Australasian Dentist 29 products THE ultimate ‘Mouth Prop Trifecta’ for reliably open mouths Open Wide® Reusable Mouth Prop The unique Open Wide®Reusable Mouth Prop with a new improved, sturdier “Wrap Around” Handle curves to the outside of the cheek so it doesn’t block oral access & allows for simultaneous control of the prop and mandible. A cleverly designed ‘through-the-hole’ receptor can hold standard saliva ejector in place without need for a second set of hands. Assures safe oral access with superior comfort and stability for patient and clinician, the highly crush resistant, over moulded base with a soft Latex®– free material doesn’t become ‘gummy’ when repeatedly autoclaved. Open Wide® Disposable Mouth Prop The Open Wide®Disposable Mouth Prop (aka mouth rest) for those who won’t cooperate or lack motor control, has a graduated wedge design with padded handle and is made from an improved high-density foam with rigid core for stability & strength. The long handle makes for safe, easy control by clinicians and carers; considered a disposable item in the dental office, the prop can be cleaned in hot water and used by parents & carers to facilitate oral hygiene. For those having aggressive bites, a ‘thicker’ version is available with 40% more foam for added strength. Molini® Mouth Opener Our latest mouth support, the innovative Molini® Mouth Opener is a great option for oral access in challenging situations when patients are uncooperative, bedridden or have poor muscle control. Tapered end acts as a wedge to help open mouth when teeth are clenched, and trim design allows for greater visibility of the oral environment. Handle has a bulbous end with secure grip surface to prevent slipping. To use, clinician simultaneously holds the patient’s head and the Molini (as shown) with appropriate points of support intra and extra orally; can also be used for cheek / tongue retraction and as a standard bite block. May also be applicable for Myofunctional Assessment and Therapy. Made of hard plastic, can be sterilised up to 135 degrees C.
