New Design Delivers Improved Performance for Company’s Dental Isolation Technology

SANTA BARBARA, CA – February 23, 2009 – Isolite Systems, maker of the innovative and ergonomically efficient Isolite™ dryfield illuminator,  launched a new mouthpiece for the system at the Chicago Dental Society’s Midwinter Meeting in Chicago, IL.

The Isolite dryfield illuminator is an award-winning dental device that combines the functions of light, suction and retraction into a single tool solving many of the frustrations that dental professionals deal with on a daily basis. With the addition of the new Medium DV (Deep Vestibule) mouthpiece to its product line-up, Isolite Systems now makes available five distinct and innovative mouthpieces which are designed to fit patients varying in size – from small children to large adults.

The exciting new shape and design of the Medium DV mouthpiece allows for more complete tongue retraction and a better fit in a patient’s mouth. Its expanded cheek shield shape provides improved suction that goes deeper into the vestibule. The new design also provides for additional suction capacity within the bite block itself, assuring saliva does not pool behind the mouthpiece.

"This new mouthpiece has been in development for more than a year, and we are proud to introduce it to the dental market during the Midwinter meeting," said Sandi Hirsch, General Manager of Isolite Systems. "Even though dentists praise the isolation they are currently achieving with our regular Medium mouthpiece, the new Medium DV mouthpiece will make the working field brighter and drier for all dental professionals, making their procedures a lot easier to manage. It will also address the need for those situations when patients are in between a standard medium- or large-size mouthpiece."
Dennis J. Fasbinder, DDS, clinical professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Dentistry, tested Isolite’s new Medium DV mouthpiece and provided Isolite with positive feedback.
"I believe Isolite has a winner with the Medium DV mouthpiece," Fasbinder said. "I have quite a few patients that fall between the medium and large sizes. When using the medium mouthpieces, the tongue would occasionally slip under the retractor. With the new Medium DV design, there’s enough extra retraction to address all these situations."

Douglas Schulz, DDS, of Corporate Lakes Dental in Overland Park, KS, added the Medium DV mouthpiece is an excellent addition to the other Isolite mouthpieces he’s currently using with his system.

"The Medium DV mouthpiece is a great revision on an already great product," Schulz said. "It provides better saliva control behind the mouthpiece, and better isolation. What’s even better about it is there’s no need to use additional cotton rolls in a patient’s mouth."
