DentalTown’s New Product Review

Shadows no longer cause a problem and heads or hands are no longer in the way of the light, which frees the assistant's time to be more productive in other areas. The Isolite comes with 50 disposable mouthpieces, which can be reordered in packages of 25.

The Isolite provides total dry-field isolation with higher patient comfort. The mouthpiece, with its built-in bite block, provides tongue and cheek protection that eliminates the need for cotton rolls, Dri-Angles or a rubber dam.

Aspirate
Isolite provides continuous elimination of debris and oral fluids. Isolite fully integrates aspiration with a 6-foot vacuum tube.

The Most Powerful LED Light On The Planet
Fast, cordless & lightweight, the Rembrandt Allegro challenges current technology

The Rembrandt Allegro from Den-Mat Corporation is a step into the future of curing with performance like a fast halogen. It uses the highest power blue LED available and the Allegro power management system is designed to allow simple upgrades as new technology emerges. Older generations of LED lights use multiple LED arrays in a bulky head with light density and curing times similar to conventional halogen.

With the Allegro's digital-light meter, measuring output is simple and fast. Actual light output is accurately measured in mW/cm2. The built-in battery charge indicator and included second battery help ensure you never run out of power during a procedure. Four timer settings give the versatility to perform the many different curing functions today's dentists need.

EXPA-syl, the Alternative to Retraction Cords
Expa-syl, a paste used for gingival retraction, has generated a great deal of interest this past year and made a significant impact on gingival retraction procedures. In fact, Expa-syl earned the 2002 "Most Innovative New Product of the Year" award from Reality. Its popularity is due to the numerous and unique clinical advantages.

Expa-syl holds its rigidity while in the sulcus, creating space between the tooth and the tissue like a retraction cord. The dense viscosity of the paste ensures retraction, while the presence of aluminum chloride controls bleeding. However, since little or no pressure is necessary to apply Expa-syl, there is virtually no risk of rupturing the epithelial attachments.

When using it before final cementation, Expa-syl completely replaces cord. Prior to placing Class V or indirect restorations such as veneers or crowns, Expa-syl provides the marginal access needed without the invasion of a retraction cord, leaving the tissue less traumatized.

Now Kerr offers your practice the advantages of Expa-syl in a new Starter Kit. For information, please contact your authorized Kerr dealer or call 1-800-KERR 123.


Best-Bite Discluder
Forty-million people's head, neck, facial and dental pain has been misdiagnosed as stress, tension or migraine headaches. The Best-Bite DiscluderTM is the only device that is part of a more than 50-year-old proven methodology to quickly, easily, and safely assist in the diagnosis of pain due to occlusal interference by centering the jaw joints to relieve muscle spasm and fatigue. Immediate pain relief, typically less than 2 minutes, enables the dentist and the patient to confidently proceed with predictable bite treatment to enable long-term pain relief. The cost of the Best-Bite Discluder Kit is $159.99 and includes 8 devices, 2 educational movies on CD-ROM (one for patients and one for dental office staff) and the book Stop Headaches Now by Dr. Jerry Simon. To order or for more information visit www.best-bite.com or call 888-865-7335.


CF Carbon Fiber Post and GF Glass Fiber Post
J. Morita USA expands its product line by introducing two new post systems: CF Carbon Fiber Post and GF Glass Fiber Post. Both consist of strong fiber bundles embedded in a special composite material, which will chemically bond with the dental material used for cementation and core buildup. The braided plait form of the fiber bundles, in a multi-axial arrangement, gives the posts superior resistance to bending and torsion forces than fibers in a typical single-axial arrangement. Both posts have similar elasticity as dentin, enabling them to flex with the natural dentin. They dissipate occlusal stress rather than transmitting it as metal posts do. They are non-corrosive and biocompatible. For more information, please contact your local dealer or call 888-JMORITA (566-7482). Visit their website at: www.jmoritausa.com.
