The machines and materials you need to capture clear images of your patients
PracticeWorks
PracticeWorks offers its 8000C Digital Panoramic and Cephalometric System. The 8000C system allows orthodontists to make fast, accurate diagnoses, streamline practice workflow, and improve communication with patients.The 8000C system uses “one shot” technology to capture high-quality cephalometric images in about 1 second. “One shot” technology reduces the risk of blurred images because of patient movement. Its dual-sensor design eliminates the need to swap sensors for panoramic and cephalometric images, reducing the time a patient must wait. The sensors are built into the unit, minimizing wear and tear and eliminating the possibility that the staff will damage the sensors by dropping them.

Planmeca USA
Planmeca USA introduces its ProMax 3D cone beam volumetric tomography (CBVT) x-ray machine, which features 3D imaging, digital panoramic imaging, digital panoramic bitewings, and digital cephalometrics. According to the company, the ProMax 3D CBVT has a small footprint for use on-site in any orthodontic office. The ProMax 3D CBVT x-ray’s exposure time is 6 seconds, with a scan rate of 16 to 18 seconds per image. The orthodontist may choose the required region of interest (upper jaw, lower jaw, or upper right quadrant) through segment selection. This feature reduces the image scan time and the patient’s radiation dose. The system’s flat-panel, semiconductor-based sensor provides high-sensitivity and image resolution that can be used for implantology, maxillofacial surgery, orthodontic planning, and TMJ analysis.

Sirona Dental Systems
Sirona Dental Systems offers the Orthophos XG Plus, a digital pan/ceph imaging system, that features 20 or more programs. The XG Plus automatically adjusts (x-ray diaphragm and orbital curve) to each patient and ensures accurate images each time. Its intuitive Easypad full-color touch screen makes operating the system simple and lets you view the images directly on the screen immediately after the exposure. Patient positioning is simple and consistent due to the three-point patient stabilization and two laser light lines.

Imaging Sciences International
Imaging Sciences International introduces its Next Generation i-CAT® Cone Beam 3D dental imaging machine. The i-CAT offers 5-, 8.5-, and 26-second scan times with standard reconstruction taking less than 30 seconds. A rotating, amorphous silicon flat-panel sensor accurately captures small and extended fields of view with control over radiation dosage. The sensor adjusts to capture data in portrait and landscape views. It has the ability to collimate for a range of volumes (4 to 17 cm high x 16 to 23 cm wide). Portrait view captures extended-field-of-view data in 8.5 seconds. Landscape view offers full resolution and detail for smaller fields of view. The i-CAT also includes an extended field of view (17 cm high x 23 cm wide), which can create cephalometric 3D images of the entire skull. A rotating, flip-panel sensor captures smaller fields of view. Typical file sizes are 50MB per file. The i-CAT features smooth, rounded corners for aesthetics and ergonomics. Its chair/head support reduces movement and optimizes image quality.

Dexis
Dexis is a digital x-ray system that features “One-Click FMS” and ClearVU™ image enhancement. According to the company, the PerfectSize™ sensor has three advantages: a smart design that places the electronics on the sensor’s back so the active imaging area is almost 100% of the total sensor size; an ergonomic design that features four rounded corners, a slim profile, and a seamless casing, allowing precise sensor placement; and a patented cord placement that allows vertical and horizontal bite-wings and periapicals with a single sensor, which eliminates the cost and inconvenience of multiple sensors of different sizes. Dexis integrates with all practice-management programs, digital pan systems, and digital and video cameras.
