I Use That: OmniOptic

The benefits of a new OmniOptic loupe from Orascoptic.

The benefit of a dental magnifier is that it enhances the details of the patient's mouth while also working to improve the overall ergonomics of the practitioner. Unfortunately, high magnification loupes are generally too heavy and bulky for weight-sensitive users on the bridge.

That's why Ernest Orphanos, a periodontist in Boca Raton, Fla., Likes Orascoptic's new OmniOptic Magnifier.

Prior to experimenting with prototypes of the OmniOptic magnifier, Dr. Orphanos had used pairs in his practice: the operator's several lens loupes, which provided him with various magnifications without adding weight and working in a clamshell laboratory .

"With the introduction of dental supplies magnifiers in the market by other manufacturers, I find it necessary to try it," Dr. Orphanos said. "I found they were too heavy for a long time to execute, and the adjustable loupe on the market was a bit heavy for me."

When Dr. Orphanos mentioned that he had bought a new set of magnifying glass on the market, his Orascoptic representative told him a new, replaceable loupe that was lighter and provided Dr. Orphanos with a chance to demonstrate them.

First impression

He said lenses that support interchangeable magnifications of 2.5x, 3.5x, 4.5x and 5.5x are easy to change in a magnifying glass.

"I believe they are magnetically fixed," Dr. Orphanos said. "If I needed a higher magnification, it was basically just a matter of letting myself or one of my assistants gently pull down the lenses and slide them in to different loupes, which for me was a real game changer Game. In some cases, you may want to investigate further at a higher magnification, and instead of placing a different magnifying glass or a heavy magnifying glass with multiple magnifications, it is nice and very light here And very easy to change the magnification. "

They also benefit Dr. Orphanos's aging population.

"There are six steps to magnifying the microscope in our practice," Dr. Orphanos said. "I treat the elderly, not all patients can lie far - they do not fly so sometimes microscopy is ineffective in the treatment of these patients Another problem is the magnification jump from one step to another too So using a microscope almost double the size because the jumps are too violent and the magnifications are higher - 12x, 15x and 19x - almost seldom, and these slight magnifications from 2.5 to 5.5 are for me It's a very helpful clinician. "

Dr. Orphanos uses the Orascoptic Endeavor XL headlights with these magnifiers. "It's small, lightweight and does not create additional stress," he said.

The final impression

As for any changes he wants to see, Dr. Orphanos does not.

"I wear them for a month and I have no problem with them," he said. "I can not figure out how to improve them, they are very light and easy to use, the quality of the lens is very good and the aperture is much wider than my other magnifiers."

This is a lot of talk, coming from a person with periodontitis who used to rely on the magnifying glass to keep a variety of magnifying glass. Now, he said he can not imagine returning anything else.

"They exceeded my expectations," he said. "At first I was skeptical, and I thought maybe there would be too much donation and too much play, and the actual lenses would slide in and magnetically lock these sleeves, but that's not the case, and these are more generic and if I want to make the patient I have a 2.5x magnification, but if I want to investigate something suspicious at the patient's mouth, then I have no problem, just remove the 2.5x magnifying glass , And in a matter of seconds will be a higher magnification for further investigation when I do a microsurgery soft tissue transplantation, if it is on the sextant, and I want to perform some wonderful microsurgery,

Dental equipment advice to the dentist

"I do not know what they want to retail, but dentists will not buy them is stupid," he said. "Not all clinical procedures require the same magnification.Some operations require larger depth of field, such as ivory dentistry or dentistry, and some require higher magnification.This allows dentists to treat patients very efficiently, The flexibility is available. "

When asked if he had any form or feature of OmniOptic Magnifier he wanted to add, he just said,

"These are magnificent magnifying glasss.If you have tried these, you will never again use another magnifying glass.It is this.The person who made this design is brilliant.
