Ergonomic dental delivery system.
Dental assistants face inefficiencies while delivering composite resins because standard syringes require high force, risk material waste, and lack intuitive feedback. Nuance solves these issues with reduced extrusion effort, visual and haptic dosing clarity, and hygienic design features.
How We Used Psycho-Aesthetics™ to Identify Unique Opportunities in the Project.
Using our proprietary Psycho-Aesthetics® 2.0 framework, we conducted in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation in diverse lab settings. We identified key emotional and usability pain points — such as intimidation with complex interfaces, workspace clutter, and trust in precision. These insights guided both the form and interface strategy, ensuring approachability and confidence in operation.
To reinforce Discus/Philips’ positioning in uncompromising performance and clinical precision, we applied color coded shade graphics, digital capable branding elements, and refined cap and label typography. The syringe delivers intuitive differentiation and professional polish.
RKS supported integrated engineering to achieve unit dosing (~0.1 g per half-rotation click), dose tracking ridges, and material visibility via tick mark windows. Multiple prototype iterations balanced form, feedback, and precision under clinical testing.
Performance prototypes with calibrated screw dosing mechanism
RKS Design’s collaboration on the Nuance Composite Syringe redefined dental composite delivery through deep user insight, ergonomic innovation, and perceptive branding. By fusing reduced force dispensing, intuitive dosing feedback, and hygienic form, Nuance transformed a routine tool into an award winning design, empowering professionals and reshaping expectations in restorative dentistry.
