Just introduced by Gendex, the GXS-700 sensor family has its roots in a strong and trusted lineage of imaging excellence, and it is the company’s eighthgeneration digital sensor.
The GXS-700 system captures and delivers real-time high-resolution images with remarkable clarity and detail, providing more than 20 visible line-pairs per millimeter. State-of-the-art sensor technology makes such capture virtually effortless for bitewings, and even for challenging areas such as third molars and long-rooted canines.
By enhancing imaging quality, the Sensor’s advanced CMOS technology elevates performance while providing invaluable diagnostic and therapeutic support. And, because the sensors work within a wide dynamic range of x-ray exposure settings, clinicians can feel comfortable expecting consistent image quality and repeatable results.
SPECIAL PATIENTS, SPECIAL NEEDS
A child’s first dental visits can set the stage for a lifetime of positive experiences with dental professionals or for lifelong fear and avoidance of dental care, which all too often leads to poor dental health.
The 2 sizes of the ergonomically designed sensors (sizes 1 and 2) accommodate both children and adults, enabling positioning that is both precise and comfortable. The sensors’ rounded corners and smooth edge finishes comfortably fit the anatomy of the oral cavity. They fit easily and securely into their custom holders, and sensor lifespan is maximized by the use of durable materials and components.
Designed specifically for the pedodontist, the 25 mm x 37 mm GXS-700 size 1 pedo sensor is the closest in size to the x-ray film most commonly used in children, enabling comfortable positioning in even the most distal portions of smaller mouths, and creating a more positive x-ray experience. Even the youngest of patients are likely to feel less apprehensive once they experience the speed and comfort of digital radiography with the GXS-700.
Of course, it is the parent who ultimately makes decisions about continuing dental care. In addition to the reassurance of knowing that a child is comfortable and not fearful, parents (and other concerned adults) also will be reassured to know that, compared to traditional film, the use of digital radiography can significantly reduce patient exposure to radiation (while eliminating the need for staff to work with film-processing chemicals).
EASE OF USE: WORKFLOW AND PRACTICE INTEGRATION
Whether “migrating” from film or upgrading an existing digital system, GXS-700 is engineered to enable integration into practice management systems more easily and seamlessly than ever before. Direct Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity saves valuable time regardless of the type of appointment, and it eliminates the need for costly USB controllers, adaptors, and docking stations. These portable sensors can easily be carried from operatory to operatory. A wall-mounted cradle provides a convenient and safe way to store both the sensor and the USB connector.
The unique and innovative “Always Ready” feature recognizes the presence of radiation automatically; it begins image acquisition without initiating the capture through software or hardware interfaces. The captured images appear instantly, providing the clinician with immediate feedback during both routine appointments and time-sensitive emergencies. Less time spent on imaging creates more time for patient interaction (and additional appointments). This, in turn, enhances quality of care and generates good will among patients. —Laura Bruck
