b-Calm, llc. Announces Debut of New Patient Management Technology

Dr. Ken Budke, founder of b-Calm, LLC. is pleased to introduce the new patient management system b-Calm. b-Calm™ is a unique new personal audio system designed to relieve dental patients from the disturbing noises generated by the dental drill and other hand pieces. In addition, the proprietary AudioSedation technology promotes a calm and relaxed mind. The result is less stressful more pleasant dental visits.

Dr. Budke, a practicing dentist of 35 years, began development of the b-Calm™ system in 2003 after numerous patient comments on the disturbing nature of drill noise. A variety of solutions were explored and tested both by academic and industry noise control experts. The result is the patent pending AudioSedation technology. Through the unique blend of noise mitigating signals optimized around the sounds in the dental environment, the noise generated by the dental drill and other handpieces is disguised thus making it unrecognizable to the human ear. These signals are blended into live high-fidelity recording of nature that have been proven to promote a low-stress and calm mental state.

To provide a complete solution that would be compatible with the dental office environment the b-Calm™ system was design to be hygienic as well. The foundation of this is a disposable earphone tip that is easily replaced after each use. This tip insures not only good acoustic performance, but hygienic safety as well. Other portions of the system are designed to be easily cleaned. A disposable plastic sleeve is also available to use over the control unit for further patient protection.

Patients who have tested the b-Calm™ system have remarked at the effectiveness of the device in mitigating the drill noise. Other comments note that dental procedures seemed shorter in duration. As a result, it is expected that dentists using the b-Calm™ system will be able to provide better more effective care and encourage routine visits from patients normally fearful of the dentist chair.

b-Calm LLC. is currently seeking additional distribution partners and expects to fully launch the product in the first quarter of 2008. For further information log onto
