Isolite dental isolation technology garners more industry recognition

The equipment is designed to solve many of the frustrations that dental professionals deal with on a daily basis.

The device gently holds the patient’s mouth open, keeps the tongue out of the working field and guards the patient’s vulnerable airway, all while continuously evacuating saliva and excess moisture.

The super-soft mouthpiece used with the device makes for a more comfortable experience for the patient and allows dental professionals to work more efficiently with greater control over the oral environment.

Additionally, the company said its IsodryTi, a non-illuminated dental isolation system, was named to Dentistry Today magazine’s Top 50 Technology Products for 2010. IsodryTi performs all the functions as Isolite, with the exception of intra-oral illumination. The IsodryTi was introduced to the dental industry in February.

Both dental isolation systems utilize the patented Isolite Isoflex mouthpiece. The unique shape and softness of the mouthpiece is key to the systems’ advanced dental isolation. The latex-free mouthpiece comfortably allows fluids and debris to be aspirated from deep within the oral cavity.

Built-in tongue, cheek and throat shield protect the patient from injury and provide an added measure of assurance that the airway is better protected from possible dental debris. Single-use Isolite mouthpieces are available in five sizes to fit the spectrum of patients from small child to large adult.
