CARL ZEISS MEDITEC AG Enhanced visualization in the OR has led to major changes in surgical practice over recent decades, resulting in enormous improvements in both the quality of treatment and patient outcomes. In dentistry, unlike other disciplines such as neurosurgery, the use of surgical microscopes is not yet standard practice. In the past 15 years, however, more and more dentists have been making use of the benefits offered by innovative visualization solutions from ZEISS for endodontics, restorative dentistry, implantology and periodontics. At the 36th IDS ZEISS is presenting its further expanded product portfolio for high-precision dentistry.
Clarity for patient consultations and scientific lectures
Digital visualization in high-resolution quality is now also possible with the S7 / OPMI PROergo surgical microscope with motorized zoom and focus from ZEISS. Dentists can adopt a comfortable, relaxed posture during examination, therefore helping to prevent neck and back problems. Thanks to ZEISS optics, the digital 1Chip HD Camera¹ generates razor-sharp, high-contrast overview images of the oral cavity and detailed images of root canals in leading-edge, high-resolution quality. The system can be easily integrated into the practice workflow: dentists can save videos and still images on a USB storage device or network storage system at the push of a button on the system's handgrip and then use them during patient consultations. The digital recordings of the optical images and videos produced by the OPMI PROergo are extremely beneficial for documentation purposes in the training of young dentists and at scientific congresses.
Daylight quality illumination with Medical Loupes from ZEISS
ZEISS already introduced EyeMag Light II², a new generation of medical loupe illumination, in 2014. The high wearing comfort of ZEISS medical loupes in combination with the high-performance LED illumination in daylight quality permits precise detail recognition and high-contrast, almost shadow-free images. The battery life also suffices for long working days.
Practical support: Where can microscopy be beneficial in dentistry?
To provide all dentists with practical insights into the use of microscopy in everyday dentistry, ZEISS has asked international dentists about the experience they have gained. In the book titled "Microscopic Dentistry: A Practical Guide" the specialists describe step by step how they benefit from the use of a surgical microscope. Examples are included from endodontics, implantology, periodontics, restorative dentistry and prosthetics. A description is also given of how modern surgical microscopes with integrated cameras can support documentation and practice management. The publication is available as a free download at www.zeiss.com/dental-book . "Not all my colleagues are fully aware of the benefits offered by dental microscopy," says dentist Dr. Joachim Hoffmann, who has been using a surgical microscope from ZEISS in his practice since 1999. "It's time this changed. The publication is an excellent step in this direction."
Dr. Ludwin Monz, President and CEO of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, says: "On the basis of our many decades of experience in surgical microscopy we also wish to continuously evolve and enhance dentistry.
1The 1Chip HD Camera is not yet CE-certified and will not be available until the certification is completed.
