This article is about how if technology in the dental practice isn’t up to par, the workflow will be much faster. It isn’t just regarding the technology such as x-ray machines though, the author discusses how moving things from place to place, such as documents and paperwork, it is time consuming and will ultimately lead to a loss of income in comparison to those who have updated technology and computers throughout the whole office.

technology as far as x-rays and x-ray machines are concerned; but the sensors
had not stopped growing as a technological power force amongst practices.
Companies are continuing to produce smaller and more accurate sensors that pick

Futuredontics Inc., Jan. 2012. Web. 21 Mar. 2012. <http://www.dentistry.com/treatments/dental-exam/dental-xrays-and-digital-technology>. This
article discusses the pros to digital x-rays and how they not only help with
finding cavities but also many other oral hygiene conditions. The authors notes
that dental x-rays are important for many reasons including exposing hidden tooth decay; reveaingl a tooth abscess, cyst or tumor; showing impacted
or extra teeth; and they can also help determine the condition of dental fillings, tooth crowns, dental bridges and root canals. Also,
she covers how people should not be concerned with x-ray radiation because it
is very minimal.

article touches base on the important of technology in dental practices right
now but includes how IPads and social media can help expand a dentist’s
practice. According to the author, the 5 hottest tech trends for dental offices
include lasers, digital scanning, endodontic technology, facebooking and social
media, along with the use of gadgets such as the IPad. A part of the article
that stood out to me was when the author mentioned that “encouraging patients to obtain deals,
redeem coupons, and check in at a dental practice as they’re logged into their Facebook accounts are becoming more strategic ways for
dentists to increase awareness of a practice”.

The articles suggests that when technology improves a dentists reputation, adds to one’s repertoire, and helps to reduce pain and anxiety and this counts toward creating a better experience for both the dentist and patient. The authors goes on to explain that from cavity detectors to cone beam, over the years researchers and engineers of dental instruments and equipment have empowered dentists to implement more minimally invasive treatments. The author discusses how both lasers and digital x-rays are far better than regular x-rays in finding cavities and is also not invasive.

article covers a new technology that is being used by many dentists that want a
more modern practice with modern technology. This x-ray machine includes high-resolution
dental X-rays that help you see more
detail and improve diagnoses, one-shot “cephalometric” images save time and improves
the patient’s experience, panoramic imaging is crystal clear, with optional
bite wing capture, and the technology is upgradable the dentists’ practice

This article also touches on how advancements within technology are contributing to dentists and patients in many ways. The faster technology of digital x-rays allows for easier perception of problems with oral hygiene and can conveniently be sent over (the x-ray that is) to another dentist or specialist if need be. The author also discusses how dental lasers and cameras are constantly evolving and is critical for cosmetic dentistry. The author suggests that although newer technology may be repelled by some dentists unwilling to change their ways, it is important to adapt because it will produce more cliental and a faster paced office.

This article provides information regarding two x-ray products that were released recently in Canada called the CS 9300 and CS9300C image systems. The author states that “both imaging systems provide exceptional image quality and ultimate practice flexibility, covering a wide scope of clinical needs.” The article provided me with information with up to date technology with dental equipment but there is a huge array of products and companies all over the world. This one is common, providing 2D and 3D imaging, for the dentists and patient.

This article discussed both film and filmless (digital) images, safe practices for infection control, and current exposure guidelines regarding technology and safety in the dental field. The authors goes back into history and talks about the discovery of x-rays in 1896 by a man named Roentgem, who received a Nobel prize for his discovery in 1901. The article also goes further with in depth analysis of different techniques that have been used in the past for x-raying people and even discusses some trial and error circumstances that had been performed in the past.

This article, which came off the Colgate website, provides information for both the patient and the dentist. This article provides insight into the types of x-rays: x-rays are divided into two main categories, intraoral, which means that the x-ray film is inside the mouth, and extraoral, which means that the film is outside the mouth. The article also covers the different types of intraoral x-rays to show different parts of the teeth including bite wing x-rays (highlight crowns of back teeth), periapical x-rays (which highlights only one or two teeth from the root to the top of the tooth), and occlusal x-rays (which are larger x-rays, that highlight tooth development and placement).
