iCAT FLX V17 CBCT
As the newest full field of view scanner developed by Imaging Sciences International, The iCAT FLX V17 is considered the state-of-the-art digital 3D scanner. It produces the highest quality images with a lower radiation dose than its predecessors, as well as other full field of view cone beam scanners on the market today. An additional advantage of the iCAT FLX is the ability to reduce the field of view to as low as four centimeters.
The iCAT FLX's high-definition, advanced imaging technology can be used by a variety of specialists, including orthodontists, periodontists, oral surgeons, implantologists, TMJ specialists, sleep specialists and general dentists.
The iCAT FLX features an open environment seated position, a typical scan time of only 8.9 seconds and significantly lower radiation doses compared to traditional CT scans as well as other cone beam scanners on the market today. Since the scan time is reduced there is less potential for patient movement that can adversely affect the quality of the image produced. In addition, the immediate three-dimensional reconstruction of a patient’s mouth, face, and jaw areas enhances doctor/patient communication by allowing doctors to share a visual diagnosis with their patients. This gives patients a better understanding of their treatment options and more confidence when going into treatment.
The 3-D reconstruction gives doctors the opportunity to more thoroughly analyze bone structure, tooth orientation, and joint space, and detect and evaluate deformities and pathologies.

Carestream 8100 3D
The Carestream 8100 3D CBCT is the latest small field of view scanner developed by Carestream Dental. The CS 8100 3D CBCT is considered the state of the art scanner for high resolution images specifically preferred by endodontists to visualize root and canal anomalies, root fractures, and other pathologies. The limited field of view enables visualization of the area of interest in 3-D with high definition without extraneous anatomy unrelated to the problem at hand.
The CS 8100 3D is a preferred imaging unit due to its relatively low effective dose of radiation. The technological advances in digital systems have significantly increased the level of detailed clinical information available to oral health practitioners while mitigating the level of patient radiation exposure.

iTero Element
The Element scanner, powered by iTero, is used to take full mouth orthodontic 3-D digital dental impressions. The iTero Element scanner eliminates the need to take dental impressions with impression material. These highly accurate, powder free, digital impressions are taken using laser and optical scanning technology.
Dental digital impressions can be used as a beginning, progress, or final orthodontic study model record. The models can be viewed and manipulated in the free OrthoCAD viewing software.
The iTero scan replaces the need for PVS Invisalign impressions. This highly accurate scan is sent directly to Invsalign who assigns it to the referring doctor's account. The referring doctor can then log into the account and fill out an Invisalign prescription for the patient.
