Lares Fluoresce HD™ Coupler Dual Wavelength Technology

by Kyle King on January 28, 2020

Introduced by Lares Research now in Canada

It is the second wavelength fiber optic light output added to electric handpieces and air turbines, amplifying the visualization of dental caries and restorative materials.
With Lares patented dual-wavelength technology, dentists can seamlessly switch back and forth between bright light or UV light output with the press of a button.
With Fluoresce HD you know with certainty what needs to be removed and what should be kept intact. This significantly increases accuracy with reduced chair time and additional cost. The additional cost is cut down as there is no need for post-op x rays to monitor the precision of the work done.

Coupler Characteristics

First and Only coupler of its kind.
6 Hole
Kavo Type coupler
Easy to switch between UV and LED light just by the press of a button on the coupler
1 Year Warranty

Fluorescence Aided Caries Excavation (FACE) intends to help the dental practitioner with visual detection of carious dentin, enabling them to excavate it in a precise and minimally invasive manner.
Using innovative dual wavelengths, Fluoresce HD™ revolutionizes the way dental professionals excavate caries and existing restorative materials, switching from white light to dark blue UV light with the press of a button.

With high intensity( 405nm )light exposure from contra-angle handpiece or fiber optic turbines, it fluoresces different colors for caries, restorative material and healthy tooth which clearly demarcates the areas that should be removed and which should be kept intact.
With the removal of all the orange/red glowing decayed tissue using a handpiece, the preparation is complete and there is no need for additional probing, caries indicator dyes, camera images or x rays to confirm the complete removal of caries.

Studies based evidence shows the caries removal aided by 405nm UV light, more accurate at identifying remaining decay, reducing the risk of recurrent caries.

Healthy teeth glow green light
Caries glows red/orange ( because of porphyrins inside caries causing bacteria)
The composite glows yellow/white.

Lares has developed solutions for integrating Fluoresce HD can integrate with both air turbines and electric handpiece systems according to the dentist's individual instrument preference.

Air Turbines

Fluoresce HD fits all fiber optic air turbines with KaVo MULTIflex compatibility, by the addition of the Lares Dual Wavelength Fluoresce Swivel Coupler. Small and sleek with inadvertent switch depression shielding, swivel coupler allows the dentist to easily change back and forth from white to dark blue (405 nm UV) light as needed with the press of a button on the coupler. This aid the dentist in completely identification and removal of caries and old restorations with just a flick of a button

Electric Handpieces

Using the Lares Dual Wavelength Fluoresce ProStyle E Electric Handpiece Motor and Control Box, Fluoresce HD can be deployed in electric handpieces or any other standard connection electric contra-angle with fiber optics. This patented system features a wavelength selection switch on the control box enabling the dentist to smoothly switch back and forth from bright white to dark blue (405 nm UV) light as needed. It can be used with a high speed or a slow-speed handpiece.

Increased precision of dental restorative work & minimized removal of healthy tooth structure because of different colored fluorescent of caries, restorative material, and healthy tooth.
