Independent study recognizes extreme low dose capabilities of Carestream Dental’s CS 9300 Low Dose Mode

Recent studies have confirmed that the CS 9300 family of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems can provide 3D exams at up to 85% lower dose than traditional 2D panoramic imaging. The research, conducted by John Ludlow, DDS, of the University of North Carolina’s School of Dentistry, Chapel Hill, found that 3D images captured using the Low Dose Mode for a 5×5 cm adult exam provides an effective dose of just 3 microsieverts (µSv).1
Dose-saving algorithms and noise reduction processing enables the new Low Dose Mode to drastically reduce the dose and scanning time of the CS 9300 — between 73% and 95% as compared to standard acquisition mode2 — while maintaining diagnostic image quality. Low Dose Mode is available for 17×11 cm down to 5×5 cm scans and covers multiple applications such as implant planning; follow-up exams for orthognathic, maxillofacial surgery, or implant; analyzing skeletal symmetry; assessing airways; evaluating impacted teeth and supernumeraries; and pediatric examinations. An additional benefit of the new Low Dose Mode is that existing units in the CS 9300 family can easily be retrofitted with the module, so that doctors can ensure they’re treating their patients with the lowest dosage possible. For more information, call 1-800-944-6365, or visit www.carestreamdental.com.

J. Morita USA introduces AdvErL Evo

J. Morita USA has introduced AdvErL Evo, an Er:YAG laser effective for a wide variety of applications on both hard and soft tissue and clinically ideal for periodontal treatment. AdvErL Evo eliminates the vibration of a high-speed handpiece, providing a comfortable laser treatment option. Its wavelength is readily absorbed by water and efficiently vaporizes soft tissue. This unit offers a wide variety of tip options, adding to its versatility, with an extensive selection for periodontic procedures. Applications include removal of subgingival calculus, diseased, infected, inflamed, and necrosed soft tissue within the periodontal pocket, subgingival calculus, and granulation tissue from bony defects. It may also be applied for soft tissue curettage, sulcular debridement, and osseous crown lengthening. Most notably, AdvErL Evo has been studied and recognized clinically in the effective treatment of peri-implantitis, a challenging disease leading to bone loss around an implant. With use of AdvErL Evo, a method has been found to regenerate tissue and permanently remove bacteria with a low-heat treatment process. Information about this study, and other peer-reviewed clinical articles, can be found at www.morita.com/usa/laser. In terms of patient benefits, AdvErL Evo is virtually painless. There is far less trauma compared to other laser types, as vaporization is concentrated at the surface of the tissue. The energy does not penetrate and damage deep layers of tissue, nor does it disperse widely to the adjacent area around the irradiation target.
For more information, call 877-JMORITA (566-7482), or visit www.morita.com/usa/laser.
