The DEXIS digital ecosystem: empowering clinicians to manage their entire implant case, from diagnosis to delivery, with one integrated toolset.

DEXIS™ announces a new advancement in implant dentistry workflows with the DEXIS digital ecosystem: an interconnected, AI-powered platform for digital implants—combining cutting-edge CBCT, intraoral scanning, diagnostics, and treatment planning. The ecosystem is designed to empower clinicians to manage each step of an implant case, from diagnosis to delivery, with one integrated tool set.

Women's right to study scientific and medical fields, including dentistry, is now an accepted norm. In Finland today, for instance, women make up 75% of all dentists. However, this wasn't always the case. Women had to fight for their right to work in dentistry, much like they did for voting rights. These women, sometimes called "dental suffragettes," fought tirelessly to be recognized in this esteemed profession.
However, the involvement of women in dentistry dates back to ancient times.

As more doctors embrace 3D imaging to support their digital workflow and deliver state-of-the-art patient care, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is quickly becoming a mainstay in many practices — and for good reason. CBCT technology equips practices with the ability to capture and view exceptionally detailed 3D renderings that support improved diagnostic accuracy and confidence, more predictable treatment planning, and better patient outcomes.

“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."

Intraoral scanners have completely transformed modern dental practices in recent years. But while a practice might find the decision to purchase an intraoral scanner to be a straightforward one, the decision around which intraoral scanner to choose can feel considerably more complicated.

Are dental hygienists’ appointment windows shrinking? In a way, yes.
When you consider the multiple ad hoc requests that can arise combined with the growing trend toward accelerated and assisted hygiene, that appointment window can start to feel smaller and smaller.

Choosing the right intraoral scanner for your dental practice can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to deciding between wireless and wired models. While wired intraoral scanners have been the industry standard for decades, wireless technology has improved considerably in recent years.

An intraoral scanner is a handheld device used to create a digital impression in dentistry. This device has really become essential for every dentalpractice that places a premium on efficient procedures and the patient experience.

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.

DEXIS Imaging Launches DEXIS Days Month-Long Series of No-Cost Virtual Educational Events

The new portfolio has something for every dental professional
The DEXIS IS intraoral portfolio includes three levels of intraoral scanner: IS 3600, IS 3700 and IS 3800W, as well as the new IS Voyager, an all-in-one computer and trolley. From the entry level scanner, the IS 3600, to the recent Red Dot award-winner, the wireless IS 3800W, there is a DEXIS IS scanner to fit any type of practice and provide simpler, digitized workflows that enable better outcomes and improved patient experiences.

The Dental Product Shopper website shares peer reviews of over 2,000 dental products and is highly regarded by the dental community as an unbiased and reliable source of product information. Its review of the OP 3D* highlights the system’s exceptional image quality and operating comfort as a 3-in-1 solution ideal for 2D or 3D imaging.
The 4.7 out of 5 score represents an average of six criteria including workflow simplicity, range of 3D field of view options, image quality, software diagnostic capabilities, case acceptance, and patient accommodation.
