NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: Those looking for Dux Dental at the recent Greater New York Dental Meeting could find it at the Kerr booth. Following the June acquisition of Dux by the Danaher Corp., Dux is now part of the KaVo Kerr Group’s global platform of brands. Rob Laurenti, with Dux, was stationed in the Kerr booth with a number of popular Dux Dental products, including free samples of Identic alginate and Clean and Lube wipes.

Laurenti said the Identic alginate is known for its easy mixing and accurate results. The free sample is one of the single-unit doses. Laurenti said the Clean and Lube wipes or spray work great to keep your alginate bowl clean, and they will also help the bowl last longer.

Also available are the company’s popular Bib-Eze disposable bib holders, which enable you to never clean a bib chain again, supporting your practice’s infection-control efforts.

Another popular offering from the company is its lead-free apron for patient X-ray procedures. It’s 30 percent lighter than typical leaded aprons and provides 100 percent of the protection, according to the company.

In addition to DUX Dental, the KaVo Kerr Group global platform of brands includes KaVo, Kerr, Kerr Total Care, Pentron, Axis|SybronEndo, Orascoptic, Pelton & Crane, Marus, DCI Equipment, Gendex, DEXIS, Instrumentarium, SOREDEX, i-CAT, NOMAD, Implant Direct and Ormco. All are part of the Washington, D.C.-based conglomerate Danaher Corp.
