A relentless focus on patient comfort and safety is key to the success of all dental practices. When they feel safe and comfortable, practices retain more patients and often see an increase in patient referrals. So it only makes sense that clinicians are always looking for ways to increase the comfort and safety of their patients.
Aside from the benefits to dentists, dental assistants, and hygienists, the Isolite Illuminated Dental Isolation System was designed with patient comfort and safety in mind. The mouthpiece provides continuous, hands-free, variable suction so the patient never chokes or gags on saliva or blood. The suction constantly evacuates any bad-tasting chemicals or air abrasion particles that might be used during a procedure. The Isolite mouthpiece simultaneously provides isolation, while it protects the patient’s airway from aspirating any obstructions. Imagine being able to get results as good as when you use a rubber dam, without the hassle or patient discomfort associated with placing one.
Once you get the feel for how to best place the mouthpiece in their mouths, your patients will thank you. The Isolite mouthpiece is constructed of a hypoallergenic material that is softer than gingival tissue and also creates a comfortable bite block. It comes in six anatomically and morphologically correct sizes to fit anyone from pediatric to elderly patients. With a little practice, the mouthpiece can be placed in the patient’s mouth in only a few seconds and removed just as quickly.
All mouthpieces can be used with the Isolite, Isodry, or Isovac control heads. However, when used with the Isolite, the clear, bright illumination greatly reduces, or eliminates entirely, the necessity for the overhead lamp, which can be annoying when it shines in patients’ eyes.
Patients really appreciate this innovative device that increases their comfort by reducing the choking associated with saliva buildup while providing a comfortable bite block. Clinicians appreciate the Isolite because it makes their job easier. But you can say you’re doing it for the benefit of the patient, we won’t tell anyone your secret.
