ODONTOIATRIC LIGHTING SYSTEMS SINCE 1948: EXPERIENCE DAL 1948: ESPERIENZA E RINNOVAMENTO AND INNOVATION

The most important tool for the job of a dentist is his sensitivity in understanding the pathologies and, consequently, being able to find the most effective therapeutic solutions. Years of study, continuous updates on intervention techniques, the experience of every physician is constantly confronted with the information gleaned on the surgical field. 85% of this information is obtained through sight, and it is extremely important that the lighting conditions of the environment in which he operates are optimal. A good lighting condition is important for the health of the doctor, as well as bad...

REPRODUCING THE NATURAL LIGHT the visual weariness The visual weariness is caused by repeated contraction and dilation of the iris which the ciliary muscle makes to change the structure of the lens in order to focus (the processes of “adaptation” and “accommodation”). Therefore, the distribution of light within the surgical field should allow the dentist eye to adapt to different luminance amounts with minimal effort. FARO DELIGHTYOU. The human body is designed to live in nature, according to rhythms dictated by the sunlight. Due to the natural production of serotonin (during daylight hours)...

The overloading of the visual system is also harmful to the health of the eye. It manifests as various symptoms such as burning, tearing, dry eye, a feeling of foreign body, eye pain or discomfort, or even blurred vision or ghosting. These disorders, in the long run, can cause diseases procuring a real lack of concentration, headaches over orbital and temples, redness, burning, or discomfort in the eyes even already in the morning when you wake up. A continuous exposure to a wrong light source can lead one to a set of direct or reflected pathologies. On the contrary, a good quality and flexibility...

QUALITY OF LIGHT When choosing a dental lamp you must consider some features for the determination of its quality of light. It is essential that artificial light is able to faithfully reproduce the colours of the materials and tissues which may appear different, depending on the colour temperature of the light source and the relative colour rendering. This is of fundamental importance for the success of the job. The colour temperature is measured in Kelvin (K): a lower value corresponds to a warmer colour tone which tends toward red. A higher colour temperature means cooler shades (green and...

Even the sunlight affects colour perception: at changing of the seasons or hours of the day we see different colours. Therefore it is important to have a light source that, at any time, is able to give accurate informations to the doctor. All Faro lamps offer intensity adjustment so that the visual function can capture the tiny details of the operative field with minimal effort, constantly keeping the colour temperature at 5,000 K. ENERGETIC EFFICIENCY A light bulb emits radiation also outside the visible-light spectrum perceptible by the human eye. The efficiency of a light bulb is as high as...

Depending on the age of the physician, for example, it will require a higher or lower quantity of light. In addition, the smaller details will be observed, the greater the intensity of light is required. A good source of illumination must be adjustable, without losing its characteristics of colour temperature and illumination uniformity. The amount of light required to illuminate the operative field depends on several factors. Proper lighting must have characteristics of intensity, distribution and quality appropriate to the visual function of the physician, in order to capture the details of...

THE GLARE The glare, not only annoying, is potentially damaging because it can cause serious eye lesions on the retina. These lesions can be determined by a thermal effect (coagulation of proteins in the retina) or by a photochemical effect (chemical reactions, without raising the temperature). Especially children are exposed to this risk, as they are subject to the development of their natural defenses. The reflected light optical project FARO provides a defined spot and does not produce heat to minimize this phenomenon. In the case of patients with diagnosed eye diseases is also possible to...

FARO LIGHTING SYSTEMS The technicians of the FARO Department of Research and Development has always collaborated with research institutes and universities to develop products that meet the real needs of the physician and patient. The Faro systems are in fact designed to provide an excellent shadow-removing effect, high luminous efficiency and colour rendering (CRI) with a constant colour temperature at any level of dimming of the lamp. The patented design is the perfect synthesis between aesthetics and functionality. The proven halogen system used on EDI, thanks to a sophisticated electronic...

COLOR TEMPERATURE LUMINOUS INTENSITY SCIALYTIC EFFECT 40 The natural barriers formed by the lips and cheeks, as well as the tools inserted in the oral cavity, can cast shadows making difficult the detailed view of the operative field. The shadow removing effect of a scialytic lamp defines the quality of the diffusion of its light, avoiding the projection of sharp shadows by splitting the light beam into smaller ones that cross one another. The reference value of 50 a dental scialytic lamp is fixed by international standards EN ISO 9680 and provides that the sharp shadow projected by the instrument...
