Hygiene Tribune U.S. Edition | October 2015 XXXXX C5INDUSTRY NEWS Designs for Vision’s new LED DayLite® WireLess™ not only frees you from being tethered to a battery pack, but the simple modular design also uncouples the “Wire- Less” light from a specific frame or single pair of loupes. Prior technology married a cordless light to one pair of loupes via a cumbersome integration of the batteries and electronics into the frame. The com- pact design of the DayLite WireLess is in- dependent of any frame/loupes. The patent-pending design of the LED DayLite WireLess is a new concept: a self- contained headlight that can integrate with various platforms, including your existing loupes, safety eyewear, light- weight headbands and future loupes or eyewearpurchases.TheLEDDayLiteWire- Less is not limited to one pair of loupes or built into a specific eyeglass frame. The LED DayLite WireLess can be transferred from one platform to another, expanding your “WireLess” illumination possibilities across your eyewear options. The LED DayLite WireLess weighs only 1.4 ounces and, when attached to a pair of loupes, the combined weight is half the weight of integrated cordless lights/ loupes. The LED DayLite WireLess produc- es more than 40,000 lux at high inten- sity and 27,000 lux at medium intensity. The spot size of the LED DayLite WireLess will illuminate the entire oral cavity. The function of the headlight is controlled via capacitive touch. The LED DayLite WireLess is powered by a compact, rechargeable lithium-ion power pod. It comes complete with three power pods. The charging cradle enables you to independently recharge two pow- er pods at the same time and clearly dis- plays the progress of each charge cycle. Wireless and unconnected: ‘WireLess’ headlight is self-contained booths, No. 800 or No. 3029, at the ADA meeting, and booth No. 433 at the AAP meeting.

(Source: Designs For Vision) Micro Series: Smaller, lighter, stronger Designs for Vision is showing the Micro Series together for the first time this fall. The Micro 3.5EF Scopes use a revolutionary optical design that re- duces the size of the prismatic telescope by 50 percent and reduces the weight by 40 percent, while providing an expand- ed-field full-oral-cavity view at 3.5x mag- nification. The new Micro 2.5x Scopes are 23 per- cent smaller and 36 percent lighter than traditional 2.5x telescopes, and enlarge the entire oral cavity at true 2.5x magni- fication. The Micro Series is fully customized and uses the proprietary lens coatings for the greatest light transmission.

The spirited debate that follows results in a variety of prod- ucts — obscure and well-known, basic and aspirational — being honored. “Technology decisions can be expen- sive and confusing for many doctors. Our job as ‘Best of Class’ panelists is to eat, sleep, live, breath and use technology in our general practices in real, everyday dentistry. We also have a chance to show and discuss these products with dental students and colleagues,” said Dr. John Flucke, writer, speaker and technology editor for Dental Products Report. “This allows us to provide recommendations that a doctor and staff can rely on to make informed decisions regarding their technology purchases.” The panel consists of five dentists with significant knowledge of and expe- rience in dental technology, including Shuman; Flucke; Paul Feuerstein, DMD, writer, speaker and technology editor for Dentistry Today; Marty Jablow, DMD, technology writer and consultant for Dr. BiCuspid; and Parag Kachalia, DDS, vice- chair of preclinical education, research and technology, University of Pacific School of Dentistry. “With each new product innovation — infection control and prevention is our No. 1 goal. The addition of DentaPure into the Crosstex family of products allowed us to offer a waterline treatment solution that was not only effective and compli- ant, but also safe for our customers. To learn that such an astute panel of dentists selected DentaPure as ‘Best of Class’ is not only an honor, but it is my hope that the acknowledgement will have more clinicians considering the treatment of their dental unit waterlines to safeguard patients and staff alike,” said Gary Stein- berg, president and CEO of Crosstex.

Best of Class, Technology: DentaPure Waterline Treatment Cartridges By Crosstex Staff Now in its seventh year, the Pride Insti- tute’s “Best of Class” Technology Award continues unparalleled in its integrity and approach to recognizing excellence in dental innovation. In 2015, Denta- Pure® Waterline Treatment Cartridges from Crosstex is one of those lauded as “Best of Class.” “To be honored as ‘Best of Class’ is a sign that a product has revolutionized, simplified or advanced its category in a distinctive way,” said Dr. Lou Shuman, “Best of Class” founder. “The manufac- turers represented here are driving the conversation for how dental practices will operate today and in the future. The foundation for our success in bringing attention to these products has always been our formula: technology leadership in dentistry, unbiased and not for profit.” “Best of Class” honorees are chosen by a panel comprising leading voices in den- tal technology, who come together each year to discuss, debate and decide what products merit recognition. All technology categories are consid- ered, but if there is no clear differentiator that sets a product apart in its category, then no winner is selected. Panelists who receive compensation from dental companies are prevented from voting in that company’s cat- egory. Over the years, the panel has developed a rapport that lends itself to candid and insight- ful analy- sis of the value of the dif- Crosstex DentaPure Waterline Treatment Cartridges earned top honors from the Pride Institute.
