Ultradent Propgard Kit # 4100
The Ultradent Propgard Kit (4100) is an advanced and specialized oral device designed to assist dental and medical professionals during various procedures that require holding the mouth open while simultaneously retracting the tongue.
The key feature of this kit is the inclusion of tongue guards or positioners, available in both right and left versions. These guards can be easily inserted into a mouthpiece, providing a stable platform to keep the patient's mouth comfortably open.
The tongue guards are designed with adjustable slots, allowing healthcare professionals to customize the superior/inferior relationship, ensuring an optimal fit for each individual patient. For easy identification and correct orientation, each tongue guard is clearly marked with either an "R" or "L" notation, indicating the appropriate positioning within the patient's mouth. This ensures precision and efficiency during various dental and medical procedures.
The Ultradent Propgard Kit finds applications in multiple areas of dental practice, such as dental treatments like examinations, fillings, extractions, and root canal procedures. It also proves invaluable during oral surgeries, providing enhanced visibility and control for the surgeon. Moreover, in medical settings, the kit assists in throat and airway examinations, allowing for better diagnostic evaluations.
Furthermore, the kit can play a vital role in therapies related to sleep apnea and snoring, facilitating the fitting and positioning of dental appliances for managing sleep-related breathing disorders.
