The PreXion 3D Cone Beam CT Scanner is a revolutionary dental imaging system that provides three dimensional, high-resolution dental images. The PreXion CT Scanner provides detailed images with significant and precise information compared to a traditional x-ray film. Prexion 3D is an open-environment scan taken in a seated position, with scanning time less than 40 seconds, and significantly lower radiation compared to traditional CT Scans (up to 95% less radiation). This computerized technology produces clear and extremely detailed 3-dimensional pictures of the jaws, illustrating the actual makeup of the teeth and jawbone.
What are the benefits of having a digital 3D C T Scan?
The CT Scan has numerous benefits, primarily when planning for dental implants. The 3-dimensional scan aids in evaluating the facial bone to assess the feasibility of placing dental implants. Also, the images produced help assess the location of the nerves, sinuses, and nose to prevent involvement when placing the dental implants. This 3-dimensional diagnostic tool helps evaluate any abnormalities or pathology that may be present in the bone. Once this three-dimensional scan has been taken it is used to construct a biomodel of the teeth and jaws. With PreXion's clear and 1:1 scale images, accurate measurements assure that the optimum implant is placed. Our patient treatment is enhanced with this powerfully computed tomography technology and its precise measurement tools.
Other benefits include, but are not limited to: SimPlant Technology SurgiGuide:
To complement our digital 3D imaging, our office uses SimPlant software technology that offers a sophisticated tool for accurate planning of implant positioning. SimPlant software is the world's first interactive 3D Implant Planning System for accurate and predictable treatment planning of dental Implants. The position of the dental implant is of particular interest to us, as esthetics and functionality of an implant-supported prosthesis are determined, among other factors, by the implant position in the jaw. By means of computer- and template-planned implantology, we can now achieve esthetic results that could be obtained rarely or not at all with conventional procedures.
No more guessing
SimPlant is precise preoperative planning software that provides an increased level of confidence and an extra margin of safety to our patients.
Good looking results
Real 3D planning allows us to find the ideal position of the implants, while taking into account both clinical and esthetical considerations.
For safe and accurate implant placement SurgiGuide drill guides are custom manufactured for each patient. SurgiGuide turns the planning into reality and will make every implant surgery more safe and accurate. SurgiGuide converts the simulated implant's exact dimensions, including width, angulation and depth to a surgical guide. The SurgiGuide will aid us to drill exactly to the planned implant location. Benefits like shortened surgery time and reduced use of materials are just some of the additional advantages of computerized navigation.
