DEXIS ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D™ EX

The new DEXIS ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D™ EX imaging system is part of the company’s expansion of its digital ecosystem designed to aid clinicians in important workflow elements from visualizing progressive dental issues to designing chairside surgical guides. The x-ray platform, now available, is designed specifically for general practitioners looking to expand their diagnostic capabilities with 3D imaging. The system captures consistently accurate images through a simple, easy-to-learn workflow. The unit has a wide range of field of view sizes to support multiple clinical indications including implant placement, endodontics, periodontics, and analysis for airway and TMJ. In addition to new hardware, a new software release will provide advanced tools to plan and execute same-day, prosthetically driven implants, according to DEXIS. Serving as the unifying software and central hub of the ecosystem, DTX Studio™ Clinic stores and manages all patient data as well as helps clinicians execute each step of the implant process from diagnostics to delivery.

The DEXIS ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH OP 3D EX makes it easy to capture high-quality images with fast scan times while providing user-friendly features throughout the entire dental imaging workflow. Clinicians can analyze clear, accurate 3D scans and diagnose confidently thanks to the flexible field of view sizes and advanced filters, both in the device as well as within DTX Studio Clinic. Examples of some filters include Metal Artifact Reduction and Implant Contrast Enhancement, and Edge-Preserving Noise Reduction.

// Foldable Toothbrush

Travel Toothbrush
Doctor Plotka’s Mouth Watchers Travel Toothbrush is TSA-friendly and small enough to keep in a purse or backpack. The Travel Toothbrush features a foldable design for easy packing and its silver-infused bristles naturally eliminate 99% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi from your toothbrush within 6 hours, according to the company. The brush’s flossing bristles are designed to reach deep into grooves, under the gum line, and between teeth to break up plaque and brush away food residue before it gets a grip on your teeth. The bristles are made of high-quality polyester to be more resilient and can last longer than a typical nylon brush.

While many travel items are made to be single-use and have harmful effects on the environment, Mouth Watchers are described as earth-friendly travel essentials.

All of the Mouth Watchers’ products are available on Amazon and BESTBRUSHEVER.COM, and you can also find Doctor Plotka’s toothbrushes at Sprouts Farmers Market and Wholefoods Market.
