Small animal practices that carry out their own dentistry are the D-U2000's main setting, along with mixed practices and referral clinics that run dental lists. Because it brings its own compressed air, the unit can work in a dental room, prep room, or theatre, wherever the anaesthetised animal is, as long as a mains socket is to hand.
A routine case often begins with scaling. The 28,000 Hz scaler, held at power by its frequency tracking and lit by a white LED, cleans the teeth while the 3-way syringe rinses and dries the field. Polishing follows on the low-speed handpiece, fitted with a disposable polishing head from the set, and its coolant delivery tube cools the work as it goes.
Extractions and other cutting work fall to the high-speed handpiece. Running at 300,000 rpm or more on a 360° swivel, it uses the set burs and an LED, while the magnetic platform holds each one ready for the next step. RWD designs the unit to shorten treatment, which it links to lower anaesthetic risk, and to reduce damage to the alveolar bone and oral mucosa, as well as the risk of retained roots during extraction.
Space and sound count in rooms shared with other work. The unit needs 450 × 400 mm of floor space, stays at 65 dB or below, and rolls on smooth castors at 32 kg, so one unit can serve several rooms in turn. Its tank drains on a timer, taking that chore off the team's daily list.
Veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, and technicians share the unit for scaling, polishing, and cutting work.
