DryShield Isolation System

Install in seconds by twisting off your existing HVE and twisting the DryShield DS1 system onto the existing hose. You’re now ready to enjoy all the benefits of DryShield!

Dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants can all benefit from the many advantages of DryShield. Assistants especially love how DryShield allows them to multi-task.

All dental procedures requiring proper care, visibility, suction can be made even more efficient with DryShield, including sealants, fillings, crowns, implants, extractions, scaling and planing. Nearly every dentist using modern isolation will enjoy greater productivity savings.

A good patient introduction describes the benefits to the patient and how the DryShield mouthpiece works and guides the patient to breathe through their nose. For pediatric patients, see our Tip of the Month on Introducing DryShield to Young Patients.

Both the DryShield DS1 and autoclavable mouthpieces are completely autoclavable. Autoclavable mouthpieces can be sterilized alongside your other dental instruments. (The single-use mouthpiece option is not autoclavable and cannot be sterilized or reused.) See our Sterilization section for detailed instructions on how to sterilize the DryShield DS1 and autoclavable mouthpieces.

With DryShield, the days of juggling dry angles, cotton rolls, gauze, clamps, high suction, rubber dams and saliva ejectors are over. On average, DryShield dentists see a 25-40% reduction in chair time on every procedure. For more detail on the time savings by specific procedure, see the results of our study on dentist productivity with DryShield.

For dentists using traditional isolation, better isolation and control of the working area will lead to a 25-40% reduction in chair time on every procedure. Greater efficiency will allow you to fit more into each appointment, schedule more appointments, and free up your assistant to be more productive.

For dentists using other modern isolation systems, DryShield offers the only fully autoclavable system and mouthpieces on the market. DryShield autoclavable mouthpieces can be sterilized alongside your other dental instruments. This means a lower cost per use so modern isolation can fit into the economics of every dental practice.

Yes. In addition to isolation, retraction and keeping the working environment clean and dry the DryShield system provides a high-volume continuous suction to help control and reduce aerosols.

Yes! The DryShield system was designed from the ground up to be environmentally friendly. The flagship DryShield system is the first and only fully autoclavable all-in-one isolation system on the market, including autoclavable mouthpieces that can be sterilized and reused. Our single-use mouthpieces were also designed to be 100% recyclable.
