Best Sensor Quality, Improved Caries Detection
<
Heartland Dental Care performed extensive research before selecting KODAK Digital Products for their 200 dental practices. Heartland chose the KODAK RVG 6100 sensor because it offers the highest image quality available, a more comfortable patient experience due to a new sensor design and a new size 0 sensor. In addition, it allows for lower radiation exposure. Heartland also selected LOGICON Caries Detector™ Software to assist their dentists in the difficult task of detecting proximal caries. A clinical study shows that the software enabled dentists to find 20% more cases of caries penetrating into the dentin of permanent teeth than they were able to find without LOGICON Software. The newest version of the software, version 4.0, includes a training wizard that makes it easier to learn the software and automated tools that reduce the time it takes to obtain results.
User-Friendly Products, Outstanding Customer Support
The KODAK 8000 Digital Panoramic System allows the practitioner to obtain high-quality digital panoramic images. The user-friendly interface makes image programming easy, while the face-to-face positioning keeps patients comfortable and minimizes errors. The system also offers low radiation exposure.
Customer support is a major reason that Heartland chose PracticeWorks. "Our affiliated dentists, staff and patients have been extremely pleased with the benefits these technologies, and the support from PracticeWorks has been outstanding, particularly in service and training," comments Dr. Rick Workman of Heartland Dental Care.
Another Large Deployment of KODAK Digital Solutions
