We use the ICELight™ feature filled with 70% parallel glass bers for exceptional strength. It’s so flexible that it mimics dentin which
helps to distribute stress equally, lowering any chances of cervical or tooth root fractures. ICELight light-transmitting composite posts
are highly radiopaque and noncorrosive and offer aesthetic along with successful functional results.
Helping to ensure safe, efficient, and comfortable care
The Isolite® dental isolation system from ZyrisTM is designed with every aspect of treatment in mind to support the safe, comfortable, and efficient provision of care.
Tissue retraction, moisture control, illumination, and more
The Isolite mouthpiece serves as a bite block to keep the mouth comfortably open for the delivery of care. While gently propping the jaws open, the Isolite mouthpiece also retracts both the cheek and tongue to prevent them from getting in the way of treatment as well as getting inadvertently injured. In addition to these features, the Isolite mouthpiece contains a shield that protects the back of the throat from any dental debris that may be swallowed or aspirated. With the added benefits of dual channel suction and a built-in illumination to light up the operating field, the Isolite dental isolation system offers improved moisture control and optimum visibility throughout every procedure.
We really appreciate your patience with us!
