Q: How long have you been using digital intraoral sensors?
A: Schick 33 sensors are the 3rd evolution of digital radiology that I have in my office. After using my first digital system from another company for 4 years, I switched to Schick Elite sensors 6 years ago and have been using Schick 33 sensors for the past 3, after a persuasive demonstration comparing the two. I also heard positive feedback from my peers who used Schick 33, which had a big impact on my decision to make the switch. I have to say that I could not be happier, and almost feel guilty about the things I missed using previous sets of hardware.
Q: How would you describe Schick 33’s image quality?
A: The quality of a raw image from Schick 33 is spectacular and provides, hands-down, the clearest images I’ve seen using any digital sensor. As if that weren’t enough, the Sidexis 4 software is also highly robust and allows me to change the settings according to my diagnostic requirements. Using Sidexis 4, I can easily manipulate these excellent raw images and customize them to my specific needs or procedures. In the control panel, I can define the contrast, brightness, and sharpness of how the image is displayed for restorative, endodontic, or periodontic procedures.
Q: What’s the coolest thing about using Schick 33 sensors?
A: Using the Sidexis 4 software with Schick 33 is definitely the best thing about the technology. It houses functions for image management, analysis, and transfer, as well as patient communication. Not only can I bundle my cone beam images, intraoral photos, and other images from my Schick 33 sensor into a single place, but I also can forward and print screenshots of these images right from the software—leading to better patient acceptance, and quicker diagnoses and treatment.
