I-CAT "a compact machine, a compact price, infinite capabilities"
What is I-CAT?
The I-CAT Cone Beam 3-D Dental Imaging System provides high-definition, in-office, three-dimensional, digital imaging at reduced cost and less radiation to the patient than traditional CT scans.
It delivers quicker and easier image acquisition.
Its small footprint and economic design allow practices to extend their service offerings and enhance the overall delivery of care, while offering the safest possible diagnostic techniques.
Why use I-CAT?
The I-CAT opens your eyes to a third dimension. Its easy to understand and allows you to see critical anatomy that you havent previously been able to see.
Reduce costs, save chair time, with less radiation to patients, while delivering better results with a typical scan time of only 20 seconds or less, the patient is subject to significantly less radiation than traditional CT scans of the oral and maxillofacial region.
Evaluate and analyze critical anatomy for implants and oral surgery within minutes right in your office with 3D views of critical anatomy, a more thorough analysis of bone structure and tooth orientation for optimum implant type selection, treatment and placement.
Precise 3D views of impacted molars within the alveolar bone, location relative to adjacent teeth, and proximity to vital structures, such as the nerve canal, sinus walls, and cortical borders.
Detect and evaluate problems before they become serious by accurately measuring bone and jaw deformities, assessing bone lesions and changes of the jaw, and detecting other pathologies, such as cysts, tumors, and disease.
View critical structures for complete TMJ analysis and diagnosis with 3D images of the condyles and surrounding structures, of bone morphology, joint space, and function all critical to TMJ dysfunction treatment and care. Ten-second, high-speed scan captures TMJ open jaw views.
Three-dimensional data enhances airway assessment and can result in reconsideration of the treatment plan if the patient has a typical airway, versus a restricted airway, which may be susceptible to collapse.
Improve orthodontic diagnosis and treatment by providing the multiple projection perspective necessary to accurately assess tooth relationships and further support the objective interpretation of anatomy.
Understand exact tooth position and relationship of abnormal anatomy with more accurate viewing of impacted supernumerary or abnormal teeth in relationship to other anatomical structures, such as roots, nasal fossa, and sinuses to enhance accurate management of treatment by understanding the tooths position and its relationship to adjacent teeth and structures.
