By Shofu Dental Staff n A recipient of the 2015 Best of Class Technology Award, Shofu’s Eye- Special C-II, the first digital camera designed exclusively for dentistry, is a truly exciting innovation, a game changer for the entire dental office and the laboratory, according to the company. The EyeSpecial C-II was developed with the intent to meet the need for effortless and consistent excellence in clinical photography, case docu- mentation, patient and peer commu- nication, and education. The camera captures high-quality images with ease and convenience, according to the company. It has an exceptional depth-of-field range, smart autofocus and unique flash capabilities that ensure true-color reproductionandsuperbclinicalpho- tography. Like smart phones and tablets, Shofu’s camera is also highly intuitive, user friendly, compact and ultralight weight. The EyeSpecial C-II features eight presetdentalshootingmodes—stand- ard, surgery, mirror, face, low-glare, whitening, tele-macro and isolate shade—eachtoaddressaspecificden- tal photography need. Markedly, two modes — isolate shade and whitening — can make a significant contribution toward efficient in-office communica- tion and peer-to-peer and lab collabo- ration, asserts Shofu. The isolate shade function grays out the gingival part of an image to facilitate shade matching for both the lab technician and the dentist. The whitening mode helps demon- strate the before-and-after whiten- ing, which can be used when discuss- ing the progress of a therapy or as an interactive aid to gain a patient’s acceptance. Designed for comfort and func- tionality, the EyeSpecial C-II exceeds stringent infection control protocols. The camera is water-, chemical- and scratch-resistant and can be cleaned with a disinfecting wipe, a task that is sometimes daunting when performed on traditional photography equip- ment such as the SLRs. Operating Shofu’s camera is also virtually stress-free because no extensive technical knowledge is required to work with the Eye- Special C-II, an attribute that brings consistency and efficacy to treatment planning, according to the company, and allows the clinician to delegate clinical photography tasks to staff members. Shofu’s camera offers numerous features designed to enrich in-office and peer-to-peer collaboration and patient education, according to the company. The LCD screen of the Eye- Special C-II is larger than displays in typical smart phones and SLRs, and it can be operated with a gloved hand. The draw/editfunction enables making notes on images, which can be helpful when discussing therapy options or pointing out problematic areas in a treatment. The camera also has the ability to wirelessly interconnect with other systems in the dental office and laboratory. When equipped with a Wi-Fi card, a photograph captured with Shofu’s camera will instantly appear on connected office devices, including a computer screen, laptop, and an iPad, turning a dental office or a laboratory into an efficient com- munication hub. Whether it is a dentist, assist- ant or hygienist performing clinical photography, case documentation or patient and lab communication, Shofu asserts the EyeSpecial C-II will help effectively harness the many needsofamoderndentalpracticeand laboratory. exhibitors14 ADA 2015 — November 6, 2015 EyeSpecial C-II: Designed exclusively for dentistry Here at the ADA TolearnmoreaboutShofu’sEyeSpecial C-II, go online to www.shofu.com, call (800) 827-4638 or stop by the booth, No. 2022. 5 The EyeSpecial C-II’s isolite mode can change an image, left, to gray out the gingival part, right, to facilitate shade matching. 5 The EyeSpecial C-II.
