Blogging from the Ohio State Dental Meeting. I had a chance to learn about the Cadent digital impression system. I was very impressed. There are a few things I would like to see as improvements never the less the system is well designed and provides a high degree if precision. Follow the link below for details.

Finally, a Digital Impression System That Fits Your Practice … and Your Budget.Designed to replace the uncomfortable and imprecise method of conventional impression taking, the Cadent iTero™ digital impression system is an exciting new technology that is light years ahead of cumbersome and expensive digital impression systems available today.

Detects up to 3 times more calculus The DetecTar™ mini is the only electronic dental diagnostic aid available today that can assist clinicians in accurately detecting calculus in a minimally invasive and pain-free manner. This easy to use, cordless device detects up to 3 times more calculus than traditional methods. By quickly and accurately detecting sub-gingival calculus, it helps clinicians reduce the possibility of over-scaling, thereby decreasing root sensitivity and helping ensure proper reattachment of gingival tissue.

One benefit of the florida probe is more consistent and accurate probing. The excerpt below describes the constant 15g pressure. That means that if the probing is done by Shrek, the Princess or even the Donkey the numbers will be consistent.

The Handpiece delivers a standard 15 grams of pressure to provide the ideal pressure for accuracy and patient comfort. The probe records each measurement to 0.2mm accuracy and makes comparisons to previous data “on the fly” to spot change quicker and more accurately.

The most amazing imaging technology now available to dentists is cone beam CT. Imagine the difference between looking at a photo of an object, like a car for example, and handling a complete model of the same car. The photo only allows you to see one side of the car. The model allows you to see the car from any direction and determine depth and relationships which would be impossible using just the photo.
CT stands for Computed Tomography which is a short version of CAT, Computed Axial Tomography.  A CT scan is a diagnostic imaging method in which a computer is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the internal of an object using a series of two-dimensional X-ray image slices taken around a single axis of rotation.
Cone Beam refers to the type of X-Ray projection and is important because it allows users to image a small well defined volume such as the lower face and mouth. Dr. Dale Miles [1], one of the leading US experts in Cone Beam CT analysis notes, “These devices allow oral radiologists to acquire images of only the head and neck region of the patient, at greatly reduced absorbed x-ray doses compared to conventional medical CT, with full 3D volume rendering capability.”
