Melissa Padgett, DDS
“These isolate and allow restoration of the anterior teeth better than anything else I have ever tried.”
Michael R. Keim, DDS

Reem Kabbarah, DDS
“HOOPLA is more comfortable than the Optragate, and has a slimmer profile. Provides better retraction of the cheek as well”
Philip Choi, DDS

HOOPLA is made from biodegradable polymer derived from a plant-based material. It can be disposed of with organic waste, significantly reducing your practice’s environmental impact compared to traditional plastic retractors. This eco-friendly aspect can also be a selling point for environmentally conscious patients.

Yes, many dental professionals report significant time savings with HOOPLA. By providing consistent retraction and improved visibility, HOOPLA reduces the need for constant adjustments, allowing you to work more efficiently.

HOOPLA is versatile and can be used for a wide range of dental procedures, including general dentistry, orthodontics, periodontics, cosmetic dentistry, pediatrics, restorative dentistry, hygiene procedures, and oral surgery. It’s particularly beneficial for procedures requiring clear visibility of the anterior region. It’s slim profile gives you great access and visibility without getting in the way.
HOOPLA is designed for single use to ensure maximum hygiene and performance. Each retractor is intended to last for the duration of a single procedure or appointment. It’s easy to remove and replace Hoopla at any time during the procedure and then once you’re done it can be disposed of in organic waste due to the plantbased, biodegradable material.
HOOPLA comes in a standard size which is suitable for almost everyone from ages 8 plus. There is also a compact size which may be more comfortable for younger pediatric cases and adults with very small mouths. In almost all cases the standard HOOPLA will work great unless you are treating very young patients in which case the compact size may be preferable.
Each HOOPLA retractor is individually wrapped, ensuring sterility until the moment of use. The single-use design eliminates the need for sterilization between patients, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. This makes it an easy and convenient choice, while the biodegradable plant-based polymer reduces waste.
