Teeth Whitening
With the Apollo 95E
or Apollo Elite and the Forever White In-Office Whitening System,
dentists can provide patient a convenient, affordable and safe
procedure that can be completed in less than an hour. Patients will
get immediate results in one visit, though results will vary from
patient to patient due to varying factors that have caused the
discoloration being treated. Generally, yellow/brown discolorations
are more easily whitened than gray/black discolorations, though with
multiple visits, virtually all types of discolorations can be
significantly whitened.
Apollo Plasma Technology
Plasma is undoubtedly
the most fascinating and promising technological discovery during
the last decade. Plasma is the 4th state of matter and is in fact
as old as the universe itself. Plasma is the source of sun's
energy. However, it was not until recently that scientists were
able to find a practical use for it.
The Apollo 95E uses a
high frequency electrical field to generates its plasma energy. The
matter is thus transformed into mixture of ions, electron, and
molecules. The large amount of energy released during the process
is ideal for curing the photosensitive polymer composites.
The Apollo reduces
the annoying wait for the patient and the dentist from 30 to 40
seconds to barely a few seconds. Some composites cure completely in
1 second. This is due to the plasma's high energy intensity. The
Apollo enables the average dental practice to save about 10 hours
per month: 10 hours of annoying waiting.
With the total
absence of UV light and less than 3% infrared, the plasma light is
extremely safe for the pulp and is made even more so by the short
exposure time, which is electrically controlled to eliminate any
risk of error. This short exposure time also indirectly enhances
the quality of the restoration; the risk of contamination decreases
dramatically. Unlike halogen lamps. the Apollo plasma lamp is not
subject to aging; the energetic intensity remains constant during
the entire life of the lamp. |
