Long Island City, NY – March 16, 2009 – Sirona Dental Systems, makers of innovative dental digital radiography technology, are proud to announce the addition of two new panoramic bitewing programs (BW1 and BW2). The new programs are available for the ORTHOPHOS® XGPlus and XG 5 panoramic units and allow the practitioner to take a diagnostic image quickly and easily.
The new bitewing programs provide practitioners with the option of taking an extraoral bitewing image when an intraoral image is difficult or not feasible. The programs are easy to use, and are a low-dose alternative for diagnosis in the posterior and anterior regions.
The BW1 posterior program allows for additional diagnostic information compared to standard intraoral bitewings. It is the perfect alternative for patients with challenging intraoral anatomy. With the XG 5, both sides are imaged, while the right, left or both sides can be selected on the XGPlus units.
The BW2 anterior program provides a detailed overview image of the anterior area. It can be used with the edentulous positioning guide for anterior trauma patients. It is a lower-dose alternative to multiple occlusal images when focusing on the anterior region.
“We had a child on whom we couldn’t take an intraoral bitewing image without the patient gagging or moving, so we tried the new bitewing program on our ORTHOPHOS® XG 5 pan unit,” said Dr. Ryan Woodman of Matthews, NC. “The new program worked very well and provided a diagnostic image, in my opinion, quicker and easier for the patient that otherwise could not tolerate the procedure.”
The new bitewing programs extend the digital functionality for every practice. Please contact Sirona authorized dealers for information on the new bitewing programs.
