Read up on the latest dental industry trends and news from DEXIS™.

Dentistry is undergoing a digital transformation, as a growing number of practices embrace digital solutions and workflows to drive efficiencies, accuracies, predictable outcomes, and a positive patient experience.

In a recent article published by the Institute of Digital Dentistry (iDD), Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny, the founder and director, revealed what he believes to be ‘one of the hidden gems in the industry.’

Investing in a CBCT device is a significant decision for any dental practice, as these advanced imaging systems are crucial for accurate diagnostics and treatment planning. At DEXIS, we understand the importance of this investment and provide a 5-year factory warranty as standard to ensure a solid foundation of security. However, we also offer an additional 5 years of coverage, extending our comprehensive warranty up to 10 years.

When it comes to improving dental patient outcomes, satisfaction, and retention, taking a proactive approach to general dentistry plays a central role.

It’s never been a more exciting time to be a general practitioner, as a growing number of dental practices expand the services they offer to their patients. According to American Dental Association (ADA) research, approximately 70% to 90% of general dentists perform at least some endodontic procedures in their practices.

From “patients love the technology,” to “an accurate scan on the first try,” to “it has made our lives so much better,” doctors were highly vocal in their praise of the DEXIS™ IS 3800W in a recent Dental Product Shopper Report.

Revolutionizing Patient Care: The Role of DEXIS OP 3D™ EX in Modern General Practices
A growing number of today’s general practices are expanding their services to offer patients a wider and more complex range of care. Providing these services in-house, rather than referring patients to outside specialists, has become an effective growth strategy as well as a powerful way for general practices to differentiate themselves.

“The OP 3D™ LX offers all the powerful features practices know and trust from our OP 3D line, augmented with innovations for expanded flexibility, improved workflow efficiencies, and enhanced diagnostic confidence,” says Laurent Tchang, Vice President, Commercial, Europe at DEXIS. “Developed and manufactured at the PaloDEx site in Tuusula, Finland, the OP 3D LX carries the legacy of Instrumentarium™ and SOREDEX™ forward, under the DEXIS™ brand."

Doctor of Dentistry Yrjö V. Paatero worked at the Department of Dentistry of the University of Helsinki, where he, after the War, was responsible for X-ray examinations and diagnostics. There was not enough time for the research work that Paatero longed for as the days were filled with routine work. X-ray film was placed inside the patient's mouth again and again, as several X-rays had to be taken to determine the condition of the entire dentition. “There must be a faster solution to this” Paatero said, and the seed of panoramic X-ray imaging had sprouted. However, the road to this was not simple.

As dental technology advances, a growing number of today’s dental practices are expanding beyond general dentistry. More doctors are looking to differentiate and grow their practice while meeting a wider range of patient needs in-house. In the process of doing so, they’re also discovering the vital role 3D imaging plays in opening new possibilities for diagnosis, treatment planning and positive patient outcomes.
