The Anthos Dental Unit is a chic and elegantly designed dental unit that aims to give patients maximum comfort while provding 360 degrees protection. Anthos takes into account aspects related to active hygiene and passive hygiene.

The Anthos Dental Unit:

• Uses materials ideal for dental unit cleaning and hygiene protocols
• Features systems which prevent, at source, the emergence of contamination problems
• Facilitates daily hygiene and safety procedures
• Ensures a modern system that complies with international standards

U.V. System

This is a high potential ultra-violet system. An ultra-violet lamp is positioned at the system water infeed to allow for the elimination of 99.99% of the microbial content originating in the system. This operation is used for water used for dynamic instruments and the cup.

O.D.R. Out Drop No-Retraction system

This is a system that prevents spray backs. Re-aspiration of fluids in the system outfeed is a source of contamination. Micro-organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi can then travel inside the dental unit water pipes and contaminate the entire machine. To avoid re-aspiration after use, the dental unit has a device that blocks re-aspiration, and emits an air jet in the opposite direction to eliminate the last drop when work session is finished.

Simplified Disinfection System and Simplied Hygiene System

Within the anthos dental unit design includes systems that disinfects and cleans the unit.

The A.H.S. Automatic Sanitasing System continously and automatically sanitasing system. The W.C.S. Water Cleaning System is a system that rinses the ducts. And the A.W.S. Automatic Wash Suction is a suction system's device that allows a rapid cycle to be carried out to clean and disinfect the suction tubes and canister.

Water Clean System

Water quality differs greatly from one place to another. To attempt to efficiently protect patients regardless country or region, Anthos has fitted disinfection systems for the water used in the patient's oral cavity. This avoid the involuntary transfer of infection to patients.

The Dabi Atlante Modern units are designed with a clean and harmonic look in mind. It has a lumbar lordosis position corrector used to reduce the patient stress level.

Its larger and involving backrest allows for a better comfort of the patient. The posterior backrest curvature facilitates the dentist approximation to the patient and avoids involuntarily contact between the patient and the professional.

The dental unit incorporates designs in maintaining clean hygiene. The chair has a single central articulation that facilitates cleaning and improves biosafety. It has seamless thermal-molded upholstery to facilitate cleaning and disinfection. Also, the removable cuspidor, manufactured in ceramic enamel, prevents residuals adherence thus making cleaning easier and better.

The Actus 5000 Dental Unit is from J. Morita Corporation, headquartered in Japan. The Actus dental unit contains priority circuits in their handpiece operation system to ensure that two handpieces do not work simultaneously for safety reasons. In addition, both chair and handpiece operations are also designed not to function simultaneously for saftey assurance.

On the area on hygiene, the unit's light head handles are detachable and autoclavable. The unit's lighting system is sensor-based, its lights are turned on and off automatically. The dental units's drain cut filter is designed on the outside of the spittoon unit for easy access in daily maintenance and cleaning.

Dental implants provide advantages over other conventional restorative dental works:

• Unlike conventional bridgework, dental implants can provide tooth replacement without the need to cut down adjacent teeth.
• Dental implants also prevent the loss of bone in the area of the missing tooth. Replacing the tooth with an implant restores function to the bone and prevents the resorption of the bone.
• Dental implants can also be used to anchor full or partial removable dentures. This provides much greater retention and security than traditional techniques.

3D Dental Imaging

3D CT Scans and pre-operative planning software are now also available that provides an increased level of confidence and an extra margin of safety for patients:

• viewing functionalities of axial, sagital and coronal images as well as cross-sections and panoramic images
• 3D visualization and simulattion of implant placement and bone augmentation procedures
• a constant tool for clear communication between all members
• Eliminates Surprises During Surgery by providing accurate and comprehensive information about the patient's anatomy
• enables flapless surgery whereby no incisions are made in the patient’s mouth
• provides comprehensive, non-distorted data describing your patient's bone quantity and quality

Promax Digital Tomography for 3D Implant Planning

The increasing use of osseo-integrated implants has created a wider demand for radiographic techniques in the pre-surgical and post-operative evaluation of the patient. Correct topographical information is required on the prospective site for planning the implant location. BIDC uses Planmeca ProMax digital x-rays that has effective tomography programs which meet these demands. Planmeca Promax combines several imaging modalities into one intelligent X-ray unit.

• Panoramic radiography for general diagnostics of the tooth arch and the jaw.
• Advanced panoramic radiography for specific diagnostics of the tooth arch, the jaw, maxillary sinuses and temporo-mandibular joints.
• Dental tomographic slices for detailed morphologic diagnostics of facial bones.
• Cephalometry for imaging of the skull

Planmeca ProMax offers four tomography systems: linear tomograpphy and true linear tomography for film tomography and digital linear tomography and Transtomography for digital systems.

Planmeca ProMax tomography system produces straight tomographic slices of any part of the maxilla,mandible or temporomandibular joints. The tomograms can be cross-sectional or longitudinal and are adjustable to any specific angle. Adjustable and uniform image thickness of 1, 3, 6, 9, 18, or 36 mm maximizes the diagnostic value and provides excellent details.

Innovative Surface for Faster Osseointegration Process

The new SLActive surfaces enables additional condifidence for one day implants, same day implants, immediate loaded implants as well as full mouth/arch implant cases cutting down the healing treatment requirements from 6-8 weeks to 3-4 weeks.

SLActive Dental Implants by ITI Struamann has a chemically active and hydrophilic surface that significantly promotes the initial healing reaction allowing for a faster osseointegration process and higher implant stability.

• Faster osseointegration
• Enhanced bone formation processes
• Higher implant stability during the early critical weeks of osseointegration (removal torque)
• Substantially increased protein adsorption

Reduction of Treatment Time

Material developments and techniques such as the titanum oxide layer on dental implant surfaces has now allows shorter treatment time. These new surface developments allows:

• Enhanced osseointegration for unmatched stablility
• Immediate Function for patients
• Ideal texture and porosity for bone apposition
• Enhanced environment for bone formation
• Soft Tissue integration for healthy connective/epithelial tissue and a natural looking gingiva
• Its structure most similar to human cancellous bone thus absorbs blood proteins, aids bone growth

LaserSmile System from Biolase Technology Inc . uses its proprietary LaserSmile gel, specially formulated to work effectively with the specific wavelength of the LaserSmileT diode laser, increasing the efficiency of the whitening process.

The process of using LaserSmile System dramatically shorter treatment time and avoids excess heat as well as sensitivity thus promoting patient comfort, safety and self-confidence.

Our clinics has four intraoral x-ray machines from BlueX, Dabi Atlante and Gendex available. The intraoral x-ray machines provide simple and fast slide x-rays that enables our dental specialists to make the proper diagnoses for our patients.

The beam limiting device of the BlueX intra-oral x-ray machine allows the reduction of a patient's exposure to radiation. Its microprocessor allows tooth type and patient size inputs to determine time values and control radiation dose reduction when using digital receptors.
