Fluoresce HD

“I love the Fluoresce HD coupler! There are not many simple devices that you can buy for your office that can make you more efficient, more confident in treatment, and increase reliability in outcomes. This UV emitting coupler does all of that, and puts out bright and clear white light with the push of a switch!”

What Is Fluoresce HD?

Lares Research has added a second wavelength (dark blue, UV, 405 nm) fiber optic light output to air turbines and electric handpieces to dramatically enhance the visualization of caries and restorative materials. Dentists can quickly and easily switch back and forth between bright white or UV light output with Lares patented dual wavelength switching technology.

During caries removal, the UV light causes porphyrins inside caries bacteria to fluoresce orange/red and healthy tooth light green, providing the dentist a vivid spacial map of the caries.
With an air turbine or electric handpiece, the dentist removes only orange/red caries, minimizing the removal of healthy tooth (minimally invasive), maximizing tooth strength, and reducing risk of tooth breakage.
When all orange/red decayed tissue is removed, the preparation is complete. No probing, caries indicator dye, camera images, etc., are necessary to confirm all caries are removed, saving substantial chair time (single instrument preparation).
The UV light also causes restorative materials such as resins, cements, etc. to appear a different color compared to healthy tooth structure, enabling dentists to easily see the margin between healthy tooth structure and common restorative materials. This further minimizes the removal of healthy tooth and saves significant chair time.
Studies show that caries removal aided by 405 nm UV light is more accurate at identifying remaining decay than alternative methods, minimizing the risk of recurring caries.

Putting Fluoresce HD To Work In Your Practice

Lares has developed solutions for integrating Fluoresce HD into both air turbines and electric handpiece systems based on individual dentist instrument preference.

Air Turbines

Fluoresce HD can be deployed in any fiber optic air turbine with Kavo* MultiFLEX* swivel connection by the addition of the Lares Dual Wavelength Fluoresce Swivel Coupler. This patented coupler allows the dentist to easily change back and forth from white to dark blue (405 nm UV) light as needed with the flip of a switch on the coupler.

Electric Handpieces

Fluoresce HD can be deployed in electric handpieces using the Lares Dual Wavelength Fluoresce ProStyle E Electric Handpiece Motor and Control Box, and any standard connection electric contra angle with fiber optics. This patent pending system features a wavelength selection switch on the control box that allows the dentist to easily change back and forth from white to dark blue (405 nm UV) light as needed.
