Carl Zeiss Meditec and Henry Schein Dental have announced a distribution partnership in the United States for the premium line of ZEISS dental microscopes, OPMI pico and OPMI PROergo, and for ZEISS EyeMag dental loupes. Henry Schein will be the distributor of ZEISS premium dental equipment to U.S. dentists and endodontists. The ZEISS dental product line is now available in the U.S. through Henry Schein.

The partnership of the Medical Technology business group of ZEISS with Henry Schein, the world’s largest provider of health care products and services to office-based dental practitioners, facilitates U.S. dentists to easily incorporate premium visualization into their practice for better examination and treatment. The high-quality ergonomic designs of ZEISS microscopes also help dental professionals in their daily practice with improved working and operating comfort.

“We are excited to partner with Henry Schein Dental and to be able to bring the benefits of dental visualization products to U.S. dentists and their patients,” said Dr. Ludwin Monz, president and CEO of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG. “ZEISS dental microscopes not only help dentists to easily improve the quality of their patient care, but also support dentists’ own health and well-being — allowing them to work ergonomically and sit comfortably when treating their patients.”

“Henry Schein is committed to offering our customers innovative, patient-centric practice solutions,” said Tim Sullivan, president, Henry Schein North American Dental Group. “Our new relationship with ZEISS opens the door to new opportunities for us to best serve oral surgeons, endodontists and the general practitioner community with a premiere line of dental equipment that helps practitioners deliver the highest quality care to patients.”

Dental microscopes from ZEISS combine precision optics with ergonomic operating and working comfort. Precise visualization of minute details and fine structures enables dental professionals to improve the quality of patient examinations and treatment. Advanced ergonomic designs optimize the clinical working environment.

Users can easily maneuver and position the microscope and work and sit comfortably — an upright posture can be achieved during procedures helping to protect against long-term neck and back problems and daily pain and stiffness.

The compact, high-performance OPMI pico microscope now integrates maintenance-free LED illumination for natural light visualization for the most demanding applications of restorative dentistry, endodontics, implantology and periodontics. The shadow-free, daylight quality illumination enables dentists to see the smallest details and to better differentiate between tissue types facilitating better patient outcomes.

With the large field of view and extensive working distance provided by the Varioskop option, dentists are able to easily visualize the entire mouth — from the front teeth to the molars — for better overview and orientation within the oral cavity.

The OPMI PROergo features advanced visualization and ergonomics in a sleek, completely integrated design with no exposed cables and components to interfere with work. With the power zoom and auto focus, clinicians can easily target and discern details in the most difficult-to-see areas of the mouth, even for root canals. Free-float magnetic suspension facilitates the effortless positioning of the microscope for any treatment situation. With advanced ergonomic and motorized controls, users do not need to change their working position during a procedure or constantly realign the microscope. The microscope is ideal for multi-user practices as preferred settings can be quickly recalled at a touch of a button.

Henry Schein will also distribute ZEISS EyeMag loupes, renowned for excellent image quality, outstanding comfort and state-of-the-art design. Dentists can experience an individualized fit due to the wide range of magnification levels and working distances available.
