With our INTRAcompact contra-angle handpiece for high-performance polishing, GENTLEpower contra-angle handpieces in combination with INTRA LUX heads for complete flexibility and new PROPHYwiz straight handpiece for disposable heads, you have the choice. Perio Probe - safe and reliable Perio prophylaxis This principle has been used for years. It is the same principle that allows selective plaque removal with KaVo's KEY laser feedback system. Similar to caries, plaque contains fluorescent substances that DIAGNOdent detects - this technology is only available from KaVo. The Perio probe for the caries detection aid DIAGNOdent allows you to track down plaque more thoroughly than conventional explorers and also allows for gentler cleaning because, now, only one cleaning session needs to be performed at the actual plaque site. This saves you time. Prevention instead of treatment Patients are becoming increasingly health conscious and are taking more trouble to preserve their healthy tooth substance. In other words, the dentist is required to detect the smallest defects. The better and earlier the diagnosis, the better therapy may be planned. If interventions are necessary, then as far as possible only minimally invasive intervention with tooth-coloured fillings are required. Equipment Battery-operated, microprocessor-controlled display unit with connectable optical fibre, loudspeaker intensity, max. value (peak), actual value (moment), battery charge state and calibration display and computer interface.

It reliably detects even the smallest lesions without exposing the patient to radiation. And there’s no probing or scraping - so no damage to healthy tooth substance. A wand containing a light-emitting diode laser and probe, is passed over the carious region. It stimulates modified tooth substance, causing it to fluoresce. The wand then directs this fluorescence back to an analysis photocell, which then displays it visually and emits an audible tone. Better maintenance of dental health with PROPHYpearls The PROPHYpearls that you use with your PROPHYflex are spherical. They more effectively and gently contact the uncleaned tooth than conventional cleaning powders with sharp or edged surfaces. The round surface of the PROPHYpearls gives an infinite number of contact points that roll over the uncleaned tooth. The cleaning results that are achieved are correspondingly outstanding. Noticeable side-effect: Since the surroundings of the tooth are protected, your patients experience cleaning with your PROPHYflex and PROPHYpearls as extremely pleasant – an important sense of wellbeing in your practice. Proximal caries - onfi dent identification Conventional methods of identifi cation are not suffi ciently reliable to detect hidden caries. Adults in particular suffer from proximal and secondary caries, assuming that these are found since visual diagnosis is highly diffi cult. Hidden caries remain hidden in two-thirds of all instances of classic examination methods. Only with the KaVo DIAGNOdent pen can you reliably detect hidden caries in the proximal region. The laser beam of the KaVo DIAGNOdent pen proximal probe makes it possible: A prism defl ects the detector laser beam 100° so that nothing remains hidden around the contact point. De-mineralised tooth substances and bacteria fluoresce when they are exposed to a specific light wavelength 550 - 670 nm, substantial fluorescence occurs between 650 and 800 nm. DIAGNOdent has a wavelength of 655 nm.

Then please fill out the form: Satisfied dentists have reported Early caries detection - improves planned treatment. Long-term patient retention thanks to brief, pain-free (or virtually pain-free) minimally invasive treatments - prevention instead of preparation. Less fear in phobic patients. Impact on treatment spectrum: Significant reduction in amalgam fillings Two to three-fold increase in single surface composite fillings 50 % increase in multi-surface composite fillings Fewer major, time-consuming restorations 20 - 40 % increase in practice revenues More private services - e.g. composite fillings Patients discharged more quickly as a result of less anaesthetic. Waiting times reduced. Caries can be monitored, stabilised and documented thanks to objective, reproducible, quantifiable findings. Superior work conditions – main features and advantages for you: The only completely sterilisable & thermodisinfectable polishing powder device, for maximum reliability Easy to use everywhere thanks to the MULTIflex coupling; no additional connections, equipment or foot controls are necessary Easy to handle for fatigue-free work Grip sleeve that can rotate 360° makes even difficultto- reach locations easily accessible Adjustable powder quantity, hence also suitable for sensitive patients  Easy to clean and refill, no downtime Extremely economical thanks to a wide range of indications for the dentist and assistant, specialists and generalists More than just the removal of plaque; aesthetic dentistry from conservative treatment to prosthetics Satisfied patients due to visible cleaning success and extremely gentle treatment KaVo PROPHYflex 3 operates in a very simple way The powder container contains sufficient powder for professional tooth cleaning. Compressed air is supplied to the handpiece via the KaVo MULTIflex coupling. When the foot control is pressed, compressed air flows into the powder container. It mixes uniformly with the powder, and the mixture flows to the exit of the cannula. At the same time, the water – strictly separated from air and powder – is fed to the exit. There, the water sheath surrounds the powder/air mixture. Two non-return valves prevent the mixture from flowing back to the MULTIflex coupling. Advantages for you Very high abrasive power – up to 50% more than the predecessor model – difficult plaque is easily removed Three performance settings – optimum work conditions for every indication Substantially quieter than comparable models offered by competitors (up to 15 dB) – which translates into less stress for the dental team and patients No additional equipment is necessary; just connect it to the KaVo MULTIflex coupling. No annoying mains cable or additional Foot Control Superior illumination: 25,000 LUX – for clear visualisation without eye fatigue Legendary KaVo quality – the SONICflex 2003 L represents the third scaler generation from KaVo, the culmination of 25 years of knowledge and experience Your experts – for every indication For whatever treatments are offered in your practice. The extensive tip selection of the SONICflex system allows you to always have the right instrument at hand. Choose your personal assortment of tips and expand it as needed. You can achieve the best results in every treatment situation – precise, reliable and efficient! Perfect findings in every application Three reliable methods that together ensure a perfect caries diagnosis: Your trained expert eye, x-ray imaging and the DIAGNOdent pen.   Caries in its early stages and hidden caries can thus be reliably detected. This enables minimally invasive treatments, the patient is subjected to less stress, and more tooth substance is retained. 45,000 enthusiastic clinicians already own a DIAGNOdent pen. Nearly 10 years of experience with fluorescent laser technology clearly demonstrate that the identification of caries with the DIAGNOdent pen is a valuable adjunct to conventional methods, and also enables the reliable and comfortable identification of calculus during periodontic sessions. DIAGNOdent Display 2191 The DIAGNOdent has been optimised to your needs and expanded with the display. By means of an infrared interface, the DIAGNOdent are shown both on the handpiece and the display. Measurements are quickly and easily visible to you and your patients. Only the DIAGNOdent pen makes it possible It precisely identifi es calculus and visually indicates the fi ndings by a number for the dentist, assistant and patient to see. The perio probe of the DIAGNOdent pen detects calculus more thoroughly than conventional probes. Cleaning becomes less invasive because only those regions are cleaned where plaque actually exists. This saves you time. And it‘s only available from KaVo: Periodontitis prophylactic – accurate, reliable, convenient. With the DIAGNOdent pen and it‘s a special perio probe, you only clean where calculus is actually located. This saves time and decreases patient stress. Scientists and dentists agree „High reliability“ „... with greater than 90% reliability, DIAGNOdent pen technology measures carious lesions that were not detectable with x-rays or a probe. Reservations are overcome by the combined use of an intra-oral camera, x-rays and the DIAGNOdent.“ Mark E. Hyman DDS, Greensboro, NC, USA Attractive colours and new powder taste PROPHYflex 3 in new colours Violet, Apple green, Orange and of course original Black New: Now with a Sirona connection Just one click - for KaVo MULTIflex couplings and Sirona couplings Yes, prophylaxis can be this fresh! Test the DIAGNODent/DIAGNOdent pen Would you like to know more about the DIAGNOdent/DIAGNOdent pen? Or have it demonstrated in your practice? Or test it yourself? Then please fill out the form: The robust sapphire probes can detect caries wherever they are, even in the interdental space. Whilst the fissure probe sends out a parallel laser beam as usual, the approximal probe has 100° laser beam deflection, allowing the entire surface of the tooth to be scanned easily. A colour marking makes it easy to set the beam direction and it only takes a few minutes to examine the entire interdental space.

consideration of the individual caries risk factors, enhance early identifi cation of caries and diagnosis. Based on the favourable reproducibility of its values, the DIAGNOdent pen is an outstanding instrument for detecting the development of lesions in regular examinations. Prof. Dr. Adrian Lussi, Universität Bern Results for all to see The measured results of the DIAGNOdent pen are sometimes difficult to read, and sometimes they do not lie within the patient‘s line of vision. In these instances, the optional remote display can be used. It can be set up wherever you and your patients need to obtain clear visual confi rmation that caries treatment or calculus removal is necessary.  The stand-alone display receives its data remotely from the DIAGNOdent pen and displays them enlarged and distinct.

Satisfied patients Reduced need for major treatments such as root canal, bridges, crowns etc Patients' own teeth retained for longer. Virtually pain-free treatment. Less anaesthetic. No exposure to radiation. No enamel damage caused by sharp probes. Psychological benefits for children and phobic patients. Visual and audible signals make it easy for patients to understand The exposure is achieved by means of a laser diode whose light is passed via an optical fibre and a probe to the caries area. Altered tooth substance is excited and fluoresces. The fluorescence is passed via the return line in the optical fibre back to a corresponding evaluation logic unit (photocell) and then displayed and indicated acoustically. Effectiveness Calibration references Approx probe Accessories Two tips: The tips may be easily changed for the respective indications. The handpiece is simple to manipulate and lies easily in the hand. Satisfied patients No damage to enamel by sharp-edged probes. Natural teeth are preserved for a longer time and healthy tooth substances are protected in association with minimally invasive instruments (SONICflex Line tips). Less exposure to radiation because no X-ray pictures are taken. Particularly advantageous for children and psychologically anxious patients. Best preventive care. Visual and acoustic representation of measured values make them easily understandable for patients. Reproducible and quantifiable results permit checking, stabilization and documentation of caries development. High degree of patient loyalty thanks to high efficiency.

Work efficiently and without fatigue The PROPHYflex is optimised for you and your assistant: It is easy to use with your existing foot control. Even after performing a series of prophylactic treatments, there is no fatigue. You achieve superior results over a short time from the first to the last patient. Research has shown: It's the gold standard for fissures The KaVo DIAGNOdent pen has a much greater success rate than conventional diagnosis methods. No other method – be it visual, probe-based or X-ray based – has proven as precise or reliable in the detection of caries. Even when there appears to be no visible cavity. It has a 90% success rate in detecting caries. The DIAGNOdent laser fluorescence method has therefore been scientifically-recognised as the gold standard in the area of occlusal fissures. Accompanying studies completed by Prof. Lussi, in Bern, have proven that the new DIAGNOdent pen has the same level of sensitivity and precision as the existing KaVo DIAGNOdent device.

This is frequently hidden by intact enamel layers - hidden caries.   DIAGNOdent has become the gold standard for diagnosing fissure caries. The KaVo DIAGNOdent pen detects the different levels of fl uorescence between healthy and diseased tooth substance. Even very small lesions can be detected reliably without exposure to ionising radiation. Healthy tooth substance remains unaffected: No probe, scratches or damage. Advantages for you Very high abrasive power – up to 50% more than the predecessor model – difficult plaque is easily removed Three performance settings – optimum work conditions for every indication Substantially quieter than comparable models offered by competitors (up to 15 dB) – which translates into less stress for the dental team and patients No additional equipment is necessary; just connect it to the KaVo MULTIflex coupling. No annoying mains cable or additional Foot Control Superior illumination: 25,000 LUX – for clear visualisation without eye fatigue Legendary KaVo quality – the SONICflex 2003 L represents the third scaler generation from KaVo, the culmination of 25 years of knowledge and experience Fast tip exchange – Effective, saves time, and prevents unnecessary interruptions in your workflow Gentle treatment – to the patient’s benefit The KaVo SONICflex offers your patients much gentler treatment.
