DENTAL TRIBUNE | April 2010 Industry News 21A AD R.E. Morrison Equipment, the manufacturer of BaseVac Dental Dry Suction Systems, announces its compact C-VAC dry suction system for small dental offices. Traditional dry-vac systems require large air flows to cool the pumps, meaning a two operatory office is often too small for a dry vac pump. The BaseVac C-VAC 4.10 has been engineered to provide strong suction (up to 25 Hg) without the need for oil or water. Compact, powerful and quiet, this two operatory dry vac will provide two dentists or a single dentist and hygienist with dependable suction. The unique design integrates the rotary vane pump into the air water separator creating a remarkably small footprint. BaseVac designers took care to position all piping connections at the back of the system for easy tight-to-wall installation. The C-VAC 4.10 is powerful enough to be installed on systems with all sizes of pipe. Based on feedback from practicing dentists, the high-efficiency air/water separator was designed to drain captured liquids every time the pump is turned off, eliminating the need for messy and difficult cleaning. BaseVac Dental Systems offers a full range of dental suction equipment. For more information, visit www.basevacdental.com or contact R.E. Morrison directly at info@remequip.com and (800) 668-8736. DT C-VAC dry suction system AD Fight oral cancer! Did you know that dentists are one of the most trusted profession- als to give advice? Thus, no other medical professionals are in a better position to show patients that they are committed to detecting and treating oral cancer. Prove to your patients just how committed you are to fighting this disease by signing up to be listed at www.oralcancerselfexam.com. This new Web site was developed for consumers in order to show them how to do self-examinations for oral cancer. Self-examination can help your patients to detect abnormalities or incipient oral cancer lesions early. Early detection in the fight against cancer is crucial and a primary benefit in encouraging your patients to engage in self-examinations. Secondly, as dental patients become more familiar with their oral cavity, it will stimulate them to receive treatment much faster. Conducting your own inspection of patients’ oral cavities provides the perfect opportunity to mention that this is something they can eas- ily do themselves as well. You can explain the procedure in brief and then let them know about the Web site, www.oralcancerselfexam.com, that can provide them with all the details they need. If dental professionals do not take the lead in the fight against oral cancer, who will? And in the eyes of our patients, they likely would not expect anyone else to do so — would you?
