Isolation and Retraction That Bring Efficiency to Light
The Zyris Isolite dental isolation system promotes a more efficient practice workflow, increased productivity, isolation
Scene 1: (A typical morning in a hectic dental practice) Dr. “A” and his dental assistant are halfway through a caries removal of 2 large Class Vs on teeth Nos. 11 and 22 when suddenly the assistant is alerted that she’s urgently needed in another exam room. The assistant has no choice but to abruptly leave Dr. A and the patient to attend to the emergency unfolding in the next room.
Scene 2: (Dr. A is now working alone) Dr. A continues the restoration but now must also tend to the isolation issues originally managed by his dental assistant, including illumination, continuous saliva evacuation, tongue retraction, and protecting the patient’s airway from debris.
What began as an efficient appointment will become a juggling act, as Dr. A divides his attention between a multi-step procedure and isolation concerns. Stephen Dao, DDS, of Coronado Family Dental, remembers similar scenes when he used traditional yet inconvenient bite blocks and cotton rolls for isolation. What he remembers most is the stress of maintaining a dry field, a concern that has now disappeared thanks to the Zyris Isolite dental isolation system.
“We can’t live without it!” Dr. Dao shared. “In our office, we use the Zyris Isolite system for crowns, fillings, pediatrics, sealants, and especially anything that requires bonding.”
Named a DPS Best Product, the Zyris Isolite dental isolation system is an all-in-one solution for isolation, illumination, and retraction that provides hands-free continuous suction. Patients benefit from a built-in bite block and disposable mouthpiece made from material that's softer than gum tissue.
Hands-Free, Stress-Free Isolation
The airway, cheek, and tongue protection provided by the Zyris Isolite system allows doctors and assistants to work safely and independently—promoting practice efficiency especially during staffing challenges. “If we are behind in the sterilization room, my assistant can catch up while I continue to work on the patient by myself," Dr. Dao said.
“The most important thing is patient safety and a better clinical result,” he added. “My patients can wear it for the entire procedure and it removes saliva and water instead of making them feel like they’re drowning. I’ll never cut off a crown and replace it without the Zyris Isolite system—never! As a dentist, I am more at ease knowing the work I’m doing is better, and this system does a great job of making a small team more efficient.”
