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

A leading CBCT solution, the DEXIS ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D™ LX has just introduced a brand-new feature that—in the words of Dr. Andrew Stiles, owner of Coral Surgery in Coral Springs, FL (USA)—“is like we’ve suddenly put on glasses when we’re looking at scans.”

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.

For over 20 years, DEXIS has been a leader in digital intraoral radiography and diagnostic software. Since 2022, the DEXIS brand has expanded to include our comprehensive portfolio of imaging solutions, including CBCT units, handheld x-rays, intraoral scanners, sensors, and navigated surgical solutions. We have united the top brands in dentistry, including Gendex™, Instrumentarium, SOREDEX™, i-CAT™, and NOMAD™ under one umbrella.

Gender equality in dentistry has made significant strides globally and in Europe. The number of women working in dentistry has notably increased, with up to 75 percent in Finland. Various estimates suggest that women in dentistry could make 40% of all professionals in the field in Europe. Given that the first female dentists appeared in some European countries only a hundred years ago, the progress made is truly remarkable. However, in terms of opportunities, income, and career development, there is still a lot of work ahead.

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.

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."
