How to Measure Space for Dental Restorations Easily: Meet LISA
Precision is key when collaborating in a multidisciplinary team, yet accurately measuring interdental spaces for colleagues remains a challenge. Measurement errors can result in extended clinic time for adjustments, repeat patient visits, and even lab remakes.
Thankfully, clinicians Chris Butterworth and Jayne Harrison at Liverpool University Dental Hospital have developed the LISA (short for Liverpool, Implant, Space, Assessment) Gauge that is set to transform the way you measure space for restorative work. With LISA, measurement errors can be minimised or eliminated completely.
How does the LISA Gauge make measuring easier?
Meet LISA, the Ortho/Restorative team’s new best friend and your go-to tool for precision measurement. This handy gauge is designed to make your space measurements more accurate and consistent. This ensures that the space left for your restorative colleagues is optimal for the placement of restorations with the ideal size and proportions for each patient. Whether you’re measuring a single tooth or multiple unit spaces, the LISA Gauge offers convenient ease of use and precision.
LISA is now available at a launch offer price of £130 (RRP £150).
- Titanium Construction: Durable, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion.
- Precision Milled: Engineered to provide consistent measurements every time.
- Dual Purpose: Use the straight section for single or double tooth assessments and the curved section for multiple unit spaces round the arch.
- Etched Markings: Both sides of the gauge are etched for easy reading, handling and accuracy.
How It Works
The unique boomerang shape of the LISA Gauge is specifically designed for versatility. The straight sections allow for easy insertion and precise measurement, accurate to 0.05mm, for single and double tooth assessments.
For more complex measurements around the curve of the arch, the curved section provides a comfortable and reliable option, both intra-orally and on study models. Simply align the zero mark with one end of the space, and measure effortlessly around the curve.
A Tool You Can Rely On
In both clinical and model-based applications, the LISA Gauge is your reliable partner for orthodontic space measurement. From single tooth sites to multiple restoration areas, this gauge is designed with your needs in mind, ensuring comfort, precision, and ease of use for every patient.
