Dental Applications

Instrument Light

Pre-shaped rod
Modern dental instruments generally have a light source to illuminate the treatment area. A light guide is built into the instrument handpiece for this purpose. For these applications we supply precisely shaped fiber rods which exactly fit into the restricted space inside the handpiece. Although the fiber rods are produced from different glasses, they have excellent mechanical stability and resistance to breakage. The glasses used have high resistance to chemical attackts and are perfectly compatible with the high hygiene standards called for in dental surgery. The excellent transmission of the fiber rods remains at a consistently high level, even after being subjected to several thousand autoclave and dishwasher cycles.

Flexible components
Alternatively flexible light guides can be used in dental instruments. For this purpose SCHOTT has developed a type of fiber that also withstands the extreme conditions encountered in autoclaves.
