ACTEON X-MIND trium 3D

May 21, 2020 by ICONA Leave a Comment

X-Mind trium 3D provides four different FOV from 40x40mm to 110x80mm. The smallest FOV, 40x40mm, provides ultra-high-resolution images, 75 µm, making it the ideal tool for endodontics.

X-Mind trium 3D meets all the growing needs of dental practice by pairing 2D panoramic with 3D imaging, as well as digital cephalometric analysis when required. Trium Cephalometric radiography provides easy patient positioning and the smallest physical footprint on the market. Combining Mac and PC compatibility, the X-Mind trium 3D is the ultimate imaging tool for virtually every dental practice.

When it comes to understanding bone density and volume, precise and detailed analysis of the existing bone volume is highly recommended in order to reduce complications associated with implant placement. Using the ACTEON Imaging Suite 3D software, the X-Mind trium displays the assessment of bone density all around the implant with just one click. 

If the bone volume is low, the images and information supplied by the ACTEON Imaging Suite 3D software can help you clearly communicate your treatment recommendations to your patient

X-Mind trium 3D offers you a broad selection of FOV, letting you focus on the region of interest for the target diagnosis and reducing the patient’s exposure to X-rays.

Four FOV are available

  • A 110×80 mm FOV will offer a full view of the dentition, mandibular canal, and lower sinuses
  • A 60×60 mm or 80×80 mm FOV will be optimal for defining the positioning of one or more implants or for diagnosing periodontal problems
  • A 40×40 mm FOV with a resolution at 75 μm is ideal for diagnosis and endodontic treatment

As well as applications designed exclusively for implantology or endodontics, X-Mind trium 3D also assists in pathologies related to periodontics, orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery.

Benefits include

  • Evaluating a detailed morphology of the bone tissue
  • Helping to diagnose infectious diseases
  • Examining maxillofacial fractures
  • Determining the protocol for extracting included teeth
  • Conducting an orthodontic assessment
  • Detecting dental anomalies
  • Helping to diagnose temporomandibular joint disorders
  • Exploring the maxillary sinuses

The quality of the diagnosis and endodontic treatment improves significantly with a resolution at 75 µm on the X-Mind trium 3D.

Perform a scan from 12 to 30 seconds depending on the selected field of view.

Whether raw or filtered to optimise the details, panoramic X-Mind trium images support a fast and easy diagnosis.

Because of its patented cinematic and collimation, patient positioning is easier on X-Mind trium 3D.
X-Mind trium 3D is equipped with a dynamic artifact reduction filter to eliminate streaks and dark bands caused by the presence of metal. The image can be freely reconstructed with adjustable filter levels based on the target level of information and the need to cut out artifacts. Install the cephalometric arm on the right or left, depending on the configuration of your consulting rooms.

Patient Examination Chairs and Tables: Do They Help or Hinder Results?

March 12, 2020 by ICONA Leave a Comment

Whenever a patient walks into a practice, the first thing that they’re going to see is the chair or examination table. The chair and examination table are important because it is where the patient will stay in for the remainder of the procedure. It also helps the operator to manoeuvre into an ergonomic position for both themselves and the patient.

Procedure chairs get all the attention, but a question not often asked is: how valuable are patient examination tables and examination chairs? Are they really necessary or can a clinic work without them? Do they truly help improve results or do they hinder them?

What Makes Examination Chairs and Tables Vital for Success?

In general, clinics always aim to have a patient-centred approach. A great clinic is no different or exempted from this approach. They know how important it is to make their medical and dental patients happy, while satisfying them with their services. Curing a patient and helping them with their problems is the main goal, but overall, the experience is also vital.
A terrific examination table or chair would be able to make patients feel comfortable and safe. They would also be versatile enough so that the doctors could just swivel them in motion with ease, performing different positions flawlessly. This would also serve as the preliminary stage, and a perfect opportunity, for dentists to strike up a conversation with their patients, calming them down and assuring them that they’ll be getting the best results.

“Agile and Efficient” Makes a Big Difference

Improper diagnosis on a patient, for example, can lead to the wrong treatments. To avoid these scenarios, a patient examination table or chair is designed to be both agile and efficient, helping doctors to properly determine what the cause of the problem is. After all, there are certain spots and areas on our bodies that could prove to be difficult to examine, without the proper positioning.
These examination tables and chairs come with a variety of settings. It’s possible to put them in numerous positions, or perhaps a Trendelenburg position when required, and more. This is made possible by the easy lowering and heightening controls, along with the flexible joints they’re equipped with.

The Quiet and Soothing Hydraulic Lift

Being ill and being treated is bound to cause a significant amount of anxiety in patients —and the anxiety can increase if they hear some ominous whirring and rattling from the table or chair they’re on? They’ll certainly have a horrible experience and might not want to visit any clinic again. However, if they’re seated on a soothing, quiet, and stable examination table or chair with smooth positioning features, they’ll feel relaxed, which allows the operator to communicate with their patients via the table or chair and tell them “See? I told you it wouldn’t be so bad.” and assist in patient relaxation.

Overall, a patient examination table or chair definitely helps to provide the best experience and results to patients. They’re not a hindrance, nor are they simply a nuisance that doctors purchase for style. They are there to make a difference for everyone and give patients a pleasant experience.

Ultra Sonic Cleaners and Solutions: What are They and What Do They Do?

February 3, 2020 by ICONA Leave a Comment

Dental instruments have special kinds of dirt and debris clinging unto them. One might think that using conventional cleaning solutions and the “good ol’ scrub n’ rub” that we’re used to is enough. But no matter how hard you scrub the equipment’s surface, blood and saliva are too tough of a stain to handle.

Fortunately for us, our advancements and innovations in the field of dental science has brought more efficient means of cleaning dental apparatuses. Ultrasonic cleaners, which are used worldwide.

What are Ultrasonic Cleaners?

Ultrasonic cleaners are a type of cleaning unit that gets rid of bioburden via utilising sound waves that are generated by energy. They are accompanied by specialised liquid cleaning solutions, specifically made for decontaminating dental instruments and maintaining their pristine condition for as long as possible.

Fast forward to 1960 and a new group of enzymatic cleaners were made. It was later discovered that when it’s combined with commercial laundry detergents, the enzymes significantly improved the cleaning solution’s effectiveness to purify dental equipment. Nowadays, the solutions used by modern ultrasonic cleaners are more potent ingredients classified as dual-enzymatic cleaners, which is capable for a more effective clean to instruments.

How do they Work?

The cleaning process of ultrasonic cleaners is quite unique and mind-blowing. As mentioned, these types of dental instrument cleaners use sound waves to purify contaminants on the item’s surface, but we never really got into much detail of how the soundwaves act during and how they initiate the cleaning phase. It’s quite a powerful process and it’s no wonder why this method as the number one cleaning phase in all dental clinics.

First, the sound waves are generated by the machine’s electrical energy. Then, the sound waves begin to move, and as they travel through the liquid cleaning solution, their motion causes millions of tiny bubbles to form and burst, in a process of cavitation and implosion. Lastly, we get to the actual cleaning part. The implosion caused by the sound waves break the chemical bonds that hold the contaminants/debris together, which is latched onto the dental instruments surface, effectively breaking them down and removing them.

Benefits of Ultrasonic Cleaners

Cleaning will always be the main advantage that ultrasonic cleaners have, but they do offer a lot more. Similar to how dental chairs help dentists communicate with patients in a subtle way, ultrasonic cleaners have other great benefits that one might know about the first time:

• Full-Body Cleaning – Since the dental equipment will be submerged in water and cleaning solution, dentists can be 100% sure that anything the water touches gets cleaned.

• Efficient Use of Energy – Compared to jet washing that uses huge amounts of water, ultrasonic cleaners are more efficient with their energy consumption because they just have to vibrate and make soundwaves, not shoot a stream of water.

• Removes All Sorts of Contaminants – Ultrasonic cleaners are capable of removing oil, dirt, grease, and even bacteria. Hard to reach places wouldn’t be a problem.

• Repeatable and Automated – These special types of dental cleaners have a comparatively consistent and automated process for users. Its chemical additives, cycle times, power, and heat can all be regulated.

Hygiene is truly an important facet of any dental clinic, and the dental ultrasonics can help clean and maintain the cleanliness needed by the dental equipment. Ultrasonic cleaners is a must for any dental clinic and for the sanitation rooms that they have because they provide the best cleaning results—removing 100% of surface debris!

The Importance of Ergonomics in Dental Practices

February 3, 2020 by ICONA Leave a Comment

It’s not uncommon for dental practitioners to be in an awkward positions that strain their bodies on a daily basis, in an effort to ensure that their patients get the best dental service Melbourne. Being the professionals that they are, one would think that they know how to look after a patient’s welfare, along with their own. However, that isn’t always the case for most dentists.

These strains put a lot of the dental professionals at a higher risk of getting musculoskeletal problems that include carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, repetitive motion injuries, and more. The best solution and prevention to these problems lies in the science of adjusting the work to better accommodate the worker, so he/she wouldn’t have to strain, which is called ergonomics.

Positioning the Patient Properly

Securing the patient’s position throughout the entire treatment is vital because after all, all of a dentist’s work would centre on them. A patient’s ideal posture should be in a supine position. To help improve a patient’s repose in such an angle, a dental chair must have a contoured cervical support cushion—like the Airel PE8+ that takes chair ergonomics to a whole new level!

Dental ergonomic consultant and physical therapist, Bethany Valachi, suggests that dentists should place the patient chair at a 10-15 degree angle from the floor. She also recommends communicating with patients, asking them to scoot over to the headrest’s end, effectively eliminating the need for dentists to unnecessarily lean over.

The dental chair that the patient is on should also be adjusted in a way that the forearms are sloping 10 degrees upward, parallel to the floor. The chair’s lower arch, the occlusal plane should be inclined at about 30 degrees from the horizontal plane. Meanwhile, the occlusal plane should be inclined at a 15 to 20-degree angle from the vertical plane.

Proper Selection and Placement of Dental Instrument

Ergonomics is not just about finding the most optimal position to work in, but it’s also about properly selecting and placing the dental instruments to be used. Wrists can often hurt from applying constant force during treatments like root planning, probing, and scaling. To lessen that force, instruments with textured grip surfaces, larger diameters, and lighter weights all help improve wrist comfort significantly. Placing the instruments in easy-to-reach positions also aid dentists throughout the entire procedure, eliminating any form of unnecessary (or risky) reaches that could disrupt the treatment so any dental professional could deliver the best dental service Melbourne.

Proper Postures for Dentists

Dentists will find it very helpful to learn about the neutral positions that they could have during dental procedures. If any dental professional would want to improve on ergonomics, they should:

• Avoid leaning over the patient or bending forward and opt to maintain an straight posture

• Perform clinical procedures while sitting down, rather than standing up

• Less excessive (often unnecessary) wrist movements and maintain a neutral position for wrists

• Don’t grip the dental instruments too tightly

• Keep one’s feet flat on the floor or on the stool’s footrest

It’s important that dental professionals also utilise dental chairs to their fullest because they play an important role in how dentists communicate with patients, which increases efficiency in ergonomics.


It’s true that dentists should definitely be there for people and help them with dental problems. But dentists should also take good care of themselves, if they ever want to continue giving the best dental service Melbourne, or anywhere in the world for that matter.
