Classe A9

THE FIRST CROSSOVER

IN DENTISTRY

Anthos Classe A9 offers an effective, comprehensive response to the

wide-ranging needs of dental surgeries.
A compact, versatile treatment centre, the Anthos Classe A9 features
cutting-edge ergonomics, giving the dentist outstanding performance,
unparalleled practicality and great styling.
Exceptional in-built versatility takes into account not only the dentist’s
work but also offers ergonomic solutions of particular interest to the
assistant and smoothes interaction between staff and patient.
Anthos Classe A9 crossover makes the most of space and grants
absolute freedom of movement.

FULL WORKING FREEDOM

MULTIERGONOMY

ABSOLUTE FREEDOM OF ACTION

Thanks to its outstanding versatility, the Anthos Classe A9 can be

adapted to suit the working style of both dentist and assistant perfectly.
All the instruments are within arm’s reach. Everything is under complete
control, allowing the dentist to focus on his patient and the task at hand.

FROM 9 O’CLOCK TO 12 O’CLOCK.

Total operating comfort

Whatever the position, both chair and instruments can be comfortably
controlled via conveniently placed keys on the dentist’s instrument control
panel, the foot control unit or the assistant’s module.

Vacuum Stop
Suction can be temporarily interrupted by applying pressure to the chair base.

Multi-function foot control

The new foot control provides maximum functionality and simplicity;
it is available in three different ergonomic versions.

Position the tray holder exactly as desired

On the Classe A9 tray holder positioning couldn’t be easier;
it can also be removed and refitted quickly.
On-support rotation and on-guide slide-shift ensure the tray
holder is comfortably within reach at all times.

Dentist’s module touch-control

Slight pressure on the handle is all that’s needed to
deactivate the pneumatic lock on the dentist’s module
arm. Moved effortlessly on its self-balancing system, the
module is then stabilised in the desired working position.

Swivel tray holder module, available in two versions: Assistant’s tray holder module: the option of a removable,
regular for 2 trays and small for 1 tray. adjustable stainless steel tray installed on the assistant’s module
provides even greater working versatility.

COMPACT DESIGN AND EXTENSIVE WORKING RANGE. IN PERFECT HARMONY

Versatile, height-adjustable assistant’s module arm

Height adjustment of the assistant’s module arm means
the module and instruments can be positioned perfectly.

The cuspidor bowl: a detail that makes the difference

Simple solutions that are as practical as they are
outstanding. The cuspidor bowl has been specially
designed to minimise bulk; yet despite its essential lines it
still retains excellent holding capacity and depth.
In its stand-by position it is stowed in the unit body,
significantly increasing the amount of work space available
to the assistant.

A button on both
the dentist’s and assistant’s
modules activates cuspidor bowl
movement and the rinse program,
simultaneously activating chair
and bowl until the correct position
is reached.

SURGICAL PADDING AND PNEUMATIC HEADREST.
PATIENT-ACTIVATED CUP FILL KEY.
PROFESSIONALISM ALSO MEANS
PUTTING THE PATIENT AT EASE
The new chair, thinner than the previous version, has a tapered section between the seat and lumbar support, to facilitate
approach and help freedom of movement for both the dentist and the assistant.
In addition to supplying comfortable anatomical support for the patient, the new chair movement (from 90° to Trendelenburg
position) is smooth and regular.

Pneumatic headrest
With the new 3-axis pneumatic headrest (optional) the
dentist can obtain optimal positioning of the patient’s
head. Simple, effortless release is achieved via a key
conveniently placed on the lower side of the headrest.

To ensure effective working

ergonomics
and the proper comfort
of shorter patients or children,
a supplementary cushion
is available on request.

Surgical padding
Surgical visco-elastic padding is available for total patient
comfort*.
Careful design ensures secure, comfortable seating for all
patients.
The characteristics of the materials used provide perfect
patient support at all times. By adapting to their individual
shape and increasing contact surface area, the pressure
exerted on the patient’s body is reduced.
Visco-elastic padding provides an active, calibrated
response that gives maximum patient comfort in all
working positions, especially during prolonged operations.

OUTSTANDING PRECISION AND PERFORMANCE
NEW INTEGRATED X-RAY SENSOR
THE SMALLEST FOCAL SPOT AVAILABLE FOR INTRAORAL IMAGING
THE FLEXIBILITY OF WIRELESS CONTROL INTEGRATED RADIOLOGY

Enhanced diagnostic capacity

To complete your treatment centre, Anthos offers you its ZEN-X sensor and high-frequency X-ray system RXDC HyperSphere,
whose diagnostic potential complements the multimedia system for direct communication. Thanks to the intraoral sensor, it is
now possible to immediately view an X-ray image on the LCD unit. Screen integration and the immediate availability of diagnostic
data enhance the medical team efficiency, preventing down time and interruptions in the workflow.

ZEN-X
The new smoothed, rounded edge ZEN-X X-ray sensor is
conveniently located on the dentist’s module. Readily available
precision diagnostics and above all, extra comfort thanks
to the sensor’s rounded shape that perfectly adapts to the
patient’s oral cavity.

The sensor, available in two sizes, has a compact, sturdy

design thanks to rear lead mounting and lining seal. The
sensor, whose overall size has been reduced to facilitate
positioning in the mouth, enables to quickly obtain highly
accurate clinical images.

RXDC HyperSphere
HyperSphere technology makes RXDC different from all
other commercially available X-ray systems. The RXDC X-ray
tube head can be manoeuvred comfortably with just one
hand. The tube head lock-on/lock-off device swivelling on the
steel sphere enables effortless and highly accurate reposi-
tioning of the tube head. Once the desired exposure position
has been reached it remains perfectly stable.

Wireless control
RXDC is supplied with a portable wireless digital control
device that can be installed anywhere in the dental studio.
The control device offers a full range of intuitive exposure
programs and four buttons designed to make correct X-ray
image acquisition a straightforward process.
The RXDC X-ray system defines automatically the correct
exposure by selecting the anatomic district of interest.

DENTAL CAMERAS WITH PROGRESSIVE SCAN TECHNOLOGY

LASER EVOLUTION PRECISION LIGHTING
Progressive Scan
Digital Progressive Scan technology gives sharp freeze-frame images without analogue conversion of the video signal. The freeze-frame
function can be used via the foot control or directly on the handpiece thanks to the Touch-Sensitive control. Either way, freeze-frame
images without vibration-induced blur can easily be obtained.

C-U2
The digital intraoral camera C-U2 offers the highest bri-
ghtness rating in its category and provides super-sharp
images via the Focus Free system making manual focus-
sing unnecessary. With the handpiece built-in micropro-
cessor, brightness adjustment is done automatically.

C-U2 PRO
PRO optics provides images via three different focal adju-
stments.
Macro Close-Up enhances the perception of the tiniest
details.
Intra-oral Depth of Focus allows for complete inspection of
the oral cavity.
Extra-oral position allows for the easy capture of a smile,
to add to patient records.

MEDICAL VIEW 15”

Flat-screen monitor with PC and video inputs.
In compliance with the EC Directive 93/42, the screen is
made of optical glass with sealed edges to prevent any
infiltration of liquids.

LASER INTEGRAL WITH DENTAL UNIT

Anthos, manufacturers of state-of-the-art equipment to meet
the needs of modern dental surgery, offer dentists a new device
integral with the dental unit. The laser device is suitable for a
variety of dental applications and is a major step forwards to
the most advanced forms of dental surgery.
A – cutting handpiece
NEW POTENTIAL
Incorporation of the diode laser opens up a wide range of
possibilities for the dentist by offering greater potential in
terms of both treatment type and effectiveness. In the
aesthetic field, lasers can give positive whitening results.
With the correct handpiece in-depth treatment can remove
stains from the dentine.
B – biostimulation handpiece (optional)
Lasers ensure heightened achievement of treatment goals
and shorter healing times. Use of lasers is suitable in the fol-
lowing applications where their decontaminating effect is
particularly efficient: mucogingival surgery, parodontology,
endodontics and desensitisation of the dentine.

C – defocalized handpiece for whitening
