Carestream Dental has launched two new products at this week's American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) Annual Session in New Orleans.
The products are an updated version of the CS 9300, a multimodality imaging system that scans patients using a lower radiation dose, and the new CS Model digital design software that can be used to create orthodontic appliances.
The CS 9300 has 3D, 2D, and optional one-shot cephalometric imaging capable of capturing images in just over a second. It also features five field-of-view sizes, autolandmark detection, and lateral, oblique, frontal (AP/PA), submentovertex, and carpus views.
Existing CS 9300 customers will have the option to upgrade their current unit to include the Fast Scan capability for lower radiation dose.
CS Model is Carestream Dental's first CS Solutions computer-aided design (CAD) product designed with orthodontists in mind, the company noted. Combined with Carestream Dental's 3D scanning solutions, CS Model software enables practitioners to quickly create digital models, review and store them electronically, and produce orthodontic appliances through preferred labs.
Once digital impressions are captured with an intraoral scanner, such as the CS 3500 of the CS Solutions portfolio, or traditional impressions are scanned with a cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging system, such as the CS 9300 or CS 9000 3D, orthodontic practices can use CS Model. The software takes basic distance measurements, including overjet, overbite, pressure map, arch length, tooth size, crowding measurement, and more, to further improve clinicians' diagnostic capabilities.
CS Model integrates seamlessly with Carestream Dental's orthodontic imaging portfolio and CS OrthoTrac software, as well as other leading practice management software. The software is also compatible with other open CAD/CAM systems that produce orthodontic appliances.
