Digital X-rays
Digital
x-rays
are an extremely progressive addition to our dental
office. Digital x-rays are computer generated images.
These images require up to 70% less radiation than with
conventional film type x-rays. Instead of using the
traditional silver-oxide x-ray film that must be
developed and then fixed in caustic and environmentally
damaging solutions, the new system takes pictures via a
small electronic sensor and it then instantaneously
transmits a picture of the tooth onto the video monitor
in the treatment room. Therefore, we can see your teeth
and surrounding structures immediately. Not only does
the new digital x-ray eliminate the usual wait for
x-ray film to be processed, but it also is highly
sensitive, so that patients are exposed to even less
radiation than with conventional x-rays.

Sirona Orthophos XG5®
Leading-edge
technology.
In
early 1950, Sirona was the first company to launch
film-based panoramic X-ray systems and - since 1996 -
has been consistently breaking new ground in the area
of digital panoramic and cephalometric radiography as
well. CCD-based Sirona X-ray systems have now been
installed in dental practices worldwide. Day in, day
out these systems demonstrate their enormous
dependability, outstanding ease of use, and perfect
image quality.
All
ORTHOPHOS Panoramic products follow the same main
principle.
The
image quality depends first of all on the
Panoramic unit
- as the source of input. Sirona as co-inventor of
Panoramic X-Ray, owns a great deal of experience which
is build in all ORTHOPHOS products.
Digital
Sirona has pioneered
digital Panoramic and Cephalometric
X-Ray.
