Heidelberg, 14 June 2018 – Preventative therapy can avoid tooth decay and secondary diseases. The new Zooby^® Disclosing Tablets support professional teeth cleaning for children and increase their personal responsibility by colouring new plaque red and older plaque blue, highlighting areas that are often missed when brushing the teeth.

The patients then receive individual instructions and tips for their personal dental care from the practitioner. Afterwards all tooth surfaces and interproximal areas are thoroughly cleaned and polished. The fruit-flavoured tablets are available in packs of 250 and are free of gluten and erythrosine (E127). They can also be used at home to improve the daily care routine.

Professional tooth cleaning is carried out in a risk-oriented manner because the breakthrough of the second teeth brings about changes such as incomplete enamel formation, unfavourable topographical position of the chewing surfaces or retention niches and thus increasing the risk of plaque deposits. Also Orthodontic braces as well as the increase in sugar intake and acidic foods effect plaque build-up.

Zooby®’s child-friendly prophylaxis system offers a wide range of tools to significantly increase patient compliance in children. The polishing cups are made of proprietary special rubber that adapts to the tooth contour accurately.

The polishing pastes are available in six popular flavours such as chocolate, melon and berry as well as three different grains each with 1.23% fluoride. They remove stains, are remarkably efficient and are also vegan, sugar, lactose and gluten free. They are delivered as a practical hygienic single dose, and the matching finger holder is included free of charge. In order to reduce spatter, the pastes have a particularly adhesive consistency, and the hygienic disposable packaging minimizes the risk of cross-contamination.

Heidelberg, February 27, 2018 – Young Innovations can look back on a successful year: The American dental group has been present on the European market since 2017, has established the Young, Zooby^®, Microbrush^® and ContactPro^® product lines and recorded encouraging growth. Further dental innovations will be launched in 2018, which is why the sales and logistics team has been strengthened with two experienced senior professionals.

Alexander Groß is now Regional Manager and Head of Sales in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. He has been working in the dental industry for many years, most recently as Country Manager for Hu-Friedy in Southwest Germany and Switzerland. Before he worked as Sales Manager for an instrument manufacturer worldwide. He has excellent contacts and in-depth expertise in the fields of prophylaxis, periodontology, surgery, implantology and orthodontics.

John Mullarkey is the new Warehouse Manager at Young Innovations’ European logistics headquarters in Ireland. He has over twenty years of experience in the healthcare industry, including twelve years as Warehouse Facilitator at GlaxoSmithKline. Mullarkey is responsible for organising and structuring the warehouse, integrating new product lines and optimising all internal and external logistics processes. This includes the complete digitalisation of orders, warehousing and dispatch.

Heidelberg, January 16, 2018 – Young Dental presents a range of new pastes for professional tooth cleaning. They remove discolouration, achieve significant teeth whitening, and impress with their remarkable efficiency. The pH-neutral pastes are less abrasive than similar products and are also vegan, sugar-, lactose- and gluten-free.

The varieties “Mint” and “Berry” are supplied as a practical single dose, the matching finger holder is included free of charge. Available are a fluoride-free polishing paste in fine grain size and a stain remover in medium grain size with 1.23% fluoride. In order to reduce splashes, special attention was paid to a particularly adhesive consistency, the hygienic disposable packaging minimizes the risk of cross-contamination.

The sugar substitute Xylitol belongs to the ingredients, it reduces the formation of tooth-damaging acids and plaque and has a cariostatic effect. Another component is sodium bicarbonate, which shortens the cleaning time and promotes tooth whitening. It also improves the buffering capacity of saliva and eliminates harmful microorganisms in plaque. At the same time, the growth of caries bacteria is inhibited thanks to its acid neutralising effect.

Heidelberg, November 21, 2017 – The American dental group Young Innovations is not only globally present with its products, it has also been engaged in social projects worldwide for decades. Social responsibility is part of the company’s philosophy – not only at Christmas time.

Most prominent among those provided with long-term support have been certified organisations such as the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the Oral Cancer Foundation and the “Give Kids a Smile” initiative. It offers underprivileged children free dental treatment from prevention to restoration. Since 2002, more than five million patients have been treated. Young Innovations subsidizes these and other groups with products, financial support or training scholarships, for example for dental hygienists.

The employees of Young Innovations are also working for a good cause: At the European logistics center, deliveries are primarily made for dental customers, but for the past seven years, Christmas parcels have also been filled with donations by employees and sent out to people in need in Africa.

Disadvantaged children are also reached by the “Back to School” campaign. At the beginning of the school year, children’s satchels are equipped with the necessary exercise books and pens and extras such as toys, toothbrush and toothpaste. In addition, a team of dental hygienists visits selected schools and orphanages around the world. The children receive free professional dental cleaning, including fluoridation and sealants, and are taught how to look after their teeth.

Heidelberg, September 6, 2017 – From October to December Young Innovations will be presenting its product range at ten European trade fairs. Visitors can look forward to new products and take part in a prize draw. Moreover, some of the company’s top sellers will be available on site and on the dental market at reduced prices.

Special conditions apply to dental pastes and DPAs from the Young Dental and Zooby^® series of prophys, as well as to DryTips^® parotid patches, and Ultrabrush and TRU applicators from Microbrush®.

At Fachdental in Stuttgart, Infodental in Frankfurt and AFD in Paris, Young Innovations will be on hand to present its solutions for restorative dentistry, such as the ContactPro^® matrix system. Various disposable applicators from Microbrush^® will also be presented. All are flexible and remain in the desired position without springing back. Non-absorbent fibers allow for excellent uptake and release of dental fluids, as well as their precise positioning and application.

Young Dental’s assortment of prophys will also be shown. New polishing cups, disposable prophy angles, as well as pastes for professional tooth cleaning will be on display too. The Zooby^® brand is the place to start for children. The colorful products are decorated with fun animal designs, thus ensuring a relaxed atmosphere.

Reflective DryTips^® from Microbrush^® are a plus for every treatment. The parotid patches keep the teeth dry during treatment and are an ideal supplement to saliva ejectors and cotton-rolls. This is because the extremely absorbent pads are placed on the inside of the cheek right in front of the largest saliva gland. These Reflective Dry Tips have a silver film which generates greater brightness, important when working with a microscope, for example.

Heidelberg, August 22, 2017 – Microbrush^® presents various disposable applicators for the precise and economical use of dental liquids. All are flexible and designed to remain in the desired position without rebounding. Non-absorbent fibers hold the solution and allow for excellent release and accurate placement of material.

The Microbrush® applicator is suitable for applying cement, bonding and etching agents, calcium hydroxide paste, sealants and Disclosing Solution. The fixed brush head prevents dripping and is suitable for cleaning. Seven colors are available for varying or multi-stage treatments, as well as different sizes from Regular (2 mm), to Fine (1,5 mm) and Superfine (1 mm).

The Microbrush^® X applicator is used for endodontic treatments, fissures and gluing of pins. It can be bent up to 90 degrees, has a thin, long tip and is thus suitable for very narrow spots. The flexible head has short, solid fibers for uniform and controlled application of the material.

The TRU™ by Microbrush^® applicator is available for particularly demanding tasks. Its 12 cm long handle provides maximum control. The tip can be bent in two places, which allows access to areas that would otherwise be difficult to reach. This useful tool is available in seven different sizes and colors, and in four strengths from Regular (2 mm) to Ultrafine (0,5 mm).

The UltraBrush^® bristle brush applicator is ideal for applying desensitizing agents, whitening agents, fluoride, fissure sealing, and for large amounts of liquid. Its chemical-resistant fibers are able to withstand even aggressive dental substances. It is offered in two sizes: UltraBrush^® Regular Size with 200 fibers for spreading thicker material, and UltraBrush^® Fine Size with 100 fibers for more precise application.

The Micro-Stix™ applicator has an adhesive point on its head. It is therefore ideal for lifting and navigating veneers, crowns, brackets and inlays. It is removed with a slight twisting motion. The applicator’s tip retains its adhesive effect, so the applicator can be used multiple times for one patient.

All Microbrush^® applicators are available in convenient dispensers for hygienic removal or in refill cartridges.

Heidelberg, June 27, 2017 – Zooby^® was developed for the professional cleaning of children’s teeth. The colourful prophylactic products are decorated with motifs from A for Alligator to Z for Zebra. Young patients can select an animal friend that accompanies them throughout the treatment. This makes everything more tolerable and paves the way to optimal oral hygiene.

Depending on the prevailing mood, high-quality prophylactic angle pieces are available with tiger, flamingo, penguin, cheetah or zebra motifs. A number of polishing agents are also available in popular flavours. Special ingredients ensure less splatter and optimal removal of discolouration. The professional teeth cleaning process includes the thorough removal of coatings and the cleaning and polishing of not only the tooth surfaces but also the interdental spaces. This minimises the risk of caries and complications. Correct brushing techniques are also explained and practiced.

The colourful products from Zooby^® involve children in a playful way from the very beginning of the process. Kids enjoy anxiety-free therapy in a relaxed atmosphere. This creates a positive basis for further visits to the practice, as well as forming a basis for trust that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
