Owandy, SimPlant Pro, Apple put total imaging control in your hands

Owandy is a manufacturer of dental imaging solutions, and its leadership team describes its latest imaging system as being one of the most unique imaging units available today.

According to the company, with the launch of the I-Max Touch 3D panoramic imaging unit earlier this year, dental professionals everywhere have been able to experience unprecedented simplicity and functionality, thanks in part to the innovative product’s SimPlant Pro software.

SimPlant Pro – by Materialise, a supplier of treatment planning software, provides a library that continues to grow, with a combination of more than 8,000 compatible implants and abutments. It creates surgical drill guides (stents) for effective placement planning and technical assistance.

All of this functionality can be easily accessed in the palm of your hand with the new Team-Up! app from SIMPLANT.

The app facilitates team communication on SIMPLANT cases and is described as being an effective communication tool to use with patients to compellingly explain the benefits of the dental implant treatment plan.

This application for iPad not only enables you to share and view SIMPLANT cases but also helps you easily communicate with everybody involved in the process.

Implant surgeons can now easily team up with their referral dentists, labs and other professional colleagues to discuss an implant planning case — all within the secure environment of the SIMPLANT cloud.

Take advantage of the new Team-Up! app from SIMPLANT

Dental professionals who purchase the Owandy I-Max 3D from now until the end of December will receive a free iPad Air to enable them to immediately take advantage of the benefits available with SIMPLANT’s Team-Up! app.

With Owandy’s pursuit of innovation, through the use of controlled laser beams for accuracy, the I-Max 3D panoramic unit allows for universal and precise patient positioning — even for patients with reduced mobility. The acquisition modes feature significantly reduced radiation exposure, resulting in a higher level of patient safety.

The I-Max Touch 3D flat-panel high-definition sensor combines 2-D panoramic and 3-D images acquiring true panoramic and cephalometric X-rays — not just reconstructions — from the 3-D volume. The I-Max 3D offers an enhanced field of view of 9-by-8 centimeters, enabling the entire jaw to be imaged in a single exposure along with 16 panoramic and cephalometric program view options for a more precise diagnosis.

“The I-Max Touch 3D provides an economic solution with high image quality,” says Anish Patel, president of Ashtel Dental/Owandy USA. “The reliable, user-friendly system enables dental professionals to plan an implant procedure quickly, accurately and effectively. The end result is a safer procedure for patients with better outcomes for the clinician.”

The I-Max Touch 3D is the evolution of the I-Max Touch, a 2-D panoramic/cephalometric unit with a long record of success, according to the company.

By changing the sensor, and adding SimPlant Pro 3D imaging/treatment planning software, with a no-charge acquisition PC for volumetric data reconstruction, the original I-Max Touch 2D can be upgraded to provide CBCT (3-D) images. The unit also is 100 percent compatible with the company’s native QuickVision imaging software that is bridgeable to most practice management softwares.
