If you subscribe to the online or print versions of Dentaltown or Hygienetown, you’re familiar with the Townie Awards issue that premiered in December 2008. Hygienetown awarded ViziLite (by Zila Pharmaceuticals, AZ) in the Dental Hygiene/Oral Cancer Screening category. In addition, Zila’s ProSelect® Platinum Ultrasonic Scaler and Heated Irrigator was honored in the Periodontics/Power Scalers/Ultrasonic Piezo category. The awards are based solely on clinicians’ votes.

At DentalBlogs, we’ve had significant coverage of ViziLite over the past year. Awareness of shocking oral cancer statistics – 30,000 new cases in the US annually – prevention, and detection was a hot topic in 2008, and it continues to grow in popularity. ViziLite’s oral cancer detection tool, with TBlue marking system, helps dental professionals find oral cancer in the earliest stage, before white patches are visible on the surface of soft tissues. Early detection and treatment give a patient a survival chance of 80% or better. Learn more about ViziLite early oral cancer detection at www.vizilite.com.
