Directa launches the new DryDent® line of products, the first saliva absorbers featuring both optimal moisture control AND great comfort.
A dry oral environment is extremely important for a variety of treatments like impression taking, cementation, orthodontic and filling procedures etc. Using the new super absorbent DryDent® Parotid and DryDent® Sublingual together with ordinary saliva ejectors significantly improves moisture control procedures and secures high quality dentistry.
DryDent® Parotid is a saliva absorbent placed directly against the parotid saliva glands where the ducts open. Saliva is optimally absorbed giving the best possibilities for a successful treatment.
DryDent® Parotid contains no binders and has very soft edges that cause no harm to the oral mucosa. Patients report a feeling of a silky smooth surface. On the lingual side, the saliva absorber protects the operation field from moisture. This double function is a result of the new super absorbent material and the unique foam production method.
Dry Dent® Parotid keeps its shape facilitating an open operation field throughout a longer time.
Many ducts from the salivary glands open sublingually, resulting in a difficult moisture situation. To facilitate sublingual moisture control Directa designed DryDent® Sublingual, a totally new and unique product, the first absorbent pad designed for optimal and comfortable collection of all saliva produced by the sublingual glands as well as the submandibular glands.
DryDent® Sublingual does not only perform the perfect saliva control, it also improves comfort for the patient. A saliva ejector placed above this saliva absorber minimizes pain, noise and has a soothing effect due to reduced swallowing reflexes.
DryDent® Sublingual is very appreciated by patients and kind to the oral mucosa. The absorbent material is weaved through a new method that gives a feeling of a silky smooth surface. 75% of the dental teams interviewed in Västra Götaland region, Sweden answered ”yes” to the question whether a DryDent® Sublingual placed under the saliva ejector simplifies their work.
