A-dec LED Dental Operatory Light is optically engineered specifically for dentists and the dental operatory. It reduces eyestrain and provides optimal ergonomics while ensuring ample illumination, clarity, and depth during treatment. It features multiple intensity levels, cure-safe mode, low cost of ownership, and intuitive ergonomics. The light reduces eye fatigue because of how its “stadium effect” mitigates shadows and maintains a uniform light pattern. Visit www.a-dec.com for more information.

Air Techniques Spectra™ uses fluorescence technology to enable reliable tooth-by-tooth detection of fissure caries and caries on smooth surfaces that are too small to be detected by an X-Ray. Special light intensity LEDs will project safe high-energy violet blue light onto the tooth surface, which stimulates the metabolites of cariogenic bacteria (called porphyrins) to appear red when viewed on a monitor, while healthy enamel will fluoresce green.
