VELscope
Oral Cancer Screening
System
•VELscope technology looks deep
within the tissue to where oral

as an irregular, dark area that
stands out against the otherwise
normal, green fluorescence pattern
of surrounding healthy tissue

DIAGNOdent Perio
Probe
Detects 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 treatment

DIAGNOdent Pen
Caries 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.

Healozone
Treatment 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.

PrepMaster
Air 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
eliminated

STA System
The 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 multiquadrant 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.

Vibraject
Analgesic 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.

T-Scan III
Dental Occlusal
Analysis System
•T-Scan III is a reliable and easy-touse 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. Vivid graphics make seeing
the balance of the perfect bite easy to
determine and adjust. Data can be
printed to provide valuable
documentation for patient files,
patient education or insurance
documentation.

Cerec
Chairside 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.

NobelGuide
Teeth-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.

Waterlase MD
Laser
•Waterlase uses a patented
technology combining laser energy
and a spray of water, a process called
HydroPhotonics to perform a wide
range of dental procedures on teeth,
gum and bone more comfortably
•Does not require injections, reducing
patient fear and anxiety creating a
gentler and relaxing atmosphere.
•Patients typically experience less
bleeding, swelling and post-op
discomfort, and require less
medication.
•Procedures that once took several
appointments to complete, such as
restorations in multiple quadrants
can now be finished in just one visit
•It can create better bonding surface
for restorations.
•The possibilities are endless…

Helios 3000
Lighting
•Using multi-colored LED’s (red,
green, blue and amber), the light
temperature can be touch-button
controlled to produce both 5000°K
and 4200°K settings. This is
optimal for shade matching
•Illumination occurs only where
you want it to – in the oral cavity,
not in the patient’s eyes.
•Prevents polymerization of
restorative materials. Never dim or
move your operatory lights again.
•Heat conduits and the channeled
heat sink with a forced air
convection fan eliminate nearly all
radiant heat.
•The Helios 3000 has a maximum
output of 48 watts. That’s nearly
70% less energy consumed than
standard halogen operating lights.
