CHARLOTTE, NC— Sirona Dental Systems, the world’s only full-line dental equipment manufacturer introduces the C8+ dental treatment center, with an improved delivery head to provide more flexibility and power to dentists and their assistants. A variety of standard features and available options combine to create a unique package that will fit the practice styles and space requirements of any doctor. “We created the C8+ to be the most flexible dental treatment center on the market, while retaining high quality with every option,” said Andrew McIlveen, Assistant Product Manager – Operatory Equipment, of Sirona. “The delivery head is dentist’s focal point, and it was important that we create a system that offers the most power, convenience and capability, in a way that conforms to the personal preferences of the practitioner. And we needed to do it in a way that did not compromise on value. The C8+ achieves this goal.”
The new C8+ is also available with two styles of cart delivery systems. The integrated cart is directly connected to the patient’s chair, and controlled via the single foot control. The stand-alone cart is completely self-contained, and its connection box can be mounted according to the dentists’ requirements. Both cart options are fully mobile and can be located at any position around the chair to facilitate efficient and comfortable procedures.
Instrument location is also a critical factor to dentist comfort. Personal practice styles dictate the location of the hoses – either traditional hanging format or continental whip-arm hose supports for dentists who prefer to work in the 12:00 o’clock position. The C8+ supports both options, with a convenient conversion that can be managed by a single person in just a few minutes. This flexibility creates excellent return on investment for practitioners when they decide to sell the equipment or bring additional doctors into the practice, as it supports any style of dentistry.
Beyond the physical positioning of the instrument panel, the Sirona C8+ incorporates leading technology to create a more powerful and user-friendly solution. Dual touch pads create comfortable access to controls for both right- and left-handed dentists. And these controls offer top line performance, from automatic memory functions to LED-indicated, variable speed control for electric handpieces.
The automatic memory function promotes efficiency as the delivery head remembers the most recent speed setting for each handpiece, allowing the dentists to move between instruments without continuously resetting the control. In addition, the speeds are displayed on the touchpad in 20-degree increments from low to full power, letting the dentist see exactly how much force is being applied to the electric handpieces, and adjust accordingly.
“We believe we have created the most user-friendly dental treatment center on the market.” Said McIlveen. “And the delivery head is at its core with its ergonomic design, streamlined controls and full integration capability. Add in the comfort of the chair and additional features such as our sophisticated patient communication system and you have a complete dental treatment center that facilitates a superior experience for both patient and doctor.”
