Coxo Helen+ LED Curing Light and Photo-Activated Disinfection

Coxo DB686 HELEN+ LED Curing Light & Light-Activated Disinfection

DB686 HELEN+ combines LED curing light with photo-activated disinfection to eliminate bacteria in root canal treatment, periodontal disease, peri-implantitis, and caries by eliminating oral bacterial species on demand.

Benefits for the Practitioner

• Saves time — reduced treatment time and single-visit treatment possible
• Helps preserve supporting tissue in periodontal disease without antibiotics
• Helps protect implants by thorough disinfection of the implant site before placement and of the implant and surrounding tissue in case of infection
• Helps preserve hard tissue with minimally invasive procedures and supports natural remineralization
• Kills bacteria associated with all types of oral lesions
• Enables endodontic treatment in a single visit
• Works only at the infection site, reducing the need for other local and systemic antimicrobials
• Complements minimally invasive restorative procedures as a simple adjunct
• Improves and speeds healing
• Painless and well accepted by patients, including children
• Safe, with no known side effects

Benefits for Patients

• Less time to complete root canal treatment
• Lower likelihood of failed root canal treatment
• Less complex treatment of periodontal pockets
• Lower likelihood of implant failure
• Less need for aggressive antimicrobials and systemic antibiotics
• Less invasive cavity preparation
• Lower risk of pulpal exposure when treating deep decay
• Lower risk of losing teeth
• Less trauma for children and dental-phobic patients

Application in Periodontal Therapy

• Thoroughly debride the site (SRP) using your preferred technique
• After bleeding from instrumentation is controlled, insert the photosensitizer solution into the pocket so it reaches the base; retain for 60 seconds
• Attach the perio tip to the light guide of the 686 HELEN+ handpiece; insert so it contacts the bottom of the pocket; activate the light for 60 seconds
• Review status after four weeks; repeat if necessary

Application in Peri-implantitis

Peri-implantitis compromises implant integrity. Bacterial load can be reduced with the DB686 HELEN+ technique so normal healing may occur and help secure implant stability.

• Mechanically clean the implant body; apply Aseptim solution liberally around and throughout the implant; leave for 60 seconds; activate the Aseptim light for 120 seconds
• If necessary, augmentation can be done in the same session
• Aseptim Plus may be used prior to implant placement to disinfect the prepared site

Application in Caries Treatment

• Isolate from saliva with cotton rolls and high-speed aspiration or rubber dam; remove only sufficient enamel to access the carious lesion
• With excavator or slow-running handpiece and round bur, remove only infected tissue; stop immediately when resistance is felt
• Apply Aseptim solution to the whole lesion with a brush; work into the infected tissue surface and cover the whole cavity; continue for 60 seconds
• Place the DB686 HELEN+ handpiece tip over the lesion and hold just above the cusps on the occlusal surface
• Activate red light for 60 seconds with the tip centered on the lesion; light penetrates surrounding tissue to activate Aseptim and disinfect remaining lesion; if two interproximal surfaces are involved, disinfect each separately
• After disinfection: (a) fill immediately with a suitable restorative, or (b) before final filling, treat remaining softened tissue with a remineralizing agent. Note: glass ionomers are particularly appropriate to seal and assist remineralization of deep cavities
