Clinical Feature you follow the protocol, you avoid errors—even for beginner assistants. The CS 9600 also guides you in using the supports specific to each modality,” said Dr Diss. For instance, with the Face Scan, if the user did not position the correct support on the machine, a red light will alert him that he is using the wrong accessory. FIRST-TIME-RIGHT IMAGING The CS 9600 has a pre-shoot function that helps prevent a bad first image. “You can set a scout view on the scanner to better position your patient. There’s also a system of video cameras that helps you determine the Frankfurt plane for panoramic exams. A similar feature is available to position the field of view for the CBCT,” shared Dr Diss. He noted that if users wish to take a CBCT image positioned towards the sinus, they can move the cross on the patient’s face via the touch screen, and the unit automatically positions to the right area. He added, “Another remarkable feature that sets the CS 9600 apart is its ability to make intelligent recommendations.” After a pre-shoot, the system determines the form of the arch and proposes the settings. “It’s practically semi-automatic. We manage to generate highly reproducible and very high-quality images. So, whether it’s me or an assistant, the system enables us both to obtain the same quality of imaging,” expounded Dr Diss. POWERFUL YET USER-FRIENDLY— SOFTWARE THAT SPEEDS WORKFLOW Dr Diss describes the system’s software as easy-to-use and powerful at the same time. The user is able to choose the most basic of visualisation functions but to get the most from the system, there are many tools to choose from. The software is open too, which means Dr Diss can use it with majority of the implant planning software, facilitating his organised workflow. “I can consult with patients about implants and prepare a treatment plan. I can send them to imaging, which enables me to provide them with a precise cost,” said Dr Diss. Additionally, the system also validates his treatment plan as he can use the software to virtually place the implants directly in front of his patients to educate them on the procedure. “If they accept the plan, my assistant sends it along with a digital impression (STL file)—if it is necessary—from the CS 3600 intraoral scanner,” he shared. 44 DENTAL ASIA MAY / JUNE 2021
Clinical Feature Besides instilling confidence in patients, images from the CS 9600 have the same effect on Dr Diss. He shared, “The system brings me comfort in my work.” ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND CHANGING LIVES Like so many people today, the environment is top of mind for Dr Diss. He recently began replacing plastic cups in his practice with small glasses, which are washed, decontaminated and sterilised. It’s more work, but less waste. Digitalisation also plays a role in the zerowaste process. Dr Diss uses less plaster and fewer materials for both impressions and couriers for cases that involve his prosthetist. All of this is done via the Carestream Dental’s single software platform, which makes the process extremely simple and effective. “It sets the standard. Once I have completed planning my implant through the Prosthetic-Driven Implant Planning module, I export the DICOM file directly into Blue Sky Plan and send it to the lab— without having to revalidate the position of my implant,” he said. Dr Diss stated that the software is also fluid as he can access the images from the CS 9600 and the CS 3600 on all his workstations. “The CS 9600 images are reproducible. There are no errors because this is a reliable machine—one that integrates with my other imaging machines solutions from Carestream Dental. Examinations are very rapid,” he said. With the CS 96000, Dr Diss envisions 10 to 15 procedures per week with 80% of them being implants with surgical guides. “Thanks to the software, which saves us a great deal of time, we can imagine this happening with real precision for each patient. It’s no longer just a diagnostic tool. It is becoming a tool of production— and one that helps us to ultimately provide better treatment for our patients,” he remarked. TRUST AND CONFIDENCE Enabling patients to feel comfortable with the diagnosis and treatment plan is essential to treatment acceptance as it is difficult for them to fully comprehend their clinical situation solely from explanation. Dr Diss, said, “You can talk to them about infection, for example, and that the tooth cannot be saved because there is bone loss. If you can attach an image to the words, immediately the message is much clearer, and you gain their trust. Patients will never commit to a surgery without trusting the surgeon.” “It all contributes to the reduction of our carbon footprint,” he said. Going digital has also impacted the lives of Dr Diss and his patients. “We have a duty to treat our patients according to medically proven data. The data evolves and so must the dentist. It takes a lot of time and energy to change your way of doing things and learn new technology. In the beginning, it actually feels like you’re wasting time; but it’s an investment that pays off in the end,” he shared. He added that he no longer works the same as he did few years ago. In fact, he is much faster and more reliable now. “I value the contribution of Carestream Dental in developing products of genuine quality. They enable me to play a role in changing the lives of my patients. Plus, I can spend the time that I save in better communicating with my employees—and we can all devote a little more time to our families,” he said. DA DENTAL ASIA MAY / JUNE 2021 45
