CS 3500 Intraoral Scanner Receives Certification for Use with suresmile® Orthodontic Technology
ATLANTA – The
high degree of precision of the CS 3500 has earned it the coveted
distinction of an OraMetrix Inc. certification for use with its
suresmile® technology.
suresmile
is an innovative system for orthodontists that combines 3D diagnostic
imaging with computerized treatment planning and robotic archwire
customization. The suresmile system enables doctors to pro-actively plan
tooth movement on digital models and customize prescriptive archwires
for precise and efficient treatment. The integration of CS 3500 scans
with the suresmile software means orthodontists will have improved
treatment planning as well as unprecedented control over treatment.
“The
CS 3500 delivers the high resolution images that suresmile needs to
design 3D models and produce precise orthodontic appliances,” Phil
Getto, chief technology officer, OraMetrix, said. “It’s crucial that
models are accurate so that we can measure bracket positions on the
teeth, and, most important, so practitioners can see how the teeth fit
together from every angle and determine the most efficient treatment
plan.”
“The
suresmile certification enhances the CS 3500’s versatility,” Matt
Hendrickson, U.S. orthodontic director at Carestream Dental, said. “The
integration with suresmile enables practitioners to capture
high-resolution images digitally rather than using traditional
impressions, eliminating the need for using impression material, pouring
molds or waiting for stone models to set.”
The
CS 3500 acquires true color, 2D and 3D images that can be used with CS
Model software to create digital models. Requiring no external heater,
powder or trolley system, the CS 3500 features high-angulation scanning
of up to 45 degrees and to a depth from -2 to +13mm. It also features
autoclavable tips available in two sizes—a smaller tip for children or
adults with small mouths and a larger tip for adults.
Carestream

certification for Orametrix’s suresmile technology in April 2013 and
October 2011, respectively. Carestream Dental is now the only company to
have both a CBCT unit and intraoral scanner certified by suresmile.
