e live in a 3D world. For example, when
we buy a house, we don't just look at
a blueprint. We walk around the whole
building and look inside each room, viewing them
from all angles. So it makes sense that patients
can more easily understand a 3-dimensional
image of their teeth and jaw. When I can spin and
manipulate that image on my computer monitor
to show them what I'm seeing and explain my
proposed treatment, it's powerful. That's what
CBCT imaging and its accompanying 3D software
bring to the table. It's very difficult to get that kind
of patient engagement and understanding of their
oral health condition with a flat, 2-dimensional
image that, to the untrained eye, looks like a
photographic negative.

Bringing the Technology In-House
For about 4 years, I have been working with the OP300 CBCT Scanner
from Instrumentarium Dental™ and Invivo5 3D software from Anatomage.
In a word, I find what I can do with this technology to be...cool.
For me, 3D images are essential for the kind of procedures I do. Before
I brought the OP300 into my practice, I sent patients to a scan centre
to get the images I needed. But this was inconvenient for my patients.
I then worked with a company that would bring a van outfitted with a
scanning unit to my practice every Thursday. And while the machine was
at my practice location, it still required a second trip for my patients.
Having the technology down the hall makes it both easier for me and for
my patients. If I see a need for a CBCT scan, my assistant simply walks
the patient to the unit, takes the image, and I review it within moments.
My patients are so interested in their diagnosis, they often choose to
wait for me to review the image so I can share the results with them right
away. This technology makes that possible.
Treatment Planning
All 3D systems can capture information and the OP300 offers incredible
image quality, however, using OP300 with Invivo5 puts treatment planning
in a class by itself. Invivo5 is very intuitive and allows me to create an
interface that's most efficient for me. I can toggle between different views
based on what I need at the time. I do expert witness testimony and have
had to use other 3D software systems during that process. As I fumble
through those less-than-user-friendly systems, I end up saying to myself,
"I'm so glad I don't have to work with this every day."
