Argo Cinema 2

A truly new experience at the dentist.

The best solution to draw the patient’s attention away from the procedures being performed.

For over ten years, since the introduction of i-Glasses and other video glasses / eyewear, these product types have established themselves as the premier patient pain distraction and entertainment system within the dental industry. The reason for this is simple; these product types are the only video entertainment device that can both immerse and focus the patient's attention away from the procedures being performed.
Over the years, the video glasses / eyewear have become much lighter, affordable and comfortable. Thousands of dentists, hygienists, doctors and nurses are using these products worldwide.

Basically when worn, your patients will have the illusion of being at the movie theater instead of your dental surgery. This will truly relax them and get their mind off the procedure being performed in their mouth.

Our video eyewear range are easy to setup, clean and to use. It connects with any device that supports a composite AV output such as a DVD player, VCR, set top box, iPod with video and much much more.

Case Studies

"Fear and anxiety often inhibit patients from seeking dental care. Audiovisual (A/V) distraction techniques have been shown to reduce patient anxiety and pain during dental procedures." - American Dental Association

Anesthesia Progress - Article: pp. 113–117 | Abstract - The Effect of a New Type of Video Glasses on the Perceived Intensity of Pain and Unpleasantness Evoked by a Cold Pressor Test - concludes "....the use of distraction by means of video glasses is able to reduce the perceived intensity of pain and unpleasantness."

Paediatric dental specialist Dr James Lucas has a very high-tech, calming strategy for young patients in the chair. Offer the patient a pair of ‘video glasses’and earphones, and they are easily distracted. James can always fall back on behavioural management techniques – the conventional needle, sedation in the form of laughing gas and, in some cases, general anaesthesia. But the majority of patients choose the video.

A study was published in the Journal of the American Dental Association on the beneficial effects of video glasses / eyewear on dental patients. The results of their study were as follows:

• Subjects reported less anxiety and discomfort when using the A/V glasses system than when they did not.
• Most subjects preferred to use the A/V equipment rather than receive traditional treatment.
• The clinician experienced no significant technical interference during the use of the A/V device.
• The use of the A/V glasses led to decreased treatment time in the first one-half of the procedure.
• The system appeared to lead to some decreases in the physiological parameters over the course of treatment, with the highest systolic blood pressure occurring after the condition with no use of A/V glasses.
