One Platform Shows the Complete Picture

I can remember having my 2D x-rays on one screen, my 3D image from the CBCT on a second screen, my intraoral scans on a third screen, and my photos in another spot, and I’d have to manipulate all those together so I could identify the issues and show my patients what was happening in their mouths,” recalled Gregory Gillespie, DDS, who practices in Vancouver, WA. “I basically had to be an IT wizard to make it all work!”

It's still a vivid memory, but no longer his reality—thanks to DTX Studio Clinic v4.7, an imaging hub that pulls everything into one unified platform instead of multiple disconnected systems.

For Dr. Gillespie, it makes all the difference in his digital workflow, and there's no turning back.

So Much Information, So Little Time

“Dentists need so much information to make accurate diagnoses—I just don’t see how anyone would not want a platform like this,” said Dr. Gillespie, who feels organization is key when working with data from multiple sources.

“Before this software, we had no problem getting the information, but it was complicated and time-consuming to gather it all together,” he said. “The key is to quickly utilize the data so we can educate our patients—and DTX Studio Clinic allows me to do that.”

A DPS Best Product—earning a score of 4.9 out of 5—DTX Studio Clinic v4.7 is powered by custom-built AI. The software unites 2D and 3D x-rays, photos, and scans into one centralized platform that works with a practice’s existing technology and can be accessed from anywhere. This newest release introduces full-mouth AI detection, organizing findings into an intelligent layout the moment an image is captured.

One-click workflows paired with tools like MagicAssist, which organizes raw data instantly, mean that treatment planning that once took several minutes and multiple clicks can now be completed in seconds. This further expands DTX Studio Clinic's capabilities for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning, especially for complex procedures like implant placement.

“I was more than just surprised—I was shocked at how accurate the implant planning is,” Dr. Gillespie said, “and it’s just one button. You hit ‘go’ and it plans it all for you.”

Less Talk, More Action

Dr. Gillespie believes one factor that increases patients' understanding is the unique, color-coded way that DTX Studio Clinic displays its findings.

"You can have all the information, all the different images, and as a doctor, you can take the time to look at it. But it's really about the doctor-patient interaction," he shared, "making sure patients feel confident that I understand what I'm looking at and can communicate it clearly to them so they understand, too. This software does that."

Dr. Gillespie also has found that there’s less need for talking because the colored images and symbols are so easy for patients to understand.

"Patients are more empowered to make their own decisions regarding their health and treatment," he added. "They're no longer relying on blind faith or just taking the doctor’s word for it, and I think the byproduct of that is more treatment being done because the patient fully understands what's needed.”

3D That Does It All

Dr. Gillespie pairs DTX Studio Clinic with the ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH OP 3D LX, a multimodality imaging platform with 2D and 3D functions. It offers high-resolution scans, 96 customizable fi eld-of-view (FOV)options, and 4 resolutions, including endo and low-dose modes.

“One of the AI functions is that it orients the image perfectly,” Dr. Gillespie said. “It can make those changes for me so I can read the images clearly every single time.”

Along with an optional 15×20-cm FOV—a helpful feature for orthodontics, oral surgery, sinus procedures, or TMJ surgery—the OP 3D LX offers an optional cephalometric modality, as well as panoramic and extraoral bitewing imaging.

“The OP 3D LX gives practices that want to do more the ability to do more,” he shared. “For me, a big takeaway is that I can isolate any area, and if I need to do multiple follow-ups after an implant, I can avoid unnecessary exposure for the patient and not take the full image again,” he explained.

'Razor-Sharp' Images

The third component of Dr. Gillespie’s successful digital workflow is the DEXIS Ti2 intraoral sensor—and its reliability has made it an integral part of his practice’s DEXIS digital ecosystem.

Along with a housing design that’s twice as durable and drop-resistant as previous sensor generations, the Ti2 features a PerfectSize design for one-size-fits-all convenience, a WiseAngle cable that reduces stress on the sensor-cable connection, and CleanCapture technology for high-resolution images with less noise and enhanced anatomical detail.

And with the DEXassist Solution, the Ti2 automatically detects up to 14 AI-supported findings on 2D imaging.

“The clarity of the image is the best feature of the Ti2 sensor,” he shared. “You get razor-sharp images, it’s easy to use, has rounded corners for patient comfort, and delivers everything DEXIS sensors have always been known for."
