Greater powers for dental hygienists and therapists?
Following news that the Department of Health and Social Care plans to streamline processes within dental settings by granting ‘new powers’ to dental hygienists and dental therapists, we caught up with BSDHT President Miranda Steeples to discuss what this means for the profession and patient access. Miranda also talks about how the decision to allow dental hygienists and therapists to supply and administer medicines, including pain relief and fluoride without sign-off from a dentist, came about, and how long we might have to wait for this to come into effect. This episode is sponsored by Oralieve: Dry mouth relief for dry and sensitive mouths. https://www.oralieve-direct.co.uk/
Linda Giles provides a positive balance
Which? recently revealed the results of a dental survey it had conducted, with approximately 90% of respondents saying they would recommend their dental practice. Linda Giles from Ross Brooke Dental discusses what practices can be doing with this data, as well as how it provides a more balanced perspective of UK dentistry services.

The Probe Presents: NSK’s Ti-Max Z Series High Performance Turbines - A Review
Autumn 2023 saw the launch of NSK’s new high performance dental turbines - the Ti-Max Z990L and Z890L - designed to bring more power to dentists’ fingertips along with improved access, comfort and safety.
The launch of a dental turbine is nothing new, so what makes the Z990L and Z890L more than ‘just another turbine’? The answers lie in a new NSK podcast where the turbines have been put through their paces by a group of highly accomplished clinicians who used the new turbines extensively in their practice for a number of weeks.
The discussion
In the podcast clinicians Moj Dehghanpour, Alex Jones, Andy Legg and Rustom Moopen speak openly and honestly about their experience of using the new turbines.
The highlights include:
First impressions: the clinicians describe their individual initial reactions to the handpieces including the textured grip, improved speed and torque, better weight distribution and how comfortable the turbines are to use.
Power: the Ti-Max Z990L can deliver between 30 and 44 W of power with the air pressure at 3 to 4.2 bar. Hear what this increased power means in daily practice in terms of speed, cutting ability and safety, because as Rustom Moopen explains “you can have a lot of power but you need to have control as well”.
Feel: the exterior of the Z990L and Z890L is made of lightweight, high-strength titanium, with non-slip, non-scratch DURAGRIP coating. Did the clinicians notice any difference in feel or hand fatigue with the new turbines?
Access: the Z890L turbine has a smaller head designed for better access in hard-to-reach areas. Hear first-hand how effective the resultant extra space can be when working at the back of the mouth, on patients with limited opening, and when working with a microscope.
Quick-Stop: Patient safety is always paramount. Discover more about the benefits of the improved Quick-Stop function that halts the turbine’s high speed rotation in an instant and works to reduce suck-back to minimise cross infection.
Professional recommendation: Find out if the Z990L and Z890L turbines met the clinicians’ expectations and whether they would recommend them to their colleagues.

The Probe Presents: Implants, Education and NSK
Dr Balaji is the principal dentist and owner of The Gallery Dental and Implant Centre in Buckingham and has placed over 5,000 dental implants since he opened the practice in 2008. He is also the founder of ASHA (the Academy of Soft and Hard Tissue Augmentation), running courses and lectures across the UK and Europe
When I started The Gallery in 2008, the building was a complete shell and we had to start from scratch to establish a dental practice. In the first year, we had five employees and focused mainly on general dentistry.
However, my aim was to grow the practice to include teaching and I have been fortunate to have travelled the world, learned different skills and been able to share my knowledge and passion for education, which in turn has helped me to develop my practice.
All my skills came together when I developed an interest in implant dentistry. I had learned basic surgical skills early in my career and implant dentistry allows me to utilise these to change patients' smiles and often their lives.
I’m now doing more and more complex cases and am building a reputation as a clinician who can solve implant failures. Currently, 30% of my work is regular implant placement, and 70% is complex cases, such as bone and soft tissue augmentation and rehabilitation. I place around 300 to 400 implants a year.
The first thing I look for as a clinician is really good reliable equipment that will make my surgical life easier and won’t let me down. Secondly, it needs to be comfortable for the patient and thirdly I look for company support and service. I currently use the NSK Surgic Pro and VarioSurg3 because these tick all the boxes.
The VarioSurg3 makes surgery highly predictable, it’s faster and therefore better for the patient and the success rate is excellent. The VarioSurg3 and Surgic Pro can be linked using a simple cable. They sit on top of each other which keeps everything really compact and neat, makes life simpler and only requires one foot pedal. With everything in one place it really cuts down my surgical time and a faster procedure also means reduced swelling and reduces the chance of post-operative complications, so in every sense, a more efficient procedure benefits everyone. NSK also gives me fantastic support, they service my equipment regularly, so I never need to postpone appointments due to equipment failure. I can really rely on them.
I also use the iSD900 Prosthodontic Screwdriver on almost every case and this is a fantastic little tool. It’s an amazing instrument because it gives you great accessibility, in particular in the posterior maxilla and mandible. Trying to screw in manually with your fingers is very difficult, but with this screwdriver you simply pop the screw in and it becomes a single unit. The torque calibration system means you can prevent over or under torquing. It’s fantastic and again just makes life so much easier, it saves time and means I can carry out the procedure with confidence.
I’m a great believer in ongoing education and am the founder of ASHA, the Academy of Soft and Hard Tissue Augmentation. We run courses and lectures on treating difficult implant cases and I often mentor dentists who have been on my course. I’ve run some of my ASHA courses at NSK’s Headquarters in Stevenage and NSK has been incredibly supportive, providing all the kit and equipment necessary.
I’m very particular about the companies I work with and the equipment I use. NSK offers great support and a very high standard of equipment, both of which are fundamental, but they also invest time and money to educate dentists, which is something I’m passionate about so our relationship is built on a shared vision.
