Mirro-Vac Saliva Ejector Mirrors

The Mirro-Vac Saliva Ejector Mirror, from Indigreen Innovations, provides the ability to retract and evacuate simultaneously, improving the field of vision and reducing the amount of equipment needed in the patients’ mouth. The Mirro-Vac has an upper suction inlet that relieves tissue grab and ensures the anti-fog acrylic mirror stays clear, even under direct exhalation.

Exposé Caries Indicator Kit

Centrix introduces Exposé Caries Indicator Kit, a caries detector built in to an applicator and dispensing system. Apply Exposé simply by touching a wet tooth surface. This propylene glycol-based caries detector is used to identify infected carious dentin and is easily distinguished from the pulp. It stains the outer infected dentin only, not the uninfected (affected) dentin, allowing you to conserve healthy tooth structure. The small application head applies precisely into small prep areas. Single-use applicators eliminates set-ups, cleanup and cross contamination.

MSRP: $99.95
