Imaging product guide

Digital imaging devices are an indispensible part of modern dentistry, including X-ray sys-tems, digital image sensors,

phosphor plate systems and increasingly, intraoral cameras.

It’s an accepted fact that when making a purchase for anything, compromises often have to be made. Whether it’s a dental chair, car, mobile phone etc., there will always be factors affecting the final product chosen by a customer. Price, colour, features, ergonomics, all come into play.

Given this, it’s important to stay focused on the primary functions of a product. So why do dentists need an intraoral camera?

Digital Imaging Product Manager at A-dec, Leni Vilivili, said there are three key reasons an intraoral camera is now a standard diagnostic tool in the surgery:

Today’s Sopro intraoral cameras include the revolutionary SoproLIFE and SoproCARE devices that utilise fluores-cence technology to diagnose dental caries, plaque and calculus, as well as reveal gingival inflammation and early onset periodontal disease.

“At the heart of this topic, is one thing...

exceptional image quality! ACTEON Sopro has ensured that whether the dental prac-titioner is using a SoproCARE, SoproLIFE, Sopro 717 or Sopro 617, there is no varia-tion in image quality across the range.”

“No matter which Sopro camera is be-ing used, the dental practitioner has not compromised the final image quality. This

is something that the competition simply can’t offer,” Mr Vilivili said.

The same high definition image quality extends to ACTEON’s radiography range. The new “X-Mind Unity” digital X-ray gen-erator with 0.4 mm focal spot and Sopix2 high resolution sensors, deliver superior image clarity with sharp definition, allow-ing the practitioner to easily differentiate variations in the anatomy.
