New Technology Protecting You

The OCTOdent oral aerosol suction and scavenger is designed specifically to remove and filter viruses, bacteria, potentially toxic vapors and microbiological contaminants away from the immediate area of the dentist, assistant and patient.

Our scavengers clean the operatory air when performing ultrasonic scaling, high speed drilling and certain other procedures where an oral aerosol vacuum system is recommended or required. OCTOdent is a mobile, stand alone, hands free air cleaning device with a flexible source suction duct designed to capture and filter toxic odors, vapors and particulates away from the breathing area for a safer breathing environment. The unit is extremely portable and quiet while in use.

Scientific studies on amalgam removal have suggested that dentist, staff and their patients can be exposed to higher than normal levels of potentially harmful viruses, bacteria, mercury vapor and other contaminants. Placement and removal of amalgam fillings are common dental procedures that are not always performed safely. Our system offers immediate chair-side defense providing a safe worry free environment for your dental office.

CONTAMINANTS AND PARTICULATE:

• Bacteria, Fungi, Prions and Viruses like COVID-19 from High-Speed Drilling or Ultrasonic Scaling
• Mercury Vapors from Amalgam Removal
• BPA particulate from composites
• Noxious Chemical Disinfectant Odors & VOC Gases
• Smoke Plume during Dental Laser and Electrosurge Procedures
• Air Abrasion and Microetching Dust
