New product offerings help streamline workflow and improve doctor-to-patient communication.

ATLANTA, Georgia--Carestream Dental has introduced five additions to its intraoral imaging system, intraoral camera and software suites to help streamline workflow and improve doctor-to-patient communication.

The products were slated to debut at the 147th Annual Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting in Chicago.

During the Chicago Midwinter Meeting, the Carestream Dental team planned to showcase new solutions, including:

* The compact CS 7600 digital intraoral radiography system, which helps reinvent imaging plate technology by improving usability, productivity, and security. This cost-effective system’s patented intelligent workflow technology prevents plate mix-up and reduces operation time. The CS 7600 is fully automated and as easy to use as film with the benefits of digital imaging.

* The CS 1600 is a multi-use intraoral camera that combines exclusive, patented caries detection technology with Carestream Dental’s image quality. With a wide focus range (1 mm to infinity), the camera takes a leap forward in dental care. Dentists typically must rely upon traditional, more subjective methods of caries detection. The camera features the same liquid-lens autofocus technology as Carestream Dental’s 1500 Intraoral Camera, as well as an 18-LED illumination system and an optional polarizer filter to reduce glare.

* An additional new intraoral camera, the CS 1200, is easy to use and provides practitioners with an affordable entry point into digital imaging. The CS 1200 captures crisp, clear images. The camera’s wide focus range captures a variety of images including macro, single teeth, arches and smiles, and it has the ability to store up to 300 images within the camera.

* Logicon Caries Detector Software, an FDA-approved caries detection software, is available in an automatic version. This software serves as a computer-aided detection tool that is clinically proven to help dentists find more interproximal caries on intraoral radiographs. This new version of Logicon Software improves practice efficiency with the ability to automatically run the detection algorithm on applicable tooth surfaces within a radiograph and display the results, with a single click.

* For use with Carestream Dental’s RVG 6500 System, the RVG Mobile application enables dentists to review images chairside on an iPad3, helping improve patient communication and case acceptance. RVG Mobile also provides remote access to dental imaging software files, so stored images can be easily transferred to practice computers for diagnosis and archiving. This solution cuts practice equipment costs since extra monitors are no longer needed.
