This is the mirror you never have to wipe. Gone are the days of constantly wiping handpiece spray and debris from a dental mirror. Gone are worries about the assistant’s air spray keeping the mir- ror clean. No longer will dentists twist their backs and necks to get a direct view of the tooth, when a spray-covered mir- ror stops serving its purpose. Only the best in class products and ser- vices become SharperPractice offerings, according to the company.

Each of- fice that purchases an OralID unit should have the ability to easily document sus- pect lesions and other abnormalities,” said Forward Science CEO Robert Whit- man, SmartFilterID is the first camera filter that enables a clinician to acquire clini- cal images with a smart device, including any iPhone or Android device. Accord- ing to the company, Forward Science de- signed SmartFilterID based on simplicity and ease of use to simplify the current photo documentation process with fluo- rescence technology. “Forward Science’s SmartFilterID is the perfect solution for the evolving tech- nologies that we use in our daily life. It makes it incredibly easy to document se- rious findings at a click of a button,” said user Amanda Canto, DDS. Forward Science has also made changes to the warranty of the OralID Kit. Many medical devices in a similar price range typically provide a one-year warranty. Forward Science stands behind its design and product, extending the warranty to two years. Forward Science president and Chief Technology Officer Dr. Brian Pik- kula said, “Each device is assembled and tested by hand right here at our head- quarters in Stafford, Texas. All are made to last.” This latest upgrade also reflects For- ward Science’s commitment to educa- tion.
