Looking back on her clinical training, Kelly Tanner, PhD, RDH, vividly remembers a caveat when learning how to capture quality intraoral photographs: “We would always hold our breath to prevent making them blurry,” she said.
Already accustomed to the benefits of using an intraoral camera in daily practice, Dr. Tanner was particularly impressed with how easily she could take detailed, high-resolution images using the ACTEON C50. “I started using it a few weeks ago, and we can finally breathe now!” she joked. “The C50’s autofocus feature helps us take photos so quickly that it doesn’t matter if the clinician or the patient moves a little bit—the image clarity is still off the charts.”
Remarkable Clinical Versatility
The C50 intraoral camera is designed with 4 vision modes to effectively diagnose a large range of cases, including DAYLIGHT mode, DAYLIGHT+ mode, PERIO mode, and CARIES mode. With that, clinicians can also capture 5 focal views—macro, intraoral, tooth, smile, and portrait—and quickly switch between these vision modes in just seconds.
“I love the C50’s versatility. It’s an all-in-one solution, and I can get the precise field of vision I want with the simple click of a button,” Dr. Tanner said. “The CARIES mode adds another positive component to my workflow, enabling caries detection with fluorescence LED technology.”
Trusted Excellence
From treatment planning to case acceptance, the C50 facilitates the clinical evaluation process while enhancing patient communication and engagement.
“I recently saw a patient with severe amelogenesis imperfecta,” Dr. Tanner re-called. “With the C50, I was able to show the patient their tooth structure, where the areas were slightly hyperplastic due to the condition, and contrast the condition with active inflammation to provide them with customized oral health instructions. The images show any progression or improvements from one visit to the next, making it easier to motivate our patients.”
Ultimately, Dr. Tanner concluded, “The ACTEON brand holds a lot of integrity, recognized by clinicians for its high-caliber products. The C50 is a case in point. Its crystal-clear image quality is better than anything I’ve seen to date.”
