One Scanner, Many Specialties

Since its commercial introduction in 2001, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has found increasingly widespread use among dentists in the United States. With unparalleled imaging capabilities and low radiation risk, CBCT empowers practitioners to improve diagnosis and treatment planning and ultimately provide better, safer care.

PreXion, a leading developer of CBCT scanners with over 15 years of experience in 3D DICOM image reconstruction processing and software visualization, has been at the forefront of the CBCT revolution. The company’s flagship product, the PreXion3D Excelsior CBCT Scanner, is an exceptionally versatile device that showcases CBCT’s potential across a range of specialties. The scanner comes bundled with PreXion3D Viewer, powerful visualization software that promotes greater diagnostic accuracy and case acceptance.

Whether you practice endodontics, orthodontics or periodontics, PreXion3D CBCT can change the way you approach diagnosis and treatment planning. PreXion3D technology enables you to view teeth from virtually any angle, eliminating surprises. High-quality imaging of the MB2 canal, split root systems, multiple root exits and more make endodontic success more attainable than ever.

For orthodontists, PreXion offers the benefits of 1:1 geometry and precise measurements of teeth in three dimensions. Relative tooth position, localization of ectopic, impacted and supernumerary teeth along with sinus and airway imaging become possible with PreXion3D CBCT. Periodontists can more easily identify defects and help patients better understand the concept of “pockets.” Moreover, your hygiene department will welcome the diagnostic advantage they gain when using PreXion3D CBCT to treat deep pockets.

PreXion3D CBCT’s advanced visualization tools also have impressive applications in implant dentistry and prosthodontics. Dentists of both specialties can benefit from the increased case acceptance afforded by presenting PreXion3D CBCT’s crystal clear, detailed images to patients. Comprehensive imaging provides implant dentists the opportunity to make implant site selection and prosthetic choices with confidence, eliminating contingency treatment plans and surprises during surgery. This also means less surgical trauma and exploratory surgery for patients. PreXion3D CBCT likewise allows prosthodontists to streamline their workflow and plan cases more precisely. PreXion3D Viewer DICOM scans can be readily exported to third-party CAD/CAM software for merging data and integrated with all DICOM compliant third-party implant surgical planning software.

As it is the current “gold standard” for dental imaging, oral and maxillofacial surgeons can employ PreXion3D CBCT to elevate patient care. Highly-accurate 3D images give you access to a wealth of information and remove the guesswork from the equation. PreXion3D CBCT makes it easier to diagnose and treat impacted teeth and third molars and can help you determine whether sinus lifts or bone grafts are needed. The technology can also be utilized to treat TMJ patients and aid in designing and positioning corrective appliances.
