French manufacturer Acteon has built quite a global presence in the dental field over the past several years. With a combined 70 years of success from a merging of several leading brands, the new Acteon is paving the way for digital innovation in dentistry.
Today, the company is known for its innovative approach, providing high-quality, user-friendly devices and systems that aim to make dental procedures more efficient and less invasive.
What makes Acteon a choice brand when it comes to dental cone beam systems? Today, we’re diving into the features and functions of their flagship (and latest) CBCT model, the Acteon X-MIND Prime 3D. We’ll share everything dentists and specialists may want to know to help evaluate, even against other manufacturers. This information should help you narrow down to find the right machine for your current and future needs.
What Is the Acteon X-MIND Prime Used for?
The X-Mind Prime is categorized as a mid-to-large field of view (FOV) CBCT system, with scans up to 12x10cm. This field of view range is one of the most versatile options for most dental and specialty procedures and is typically used for single or dual arch applications.
The X-Mind Prime 3D system offers a variety of acquisition programs with multiple FOV (12x10cm, 8.5x9.3cm, 8.5x5cm, and 5x5cm). Once you select the region of interest of the examination, the settings and dose are automatically adjusted.
These systems are often the best choice for many general dentists and are ideal for surgical guides, viewing impacted teeth, and other applications requiring one or more full dental arches. And, because this field of view can be collimated down to the area of focus, this system is also ideal for implantology, endodontics, TMJ and sinus imaging. Additionally, doctors can also use this digital x-ray to scan 3D objects, such as stone models and impression materials, opening up a whole range of new possibilities.
X-MIND Prime combines 2D and 3D technologies, using a single sensor which can quickly and easily be toggled between modes. The interface offers a full set of panoramic and CBCT exams tailored to meet all your clinical applications - there are 24 panoramic and 32 CBCT options available!
Keep in mind, the Acteon X-MIND is available with an optional ceph attachment, which is particularly useful for orthodontic procedures. This gives you flexibility to customize your purchase based on your diagnostic imaging needs.
Now, Let’s Review the Software . . . Acteon Imaging Suite (AIS)
When it comes to CBCT, most manufacturers develop their own proprietary imaging software for image visualization, optimization and treatment planning. Software systems can vary greatly, especially when it comes to intuitive functionality and ease of use, so it’s definitely something you should take into consideration when shopping around for a CBCT system.
You want to feel confident you and your staff will receive proper training and be able to navigate the equipment in order to maximize on your benefits of CBCT. Fortunately, the AIS 3D imaging software through Acteon is highly regarded in the dental community.
Here a few of the reasons why the AIS imaging software stands out from the competition:
- Windows & Mac compatible
- Intuitive navigation: manage panoramic and CBCT images from acquisition to viewing
- State-of-the-art tools: simplified implant planning, implant library, surgical guide creation
- Customizable and illustrated reports: improve patient communication & documentation
- Workflow efficiency: harmonizes into your existing clinical environment by connecting to your patient management system
X-MIND Prime Features & Benefits
Beyond the AIS software, doctors choose the Acteon X-MIND Prime for their 3D imaging solution for their value-added features. Here’s a quick overview of the premium features which helps Acteon remain ahead of their competition:
- Elevated implant planning: Import digital impressions or even scan a model to plan around the exact implant, and design a custom surgical guide.
- Enhanced accuracy: With a minimum voxel size of 87.5 μm, you get detailed, hi-resolution 3D reconstructions.
- Unmatched installation speed: Delivered completely assembled at your practice, you are all set-up in only one hour. It’s as simple as one box, one technician, two steps and that’s it!
- Space-saving CBCT: With its smart wall-mounted system, this system will fit in even the narrowest space. Its exceptional light weight (only 148 lbs for the 3D configuration) and its reduced size makes X-Mind Prime adaptable for nearly any practice floor plan. With zero footprint, X-Mind® prime will not reduce precious workspace within your practice.
- Simple control panel: The intuitive control panel smartly located below the chin support provides streamlined and precise patient positioning. Simple settings and quick examination lead to a more productive patient workflow with zero errors.
- Reduced patient prep time: Natural face-to-face patient positioning is supported by alignment lasers to ensure proper alignment for every scan. Whether sitting or standing at any height, the telescopic columns can be directly adjusted using the control panel.
