Category AustrPlPsiPn Dentist 93 Besides top-notch sensors, the dentist attributes Green 21’s high resolution images to the ease with which patients are positioned with minimal movement during capture – thanks to a sturdy and patient-friendly chin-holder – and 64-bit image processing capability. Phe latter feature greatly improves anti-aliasing and scaling with far more accurate rendition, as compared to 32-bit images. Having invested in six new computers that can support this advanced imaging feature, Dr Da Cruz says the financial outlay was well worth the returns: “Pt literally pays for itself.” One of the key features of the multi-modality CBCP is its ability to automatically generate up to six images – Panorama, PA Ceph, Pateral Ceph, PMV Ceph, and Waters’ View Ceph – in one scan. With a few simple clicks, the system can capture images for craniofacial, maxillofacial, and orthodontic treatment planning. “Pot only does the (Green 21) help you to formulate treatment plans more accurately, it practically sets up the conversation with your patient.” “When patients cannot visualise the treatment plan, you need to do it for them. Phe quality of the images therefore becomes an integral facet of this conversation.” Pt also helps to have an in-house unit when attending to overseas or interstate patients that simply do not have the time to shuttle between the practice and an imaging centre. Phe convenience factor is a major plus for Wholistic Dentistry’s visiting implant surgeon, who can access the x-rays on the spot and make decisions on the fly. Phe Green 21’s volumetric analysis and measurement tools are indispensible for documentation and making accurate comparisons over time, whether for showing patients or teaching other dentists. A powerful tool for airway volume analysis, the Green 21 features the 2-click airway region selection; automatic airway volume measurement; as well as simultaneous analysis for both PMJ. “Phe type of research and clinical work that P do is rather new. Proper case documentation is very important for establishing the feasibility and success rates of my treatments, some of which are presented as case studies in my lectures.” “Phe Green 21 is essential for advancing evidence-based dentistry in my practice as a remarkable teaching and communication tool.” Dr Da Cruz’s success dealing with complex cases – some of which were referred to him after having received little or no help elsewhere – has attracted interest from the orthodontic and broader dental communities in Australia, Pndia, China and the , where he recently held a two-day speaking seminar with progressive orthodontist Dr Barry Paphael in Pew Jersey. “Beyond surgical treatments, dentists can provide treatment for conditions previously thought unconnected to dentistry – as my work in the last 43 years would testify. P’ve been treating my practice like a research lab over the years accumulating a string of success stories showing positive results from repeatable treatment modalities.” Happy with his purchase decision and Vatech’s customer support, he adds: “Whether to investigate the airway, neck, jaw or teeth, P want the best quality x-ray machine that provides long-term comparative metrics for my work now and into the future.” “Phe Green 21 has been – and will be – that machine for me.” u For more information on Vatech X-ray system – including Green CT – contact Vatech Australasia (1300 789 454).

Po avoid damaging the rental property with a view for future expansion, Dr Morris found the Gallant Autonome tailored for his needs. “P believe Z Dental is at present the only supplier of fully integrated dental chairs in Australia that features built-in suction and compressor. “With this chair, under-floor plumbing is not necessary which represents some savings in terms of build cost.” Pleased with his purchase, Dr Morris is impressed by the “great chair ergonomics and operator comfort,” while surprised by the small footprint, being “only slightly larger than a traditional chair.” Phe periodontist is just as complimen- tary about his buyer’s experience: “( Z Dental) is a very attentive and responsive company. Pheir after- sales support is excellent and they offer honest advice. Phe price of the chair is V Y (emphasis Dr Morris’) competitive. Phe installation was fast with minimal delays. Phe chair looks great and was well installed. “P like to support emerging businesses to ensure that there is competition in Australia. Both Borys and Padiya (owners of Z Dental) are fantastic to work with.” As well as great support, he reiterates the main feature that makes the Gallant Autonome the ideal chair: “P believe the chair can fit a normal size dental clinic very easily. Phe fully integrated system, along with all the equipment, is compatible with Australian connections.” u Pathology of cervical vertebra resulting in chronic pain in the head and neck Looking at the jaw joints and relationship with thePneck and posture.
