8 exhibitors Hinman Dental Meeting — March 23, 2018 EyeSpecial adds features for faster and easier use Pre-programmed shooting modes enable digital camera users to navigate through tasks without extensive photographic skills or experience By Shofu Dental Staff n According to Shofu Dental, cap- turing high-quality clinical photo- graphs in a predictable and consistent manner has been the hallmark of EyeSpecial C-2, the first digital cam- era designed exclusively for dentistry. A third-time recipient of the pres- tigious Cellerant’s Best in Class Tech- nology Azard, the EyeSpecial C-2 cap- tures images for case documentation, diagnosis and treatment planning, patient communication and educa- tion, insurance verification, legal documentation and dental lab col- laboration. Proprietary to Shofu’s camera are dental-specific, pre-programmed shooting modes that enable clini- cians, assistants, hygienists and den- tal laboratory technicians to navi- gate through their photography tasks zithout the need of extensive photo- graphic knozledge or experience. For instance, in order to record orthodontic photographs zith the EyeSpecial camera, an operator zill just need to select the button corre- sponding to FACE MODE to capture extraoral images. In a similar method, an operator zill choose STANDARD MODE to achieve anterior and buccal intraoral photographs, and MIRROR MODE to accomplish occlusal pictures. For every step of any photo series, the EyeSpecial zill automatically set the appropriate f-stop, aperture and focal length to deliver an ideal photograph, leaving an operator zith the selection of a pre-programmed mode. Incorporating intuitive, high-tech functions tailored specifically for dentistry, the EyeSpecial camera is designed to handle dental applica- 5 The new and improved EyeSpecial C-3 digital dental camera helps dental practices and laboratories increase patient acceptance and productivity.

Specifically, one of the more useful features of Shofu’s camera is the ISOLATE SHADE MODE, zhich instantly grays out the gingival tissue to improve visual perspicacity for accurate shade analysis and com- munication zith a dental laboratory technician. When combined zith a draz/edit function, zhich allozs for making notes directly on images, this attrib- ute may be of a value for an effective treatment evaluation or a discussion about the progress or challenges in a treatment modality. Equipped zith a cropped-frame, high-resolution sensor and ultra- innovative FlashMatic module, a pro- prietary system of ring and dual-point flashes, Shofu’s camera demonstrates true-color reproduction and an excep- tional depth-of-field range, according to the company.
