New Dürr Dental camera for intraoral and fluorescence images

 

The latest generation of the VistaCam iX intraoral camera is not only characterised by its functions; in addition, it meets all requirements pertaining to ergonomics. The camera has already won the renowned "iF product design award 2011" and is "red dot design award winner 2011". Dürr Dental has combined successful tried-and-tested components to create its new camera. The VistaCam product range epitomises efficient communication and diagnostic support. The VistaCam iX meets the highest requirements for fully digital image transmission with regard to depth of field and image quality. The circular, well-considered arrangement of the LEDs ensures optimum and homogenous illumination. Previously, the early detection of tooth decay and the visualization of plaque were realised using the VistaProof fluorescence camera.

Now, the new VistaCam iX enables both intraoral camera images and fluorescence images. The operator can quickly obtain an overview of the current state of the patient's teeth. The Dürr Dental DBSWIN software enables the accurate localisation and activity of caries on the screen. The new product version also allows video clips to be recorded, thus documenting the current situation of the patient. The VistaCam iX has a 360° all-round capture ring which enables the best possible use of the Still/Live and Save functions in all possible imaging situations. The Sensitive Control function conveniently sends confirmation signals to the handpiece. A movement sensor enables the automatic activation and deactivation of the camera. Moreover, it can be used in practically all types of surgery, even without a PC (stand-alone version). The disconnector on the handpiece means that the VistaCam iX is ideally suited for surgeries with multiple treatment stations. contact: heiner.k@duerr.de  Details at: http://www.duerr.de

Study Warns of Killer Bugs in Dentures

    A new study has warned that dentures, despite its clean look, could be teeming with killer bugs like MRSA.

      Researchers have advised that putting infected false teeth in a microwave oven for three minutes makes them safe. Dentures are known to get covered with thin layers of bacteria called biofilms, which can lurk until they are breathed into the lungs.
     Nearly 20 million people in the U.S. wear full or partial dentures often infected with MRSA or drug-resistant staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The team of scientists from Brazil who carried out the research also suggested soaking them in a germicidal mouthwash solution of two per cent chlorhexidine gluconate for 10 minutes, the Daily Mail reported.

    Either method is sufficient to disinfect dentures coated with the toughest MRSA biofilms for up to a week, according to the study led by Karen Tereza Altieri, a dentist at the Araraquara Dental School at the Universidade Estadual Paulista in Sao Paulo.

"To our knowledge, we are the first investigators to report the effectiveness of this method in killing MRSA," she said.

      Leaving dentures in a glass overnight may not be enough to keep them clean, scientists say. Microwaving them for three minutes would be better, a study found. MRSA, full name Meticillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, is a bacteria resistant to some antibiotics and usually found on false teeth, scientists said.

"We do know there are links between the bacteria in the mouth and systemic effects throughout the body," San Antonio dentist, who specializes in the repair and replacement of teeth, Victoria Vickers said.

The study has been published in the Journal of the American Dental Association.
