By Gendex Staff n Some things improve with age: wine, wisdom and the innovative imaging solutions from Gendex. In 2013, Gendex will celebrate its 120th year of producing easy-to-use and affordable imaging solutions. From sensors to panoramics to 3-D imag- ing, Gendex quality, engineering and workmanship create products that give dental professionals more oppor- tunities to bring quality and innova- tive dental care to their patients. The new Gendex GXS-700 sen- sors represent the eighth-generation digital sensor from Gendex. Whether an office is changing from film to dig- ital or just upgrading sensors, these sensors are easy to use and portable and create images instantly with out- standing quality and clarity. To maxi- mize comfort, these sensors come in two sizes, to accommodate children and adults, and are designed with rounded corners and smooth edges. X-rays can be captured more quickly with the “Always Ready” featurethatautomaticallyrecognizes the presence of radiation and starts image acquisition without initiating thecapturethroughsoftwareorhard- ware interfaces. And, because of the USB connection, the sensor is easily transferred between operatories, and the team member does not have to keep track of docking stations or card readers. For offices that use panoramic imaging, the GXDP-300™ offers diag- nostic efficiency and office produc- tivity. Accurate, clear views of the patient’s anatomy are gained through proprietary FOX™ technology. Images can be viewed in a variety of imaging software programs employing GxT- WAIN interface. Taking pans is easy and quick with a simple three-step operation and a n Picasso Lite by AMD LASERS, a global leader in dental lasers and dental laser education, was recently voted the most popular dental laser as surveyed by diode laser users in the most recent Clinicians Report, titled “Are Diode Lasers Worth the Investment?” Picasso laser technology was eval- uated and compared against eight other diodes in the market. Clinicians Report (CR), an inde- pendent, non-profit, dental education and product-testing foundation, con- cluded that, “Picasso Lite has a good combination of features, ease of use, low cost and is a valuable adjunct for soft-tissue surgery and hemos- tasis” (CR, June, 2012). Picasso Lite wasawardedanexcellent-goodrating overall with top ratings in several large LCD touchscreen — just choose the projection, select the patient size and take the pan. The EasyPosition™ system allows the team member to easily place and stabilize different- sized patients, even those in wheel- chairs, to reduce movement and opti- mize accuracy. Taking radiography one step fur- ther, the Gendex GXDP-700™ Series has the ability to transform from 2-D panoramics to cephalometrics to 3-D. The system is modular, so besides the full complement of 2-D panoramic imaging, it can be upgraded to cepha- lometric and 3-D SFOV (small field- of-view). That way, as the practice grows, so can the dentist’s imaging choices. With images from this versatile unit, dentists can diagnose and treat- ment plan for caries, root investi- gation, orthodontics, implants and other surgical procedures, as well as performpatienteducation.TheGXDP- categories, including handpiece and cord,simplecontrolsandhasthemost affordable disposable tips, among eight leading brands. According to CR, 73 percent of cli- nicians surveyed would recommend a laser and 80 percent felt it was a good investment. To view the full report, please visit www.amdlasers. com. Picassolasertechnologycontinues to be the game changer it was in 2009 when it was launched, to a repre- 700 offers 33 panoramic options — 11 projections for three patient sizes, two 3-D volume sizes plus a dose-sav- ing scout view and the ability to add cephalometrics — 15 options and five projections for three patient sizes. The 3-D scans from the GXDP-700 S 3-D can be sliced in any direction so the clinician can view anatomi- cal variations and anomalies that can interfere with a procedure’s suc- cess. The 3-D software is compatible with specialized restoration, digital impression and CAD/CAM programs, and the implant software allows for a choice of multiple implant brands or can be set for the clinician’s favorite brand as well as for surgical guides and milled or standard restorations. All of these digital imaging solu- tions give dentists the opportunity to educate patients so they better understand their clinical conditions, the need for treatment and compli- ance with “doctor’s orders.” With 2-D imaging, the practitioner has the sentativefromAMDLASERS.Inthree years, its popularity has increased, and it has been, according to the CR report, more than twice as popular as a competitive product that has been around for 25 years. “We gave clinicians what they asked for: an affordable dental laser for soft tissue that was easy to use and had world-class training sup- port,” said Alan Miller, president and founder of AMD LASERS. “Picasso Lite delivered what no other laser could and continues to be the top pick against new lasers that are on the market. “CR is the most highly respected global testing facility for dental prod- ucts and is the ‘go to’ report used by the majority of clinicians looking to make educated product purchases.” abilitytoenlargetheimageorzoomin on an area of interest and show small details of the dentition. With 3-D, by being able to see dental issues such as supernumerar- ies and impacted canines, dentists can not only explain the situation to their patients in a more visual way, but they can often avoid exploratory surgery and avoid additional trauma to the patient. The digital format also improves communication between referring dentists because all of the images can be easily and securely transmitted electronically. Withalloftheimagingoptionsthat Gendex has to offer, every dentist can have the opportunity to choose the solution that is the right fit for his/her office. After more than a century of research, development and catering to loyal customers, Gendex continues tohelpdentistsachievemoresuccess- ful treatment outcomes for patients and help to grow the modern dental practice. CR was founded in 1976 by clini- cians to help other clinicians make educated product purchases. CR was organizedasauniquevolunteereffort where clinicians worldwide would unite their expertise for the sole purpose of testing all types of dental products and disseminating results to colleagues throughout the world.
