Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | November 2015a8 INDUSTRY 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. 433, at the AAP meeting, and booth Nos. 2012 and 4625 at the GNYDM meeting.

(Source: Designs For Vision) Micro Series: Smaller, lighter, stronger Designs for Vision has been show- ing the Micro Series together for the first time this fall. The Micro 3.5EF Scopes use a revolutionary optical design that reduces the size of the prismatic tele- scope by 50 percent and reduces the weight by 40 percent, while providing an expanded-field full-oral-cavity view at 3.5x magnification. 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.

For decades, the idea of getting a dental injection has terrified patients. Quite frankly, the uncertainty, unpre- dictability and long onset time of local anesthetic equally terrifies the practi- tioner. The Anutra Local Anesthetic Delivery System redefines local anesthetic deliv- ery. It radically enhances patient expe- rience and comfort while transforming a practitioner’s efficiency, profitability — as well as the profundity and predict- ability of local anesthetic. Age-old science made simple Buffering is an age-old science that has been used in the medical community for decades. Buffering is simply taking something acidic, mixing it with some- thing more basic to neutralize the acid. So why does this matter in dentistry? Lidocaine with epinephrine has a low pH, meaning it is extremely acidic. In fact, its pH is close to that of citric acid, which is found in limes and lemons. Could you imagine injecting lemon juice into someone’s mouth? We simply would not do that. Much of the burning and stinging sensation comes from the fact that local anes- thetic is very acidic. The Anu- tra Local Anesthetic Delivery System makes buffering simple. By loading an Anutra Cassette at the beginning of the week, clinicians can simply buffer anes- thetic for every patient by twisting the knob on the Anutra Dispenser. It could not be easier. Topical effect, too What adds to the amazing power of buff- ered anesthetic is a topical effect that is a result of a CO2 microbubble that is formed when local anesthetic is mixed with sodium bicarbonate. Many practi- tioners report dropping a small amount on the mucosa prior to injecting for a very powerful topical anesthetic. Not only is patient comfort increased with buffered anesthetic, a practitio- ner’s efficiency is dramatically opti- mized. Since buffered anesthetic is raised to physiologic pH, the anesthetic crosses the nerve membrane more read- ily, meaning a patient can reach pulpal anesthesia in as little as two minutes, even with blocks. Additionally, any- where from 4,000–6,000 times the ac- tive molecules of anesthetic will cross the nerve membrane, making it more profound than normal lidocaine as well as increasing the predictability that a patient will get numb the first time, even on those hard-to-numb patients. Disposable, multidose, one-handed aspiration syringe Not only does the Anutra Local Anes- thetic Delivery System provide a simple platform for you to buffer in your prac- tice, it also introduces the first-known, FDA approved, multidose, one-handed aspiration syringe that is fully dispos- able. So what does that mean? It means that you can hold up to 6 mL of anesthetic in one single syringe. There is no need to reload cartridges; one syringe can hold the equivalent of at least three tradi- tional 1.8 mL dental cartridges. According to the company, with its affordable cost, revolutionary new sy- ringe, simple dosing system and long shelf-life, the Anutra Local Anesthetic is a no-brainer for every dental practice. Not only does the Anutra Local Anesthetic Delivery System provide a simple platform for practitioners to buffer anesthesia in the practice, it also introduces the first-known, FDA approved, multidose, one-handed aspiration syringe that is fully disposable.
