NOMAD X-ray saves time, money The NOMAD Pro® Handheld X-ray System by Aribex has become the choice of thousands of dental practitioners across the country for its incredible portabil- ity, convenience, safety and ease of use. With its full-color LCD user interface, preset exposure set- tings and additional time-saving features in a sleek, lightweight design, the NOMAD Pro has set a new standard for intraoral radiog- raphy. The NOMAD Pro allows the den- tal technician to stay right next to the patient during the radiograph- ic procedure. This saves time for the operator, shortens the time the patient has to sit still with film or a sensor in his or her mouth and reduces retakes. The device’s rechargeable bat- tery gives hundreds of diagnostic- quality radiographs with a single charge. “The NOMAD Pro has forever changed the way that dental radi- ography is performed by allowing an operator to safely stay in the room during a dental X-ray pro- cedure,” said Dr. D. Clark Turner, president and chief executive offi- cer of Aribex. “It has become a sta- ple in dental offices everywhere.” NOMAD Pro is designed for general purpose dental use and is ideal for use with children, sedated patients or special needs patients. Weighing just five and a half pounds, the NOMAD Pro can easily be used in the office and then taken to a hospital, nursing home or any location for treat- ment at the point-of-care. In the office environment, the NOMAD Pro has taken the place of multiple wall-mounted X-rays, providing enhanced convenience and lower cost. Dr. Joseph Hidal- go of Plano, Texas, enjoys the value of the NOMAD Pro. “When I built my office, I had to decide whether to use wall- mounted X-ray machines or go with the Nomad Pro handheld X-ray. Now that we are using the Nomad Pro on a daily basis, I am very glad that we chose to use it. “One NOMAD Pro saved the money in construction costs vs. the cost of multiple wall-mounted X-ray machines for a four-oper- atory solution we have in our practice.” Because it is so easily transport- able, the NOMAD Pro has accom- panied dental practitioners on countless humanitarian missions around the world, allowing den- tists to practice in remote areas where conventional X-ray devices could never go. The NOMAD Pro incorporates modern internal shielding to block radiation leakage and a backscat- ter shield to protect the operator from X-rays scattered from the patient. Numerous independent tests have shown the NOMAD Pro to be safe for both the operator and the patient. DT Industry News DENTAL TRIBUNE | September 201040A (Photo/ProvidedbyAribex) ADA BooTH No. 4336 DéPlaque introduces an innova- tive system of components for the planning and positioning of guide posts and guide sleeves in surgical templates with use of three-dimen- sional cone-beam X-Ray imaging for precision implant placement. This is a technique that allows you to fabricate, evaluate, correct and position implants precisely right in your office or by your lab. The GENERATION ll Bending Tool is designed to be used with the Guide Right™ Generation ll Guide Posts. Guide sleeves are fabricated into a surgical template, evaluated with 3-D X-ray imaging, the angles of the guide post corrected and the implant placed. The GENERATION ll Bending Tool is used to bend the guide post both mesio-distally and bucco- linqually. It is calibrated in one degree increments. The guide post is placed in the bending tool and can easily be cor- rected with the bending stylus. A surgical template using the Guide Right Surgical Components is fabricated and evaluated with a periapical or 3-D X-ray before surgery. The difference in the actual angle of the guide sleeve and the desired angle of the guide sleeve can be determined by laying the Guide Right Protractor over an X-ray or measuring the angle with the cone-beam software. The correction of the angle can then be made by bending the guide post in the bending tool and remaking the template. If the direction of the guide post is cor- rected but the bodily alignment is off, an offset guide post in 1 mm or 2 mm is used. The GENERATION ll Bending Tool has three Bending Stylus’ available to be used with the bend- ing tool to bend 3 mm, 4 mm and 5 mm guide posts. Using the Guide Right™ Bend- ing Tool to bend the guide posts accurately corrects the angle of the guide sleeve. This is based on the angle determined by the 3-D scan image. If the angles need to be changed, a new template needs to be made with the cor- rected changes. The GENERATION ll Bending Tool allows the implant placing surgeon, restorative doctor and lab technician to efficiently and effec- tively communicate and execute a precisely placed implant from the osteotomy to the prosthetic resto- ration. The Generation ll Bending Tool is simply a cost-effective and tried-and-true method to “get it right,” as tDéPlaque’s Guide Right slogan advises.
