Prophix video toothbrush
Dental technology company ONVI recently announced the launch of its video toothbrush, Prophix.
Prophix pairs wirelessly to an app, using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, allowing people to better see and understand their current oral health status while they brush. The app is currently compatible with the iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, and iPhone 5. An Android app is currently in development.
With Prophix, users can watch a live video feed that reveals the spots they miss as they brush; take and save pictures of areas of concern or interest; track their progress and see trends in their usage over time. The toothbrush also provides tips to improve overall oral health-care habits.
Prophix is scheduled to ship in the third quarter of 2017, and is now available for preorder at a discounted price. For more information, visit getprophix.com.
LEDview Plus operating light
With the new LEDview Plus operating light, Dentsply Sirona provides an ergonomic workflow and hygienic safety.
The new light is equipped with polychrome LEDs that enable true-to-life color rendering. As a result, the evaluation of gingiva and hard dental tissue is easier and the treatment is safer. If a composite filling is placed, the white LEDs can be deactivated to reduce the blue light component, preventing premature hardening of the filling material.
The LEDview Plus can be controlled both via a sensor and from the EasyTouch control panel on the dentist’s element. Positioning grips are mounted on both sides, and can be removed, cleaned and thermally disinfected.

Vista Dental Products has introduced a new product, the Dripless Syringe. The patent-pending syringe features anti-drip technology, reducing the risk of bleach stains or damage to skin, eyes and oral mucosa, and costs no more than a standard irrigating syringe.
The product features a color-coded plunger to quickly identify sodium hypochlorite, and a color-coded ring for improved visibility in magnified fields. The syringes are available untipped or pre-tipped with capacities of 6 of 12 cubic centimeters.
