Group Practices

Group Practices

In group practices, several practitioners share rooms and equipment. Each one has different physical requirements, different habits, and different preferences. A dental microscope for the group practice must therefore be primarily able to do one thing: adapt quickly and easily to different users. The SOM 4dent series by Karl Kaps is designed exactly for this purpose.

Flexibility without Compromise

The dentist is 1.90 metres tall, while his colleague is 1.65 metres. He enjoys sitting upright, she prefers a slightly inclined position. He mainly works at 12 o'clock, she at 9 o'clock. In a group practice, different working styles come together, and the microscope must cater to everyone.

The key lies in the combination of ergonomic wedge, varioscope, and swivel tube. The 45° ergonomic wedge with binocular turntable neutralises different body heights and working positions in the turning range of ±24°. Every practitioner can find their optimal viewing position without needing adjustments to the microscope.

The varioscope extends this flexibility into the vertical dimension. Different working distances can be continuously adjusted, ranging from 200mm to 350mm with the SOM 4dent 300. Those with longer arms or sitting further from the patient simply increase the working distance.

The fanless LED lighting and clean design without cable clutter make cleaning between treatments easier. Hygiene in a group practice becomes child's play rather than a time-consuming chore.

45° Ergonomic Wedge with Swivel Plate

The binocular swivel plate with ±24° rotation range caters to different body sizes and working positions. Each practitioner finds their optimal viewing angle without adjustments.

Variable Varioscope

The steplessly adjustable working distance from 200mm to 350mm (SOM 4dent 300) adapts to varying arm lengths and seating positions. No lens change required between practitioners.

Electromagnetic Brakes

A simple button press releases the brakes, allowing the microscope to be repositioned; releasing the button locks the position. Quick shifts between working styles without tools.

Sleek Design

The integrated cable management and the enclosed housing of the SOM 4dent series facilitate cleaning between practitioners. Hygiene without time loss.

Robust Construction

Frequent adjustments mean frequent movement. Karl Kaps dental microscopes are designed for continuous use in group practices, robust and low-maintenance.
