Testimonials:
- "When using an ultrasonic scaler, visibility can be an issue. Using
Protégé has reduced time spent re-adjusting my overhead light, especially
when scaling those dark posterior regions."
- Michelle Hurlbutt, RDH, BS
- "As a progressive Dental Hygienist, I did not want to be 'left in
the dark'. Protégé tips allow me to see Dental Hygiene in a whole
new light."
- Tracey Bennett, RDH, BS
- "Ergonomically, I don't have to strain my neck thanks to the Protégé
insert. It illuminates the distal line angles in the posteriors without
any guess work. Not only did Protégé light up the anteriors but it
helps illuminate the more visually difficult areas. I have even recognized
questionable soft tissue lesions that were not noticeable during the
oral cancer screening. My patients and I thank you, Discus!"
- Debra Grant, RDH, BS, Oraspa, Inc., CA
- "Using the Protégé LED for debridement has improved my instrumentation
and ergonomic position. Due to the light, I've been able to increase
accuracy and patient comfort. This insert is worth having."
- Emily Kinsell Berger, RDH, BS
