Initial Insights
I like the lid design. Wipes that become stuck are easily removed.
They have a nice clean odor, no chemical smell.
Not at all flimsy. They feel thick and sturdy.
These are my favorite wipes! I think the honeycomb pattern helps grab debris.

Available in shades of orange, green, pink, sea-foam, blue, and purple.
Not runny and stays in place
Available in six vibrant colors!
Initial Insights
The fact that it is easy to rinse is nice because I am not worried that my assistant has to use the water and air combined to “blast” it off the tooth just to rinse it all off, and ultimately getting some in patient’s mouth.
Adds a little fun and would definitely prevent mistakes! Our zirconia cleaner looks exactly like our phosphoric acid and this material would prevent mix-ups when grabbing things quickly.
The viscosity is great for selective etching. Wherever we placed it, it stayed and was not runny.
Could be useful in a pediatric practice. Children can participate in their own treatment by choosing a color.

Provides continuous, hands-free suction to reduce aerosols. Allows procedures to perform faster and provides safety with airway protection and soft-tissue retraction. This is a complete system that includes an HVE adapter, allowing it to be permanently attached to your unit.
The Isolite® Anterior Mouthpieces currently are available in medium and large sizes.
Initial Insights
The mouthpiece was quite flexible, which made it easy to insert.
There was no light on this Isolite.
They thought of a way to get all the tissues out of the way, even the tongue.
The patient thought it was fairly comfortable, but also felt very stretched out.
I liked that they included the “Y” adapter so I did not have to incorporate an entirely separate HVE line. It made installation much more convenient.
