("ProPhotonix" or "the Company")
ProPhotonix delivers more than 190,000 LED and Laser Modules to
the Dental Equipment Market
ProPhotonix Limited (London Stock Exchange - AIM: PPIX, OTC:
STKR), a high technology designer and manufacturer of LED
illumination systems and laser diode modules, with operations in
Ireland and the United Kingdom, announces more than 190,000 LED and
laser modules have been delivered into the dental equipment
market.
ProPhotonix provides custom LED lights and laser diode modules
for a number of different dental equipment applications, including
LED-based 3D imaging light sources and patient positioning lasers,
as well as laser diode modules and LED lamps for x-ray imaging
applications.
Dental imaging has changed dramatically in recent years with the
advances in 3D scanning and x-ray imaging, significantly
accelerating processes for both the dentist and patients. 3D
imaging of the patient's teeth eliminates the need for traditional
impressions by capturing a 3D digital model of the mouth.
ProPhotonix' expertise in Chip-on-Board LED technology enables
optimum illumination for this application. Incorporating more than
190 LEDs into a miniature ring light in an area of less than
55mm(2) , ProPhotonix' miniature custom LED light provides the
necessary intensity and uniformity to ensure successful image
capture.
X-ray imaging dental equipment can provide a 360 degree view of
the patient's mouth. Laser modules are used in this technology in
two ways, providing a guide for accurate patient positioning and
enabling digitization of x-rays. Visible, eye-safe lasers,
typically red or green lines or crosses, are projected onto the
patient to ensure accurate targeting. Laser diode modules are also
used more actively in the dental imaging process where a laser
module scans the image plate enabling digitization. The laser spot
size and output power directly influence the resolution and
contrast in the final image.
LED lights are also used in x-ray imaging equipment to erase the
digital image from the x-ray plate, using a specific wavelength
with high intensity and uniform illumination. Intensity and
uniformity are critical in this application to ensure complete
removal of the image.
Tim Losik, President and CEO, ProPhotonix Limited, said
"ProPhotonix is pleased to mark this milestone of providing LED and
laser modules solutions to the dental equipment market. The
Company's ability to service multiple applications in this market
demonstrates the advantage that we offer OEMs as an expert in both
