ADX 2024 judged another success

ADX Sydney was another success, buoyed by good attendance levels at the country's largest dental industry product, service and equipment exhibition, coupled with a strong CPD program. Almost 7000 people attended ADX24 Sydney held at the ICC plus others involved in the associated social and networking events during the three-day event.

Many exhibitors reported a great level of interest in the commercial stands and strong enquiries for the products on offer which were on show from March 21-23.

One of the larger exhibitors, A-dec, used the event to showcase its latest "A-dec Pro" delivery systems, built on its range of dental units, known for their ergonomics, comfort and proven reliability; and also the premium Dürr Hygoclave range of autoclave equipment.

A-dec Pro delivery systems

The A-dec Pro 500 system was launched for sale in Australia in late 2023 and has now been joined by the all-new A-dec 300 Pro. As the A-dec 300 Pro only recently became available through A-dec dealers, ADX Sydney was the first time many have had the chance to see the new delivery system.

New A-dec 300 Pro Continental delivery

In addition to the option of full internet connectivity* and a larger more interactive 5" capacitive touchpad, the A-dec 300 Pro delivery system includes the option of an all-new ergonomically advanced Continental delivery system.

The new soft rubber tubing support arms offer ultimate flexibility and almost unrestricted lateral movement. This configuration has won widespread support for its superior ergonomic design which delivers significant benefits around occupational health.

(*The A-dec 300 Pro can be linked to A-dec+ by an optional gateway to provide full connectivity to provide access to onboard diagnostics and streamline equipment management and maintenance).

A-dec 500 Pro: Connected

A-dec Marketing manager, Simon Taggart, said everything people have come to appreciate about the A-dec 500 dental chair is now available with the new A-dec 500 Pro delivery system.

"Enabled with A-dec+ and an updatable software platform, the A-dec 500 Pro delivery system supports your dental team with a new level of connection.

Intelligent control

"The A-dec Pro control system is extremely user-friendly, being intuitive, responsive and predictable. This inspires confidence. It's that feeling you get each time you greet a new patient, knowing that your equipment is up-to-date and consistent - yet still so intuitive. It's as if you're not keeping up with technology; it's keeping up with you."

Mr Taggart said a key difference with the A-dec Pro system is the introduction of connectivity, which makes the delivery system future-proof, being easily expandable and upgradeable.

"A software-based platform paired with A-dec+ brings technological flexibility to your practice. So, your equipment is relevant - and you're ready for whatever lies ahead."

Flexible integration

Mr Taggart said A-dec products are engineered to last, but technology is ever-changing.

"The ability to integrate new clinical capabilities with the existing platform means your equipment can keep up with you and your future practice as the software-based operating system is future expandable."

Optimal access

He said A-dec's patient chair retained its superior ergonomics and accessibility, making it extremely comfortable for both the patient and the operator.

"Everything you need is easy to position and comfortably within reach. Close-in to your patient, your posture is healthy, your view is clear and your reach is minimal. It's amazing how time flies when you're that comfortable.

Superior care

"This combination results in superior patient care. The gentle, supportive comfort of the A-dec dental unit puts your patients at ease for a positive experience that sets you apart.

Peace of mind

"And of course, a key consideration for many is A-dec's legendary reliability and now a delivery system which is designed for the future. Rest assured, your equipment is ready to work reliably – patient after patient, day after day."

The premium A-dec 500 Pro delivery features a larger 7" touchscreen, featuring large customisable graphics and "swipe" functionality to easily scroll through screens. The system can identify and control all attached instruments, including reciprocating instruments for endodontic procedures to control RPM or bur speed - a useful feature when operating speed increasing or speed reducing handpieces.

The A-dec Pro system can also automatically detect and display the colour-coded scaler intensity when connected to an Acteon Satelec scaler and can be configured to work with other scalers and ancillary instruments.

The dental units are also available in an expanded range of decorator colours to fit in with any practice.

The all-new A-dec Pro 300 and A-dec Pro 500 "connected" delivery systems are available now from A-dec dealers around Australia.
