The Kodak 9500 Cone Beam 3D System is looking to revolutionize the field of dentistry.
Simulating proposed dental treatment allows the dental patient to be more certain of the results before they are actually undergoing the procedure.
The images produced by this system are said to be very sharp (down to 2mm’s), offering lots of details. For the general dentist, using the Kodak 9500 can decreases the need for taking multiple x-rays and exposing patients to unnecessary amounts of radiation. The 3D visualization software that comes with the system can also allow orthodontists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons to manipulate the images and to determine the best restorative approach for dental procedures. Individuals looking to have cosmetic procedures performed will see with more accuracy, the before and after results.
The Kodak 9500 Cone Beam 3D System was introduced last year by Carestream Health, Inc. Featuring a user-friendly and stylish design, the system provides innovative features like face-to-face patient positioning that accommodates standing or seated patients, including wheelchair patients, of varying body types and sizes. Program selection with pre-programmed settings occurs directly on the system’s interface, simplifying patient setup and exam preparation. The 3D visualization software is intuitive and easy-to-use, enabling dentists to focus more on diagnosis and treatment.

Until recently, dental fear had been defined as irrational and exaggerated. Recent studies have shown that this was not true.
While controversy does continue to exist with regards to dental fears being seen as irrational, (because of the fear if often caused by previous bad experiences), there have been recognized subtypes of dental fear or phobia. For example “fear of dentists” versus “fear of specific dental procedures”, needle phobia are considered subtypes of dental phobia.
Today, dental fear is defined as an extreme and persistent fear involving dentists, dental procedures, a fear of needles, teeth and situations which act as reminders of a phobic situation. Not surprisingly, the dentist’s drill is often a major factor in dentist fears. Even thinking or hearing about going to the dentist causes some individuals to experience psychological distress. This in turn causes people to avoid going to a dentist until a physical problem becomes too overwhelming to handle. Learn some of the ways to manage this anxiety.
