Dental Relaxation Device
Sanctum is a therapeutic dental device that provides relaxation and
distraction during treatment, optimal eye protection and unprecedented post-
procedural recovery for every patient.
Sanctum is equally suited for patients for home use to promote generalized
relaxation, accelerate post-operative recovery and as an important aid for
sleep onset inducement.
Dental healthcare professionals who operate in busy and stressful environments
are afforded a powerful remedy for eye fatigue and hypertonic facial and neck
musculature by using Sanctum in break periods or at day’s end.
Who can Sanctum help?
Many different types of individuals can benefit from using Sanctum,
including:
- Patients who are nervous and anxious
- Patients undergoing long procedures
- Patients who dislike or are afraid of the noise of dental drills
- Patients who dislike the vibration of dental drills
- Patients who prefer not to see instruments or operators during treatment
- Patients who have local anaesthesia
- Patients who need optimal eye protection during treatment
- Dental healthcare professionals with eye fatigue
- Dental healthcare professionals exposed to stress
- All individuals for home use affected by stress
- For inducement of sleep
How does Sanctum work?
Sanctum provides unheralded relief, relaxation and protection through the
unique combination of therapeutic modalities:
- Targeted peri-orbital contracting and compressional massage therapy (around the eyes)
- Thermotherapy, specifically at 42oC / 107oF
- Vibrational force therapy
- Distraction therapy using in-built audio input (or via Bluetooth from your own device)
- Accelerated anaesthetic dispersement
- Sleep onset enhancement
- Unique fully sealed eye protective design
- Long battery life
- Ergonomic & portable folding design with soft case
Patient Benefits of Sanctum
-
Significant Relaxation
Most dental patients are nervous and apprehensive during dental treatment. Compressional massage fires the stretch reflex which enables hypertonic muscles to relax. Pressure applied by Sanctum stretches the spindle cells and triggers a reflexive contraction. This contraction protects the muscle from hypertonicity and is followed by general relaxation of all of the peri-orbital and facial muscles. -
Improved Lymphatic Drainage
Compression from Sanctum initially constricts muscle fibres and capillaries: metabolites (by-products of muscles doing work) are quickly eliminated. Momentary reflexive tightening of the muscle (the stretch reflex) compresses venous and lymph channels. This tightening forces metabolites out of muscle tissue and prevents tissue irritation caused by the stasis of lactic, hyaluronic and carbonic acids. -
Faster Healing
Compressional massage therapy accelerates healing as pro-collagen fibre formation is stimulated.
Mechanical stimuli in this form of massage, when applied to the orbit and surrounding tissues are able to increase collagen production by the stimulation of fibroblasts’ functions and by attracting new cells from neighbouring areas.
Targeted pressure will produce blanching on trigger points which creates a local hypoxia, followed by a reactive hyperemia. Micro-circulation is restored and the trigger point is eradicated. Micro-haemorrhaging also eventuates in increased metabolic function. -
Mood Enhancement
Prolonged deep compressional therapy results in vagal tonus and parasympathetic dominance – altering mood (hypnagogic trance) and an improved healing state results. -
Accelerated Anaesthetic Recovery
Many patients have anxiety over having local anaesthetic as part of a dental procedure. Whilst they are grateful for not feeling any pain or discomfort during their procedure, they will likely want any anaesthesia to wear off as quickly as possible after their procedure is complete.
If no swelling is present, gentle application of the Sanctum device to the anaesthetised soft tissue will immediately increase blood flow to the affected area. In addition to the warmth , compression therapy will also increase blood flow and the anaesthetic will dissipate up to 50% faster.
(particularly infiltration anaesthesia). -
Ideal Eye Protection
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires dental practices to provide protective eyewear for all patients. Sanctum provides a completely sealed protective environment and is highly impact-resistant to deflect potential airborne debris – whether hard or soft – during all dental procedures. Wearing Sanctum properly is also an important way to reduce the risk of transmission of infectious agents. Many procedures generate particles that may travel towards the eyes and peri-orbital areas of the patient. Common procedures include the use of an ultrasonic scaler, the highspeed air rotor hand-piece and the triplex syringe. -
Audio Relaxation And Distraction
Music therapy an exogenous cue that can be utilised in dentistry for apprehensive and nervous patients as it significantly reduces anxiety. Music is an effective,complementary, non-pharmacological method contributing to providing comfort during clinical procedures. Dental visits can be made more palatable by incorporating an audio analgesia effect during treatments, with no significant financial input.
Working to alleviate tensions, stress and anxiety associated with dental
visits
Five Treament Modes:
- Dental Pre-Treament Mode
- Dental Treament Mode
- Surgical Relaxation Mode
- Post-Treatment Recovery Mode
- Post-Anaethesia Mode
Dental Pre-treatment Mode
Indication: The Pre-treatment Mode prepares a patient for any the dental,
medical or clinical procedure. This mode is best used to enhance the mood of
patients with a history of anxiety, nervousness or general fear of being in
the dental surgery.
This “all-in” setting allows patients to sample all functions and is ideal to
offer patients before treatment commences. The patient may choose to preclude
one or more functions to suit their individual needs. This mode is best
utilised before administering local anaesthesia.
Functions:
- Compression therapy
- Vibrational Massage
- Thermotherapy 42oC/107oF
- Audio analgesia
Dental Treatment Mode
Indication: This Sanctum function is best used for shorter dental
treatment appointments like a dental prophylaxis, minor restorations, veneer
preparations and digital impression procedures. Best utilised for patients who
are afraid of dental drills and noises during a procedure.
This setting is simple yet effective as a distraction during most procedures.
The patient detects compression, whilst music or audio stimuli are heard which
affords them “drifting off” into their own relaxed mental state.
Functions:
- Compression therapy
- Audio analgesia
Surgical Relaxation Mode
Indication: This combination suits patients who are comfortable with
multiple stimuli and prefer a stronger sense of distraction, especially during
more complex procedures.
Crown and bridge, oral surgery and implant procedures are common uses for this
mode.
Functions:
- Compression therapy
- Vibrational Massage
- Audio analgesia
Post-treatment recovery mode
Indication: This Sanctum mode allows the patient to recover and relax
after dental treatment. The patient can be brought into a recovery room or is
given time in the chair to complete the Post-treatment Recovery cycle.
Compression Therapy is initiated at this stage which initiates lymphatic
drainage and increases collagen production and healing as the patient rests
post treatment.
Thermotherapy is introduced at 42oC/107oF.
This mode allows the dental practice/staff time to look after the patient and
ensure they are safe to leave the clinic on their own, increasing customer
satisfaction and providing an additional service.
Functions:
- Compression therapy
- Thermotherapy 42oC/107oF
- Audio analgesia
Post-Anaethesia Mode
Indication: The Post Anaesthesia mode is best used when there is no
swelling present. This Sanctum mode is designed to assist in dispersion of
anaesthetic solution out of the facial region. Used in the dental chair or
recovery room, it helps any anaesthesia to wear off as quickly as possible
after a procedure is completed.
Functions:
- Thermotherapy 42oC/107oF
- Audio analgesia
Preparing Sanctum For Use
- Place a plastic protective barrier on the Sanctum device.
- Use a tissue or cloth as an eye barrier on the patient.
- Place the Sanctum gently over the patient’s head so it sits comfortably over the ocular area. The strap is adjustable to achieve the perfect fit.
Turn on Sanctum and connect to Bluetooth®
-
Long press the button for 2 secs to turn it on/off.
Touch the button again to select the Treatment mode you desire.

On your mobile phone, iPad, tablet or computer: switch on Bluetooth, search for the Sanctum which is named “EYE MASSAGER” and connect.
You can now select and play music/audio through the device.
