Medical Equipments :
ZOOM 3 teeth whitening device
The Zoom device technology works by stimulating the whitening substance that is placed on the teeth, which consists mainly of hydrogen peroxide gel (gel). When this compound is disintegrated through chemical reactions and stimulation from the flash technology, the oxygen element penetrates into the depths of the microscopic pores in the enamel layer, and it whitens the colored materials. located inside the pores of the teeth, and thus the whitening process is completed without prejudice to the installation of the parts of the teeth.
Light Cure optical filling device
A device that hardens optical fillings using ultraviolet rays.
Amalgmotor mixing device
This device vibrates at a high speed, which leads to the mixing of the permanent filling material.
X-ray machine
It emits x-rays that penetrate the teeth and bones to be captured through the digital x-ray film of modern digital devices, and the image of the teeth and their surroundings appears after processing on the computer screen.
X-ray:
It develops the rays automatically by placing the film in the place designated for it in the device in less than a minute.
Retary device
He digs the tooth, cleans and expands the canals (cleansing the nerve pulp from the inflamed tissues using small files of different sizes and shapes).
