The new Sopro 595 and 717 intraoral cameras by Acteon® integrate seamlessly with the A-dec 500® and Radius® delivery systems, setting a new standard in dental imaging. Doctors can now operate the camera directly from the delivery system while being fully connected to their treatment room computer. As a result, operators can now view and save the image directly into the patient record, reducing clutter, improving efficiency, and providing clear and simple communication with patients about recommended treatments.
Both the Sopro 595 and 717 offer easy operation, allowing operators to capture and save images from the delivery system foot control or the exclusive, patented SoproTouch sensor on the handpiece. Other top features include the latest LED lighting technology, analog and digital imaging capability, and a quick-disconnect design for easy sharing between treatment rooms.
The Sopro 595 weighs only 2.0 oz. and provides reliable LED lighting and automatic focal adjustments. The image is always sharp with no adjustments or time loss thanks to a large depth of field (5 to 30mm) and high quality optics covering a field of 80 degrees.
The Sopro 717 weighs 2.7 oz. and offers 3 pre-set depth of field selections:
macro (1 to 5 mm), intraoral (5 to 30 mm), and extraoral (30 mm to infinity) for superior images in any position. Because of its cutting-edge LED technology that produces 50% more color-balanced light than conventional LEDs, the 717 also offers the added value of an exclusive shade matching tool called SoproShade. SoproShade technology allows the 717 to double as a shade selection device, simplifying shade-matching procedures for ceramics, composites, and prosthetic teeth.
"Acteon and A-dec have worked together to integrate the advanced functions and control that Sopro intraoral cameras provide into the A-dec 500 and Radius delivery systems." said Kris Christian, Product Manager for A-dec. "In addition to improving ergonomics, this also means a much more streamlined image processboth in importing images into patient records and sharing with labs or insurance providers.
"This new technology is absolutely essential to communicating with patients and giving them confidence in the doctor's recommendations," added Christian. "Together, A-dec delivery systems and Sopro cameras are totally integrated and ahead of the technology curve."
