28 DIGITAL DENTISTRY Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | 5/2017 FONA Stellaris – the flagship of digital intraoral imaging By FONA Dental FONA Stellaris intraoral sensor is the latest entry in the FONA digital im- aging Solutions range. It is one of the most advanced intraoral sensors cur- rently available in the market. We have asked Dr. Alzbeta Kršáková, who had the chance to try it out, what her thoughts are on the in- traoral sensor and digital intraoral imaging in general. You had a chance to try the Stellaris intraoral sensor, how would you describe it in a few words? Dr. Alzbeta Kršáková: If I had to describe the experience in one sentence, I would say that it is a user- friendly technology which produces high quality images. What do you perceive to be the biggest benefit of digital intraoral imaging? I really appreciate the speed of digital imaging. The processing of images is quick and I can work faster. It is also about convenience as digital images are easier to archive. Which dental cases can you not imagine diagnosing or treating without an intraoral sensor? Sensor is very useful, for exam- ple, during endodontic treatment – whether for diagnosis, measure- ment or assessment of administered therapy. Do you have a tip or a trick to share when working with an intraoral sensor? When working with a digital sen- sor, always plan sensor position and be mindful of cable management before placing the sensor inside the patient’s mouth. You will avoid dif- ficult manoeuvring and the proce- dure will be much faster with better image results. What do you think is ab- solutely essential to know when working with an in- traoral sensor? You need to know and use the rec- ommended settings for your X-ray machine and your intraoral sensor. I can obtain the best images only with the correct settings and proper sen- sor positioning technique. Have you tried other intraoral solutions (plates, film, or oth- er sensors) and if yes, do you have a favourite feature Stel- laris does better? I use both plates and Stellaris sensor in my practice. I like that with the sensor technology I get images very quickly on the screen and if I need more images at once I don’t need to wait to take another exposure. FONA Dental S.R.O.
