  2. Low Radiation Dose:

    • The machine uses Low Dose Technology, reducing radiation exposure for patients while still producing high-quality images.

    • This is especially important in a dental setting where patients may require frequent imaging.

  3. High-Resolution Imaging:

    • It offers high-resolution 3D images with excellent detail, ideal for diagnosing complex conditions such as impacted teeth, fractures, and other pathologies that require a high level of diagnostic clarity.

    • The system provides image optimization to enhance diagnostic accuracy without compromising quality.

  4. User-Friendly Interface:

    • The Orthophos SL 3D is designed with ease of use in mind, featuring a touchscreen interface for intuitive operation.

    • It allows for automated exposure settings, making it easier for dental professionals to use the system effectively with minimal training.

  5. Multifunctionality:

    • The machine supports panoramic, cephalometric, and cone beam CT (CBCT) scans, making it a versatile tool for various dental specialties.

    • The cephalometric imaging helps in orthodontic diagnosis by providing lateral and frontal views of the skull, aiding in treatment planning.

  6. 3D Image Segmentation and Software Integration:

    • The system comes with advanced software that enables 3D image segmentation for a clear visual representation of specific regions of interest.

    • It can be integrated with treatment planning software, ensuring that the information obtained from the X-ray is used effectively for diagnosis and surgery planning.

  7. Real-Time Image Preview:

    • The system provides real-time previews of the images, allowing for immediate review and adjustments, which streamlines the diagnostic process and enhances workflow.

  8. Flexible Field of View (FOV):

    • The machine offers various field-of-view (FOV) options, allowing for focused imaging of specific areas of interest. This is especially beneficial when performing implant planning or evaluating specific regions such as the jawbone or teeth.

Applications of Orthophos SL 3D:
  1. Implantology:

    • The Orthophos SL 3D is particularly well-suited for implant planning, providing detailed imaging of bone structure, nerve paths, and surrounding tissues to ensure precise implant placement.

    • The 3D data enables the creation of virtual implant planning, improving the accuracy of surgeries and patient outcomes.

  2. Orthodontics:

    • For orthodontists, the Orthophos SL 3D provides essential imaging for treatment planning, especially in evaluating the alignment of teeth, jaw relationships, and craniofacial structure.

    • The cephalometric feature helps in assessing growth patterns, facilitating treatment for patients of all ages.

  3. Oral Surgery:

    • This system is ideal for oral and maxillofacial surgeons to assess and plan complex surgeries, such as wisdom tooth extractions, jaw surgeries, and trauma cases.

    • The 3D views provide a comprehensive view of bone structures, facilitating detailed pre-surgical planning.

  4. General Dentistry:

    • In general dental practice, the system is used to detect cavities, fractures, infections, and other dental pathologies that are difficult to detect with 2D X-rays.

    • It is also used for comprehensive evaluations of the patient's oral health, aiding in preventive care and treatment planning.

  5. Endodontics:

    • For root canal treatment, the Orthophos SL 3D can provide detailed images of the root structure, helping to identify problems such as fractures or abscesses in the bone.
