DEXIS expands digital ecosystem with three new innovations to connect and streamline dental workflows
At the start of 2024, DEXIS introduced its digital ecosystem, a suite of tools and software designed to connect and streamline the implant workflow from diagnosis to delivery.
Today, DEXIS announced new offerings across the ecosystem to aid clinicians in important workflow elements from visualizing progressive dental issues to designing chairside surgical guides.
“Our technology makes it easy to organize information and execute treatments, which is at the core of what clinicians expect from us,” said DEXIS President, Robert Befidi. “We are connecting and standardizing the implant workflow while also constantly evaluating our efforts to ensure we provide deeper patient insights and flexible, intuitive solutions that reduce complexity. These three launches are consistent with our focus on continuous innovation across the ecosystem to deliver diagnostic confidence, productivity, and smart simplicity.”
A brand-new X-ray platform is now available, designed specifically for general practitioners looking to expand their diagnostic capabilities with 3D imaging. The ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D™ EX captures consistently accurate images through a simple, easy-to-learn workflow. The unit has a wide range of field of view sizes to support multiple clinical indications including implant placement, endodontics, periodontics, and analysis for airway and TMJ. Early adopters of the OP 3D EX have reported positive feedback:
“When choosing a CBCT, the key factors for me were a large sensor, predictable acquisition, stellar image quality and intuitive software that wouldn’t interrupt my workflow,” says Dr. Tyler Tolbert of Smile Now Dental Group. “Once the OP 3D EX got here and we started taking some scans, I thought to myself, ‘We really made the right choice here!’”
In addition to new hardware, a brand-new software release will provide advanced tools to plan and execute same-day, prosthetically driven implants.
Serving as the unifying software and central hub of the ecosystem, DTX Studio™ Clinic stores and manages all patient data as well as helps clinicians execute each step of the implant process from diagnostics to delivery.
The software’s new functionality allows practitioners to plan an implant treatment and generate a surgical guide chairside – all in less than 3 minutes. Clinicians can virtually extract teeth, adjust photorealistic abutments and crowns, and create an automated surgical guide that can be sent to a lab or produced in-house for same-day delivery.
“We were able to implement the OP 3D EX quickly and start taking scans largely due to the included DTX Studio Clinic software,” said Dr. Nicholas Varney of Varney Dental. “Once we got going, we found that so much of the work involved in prepping a 3D scan for confident diagnosis was done by the software automatically. DTX Studio Clinic has improved how we work in all aspects – communicating with patients, implant planning and even treatment team collaboration.”
In addition to 3D imaging enhancements, an intraoral scanning software update offers scan quality and usability improvements as well as clear visualizations of progressive dental issues over time, through a new tool called Oral Compare. Additionally, the software’s new integration with SmileFy allows for the ability to simulate treatment outcomes chairside, giving patients further confidence in proposed treatment plans.
Clinicians also have the ability to access their intraoral scan data through a newly launched Cloud solution – DEXIS IS Connect Cloud. Datasets can easily be shared with partners, and clinicians can access their intraoral scan data anytime, anywhere, through the Cloud.
