MICRODENTISTRY......................
MicroDentistry
Micro-dentistry is
a modern approach to the age-old problem of detecting tooth
ailments. Using current technology and techniques, micro-dentistry
allows early detection of cavities and decay to preserve
as much of the tooth as possible and to utilize less invasive
treatments to correct them.
Recent technological advances give
us the ability to prepare a tooth for a restoration without
having to remove healthy tooth material. We are also able
to construct the smallest possible restorations and to ensure
the strength and longevity of restorations placed using
micro-dentistry

What is Air Abrasion?
Air abrasion is a gentle spray of
an air and powder mix that removes tooth decay.
Does it hurt?
Almost never! The dentist can make
the procedure virtually painless by controlling the speed
and the intensity of the powder and air. In most cases,
this means no drill and no injection.

PROergo
Angled optics for viewing in any position
There are, of course,
difficult-to-access areas which would make therapy almost
impossible, were it not for the angled optics.
These optics allow the dentist to view these difficult-to-access
areas in a comfortable posture and to direct the light right
to where you need it.
A rotatable tube dovetail allows ideal viewing when OPMI®
PROergo is tilted to one side or into extreme positions.
• Seeing is believing
- maximum brilliance of the image provided by the microscope,
optimized light intensity, total color fidelity. What are
sometimes only catchwords for others are standard features
in OPMI®PROergo and optics from Carl
Zeiss.
• Natural stereoscopic vision also for eyeglass wearers:
widefield optics ensure relaxed viewing through the microscope.
• The integrated video camera (option) provides first-class
monitor images - for perfect communication with your patients
and for your assistants.
• The zoom and focusing speeds as well as the brightness
level are automatically adapted to the magnification set.
• Every single detail in the treated area is impressively
illuminated by the excellent fiber optic cold-light illumination
system.
• Swing-in filters for enhanced functionality: an orange
filter prevents the premature hardening of plastic fillings,
a green filter makes even the finest vessels visible in
tissue with a strong blood flow.

DIAGNODENT
LASER
What is the
laser used for?
The
diagnodent laser is an invaluable tool used to detect decay
at the earliest stages. It has made it possible to accurately
diagnose decay more effectively than conventional methods
such as probing and x-rays. Early decay can be easily treated
using the Microdentistry philosophy. This means less tooth
structure is lost. It has revolutionised dentistry today.
DIAGNOdent
- Laser Caries Detection Aid
Accurate, reliable caries
detection aid
More and more patients
place value on healthy and attractive teeth. In order to
maintain them, the earliest possible care is essential.
DIAGNOdent aids in the detections of caries. Even very small
lesions are detected at the earliest stage, enabling you
to protect and preserve the tooth substance.
Detecting
the invisible
If
you cannot detect the disease, how can you treat it?
Dentists often experience anxiety when attempting to diagnose
the phenomenon known as hidden caries. A suspicious-looking
tooth presents a treatment dilemma for dentists. Should
the tooth be opened up? What if no caries is found? Should
the tooth just be watched, or does that give caries more
time to destroy the tooth's surface?
A changing caries model: due to floridation,
caries has gone "underground". While helping to
improve the oral health of many Americans, fluoridation
has resulted in harder tooth enamel. Incipient caries lesions
that once began on the tooth's surface have no migrated
below the surface.
Proven
clinical results:
Treatment decisions require a higher degree of certainty.
The DIAGNOdent laser caries detection aid removes the doubt
from treatment decisions regarding hidden caries ore questionable
stained grooves. The device's ability to see into occlusal
pits and fissures enables dentists to treat sub-surface
caries lesions with confidence.
Benefits to you
and your patients
• Permits use of minimally invasive
treatments without unnecessary preparation - ideal adjunct
to air abrasion and micro rotary instruments.
• For the first time, allows the quantification of caries
activity over time with a precise and reliable measurement.
• Reproducible results permit checking, stabilization and
documentation of caries.
• Ideal device for the hygienist to detect suspicious areas
needing further examination.
• Is conservative by avoiding "exploratory" excavation
of suspect teeth.
• Extremely accurate diagnostic aid. Proven to be over 90%
accurate.
• Early detection of pathological changes that are undiagnosed
by conventional examination methods (e.g. intial lesions,
demineralization and changes in the enamel, fissure caries).
• No scratching probe: simple, fast and painless examination.
• Increases operator and patient confidence about treatment
decisions due to accurate visual and acoustic representation
of measured values.
• No x-ray exposure. Practice building, revenue enhancing.
• High level of patient acceptance and satisfaction.
Over 90% accurate
Proportion of "correct diagnoses"
using various diagnostic methods (in the case of seemingly
intact occlusal surfaces).
In a study conducted
by Dr. Lussi of Berne University, Switzerland, general practitioners
correctly diagnosed hidden fissure areas by visual inspection
in only 57% of all cases. The same group achieved an impressive
success rate of 90% with the DIAGNOdent. In fact, DIAGNOdent
was far more accurate than any other method in the study
including bitewing X-rays.

Portable
- Convenient - Effective - Economical:
Now there is an easy-to-use portable snap-on way to add
air abrasion to every operatory. Our patients will love
the smooth and quiet operation. And if you already have
been exposed the DIAGNOdent, you'll find the RONDOflex Plus
to be a highly efficient treatment companion.
What is so
unique about the RONDOflex Plus?
The powder jet at the end of the RONDOflex Plus tip is surrounded
by water. This water spray traps powder particles in, reducing
particle overspray and increasing patient and operator comfort
without compromising cutting efficiency.

dentistry.
• Preparation of small carious lesions.
• Opening and extension of fissures.
• Removal of hard tooth substance.
• Removal of deep discoloration.
• Roughening of adhesive surfaces of crowns, bridges, brackets
and pins.
• Removal of cement residues from crowns, bridges and brackets
