Working in partnership with Germany’s Fraunhofer research institute, KaVo’s handpiece, whose design reflects the very best in ergonomics, is an absolute masterpiece. As part of the process of creating a handpiece for the KaVo K-ERGOgrip laboratory drive which would provide the ideal response to working needs, video analyses and practical tests involving volunteers were carried out. The significantly reduced bend of the wrist supports a much more relaxed grip, optimising working conditions and enabling technicians to concentrate fully on the task at hand. Now, even tedious and complex tasks requiring maximum precision can be mastered “at the flick of a wrist”. The next generation of innovative, practical instrumental function diagnostics Now even simpler thanks to electronics. Temporomandibular joint problems can be more efficiently nominated with the new ARCUSdigma II. With the ARCUSdigma II, mandibular movements can be decisively and quickly determined. in addition, the system enables specific and therapeutically relevant methods of instrumental function analysis to be more quickly, economically and practically employed. By increasing the number of sensors to four transmitters and eight microphones, the measuring precision has been substantially increased in comparison to the predecessor, the ARCUSdigma. The ARCUSdigma II can either be freely positioned as a standalone device in the treatment room, or adapted to the assistant element of the new KaVo ESTETICA E80 treatment unit. The measurement data can be transmitted online by USB to the computer, or saved off-line with an SD memory card. On the ESTETICA E80 assistant element Precision for expanded spectrum of therapy The KaVo Diode laser is suitable for numerous indications in oral surgery, endodontics, for treating bacterial infections, and for support in periodontology (after a conventional scaling and root-planing). All of the indications listed here are preprogrammed in the device and can be individually adapted:Abscess/drainage Adenoma Aphthae Biopsy Bleaching (laser activation of bleaching substances) Desensitisation Drainage Epulis Extirpation Fibroma Fistula Frenectomy (lip frenulum) Frenotomy (tongue frenulum) Gingivectomy Gingivoplasty Hemangioma removal Hemostasis Herpes Hyperplasia Implant exposure Incisions//excisions Canal sterilisation Canal sterilisation for periapical defects Coagulation of the pulp Leukoplakias Lichen planus Mucoceles/ranula Mycoses Operculectomy Papilloma Periimplantitis Decontamination Pulpotomy Sulcus expansion Sulcus sterilisation in laser-supported periodontology Vestibulum plasty Vitrification Ease-of-use The intuitive menu structure of the GENTLEray 980 sets new benchmarks and is easy to integrate in the dental practice workday. he easy access to indication parameters ensures smooth treatment and increases the number of indications.

They are absorbed to a lesser degree by water. These lasers are therefore absorbed in particular by blood itself. Of all of these specific wavelengths, the wavelength of 980 nm is absorbed the most by water. Its effect is therefore not as dependent on the availability of blood vessels in the irradiated area as with other diode LASER’s.

The dentist guides the patient into the respective position, or the patient is instructed to perform the desired movement. Painful mandibular positions are identified in red on the report by pressing the pain button. An easily understandable depiction on the computer screen can be used to explain to the patient which of his movements move the mandible into the pain position. Benefits for your practice Patient compliance: because the patient is made aware of necessary treatment Saves time because unnecessary over-treatments are eliminated Reliable plaque detection: regular recalls; lucrative private work possible Reputation as a trendsetter: you will be recommended as somebody who works with impressive state-of-the-art dental laser diagnostics Adduction field After multiple bites a point that is 20 mm behind the incisal margin is displayed that lies approximately in the occlusal plane. Each time the dental arches are closed, the analysis is refined. The limits concerning which points are to be included in the evaluation can be freely selected. The midpoint of this adduction field corresponds to habitual occlusion and is assigned a position of the temporomandibular joint. In a subsequent long measurement, the momentary position of the mandible is portrayed. The dentist guides the mandible into a position in which the midpoint of the adduction field and the current position of the mandible overlap, and captures it with plastic registration material. Relaxing – KaVo Primus 1058 T Design Silver Edition Safety regulations In general, the LASER safety guidelines in IEC 60825-1 should be observed. Protective LASER goggles should therefore be worn by everybody near the LASER (such as the dentist, assistant and patient). The LASER safety goggles are delivered with the GENTLEray 980. KaVo offers regular LASER courses that enable you to use the LASER with confidence and skill.   Features Motivate patient prior to instrumentation Check residual plaque to verify successful root cleaning Use for recalls Plaque is detected down into the deepest pockets Reliable, regardless of blood or saliva Painless laser fluorescence detection Audio-digital screen displays visible and acoustic findings Exciting – KaVo Primus 1058 S Design Purple Edition Design Editions Comparison with the Key LASER The focus of the GENTLEray 980 diode LASER is on treating oral soft tissue with a positive haemostatic effect, and decontaminating irradiated areas as in endodontics, for example. In contrast, the KEY III is suitable for the treatment of soft tissue and hard tissue (enamel and bone), and in periodontology for gentle calculus removal. It therefore has a wider indication spectrum. Design Editions Gothic arch This method is primarily conceived for patients with impaired function as well as edentulous patients. The patient holds the intraoral needle point registration by ARCUSdigma in their mouth. The intersection of several protrusions and laterotrusions (arrow tips) represents the sought centric position. In a long-term measurement, the mandible can be adjusted to this centric occlusion or a freely defined position, and be captured by registration material. Display > 40: Plaque in gingival pockets 5 – 40: Very small plaque sites or plaque removed by the probe tip< 5: Clean gingival pockets As a therapeutic step, the ARCUSdigma analytical software can be used to create a dynamic splint in the KaVo PROTAR Digma from the pain analysis. Guided excursion movements that are shown on the computer display and are intentionally guided around the pain position allow the Digma to calculate a dynamic splint. Clear display More precise and safe tooth contact without destruction of the sapphire applicators while removing enamel. Power and performance where and when you need it Optimised interplay of speed and torque in the drive unit to ensure the laboratory samples are processed in accordance with material requirements Performance is uniquely tailored to use: torque and speed values customised for specific materials are saved in four control programs and can be retrieved as individual preset performance profiles when needed Additional features The chucking mechanism allows the chuck to be exchanged without tools and ensures maximum clockwise and counterclockwise hazard-free rotation Proven softgrip inlets for more relaxed working and comfortable haptics Shorter overall length (140 mm)that improves the distribution of weight Service-friendly single-shaft system with only two bearings Bleaching handpiece Available in November 2007 for the Premium and Classic: Optional bleaching handpiece for laser-supported in-office bleaching.
