DEXIS™ Releases Digital Imaging Evidence
A study comparing the DEXIS™ Platinum Sensor with DEXIS™ Imaging Software and the Schick 33 Sensor with Patterson Imaging Software substantiates DEXIS’ excellence for image quality and comfort.
Hatfield, Pa. — DEXIS, LLC, a brand of the KaVo Kerr Group, has announced the results of its latest round of studies and testing of the DEXIS™ Platinum Sensor with DEXIS™ Imaging Software. The study compared the DEXIS Platinum Sensor with DEXIS Imaging Software and the Schick 33 Sensor with Patterson Imaging Software. The objective of this research was to quantify the performance of each sensor in a way that allowed for a direct, repeatable head-to-head comparison within the boundaries of their cleared indications for use in key aspects of interest like image quality, consistency, comfort and workflow.
For the purposes of the study, comparisons included visible resolution and contrast, dynamic range, contrast-to-noise ratio as well as images captured at a full spectrum of dose settings. The document provides the findings and then explains why these items are important to clinicians. The results allowed DEXIS to conclude and unequivocally state that, “DEXIS Platinum Sensor excels in visible resolution and contrast,” and “DEXIS radiographs are more consistent and clinically useable at a wider range of exposure settings” — this includes lower doses. The result of a broader dynamic range is that practitioners can benefit from a reduction in the number of time consuming, exposure-related retakes, and patients benefit from the reduction in radiation due to exposure issues.
Further, the double-blind comfort study data yielded this: “9 out of 10 people prefer the comfort of DEXIS.” The timed workflow studies proved that DEXIS offers the fastest workflow in both image capture and image use within the respective software programs*.
Over the years, the developers of DEXIS technology have worked very diligently to research and test our products, so that we can say with confidence that we are offering the “best” technology to dentists,” says John Steck, Vice President of Product Development for DEXIS. “Now, not only can we say it, but we can substantiate our claims with study data. We always knew it, but now we are happy that we can prove it.”
