ScanX

Correction

The starting cost of the ScanX by Air Techniques should have been listed at $11,495 for the intraoral system. The ScanX Intraoral scanner is designed for practices that need intraoral capabilities only, and accepts plate sizes 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Clarification

Speed, the time to see first image, reported for ScanX included time to perform manufacturer directed infection control procedures. The actual scanning time of a size #2 plate was about 20 seconds, depending on resolution setting.

Sidexis IO2

Clarification

Sirona Dental Systems provided written verification that thier sensors will tolerate disinfection with high ethyl alcohol products. This is clinically significant since it allows clinicians more choices of disinfectants, especially those proven to have broad spectrum kill capabilites.
