Clon 3D – For Dentists

July 30th, 2007 · No Comments

I just received a flyer on the following new product. I have been a fan of ShadeVision [1] from X-Rite for years. This appears to be similar.

The patented SpectroShade™ system lets you confidently match the shades of natural teeth with a variety of restorative materials including the most popular composites, porcelains, and denture teeth.

StereoImaging Corporation

July 3rd, 2007 · No Comments

Dentists know that an enlarged view of the operative field enables both higher quality and faster treatment. Most have recognized and are now familiar with the advantages of using a stereoscopic microscope for applications where loupes do not provide sufficient magnification.A stereo microscope allows you to judge depth and vary the level of magnification to the task at hand. Unfortunately, it also affects the way you work because it is required to be between you and the patient, limiting your field of view and limiting your choice of postures.To address these issues, StereoImaging has developed the DentiMag3D™. Using our proprietary stereoscopic digital camera technology, we have developed a stereo video zoom microscope for use in dental surgery and procedures. The DentiMag3D™ is ideal for sharing the image with multiple users, students, or the patient, where everyone has depth perception! The DentiMag3D™ does not attach to your current optical microscope, but provides a complete and comprehensive replacement for it, upgrading your surgical suite to a fully digital environment.

Digital Gnathology

October 28th, 2006 · No Comments

BioRESEARCH [1] has a complete line of diagnostic tools similar to the Myotronics K-7. These include a joint vibration analyzer, an EMG and an array called the JT-3D to track mandibular movements. Recently they also started to offer the Tekscan T-Scan II. This device records occlusal pressure.
You can use these instruments with a Tens unit to create a myofunctional occlusion or with more traditional occlusal systems. Either way they give us accurate diagnostic information we could only guess at in the past.

Florida Probe has a very nice feature that almost no one is aware of. The probe allows users to quickly and accurately record gingival pockets depths and makes great perio charts, but there is more. The Florida Probe software has some exceptional patient education videos built into the program. These are simple and easy to understand. They make using the probe and explaining the significance of periodontal disease easy and fun. Check it out here. [1]
