TECHNOLOGY MADE SIMPLEX-ray images can be loaded via aUSB storage device for fast, easydisplay on the Full Touch panel.The USB port on the Full Touchpanel also lets dentists load orsave their personal dental unit usersettings.The exceptional comfort that can come from innovation is encapsulated perfectly in the new interface that lets dentists controldental unit functions with a simple touch. As standard on the S300, the Smart Touch instrument control panel is divided betweena touch-sensitive zone that allows user-friendly display and interaction with dental unit parameters and a more traditionalkeypad that controls patient chair movement and positioning. Alternatively, the latest-generation Full Touch control panel isavailable: this features a 5.7” glass capacitive-type touch screen that links the dentist to the on-board computer governingthe entire dental unit and all its integrated devices. On the Continental version an incorporated accelerometer allows thisinstrument to be flipped from the horizontal to the vertical and vice versa. Both control panels are available on Continentaland International models.8 9

FULL SCREEN PERFORMANCEA database of certified contraanglesis provided, as is a wideselection of generic ratios.Parameter control and datadisplay are optimised thanks tothe outstandingly user-friendlybrowsing system and graphics onthe new control panel.The instrument control panel canalso be used to control, in additionto work parameter settings,peristaltic pump operationand flow rate.In endodontics mode, the Full Touchsoftware sets combined torque/speed values according to theselected file by drawing on data inpreloaded library files.Brushless micromotor i-XS4Ultra-light and manageable, i-XS4provides a speed range from100 to 40,000 rpm and, with theappropriate contra-angle, can, whenused for implantology work, reachtorques of up to 70 Ncm.Peristaltic pumpThanks to incorporation of theperistaltic pump on the dentist’smodule, everything needed topractice implantology is comfortablywithin arm’s reach.With regard to the brushlessmicromotor and peristaltic pump,the same functions can also beaccessed via the Smart Touchdisplay.Controlling the dental unit, personalising settings, selecting and precision-adjusting instrument parameters via the new FullTouch instrument control panel is the simplest and fastest way to bring out the full potential of an integrated treatment centrethat lets you practice conservative dentistry, endodontics and surgery. Control and precision ensure each task is completedsafely and, in the case of surgery or implantology, the level of interaction provided by the software covers clinical parametersettings, peristaltic pump adjustment and other functions that smooth preparation of the implant site and actual placement.10 11

COMFORT: A PLEASURE WORTH SHARINGThe innovatively shaped patientchair allows medical staff to movein closer to the patient duringtreatment. The Trendelenburgposition is reached by way ofsynchronised movements and thereinforced structure allows patientsweighing up to 190 kg to be lifted.Both patient chair armrests aremade of painted die cast aluminiumwith surfaces in soft-touchmaterial; they can easily be rotatedforwards to facilitate patient access.T9 StoolThe starting point for yourwellbeing, the ergonomic T9stool provides a full complementof solutions designed to aidcorrect posture during treatment.Numerous adjustments ensurean optimal set-up for all dentists,whatever their build.The capacitive sensor, insertedinside the handle underneath theinstrument control panel, is used todeactivate the pneumatic brake andthen accurately lock the dentist’smodule in position.Whatever the situation, Stern Weber never forgets that comfort plays a constant, mutual role. The patient must feel atease while both dentist and assistant must be able to operate without physical stress or discomfort. Memory Foam paddingsupports patients correctly throughout the entire treatment session, resulting in enhanced comfort and relaxation.Where built on wellbeing, interpersonal relations reinforce patient trust and collaboration during treatment; that trusttranslates into better results and heightened patient involvement.16 17

ERGONOMICS, THE KEY TO YOUR WELLBEINGAtlaxisWith the simple press of abutton the dentist can releasethe pneumatic mechanism andposition the patient’s head, gentlyaccompanying its natural articularmovement. Since it has no levers ormechanical brakes, adjusting theheadrest vertically so it suits thepatient’s height is equally easy.Carefully balanced instrumentson the Continental version and theend-of-stroke lock system minimisetraction on the dentist’s wrist.The 3-holder assistant’s module,fitted on the vertically adjustablearticulated arm, can be positionedat a height that best suits medicalstaff.An optional add-on unit with 2instrument holders for camera andT-LED light is also available.Simple, precise motions, made possible by Stern Weber innovation. The second-generation Atlaxis headrest is one of thehallmark elements of a brand renowned for its attentiveness to the ergonomics of treatment and patient comfort.Constant research into sophisticated solutions is seen in every last detail: pantograph arm excursion is aided by twospecial bearings and vertical travel has been increased; the dentist’s module can be positioned precisely via the pneumaticbrake, released via a touch-activated sensor. Similarly, the assistant’s module also features several solutions, such as thearticulated arm to allow optimal instrument positioning.18 19

DESIGN PLUS PRACTICALITYAs an optional function, thebowl together with the chairautomatically rotate when recallingthe rinse and home positions.The independent feed tank isaccessed from the outside of theunit body to make its replacementor top-up easier.The side door provides easy accessto the systems inside the unit body.The new S300 line features a unit body designed to aid access to hygiene systems and make routine maintenance easier.Reduced overall dimensions also means more space around the patient and greater freedom of movement for medical staff.In its standby position, the cuspidor bowl contributes to overall unit body compactness by remaining outside the operatingzone, preventing any interference with the assistant’s workflow.The S300 combines the tangible advantages of industrial design with meticulous styling.20 21

CHOICES THAT MAKE EVERY DAY BETTERVenus Plus – L LED• Light intensityfrom 3,000 to 50,000 Lux• Colour temperature 5,000 K• Low-thermal emission LED lightsources• Silent running because thereis no forced ventilation• LEDs guaranteed to work 50,000hoursHermetically sealed front screen.This makes external cleaning easierand stops any dust or spray fluidgetting inside the dish.Available in both Continentaland International versions, theadditional sixth instrument unit isfitted on the dentist’s module sideand can house a camera or curinglight.SyringeAvailable with 2 ergonomicsolutions, straight or angled tip; the6-function syringe can be suppliedwith or without optic fibres.Visual comfort essentially depends on two aspects of light: its brightness and quality. That’s why Stern Weber offers a choiceof two operating lights with different technologies: halogen or LED lighting. On both systems ergonomic aspects regardingoptical performance and positioning of the light, which can be moved on three axes, are honed to perfection.A broad illuminated spot and homogeneous light distribution play a key role in preventing situations that can lead to severeeye strain. While brightness on the Venus Plus is adjusted via a manual potentiometer, on the optional dual-reflector LEDoperating light it is regulated by a no-touch infrared sensor.22 23

FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATION, SECURE CONTROLPower Pedal Foot ControlAvailable in wireless versionspowered by lithium batteries,multi-function and pressure-Multi-function Foot Controloperated foot controls can alsobe cable-connected to the dentalPressure-operated Foot Controlunit for either control orrecharging purposes.T-LEDUsable in either a straight or angledposition thanks to 180° rotationaround the central pivot, the patentedT-LED curing light is perfect forpolymerisation and bonding tasks.Each of the 6 programmes has beenfine-tuned to prevent the phenomenaof compound shrinkage (anomaloushardening and volume loss).Control of dental unit and individual instruments needs to be smooth and instinctive. Stern Weber has developed foot controlswith three different ergonomic solutions, two of which are available in a wireless configuration to maximise freedom ofmovement during treatment. In addition to the improved hand hygiene that comes from transferring functions to the footcontrol, Stern Weber foot controls offer numerous dental unit system management possibilities: these sophisticated unitsallow the dentist to control patient chair movement, the Chip Air and Chip Water functions and, with the instrument extracted,invert micromotor rotation or switch on the operating light. Moreover, in surgery mode the peristaltic pump can be openedand closed.24 25

Show and explainThanks to an integrated system of multimedia and X-ray diagnosis devices, the Stern Weber integratedtreatment centre becomes the hub of the dentist’s workflow, letting him express his hard-won skills in fulland heighten the patient’s confidence and trust.The convenience of a system that is managed via incorporated controls and software and installed directlyon the dental unit means shortened diagnostic times, faster results, readily-available data and enhancedtreatment effectiveness.AN INTEGRATED VISION OF DIAGNOSTICS

CRYSTAL CLEAR COMMUNICATIONC-U2Can be used without any needfor manual adjustment thanks tothe micro-processor inside thehandpiece. Vibration-free freezeframe images can be acquiredvia the foot control or the touchsensitivearea on the handpiece.C-U2 PROPRO optics provides images viathree different focal adjustments:Macro, Intra-oral and Extra-oral.Excellent sharpness is ensured byProgressive Scan technology.19” LED MonitorCertified as per CE 93/42, the 16:9flat screen tilt-adjustable monitorcan be cable-connected to a PC.For the touch-screen version theoptional dual-articulation supportarm is recommended to optimisescreen positioning.A multimedia system incorporated directly on the dental unit allows simple, immediate communication. Illustrating theoutcome of an examination helps the patient understand the need to proceed with treatment; seeing the final results is asource of patient satisfaction and trust.The best way to engage in effective communication, with the patient still on the chair, is via the monitor: the large flat LEDscreen provides pin-sharp images with outstanding levels of contrast and brightness. On the touch-screen version, themonitor can also be used to manage images acquired via the incorporated camera or, in the case of X-ray, via the digitalsensor.28 29

Built to last andfeaturing rounded edges, the sensorcan be positioned in the patient’smouth easily and comfortably.Simple to remove, it can betransferred onto other devicecompatiblemachines.RXDC HyperSphereDesigned for digital X-ray imaging,the RXDC features a focal spot ofjust 0.4 mm which, together withthe X-ray beam parallelism thatstems from 30 cm collimation,ensures images of outstandingquality.HyperSphere TechnologyGentle pressure on touch-sensitiveareas on the front section releasesthe electromechanical tube headlock. The X-ray unit is then free torotate around a ball joint, allowingeasy repositioning: to lock thetube head in its new position allthe dentist has to do is release thetouch-sensitive areas.The handheld wireless controldevice features 4 keys to adjustexposure and another key to takethe X-ray. The RXDC automaticallycalculates the correct exposure onthe basis of the selected anatomicarea.Consisting of a DC X-ray unit with wireless control and a digital sensor housed on the dentist’s module, this comprehensiveintegrated system eliminates all the inconveniences associated with separate installation of diagnostic equipment.The multimedia monitor displays the outcome of X-ray examinations and, where there is a cable connection with an externalPC, allows direct data control.This solution combines the latest generation of cutting-edge diagnostic tools with the practicality of having a complete systemon board the dental unit.30 31

Defending hygiene: a choice, not just a dutyNo-one can deny the importance of hygiene. That’s why Stern Weber has developed an extensive array ofadvanced systems that allow treatment to be performed in complete safety, ensuring peace of mind for patients,staff and, of course, you. Furthermore, when designing the dental unit, Stern Weber focussed on minimisingthe risks of cross-contamination by incorporating removable parts that are easily sanitised and by transferringa series of essential commands to the foot control unit.In every detail, right down to the choice of materials for each component, the S300 offers a comprehensiverange of sophisticated devices that provide the appropriate degree of protection.PERFECTION LIES IN THE DETAILS

ACTIVE SYSTEMS FOR ENHANCED DEFENCEW.H.E. (Water Hygienisation Equipment)Thanks to utilisation of Peroxy Ag+, the continuous disinfection system, which features mainswater-dental unit air gap separation, guarantees the microbiological quality of the water in thewater circuits. The system complies with European standards and is DVGW-certified.Peroxy Ag+At the concentration recommended by Stern Weber, this hydrogen peroxide and silver ion-baseddisinfectant is effective against all species of water-borne contaminant, including bacteria suchas Legionella, against which 10 minutes’ contact will suffice.Automatic Chip AirThis system, featured as standard,automatically emits an air jet whenyou stop using dynamic instrumentsso as to clean any residual liquidsor solids from the handpiece.SANASPRAYDistilled water can be used bybypassing the mains water.To carry out rapid circuitsanitisation a second tank isavailable. Given its tried and testedeffectiveness, the use of Peroxy Ag+disinfectant is recommended.A.C.V.S.Automatic system that carries outsuction system sanitisation cyclesbetween one patient and another.The double suction filters fit flushwith the unit body. Extensivefiltration surface area reducesemptying frequency. Automatic andindependent selection of cannulaeis available.Stern Weber’s continuous research into integrated hygiene systems has demonstrated the effectiveness of combining specificdisinfection systems such as W.H.E. and BIOSTER. On the one hand, the application of a continuous disinfection systemcombined with air gap separation provides constant defence thanks to the bacteriostatic effect of Peroxy Ag+; on the other,the automatic BIOSTER device carries out the customary end-of-work disinfection tasks, executing programmable cycles totreat the spray water circuit. The I.W.F.C. device, incorporated in the BIOSTER system or available separately, ensures watercircuits are kept clean after a period of machine idleness.The effectiveness of Stern Weber-developed systems has been documented in several scientific treatises published in thespecialised press.Orrù et al. - Evaluation of Antimicrobial - Antibiofilm Activity of a Hydrogen Peroxide Decontaminating System used in Dental Unit Water Lines- The Open Dentistry Journal, 2010; 4: 140-146Orrù et al. - Valutazione dell’attività antimicrobica di un sistema decontaminante a base di perossido d’idrogeno.
