today Hinman Dental Meeting Atlanta March 17

By Shofu Dental Staff n A recipient of the Pride Insti- tute’s 2015 “Best of Class” Technology Award, the EyeSpecial C-II is the first digital camera designed exclusively for dentistry, according to Shofu Den- tal, the company behind the product. Intended for predictable and con- sistent clinical photography, case documentation, lab collaboration and patient education, the EyeSpecial C-II achieves brilliant images with simplicity and convenience, accord- ing to the company. Equipped with a high-quality sensor and unique FlashMatic module — a proprietary system of flashes and filters — this intelligent camera can demonstrate true-colorreproductionandanexcep- tional depth-of-field range. Like smartphones and tablets, the EyeSpecial C-II is considered highly intuitive and user friendly. It pos- sesses eight pre-set dental shooting modes for efficient dental photogra- phy and features numerous smart functions that Shofu asserts can enrich peer-to-peer and lab collabora- tion as well as patient education. For instance, the unique isolate shade mode grays out the gingival part of an image to facilitate flaw- less shade matching for both the lab technician and dentist. The draw/ edit function enables making notes on images, which can be a value added when discussing a treatment’s options or its progress or when point- ing out problematic areas in the treat- ment modality. Furthermore, for more efficient visual communication, the LCD screen of the EyeSpecial C-II is larger than displays in typical smartphones and SLR cameras, and it can be oper- ated with a gloved hand. With proliferation of HIPAA- compliant Bluetooth and wireless dental-office technologies, Shofu’s camera provides the ability to wire- lessly interconnect with other sys- tems in the operatory and laboratory. When equipped with a Wi-Fi card, a photograph captured with the Eye- Special C-II will instantly appear on connected devices, including a computer monitor, laptop or an iPad, turning a dental office or a laboratory into a communication hub. Designed for comfort and function- ality, the EyeSpecial C-II complies with stringent infection-control pro- tocols. The camera is water-, chemi- cal- and scratch-resistant, and it can be swiftly disinfected with a wipe. Packed with intuitive, cutting- edge functions tailored for dentistry, Shofu Dental asserts the EyeSpecial C-II will help achieve the varied needsofabusydentalofficeorlabora- tory, whether it is the dentist, assist- ant or hygienist performing clinical photography, case documentation, lab collaboration or patient communi- cation and education. exhibitors 4 Hinman Dental Meeting — March 17, 2016 A camera designed just for dentists 5 Depth-of-field range of the Nikon D100 (left) and Shofu’s EyeSpecial C-II (right).

They all want the same thing: to get quick and profes- sional answers to questions about their dental care. However, even patients with dec- ades of history with your practice are not usually known to the front desk until they ask, “Who’s speaking?” and pull up the file. What if you could bypass this time- consuming and impersonal exercise? Sikka Software has a new app, integrated with RingCentral, that automatically displays patient details when they call. Practices can save more than $2,800 a month in staff time by increasing phone efficiencies, as team members no longer need to hunt through files for details. It works through the Sikka Platform Cloud, which connects with 96 percent of practice-management software. Call Optimizer™ helps you: •Knowyourpatient:CallOptimizer automatically displays the caller’s name and contact information. If a memberofafamilyiscalling,thefront desk staff can select the guarantor or patient in question. With a name and contact information, the front desk can address patients in a personal and courteous manner. • Manage and schedule care: Pre- vious and upcoming appointments — as well as recent care notes — are presented, so the patient’s treatment plan can be scheduled and questions can be answered about completed or pending procedures. This ensures yourpatientsreceivethebestpossible care. • Track benefits and balances: Patients often are unaware of remain- ing dental benefits. With this number displayed, patients can feel confident about the costs they will likely incur during care. Accounts receivable information is also presented, allow- ing the front desk to initiate payment. Call Optimizer is available at a special price for the Hinman show of $75, a savings of 62 percent. Prac- tices can save even more when they bundle Call Optimizer with Practice Optimizer™ and RingCentral phone services.
