Carestream Dental Introduces the CS 9300C

Versatile 3D and Panoramic Extraoral System with Exceptional Image Quality Now Offers One-Shot Cephalometric Imaging

Atlanta, GA – Carestream Dental LLC, the exclusive manufacturer of KODAK Dental Systems, today introduced a digital cephalometric module for its CS 9300 extraoral imaging system released earlier this year. The CS 9300C’s cephalometric imaging enables orthodontists and other oral health professionals to perform a wider range of diagnoses and treatments from their own office, without the need to refer patients to other imaging centers

In addition to 3D and panoramic imaging, the CS 9300C produces best-in-class cephalometric images. Offering the broadest range of image formats from 30 cm x 30 cm to 18 cm x 18 cm, the CS 9300C’s cephalometric module addresses any orthodontic diagnostic and tracing need and even provides an exclusive full cranial option.

Cephalometric images are acquired by the CS 9300C in a single shot, which minimizes distortion and risk of blurred images due to patient movement that are common to units that use scanning technology. The system’s high-frequency generator combined with one-shot cephalometric technology delivers maximum-quality images at a low radiation dose for better patient protection.

“Both the cephalometric and 3D imaging modalities enable practitioners to limit radiation exposure by collimating the imaging area down to a precise region of interest,” said Edward Shellard, D.M.D., chief marketing officer and director of business development for Carestream Dental. “This supports practitioners adhering to the ALARA Principle, or ‘As Low as Reasonably Achievable,’ which dictates that every precaution should be taken to minimize radiation exposure for patients.”

The CS 9300C also offers exceptional 2D digital panoramic imaging and 3D imaging with up to seven selectable fields of view (from 5 cm x 5 cm to 17 cm x 13.5 cm).

The ability to adapt the field of view when using the CS 9300C enables orthodontists to use the system for their specific diagnostic needs – whether conducting an assessment of the maxillofacial complex using a larger field of view or evaluating a single impaction with a focused field scan.

Recognized for its exceptionally high degree of precision, the CS 9300C is one of a handful of advanced 3D imaging systems that is certified by OraMetrix Inc. for use with its SureSmile^® technology. This integration with SureSmile means orthodontists will have improved treatment planning as well as unprecedented control of treatment.

“With its three imaging modalities – panoramic, cephalometric and 3D – the CS 9300C will redefine clinicians’ expectations of excellence,” Dr. Shellard said. “From examining complex impactions to viewing root angulation or inclination, the CS 9300C is the perfect all-in-one system for today’s orthodontic practice.”

The CS 9300C features KODAK Orthodontic Imaging Software, which offers automatic tracing capabilities to help practitioners identify landmark and anatomical structures. Also included with the CS 9300C are three automatic orthodontic enhancement filters that enable practitioners to improve image clarity and outline soft tissue with just one click.
