Have You Seen What’s New from ACCLEAN?

ACCLEAN by Henry Schein offers high-quality equipment and preventive products designed to make hygienists' jobs easier. Featuring a color-coded, 3-stage system that covers every stage of preventive care—Clean & Polish, Treat & Protect, and Home Care—ACCLEAN products span from ergonomic hand instruments and prophy angles to sealants, toothpaste, hygiene handpieces, and ultrasonic scalers. Here, we take a closer look at the newest ACCLEAN family members.

ACCLEAN Diagnostic Instruments.

Developed in collaboration with hygienists, ACCLEAN Diagnostic Instruments have a textured surface and optimized grip to provide enhanced control and precision during diagnostics, while also improving tactile sensitivity and reducing hand fatigue. Tips are precision-formed and hand-sharpened for optimal efficiency.

The stainless-steel construction provides long-lasting performance, while replaceable frontsurface mirrors with a scratch-resistant coating offer clear viewing of obscured areas. An explorer, probes, expros, and mirrors are available in single-and double-ended options, with the probes featuring precisely etched markings for accurate diagnosis.

ACCLEAN Curettes and Scalers.

Featuring a lightweight construction and an ergonomic design, these double-end, stainless-steel instruments minimize hand fatigue. The handle etch design helps keep the user’s hand in place, while grip rings prevent the instrument from slipping.

"I like the handle design, lightness and balance, and the tactile touch was perfect," said Donna Shewbert, RDH. The instruments, which also were designed in collaboration with hygienists, maintain a long-lasting, sharp edge. The uncoated design makes it possible to resharpen the durable instruments for prolonged use. Sharper instruments allow for more efficient treatment, benefiting both clinicians and patients.

"The instruments made scaling and removal of tenacious calculus easier," said Lisa Juliana, PHDHP, RDH. “They feel comfortable to use, and the handle size, weight, and pattern don’t cause fatigue,” noted hygienist Lynell Ciranna. "The long and sturdy cutting edge of the Younger Good 7/8 curette allows for good adaptation to tooth surfaces."

ACCLEAN Disposable Prophy Angles.

These user-friendly prophy angles feature ergonomic and design enhancements to improve clinical outcomes. ACCLEAN Disposable Prophy Angles come in color-coded body and cup types for easy identification and organization, and the grip is designed for overall control and tactile sensitivity.

"The prophy angles have the perfect amount of flex and power, " said Amber Metro-Sanchez, RDH. “I was very impressed with its overall quality and am pleased to be able to offer my practice a high-quality prophy angle at a lower cost.”

Kim Williams, RDH, added, "The cup design helped to reduce splatter, and there was smooth spin with no vibration." The prophy cups with outer ridges effectively remove tough interproximal stains, and because they adapt so well to interproximal areas, hand scaling takes less time.

“In the long run, reduced scaling time lends itself to reduced hand fatigue, better ergonomics, better clinical outcomes, and more time to educate patients," explained Donna Grzegorek, RDH.

ACCLEAN Toothpaste.

Formulated to provide protection against cavities, this prescription-strength anti-cavity toothpaste contains 1.1% neutral sodium fluoride at 5,000 ppm and is indicated for patients with root caries, xerostomia-induced caries, and high-to-extreme caries risk. For patients with dental sensitivity, ACCLEAN offers a specialized formula with 5% potassium nitrate

ACCLEAN Piezo Ultrasonic Scaler.

This scaler is designed to provide comfortable, easy, and efficient scaling. With its cruise control mode, the scaler offers continual operation without the need to hold down a foot pedal. Its 360° foot pedal activation features a low profile with a nonslip base. The scaler also has an easy-to-read LED power indicator and smart touchscreen control.

To ensure optimal cleaning, the scaler’s real-time monitoring adjusts vibration frequency for each tip. It is also easy to connect and disconnect the scaler to the office's water supply.

ACCLEAN Hands-Free HVE.

This high-volume evacuation system’s coupler makes it easy to integrate with existing HVE systems, allowing for fast, efficient use. The quick disconnect adapter connects to existing dental unit hardware to ensure the hose stays upright. The leaf-shaped mouthpiece, which features a soft, custom-blend polymer, keeps patients comfortable, while the U-shaped connector allows for hands-free efficiency.

“The ACCLEAN Hands-Free HVE is probably the best hands-free device that I have used so far!” said Heather Locker, RDH. “It is very easy to place in the patient’s mouth and my patients have told me that it is very comfortable during use.”

With this system, clinicians have a full view of the oral cavity without needing to make adjustments, enhancing efficiency. The ACCLEAN HVE system also features a patented design that offers 280° of suction while reducing aerosols.

“Good evacuation is essential because it’s a key component of proper infection control and optimal clinical practice,” Locker said. “It also improves visibility and access to the treatment area, resulting in a more thorough cleaning and improved patient comfort.”
