Planmeca OY, Finland www.planmeca.com Hall 11.1, Booth G010 Planmeca Sovereign dental unit (DTI/Planmeca) The increasing demands for precisioninallareasofmodern dentistry make it difficult, if not impossible, for dentists to provide quality care with nor- mal acuity. With only a weight of 11 grams, the feature light “Merident Ultralight” loupes from German DCI now offer therapists an visible increase in productivity, work quality, as well as ergonomics. A mini-adapter simplifies the mounting of the “Merident- Ultralight” loupe on almost any frame. Working distance can be freely adjusted within a range of 30 and 60 cm, and the loupe itself along all axes to fit the user’s optical characteristics. More comfort is also given by the patented Flip-up feature. Modern anti fog safety glasses that allow working with masks without lenses getting fogged, are optionally available to the classical feather-light titanium frames. The “DeLight” LED for sha- dow free illumination of the oral cavity comple- ments the feather-light loupe. This Mini-Op light has a weight of only 6 grams and is adaptable to loupes from many other man- ufacturers. It is a three- watt power light with approximately 50,000 lux (at a working dis- tance of 35 cm) to provide coaxial white light at 5,500 °C and five hours of operating time without loss of power. The small lithium-ion battery system featuring quick recharge capabilities stand for a simple and portable han- dling. The optometrists in the DCI team guarantee expert consul- tation and professional adjust- ment of the loupe.
