OPMI® PROergo

OPMI® 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.

RONDOFLEX AIR ABRASION -

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.

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.

• Ideal adjunct to DIAGNOdent caries detection laser for minimally invasive 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
