- A wireless, reusable digital X-ray receptor used for standard adult intraoral radiography, specifically compatible with Air Techniques digital imaging systems, such as the ScanX line
Uses
- Adult Bitewing & Periapical X-rays:
- Size #2 is the standard size for most adult dental procedures, providing the necessary dimensions to capture a full view of teeth and surrounding bone
- Digital Diagnostics:
- Used to capture high-resolution images for diagnosing caries (cavities), assessing bone health, and planning restorative treatments like implants
- General Dentistry:
- Standard in private practices and hospitals for routine check-ups and oral surgery mapping
Features
- Flexible & Ultra-Thin:
- These plates are as thin as a business card (approx. 0.35mm), allowing them to bend slightly for easier placement in the mouth compared to rigid sensors
- Wireless Workflow:
- Completely cable-free, eliminating the common point of failure found in wired digital sensors
- Reusable Technology:
- Each plate is durable and typically rated for over 500 uses, making it a highly economical choice for busy practices
- Normal Light Operation:
- Unlike traditional film, these can be handled in normal room lighting, removing the need for a darkroom
- Diagnostic Quality:
- Captures rich, high-resolution illustrations available on-screen in seconds after scanning
Benefits
- Maximum Patient Comfort:
- The slim profile and rounded corners significantly reduce the gagging reflex and discomfort often caused by bulky, hard sensors
- Cost-Effective:
- Eliminates the recurring expense of film, processing chemicals, and darkroom maintenance
- Efficiency:
- Digital images are processed instantly and can be easily stored, shared, or enhanced using practice management software
- Eco-Friendly:
- Reduces environmental impact by eliminating the need for hazardous chemical developers and silver-based waste
