It allows you to take on the spot OPGs, and is also a handy aid to general treatment planning. We have four surgeries so it is positioned in a common area that\u2019s accessible by all. A technician came out and instructed us on its operation. It\u2019s very easy to use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s so good about it<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"bitem-article-desktop-720x300-in-text\" id=\"bitem-3939450205\"><!-- Bite 720x300 [async] -->\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (!window.AdButler){(function(){var s = document.createElement(\"script\"); s.async = true; s.type = \"text\/javascript\";s.src = 'https:\/\/servedby.engagemedia.com.au\/app.js';var n = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0]; n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n);}());}<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\nvar AdButler = AdButler || {}; AdButler.ads = AdButler.ads || [];\r\nvar abkw = window.abkw || '';\r\nvar plc705185 = window.plc705185 || 0;\r\ndocument.write('<'+'div id=\"placement_705185_'+plc705185+'\"><\\\/'+'div>');\r\nAdButler.ads.push({handler: function(opt){ AdButler.register(165450, 705185, [720,300], 'placement_705185_'+opt.place, opt); }, opt: { place: plc705185++, keywords: abkw, domain: 'servedby.engagemedia.com.au', click:'CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER' }});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>Prior to purchasing this item, we referred patients to the local radiologist. They would visit the radiologist, have the x-ray taken and then have to wait a couple of days for the film to be processed. Now it\u2019s an instantaneous process that can be completed in one visit.<\/p>\n<p>It only takes 14 seconds to scan the patient and by the time we\u2019ve walked back to the surgery, the images are displayed on the monitor. Patients find it very impressive and it\u2019s a great diagnostic tool.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also very good with patients who tend to gag. They only need to bite with their incisors on the edge of a small piece of plastic. For oral pathology, it aids in ruling things out, and highlights things that might need further investigation.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re working with Oasis and the images from the scan are digitally filed in the patient records.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s not so good<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I perform implant work, the Orthophos is insufficient to work out a detailed treatment plan. It\u2019s handy for a quick look but I still refer patients to the radiologist.<\/p>\n<p>You also have to make sure that patients takes off all facial jewellery or artefacts pop up where they shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where did you get it<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sirona.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitemagazine.com.au\/\/\/\"><em>Bite Magazine<\/em><\/a><em> and website is published by <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engagemedia.com.au\/\"><em>Engage Media<\/em><\/a><em> all material is protected by copyright and may not be reproduced in any form without prior written permission.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Dr Nathan Rosenbaum, Carnegie Dental Group, Carnegie, VIC We renovated our practice six months ago and installed the Orthophos XG3 at the same time.
