Schick 33

As a pediatric dentist, you need a digital intraoral sensor that provides you with quality images quickly. With Schick 33, you can show your patients and, more importantly, your parents exceptional images and diagnose caries in kids faster, better, safer and easier than traditional film X-rays.

The right fit for the right image

Additionally, it’s important to have a variety of sensor sizes on hand when dealing with children. The Schick 33 digital intraoral sensor comes in three sizes: 0, 1 and 2. For kids younger than 6 years old, the size 0 is great for bitewings. After permanent first molars are in at 6 to 7 years old, a size 1 can work well. If second molars have erupted at 12 to 13 years old, a size 2 typically works.

These are general guidelines, but it’s important to remember each child has different needs based on their cooperation level, size of their mouth and presence of a strong gag reflex. The right-sized sensor can help you get the right images the first time — easily, safely and comfortably.

Improve diagnostics

Schick 33’s resolution makes it easier for clinicians to diagnose caries and recommend treatment, and the software offers the ability to sharpen images for even more clarity. That makes it easier to pinpoint an area to highlight with parents and patients. When parents can see the caries largely on the monitor, it becomes easier for them to understand your treatment plan.

Save time

Taking and processing a film X-ray used to take about 10 minutes, but with digital radiography, the staff can get an image in seconds. The entire process is much less cumbersome, which means staff can spend more time with patients, which can be priceless when working with kids.

The Schick by Sirona is an innovative and effective solution that is a great fit for any pediatric office, according to the company. To learn more about Schick 33 and other product offerings, visit www.schickbysirona.com or contact your local Patterson representative.
