OSSTEM Live Show, operated by Osstem Implant led by Chairman Kyu-ok Choi, is hosting a special broadcast from August 11 to August 14, 2026, to launch Ivoclar’s new oral cheek and lip retractor, OptraGate 2, according to reports from Dental News, Dental Arirang, and Dental Koo. The four-day promotional event highlights the product’s clinical utility, structural upgrades, and special purchasing bundles for dental clinics.
Design Features and Clinical Applications of OptraGate 2
According to Dental News, the primary engineering update in OptraGate 2 is its newly incorporated third-ring structure. This 3-ring design helps retract patients’ lips and cheeks more securely, allowing individuals to maintain an open-mouth position comfortably over extended procedures. For practitioners, the device delivers a broader field of view and smoother instrument accessibility.
Coverage by Dental Arirang notes that the retractor’s versatile application range spans anterior restorations as well as posterior treatments. By accommodating multiple clinical indications within a single device, clinics can reduce the need to stock various types of retractors. The tool is designed for preventive care, tooth whitening, orthodontics, porcelain veneers, temporary restorations, and digital oral scanning.
Sizing Options and Special Launch Promotions
To minimize product waste and streamline inventory management, the manufacturer supplies OptraGate 2 in two distinct sizes: Small and Regular. Dental Koo reports that packaging includes a built-in size guide, enabling dental staff to verify the correct fit prior to opening the product. During the live broadcast, product specialists and show hosts will perform live demonstrations showing how to select and utilize the correct sizes.
According to Dental News, Osstem Live Show is pairing the launch with a special purchasing promotion. Clinics purchasing two boxes of OptraGate 2 (80 pieces per box) receive a special discount alongside Ivoclar’s Telio Inlay Universal temporary restorative material as a complimentary gift. Practitioners can choose between Small and Regular configurations to match their specific clinical environments.
