Admetec and Andau Medical Donate to Dental Missions
Admetec has donated dental loupes and headlights to HOPEthiopia-Rwanda, a Canada-based nonprofit nongovernmental organization that leads medical missions to Ethiopia and Rwanda. The donations, led through North American distribution partner Andau Medical, help provide magnification and reliable light sources for dentists and surgeons volunteering in locations where operatory settings and electricity are inconsistent.

These loupes will also help dental students and health care practitioners in Africa by providing the magnified, detailed perspectives necessary to better help patients.

FDA Clears Caries Detection Device
Incisive Technologies has announced that the Food and Drug Administration has issued 510(k) clearance for BlueCheck, a caries detection device that specifically binds to active caries lesions and turns a visible blue color. After BlueCheck is painted on, a rinse washes away unbound product to reveal any active caries via the remaining bound blue color.

BlueCheck will be launched in the United States in September through dental sales and distribution channels.
