The unit is designed for use on a table and cannot be wall-mounted. The light source is a high- performance light-emitting diode (LED). In contrast to halogen lights,the emitted light specifically covers the light wavelength between 430 and 480nm. The polymerization performance is so high that the exposure times can be re- duced by 50% in comparison with a conventional halogen light (with light intensity typically ranging from 600 to 800mW/cm2 ). Selected filling composites can be cured in as little as 5seconds if the light guide can be placed in close proximity to increment. Settable exposure times: •5,10,15,20 sec •Continuous mode (120 sec) •Tack-cure mode WOLF LED CORDLESS CURING LIGHT £ 159Incl VAT Incl VAT 95 p/ea A4 Insert October 2012 UK_DSC UK A4 04/11/2012 7:18 AM Page 1 iar with the pros and cons of a range of oral appliances. The most appropriate design of appliance for each patient must be chosen and if sev- eral devices could be used, the patient should be allowed input into the selection pro- cess. In this respect, BSDSM courses differ markedly from commercially based training courses that tend to only dem- onstrate the devices that they manufacture and sell. Sourcing a trained dentist To help members of the pub- lic find trained GDPs we fea- ture a ‘find a dentist’ page on our website. BSDSM members are listed geographically and can post their practice contact details. Prospective patients are reassured that these GDPs have been trained in line with current guidelines/best prac- tice. Membership benefits BSDSM membership entitles you to receive the internation- al journal “Sleep and Breath- ing”; an eminently ‘readable’ publication featuring case re- ports and original articles on a vast range of sleep disordered breathing problems. The BSDSM board fully supports its members and is just an email away from help- ing out with difficult cases and problems encountered. The BSDSM provides members with a whole range of standard documentation which saves a lot of surgery time and effort. GMP, GDP and sleep physician letters, pa- tient information leaflets and detailed medical / snoring as- sessment questionnaires. The use of BSDSM patient assess- ment and recall assessment check sheets speed patient re- calls and ensure that no vital information is left unrecord- ed. We also provide our mem- bers with specimen valid con- sent to treatment forms and oral appliance care leaflets as well as detailed instruction on patient selection. All BSDSM members re- ceive substantial discounts on BSDSM and other internation- al meetings. The BSDSM is af- filiated to the European Acad- emy of Dental Sleep Medicine (EADSM). The BSDSM also has links to several other pro- fessional Sleep Related socie- ties such as the British Lung Foundation and the British Sleep Society to name but a few. Through our affiliation with the EADSM, our aim for the future is to encour- age our members to become EADSM accredited Dental Sleep Medicine practition- ers. This qualification would be recognized by health care providers throughout Europe and would allow patients and sleep physicians to recognize those practitioners who had received training at the high- est level. DT What BSDSM members think “The BSDSM has been invalu- able in raising my awareness about the importance of the dentist’s role in the treatment of SDB and the important prac- tical role we have in treatment of snoring and sleep apnoea” (J.Bowker) “Even as a dental professional I was a victim of serious snoring. The BSDSM raised my aware- ness of the problem and showed me the correct way to screen and treat patients. My Practice is now pretty much limited to caring for patients with SDB” (A.Desai) “If you’ve a question about SDB, contact the BSDSM. Their knowledge has been invaluable to me as I’ve developed my prac- tice in this field of dentistry” (L.Lunness-Barnes) Reference: 1. J. Stradling and R.
