What People Are Saying

“You must add one more indispensable item to your armamentarium. I know you have a long list of indispensable items already, but you really have to at least hear about this one. It has a funky name but it works incredibly well. It’s called a “Dental Pop”. It’s actually a combination bite-block, suction tip, tongue retractor in a disposable lolly pop design;”

— Doug Disraeli D.D.S.

“We are very happy to share with you why we like to use the “Dentapops”. One of the way we use it is while placing sealants. It helps to retract the tongue and is quite effective in keeping the area dry at the same time. It is a great device to help patients keep their mouth open and relax their jaw joint during their dental procedure.”

— Dr. David C. Sisson D.D.S

“I am a general dentist in Illinois and I have been using Dentapops for several years. I find that this device is very helpful in many dental procedures that requires isolation from moisture. I use the Dentapop routinely for sealants and composite fillings on back teeth where moisture control is essential.”

— Michael P. Gorman D.D.S.

“The Dentapop is a three-in-one device that will help you in many situations. This product is easily placed in adults or children in a matter of seconds – and has many indications. Those days when you are working without that third hand you so desperately need, pull out your Dentapop.”

— Warren Bobinski Dental Expert and Blogger, Success in Dentistry and Life

“It is excellent … for all operative procedures on both arches … the dental assistant can use the extra time to attend to other tasks for greater efficiency.”

  • Below is Dentapops review in Dental Economics online publication.

    Dentapops 3-in-1 device is a "hands-free" dental assistant. The Dentapop is a disposable intraoral device consisting of three parts working together: mouth prop, suction tube, and tongue deflector. The patient simply bites on the mouth prop which holds the mouth open and stabilizes the dry-field aspirator. The Dentapop can be placed in seconds, is fully adjustable to fit both adults and children, and is universal for either the left or right side of the mouth. Comfortable to use and nonabrasive to soft tissues, it is excellent for sealants, ultrasonic scaling, and all operative procedures on both arches. By having the patient provide the stability for the Dentapop dry-field aspirator, the dental assistant can use the extra time to attend to other tasks for greater efficiency. Dentapops have been highly rated by the top product evaluators in dentistry.

  • Isolation devices: No man is an island, but his teeth should be By Monica F. Anderson, DDS, DrBicuspid.com contributing writer.

    Another alternative is combination isolation/evacuation devices that do more than just remove moisture. For example, Dentapops (Primotec) is a disposable three-in-one device providing mouth prop, suction, and tongue deflector. The patient bites on the mouth prop to stabilize the device. A glowing review in Dental Economics (May 2002, Vol. 92:5) concluded, “It is excellent … for all operative procedures on both arches … the dental assistant can use the extra time to attend to other tasks for greater efficiency.”

  • Dentapops featured in Case Study on restorative dentistry in Dentistry Today magazine.

    This case is the kind most of us see every day in practice. There are six composites to do, each replacing amalgams with secondary and interproximal decay (Figures 1 through 4). In this case anesthetic was delivered with bilateral anesthesia blocks, and a rubber dam was placed. Proper isolation cannot be discounted. We use a rubber dam, or at least Dentapops (Primotec) and Dry Tips (Microcopy) as compromise isolation. A rubber dam certainly is best whenever possible, as it reduces the chance of contamination from saliva and the humidity from the patient’s breath.

    Amalgam and gross decay were removed using a new 330 bur, which expedites amalgam removal plus reduces friction and heat buildup. I’m as cheap as the next guy, but spending $0.90 on a new 330 bur for multiple restorations is a money saver. It will cut faster and with less trauma than one you’ve been using since you were in dental school. Throw them away before they rust to the point that the head falls off, or before they catch a tooth on fire from friction.
