DIAGNOdent Perio ProbeDetects Subgingival Calculus

•Laser florescence of subgingival calculus allows quantification of calculus left behind by standard root planning and scaling•Detects calculus concrements in periodontal pockets up to 9mm deep•Detected calculus levels are quantified acoustically and visually, allowing tracking over time•Hygiene treatments become more effective, prompting the hygienist to continue root planning or scaling to remove missed calculus•Audible detection and measurable values make more patients aware of their calculus levels, leading to increased patient compliance with the recommended treatmenthttp://www.kavousa.com

DIAGNOdent PenCaries Detection Aid

•DIAGNOdent uses laser technology to detect and quantify hidden or sub surface caries by measuring laser fluorescence within the tooth structure.•The device operates a wavelength of 655 nm. At this specific wavelength, clean healthy tooth structure exhibits little or no fluorescence, resulting in very low scale reading on the display.•Altered tooth substances and bacteria, including caries, will fluoresce. The DIAGNOdent will react with elevated scale readings on the display.•An audio tone allows the operator to hear changes in the scale values. This enables the user to focus on the patient – not solely on the device.•It is an extremely accurate, reliable and non-invasive method to aid in caries detection.http://www.kavousa.com

HealozoneTreatment of Decay

•Healozone is a device that delivers Ozone in a controlled manner for use in dental procedures.•Healozone converts oxygen into ozone. The ozone is then pumped through a tube and a hand piece with special silicone cups. This provides an airtight seal. There absolutely no sensation as the ozone gently bathes the infected area. In twenty seconds, 99.9% of the caries (decay) producing bacteria are eliminated. The ozone is pumped away, broken down into oxygen again-and the tooth is caries-free without pain.

PrepMasterAir Abrasion for Cavity Prep

•Disposable air abrasive tips for minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of non-cavitated carious lesions as well as class I, III and V restorations.•Each PrepMaster tip is pre filled with aluminum oxide and perform 1-3 cavity prep procedures•Flow control is simple•The pressure regulator is set to 80 psi assuring 99.5% anaesthetic free procedures because sensitivity is eliminatedhttp://www.gromaninc.com

STA SystemThe Single Tooth Anesthesia

•The first computer-controlled local dental anesthetic system where just one injection at a single tooth is all that's needed to scientifically, safely and predictably ensure single-session injection precision. •It's even highly effective for multi-quadrant cases.•STA is the only system of its kind with patented real-time visual and audible feedback technology, allowing you to easily obtain proper needle placement between the tooth and bone.http://www.milestonescientific.com

VibrajectAnalgesic Syringe Clip

•VibraJect, an analgesic syringe clip designed to reduce the pain associated with dental injections.•Eliminates the use of a topical anesthetic•VibraJect allows you to insert the needle faster, shortening the injection time.•Clips easily onto the barrel of conventional and intraligamentary dental syringes and vibrates the needle at a high frequency while injections are administered.•Its effectiveness is based on the Gate Control Theory of nerve function. In short, the theory suggests that nerve endings sense vibrations first and then cannot transmit feelings of pain. So the vibrations essentially mask your patients' discomfort, putting them at ease during even the most dreaded injections.http://vibraject.com

T-Scan IIIDental Occlusal Analysis System

•T-Scan III is a reliable and easy-to-use clinical diagnostic device that senses and analyzes occlusal contact forces using paper-thin, disposable sensors.•The T-Scan III system comes with a full-featured Patient File Management system, which makes storing patient records and tracking occlusal recordings simple, and makes the system an integral component of the clinical workstation for occlusal diagnosis and treatment.•The T-Scan III plugs right into the USB port of your Windows based PC or laptop.

CerecChairside Economical Restoration of Aesthetic Ceramics

•CEREC is a dental restoration product that allows a dental practitioner to produce an indirect ceramic dental restoration using a variety of computer assisted technologies, including 3D photography and CAD/CAM. •With CEREC, teeth can be restored in a single sitting with the patient, rather than the multiple sittings required with earlier techniques. •Additionally, with the latest software and hardware updates, crowns, veneers, onlays and inlays can be prepared, using different types of ceramic material.•The cavity preparation is first photographed and stored as a three dimensional digital model. Then the practitioner refines that model using 3D CAD software. When the model is complete, a milling machine carves the actual restoration out of a ceramic block using diamond head cutters under computer control. And when complete, the restoration is bonded to the tooth using a resin.http://www.sirona.com

NobelGuideTeeth-in-an-Hour

•A method utilizing radiographic 3-dimensional scans to make a totally accurate representation of the patients jaw and then constructing a mechanical template on this jaw which allows the dentist to place implants with extreme precision. •The precision is so good that you can actually make up the final restoration (the new teeth) on the model and transfer everything exactly to the patient’s real jaw. •Using the template in the patient’s mouth, the implants are precisely placed and then the new teeth are attached allowing the patient to leave within and hour or two or three with a complete set of teeth ready for action.http://www.nobelbiocare.com
