PracticeWorks is using the spring meeting of the California Dental Association in Anaheim, CA, to introduce the new Kodak 1500 intraoral camera, featuring patent-pending liquid lens technology that instantaneously focuses like the human eye, the company announced.
The Kodak 1500 intraoral camera features autofocus of still images and video, elimination of undesired light reflection, and automatic adjustment to lighting conditions, the company said. Additionally, the liquid lens allows automatic capture of still portraits, full arch, intraoral, and macro views with the help of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) designed to optimize illumination and improve visualization of hard-to-see areas, including cracks and other lesions and potential oral hygiene issues.
The camera also features built-in wireless capabilities, although a "wired" version will also be sold that will include all the same features and benefits except for wireless communication, according to the company.
The Kodak 1500 intraoral camera is currently in user testing and is scheduled to be available for purchase by the third quarter of this year, the company stated.
