How digital technology and the 3M ESPE True Definition Scanner fit into Dr. John Weston’s practice.

DEXIS celebrated it's 15th anniversary during the ADA Annual Session in San Francisco last week by introducing the DEXIS Imaging Suite 10.0.4 at an amazing launch event at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Oral surgeon Dr. Michael Dachowski tells us how Gendex digital radiography systems help him provide the best possible care to his patients. 

The launch event for the DEXIS Imaging Suite 10.0.4 impressed the numerous industry leaders and dental professionals present for several reasons...

The ADA Annual Session has come and gone. Now that the dental community has had some time to recover from the major industry event that gathered more than 33,000 attendees, we'd like to take a step back and focus on the most substantial take-aways.

As part of DPR's category round-up for digital sensors (see introduction here), we did "snapshot" interviews with dentists using three of the market leading sensors to find out what they chose and why.

Imaging Sciences International discusses its 20 year anniversary, digital imaging systems.

Gain more clinical oversight with the i-CAT Precise cone beam 3D imaging system.

J. Morita, world leader in imaging technology, today announced a major reduction in X-ray dosage of its cone beam (or 3D) X-ray units. Morita’s 3D product lines now come automatically equipped with a Dose Reduction Feature that lowers dosage from 30% to 40% on all three-dimensional fields of view.

This new feature, promoted in print and online, is designed to offer quick bites for team development and practice success. We highlight best practices and best products in Top 3, Top 5 and Top 7 lists so that you can take the advice and be nimble in integrating into your practice. 1. An optimized website

At the ADA Annual Session this weekend, we celebrate the launch of the DEXIS Imaging Suite 10.0.4. In the spirit of product that helps the dentist see more in his or her images, we've compiled a list of articles to help dentists see more about the many benefits to digital radiography.

Designed as an all-in-one CAD system for dental laboratories, the DScan Due+ is a structured white light scanner with an integrated PC. The system can handle accurate 3D scanning, precision digital modeling and CAD restoration design. While the system offers automated operations, all scan strategies and data acquisition parameters are user customizable. Scans are accurate up to 15 microns, data can be exported in standard STL format, and the scans and designs can be viewed by connecting the scanner to any computer monitor.

CEREC 4.0 Software takes full advantage of the speed and accuracy of advanced Bluecam digital imaging technology from Sirona. Sophisticated, yet easy-to-use multiple and simultaneous restoration design capabilities enable users to work on as many restorations as they want-and at the same time.

Adding a digital radiography system brings a range of operational improvements and efficiencies to a practice, and despite significant initial costs, these systems can even save a practice money over the long term. However, if the new, high-tech gear is not properly used and cared for, practices can find the price tag unexpectedly growing and eating away at the return on their investment.

Planmeca, maker of the ProMax 3D imaging system, announced Friday that it has named Henry Schein, Inc. as a US distributor of its full line of dental equipment, software and other products, including its category-leading digital imaging products
