Focus On: Adhesive Mixing Technology Can Help Facilitate Sustainability in Dental Practices
A new adhesive mixing technology can save money by reducing materials consumption.
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in all aspects of the economy and manufacturing. The production of dental materials is no exception; here, too, sustainability is playing a crucial role in developing advanced, environmentally friendly technology. This technology embraces the principles of “green dentistry,” which has the following aims: continuous innovation, reducing waste, protecting resources, and ensuring the long-term health and well-being of patients.1
Another consideration is the fact that dentists play double roles as physicians and business people. As self-employed professionals, they need to pay special attention to both their level of medical expertise and the economic side of their business. In addition to time management and general administrative tasks, managing the cost of dental materials is crucial to improving efficiency.2
