All about the DEXIS OP 3D LX

Written by Dustin Haney | March 27, 2024

Have you seen DEXIS/enVista at your most recent dental conference or CE course? As of last year, you will be seeing this brand used a lot more to market many dental devices, including X-ray, CBCT, intraoral scanners, intraoral sensors, handheld X-rays and much more.

Many legacy brands are available through DEXIS today, each bringing engineering excellence and technologies developed by legacy manufacturers, including: i-CAT (brand name still used today), Gendex, Instrumentarium, KaVo/KaVo Kerr, NOMAD (handheld X-ray units) and Carestream Dental (for intraoral scanning technology).

And, for more than 60 years, the name ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH system has stood for ultimate reliability and clinically correct maxillofacial imaging. Orthopantomograph (don't worry about pronouncing correctly ) is the OP of the DEXIS (formerly KaVo) OP 3D systems.

The OP 3D LX system respects the legacy, yet renews the meaning of image quality, efficiency and ease-of-use.

If you’re in the market for a new 3D dental X-ray machine, the DEXIS OP 3D LX, available through Voxel Dental, should be on your shortlist. Because like a few of the other popular imaging brands, DEXIS is able to offer doctors a wide range of innovative and advanced imaging systems. Today, we're going to talk about what makes the DEXIS OP 3D LX a choice for many dental and specialty practices.

Advanced Imaging Capabilities

The DEXIS OP 3D LX is the next generation of DEXIS cone beam technology. This 2D/3D imaging platform expands your diagnostic capabilities with a wide range of clinical applications that support your evolving practice and enhance diagnostic confidence. 

This next generation system offers flexible field of view (FOV) options ranging from 5x5 cm up to 15x20 cm (optional) – which is the largest view option available on a DEXIS OP 3D platform to date. With shorter scan times, the OP 3D LX captures the maxillofacial complex and large diagnostic areas in one non-stitched scan for fast workflows.

  1. Panoramic Imaging:

    • The system provides high-quality panoramic images, capturing a broad view of the patient's entire dentition, jaws, and surrounding structures. Panoramic imaging is valuable for assessing overall dental health, identifying pathologies, and evaluating dental development.
  2. Cephalometric Imaging:

    • Cephalometric imaging with the DEXIS OP 3D LX System enables detailed analysis of craniofacial structures. Orthodontists utilize cephalometric images for treatment planning, evaluating skeletal relationships, and assessing growth patterns.
  3. 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT):

    • The CBCT capability of the DEXIS OP 3D LX System allows for precise 3D imaging of the maxillofacial region. It provides cross-sectional views of teeth, bone, nerves, and soft tissues, aiding in implant planning, endodontic evaluations, TMJ assessments, and surgical procedures.

Key Features of the DEXIS OP 3D LX System

  1. High Image Quality:

    • The system delivers high-resolution images with exceptional clarity, allowing for detailed visualization of anatomical structures. This enhances diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning precision.
  2. Low Radiation Dose:

    • DEXIS prioritizes patient safety, and the OP 3D LX System incorporates dose optimization technologies to minimize radiation exposure while maintaining image quality. This is particularly important in pediatric dentistry and for patients requiring frequent imaging.
  3. Intelligent Software:

    • The DEXIS Imaging Suite software accompanying the OP 3D LX System offers advanced tools for image analysis, measurement, annotation, and treatment simulation. It enables efficient workflows and comprehensive patient documentation.
  4. Multi-Focus Panoramic Imaging:

    • The system's Multi-Focus Panoramic feature ensures consistent image sharpness throughout the entire panoramic image, even in areas traditionally challenging to capture clearly.
  5. One-Shot Cephalometric Imaging:

    • With the One-Shot Cephalometric feature, the system optimizes patient positioning and image acquisition for cephalometric studies, reducing exposure time and enhancing patient comfort.

Benefits for Dental Practices

The DEXIS OP 3D LX System provides numerous benefits to dental practices:

  1. Enhanced Diagnostic Capabilities:

    • The system's multifaceted imaging capabilities facilitate comprehensive diagnostics, leading to accurate treatment planning and improved patient outcomes.
  2. Streamlined Workflow:

    • Integration with practice management software and digital workflows enhances efficiency, reduces chairside time, and improves communication among dental team members.
  3. Patient Comfort and Experience:

    • Advanced imaging technologies, low radiation doses, and ergonomic design elements prioritize patient comfort and safety, contributing to a positive patient experience.
  4. Treatment Precision:

    • Precise imaging data enables clinicians to execute treatments with a high level of accuracy, whether it's placing implants, performing orthodontic adjustments, or conducting surgical procedures.
