Small Deep Vestibule (DV) Isolite Mouthpiece
Isolite’s new small deep vestibule (DV) mouthpiece is an excellent addition to the 5 sizes they already offer (pedo, small, medium, medium DV, and large). I’ve been using the small DV mouthpiece for the last few months and love it! I highly recommend it. The small DV size works well with small adults, teenagers, and kids with deep vestibules. The young adult shown in the video and photos has a very small mouth. The medium sizes would not fit in her mouth and the standard small would have been too small. The small DV size keeps her tongue at bay and wraps around her second molars very well.

Hi, do you use Isolite Systems to remove wisdoms teeth ?
Thanks
Hi Alex. I’m a hygienist, so I don’t do extractions, but I’m sure it is done. Here is a video of someone extracting a molar (not 3rd molar) with the Isolite in place.
hi konarocky-
are you familiar with this product: http://www.osspray.com/products/sylc/usage.aspx ?
do you think it would be appropriate to use in the air polisher that you recommend from ebay?
thanks-
matt
Hi Matt,
I am familiar with Sylc powder, but I have never used it. It should work with the eBay air polisher, but I don’t know for sure. I will be testing it at some point. It’s on my long list of products to review : ).

Hello Mark, which sizes do you use most often from Isolite? I`m considering starting with the system.
Thanks!
Michael (dentist, germany – I found you on Mike Barr`s blog (The Dental Warrior ), whom I once visited in Florida after knowing him several years from Compuserve)
Hi Michael,
For adults (and kids with 12 year molars) it’s about 5% small DV, 80% medium DV, 10% medium, 5% large. For kids with only 6 year molars it’s a split between small and small DV. For kids with only primary molars I use pedo.
It’s a small world. I was stationed in Germany from 1992 to 1996 (Ramstein Air Base).
Mark, thanks. Now I only have to convince Isolite, that they should deliver to germany… Do you deliver your Kona-adapter to germany? Usually I buy from http://www.henryschein.com/ if I need something from the USA, but Isolite isn`t in their catalog.
Hi Michael. I will ship to Germany. Isolite only sells direct and not through the catalogs. Isolite will not ship their systems to Germany, but they will ship the mouthpieces if you own one of their systems (Isolite or Isodry). You can sometimes pickup a used one from eBay or have a US friend ship one to you.
