OREM, UT, USA: Curve Dental, developers of Web-based dental software, announced its new digital imaging technology has received the Pride Institute’s Best of Class Technology Award for 2011 in the Emerging Technologies category. “We’re honored to have been selected by the Pride Institute and recognized for the revolutionary digital imaging technology we’ve developed,” said Jim Pack, CEO of Curve Dental.

“We are confident that our new digital imaging features will change the way dentists capture and store X-ray, intraoral and panographic images,” Pack said. “Because our technology leverages the many advantages of the cloud, a dentist doesn’t need a server to capture images, doesn’t need to worry about backups, and doesn’t have to deal with storage hassles. We’re honored to have been recognized by the Pride Institute for our accomplishments.”

A panel of dental technology experts, organized by the Pride Institute, a dental practice management consulting firm based in Novato, California, selected this year’s winning products through an unbiased, rigorous assessment selection process. The winning technologies were selected by majority vote and divided into four categories: Foundational, Diagnostic, Therapeutic, and Emerging.

The Pride Institute Best of Class Technology awards were launched in 2009 as a new concept to provide an unbiased, non-profit assessment of available technologies in the dental space. Winners of the award are invited to participate in a technology fair showcased at the American Dental Association’s annual meeting. “We deeply felt a gap in the area of technology education and integration, said Lou Shuman, DMD, CAGS, President of the Pride Institute. “We feel the technology awards and fair were an ideal model to fill that gap. Pride Institute’s commitment is to provide the finest information and counsel in all areas of practice management.”

The panel consists of seven dentists with significant knowledge of and experience in dental technology, including Dr. Shuman; John Flucke, DDS, writer, speaker and Technology Editor for Dental Products Report; Paul Feuerstein, DMD, writer, speaker and Technology Editor for Dental Economics; Titus Schleyer, DMD, PhD, Associate Professor and Director, Center for Dental Informatics at the University of Pittsburg, School of Dental Medicine; Marty Jablow, DMD, technology writer and speaker; Para Kachalia, DDS, Director of New Technology at the University of the Pacific, School of Dentistry; and Larry Emmott, DDS, technology writer, speaker and dental marketing consulting. “I feel very fortunate that a panel of this magnitude has agreed to contribute to the selection process,” said Dr. Shuman.
