lab tribune Dental tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | November-December 20152C < Page 1C Digital imaging constantly improving The latest innovations by Siro- na in imaging techniques have takendigitalimagingtoawhole new level. The Direct Conver- sion Sensor (DCS) is new and absolutely unique in this form. It generates electrical signals directly from X-rays without the previously required inter- mediate stage of irst convert- ing them to light. The image data this yields is signiicantly better in relation to the expo- sure to radiation. The Direct Conversion Sensor generates extremely sharp X-ray images very eficiently. For one panoramic image the Sharp Layer technology, which is also new, uses several thou- sand individual projections that are taken very rapidly from several angles in one rotation and reproduce the individual morphological situation very precisely. The advantages are excellent panoramic images and the pos- sibility of compensating for po- sitioning errors retroactively. the future means integration With respect to the many pos- sibilities for digital imaging di- agnostics, there is a clear trend: More and more processes in dental practices are digital. The next step here is integra- tion. “Our products can be easi- ly integrated with one another,” says Jörg Haist, Head of Product Management Imaging Systems at Sirona. “Our SIDEXIS 4 imaging soft- ware ensures that panoramic and other X-ray data can not only be processed, but also ac- cessed in the treatment center, documented in the practice administration, and used with CEREC.” Thanks to interfaces that have been implemented, Sirona products will remain open for integration of different imaging systems in the future. The beginning of digital panoram- ic images: ORTHOPHOS Plus DS was launched in 1995 and set new standards for whole-jaw scans. Ceramill Dicom Viewer - Ceramill Mind upgrade module for the visualisation of Dicom data by amann Girrbach aG T he Ceramill Mind up- grade module “Ceramill Dicom Viewer” is a visu- alisation and communication software. It allows data from CT or CBCT machines (Di- com format) to be imported, displayed and merged with stl data to make underlying or su- pericial anatomical structures of the patient visible. Different visualisation options enable easier, more precise and therefore more reliable quality of communica- tion between the dentist and laboratory. Three-dimensional ra- diographic images im- ported into the Ceramill Dicom Viewer thus provide information about the paths of the jaw and facial nerves, bite relationship of the teeth to one another or the bone quality. The sections and ana- tomical planes to be displayed can be regulated via recogni- tion of the tissue thickness, which achieves more precise pre-planning of the restoration. Once stored as an stl data re- cord, the patient data can be ac- cessed in the Ceramill Mind for checking or information, e.g. when designing abutments.
