- You outsource to a lab
- Hardware is wearing out
- Images on the network without scanning
- Recapture the darkroom space
- Become more efficient
- The bottom line…
|
|

|
- It works!
- Don’t need the darkroom space
- Don’t need radiographs on the network
- Or you’re OK scanning film
- Hardware is working well
- Cost is minimal

- Angle Orthodontist, June 2001
- Sirona direct reduces by 50%
- It appears the direct systems do reduce the exposure
- Indirect appears to be the same as film
- Cone beam = 4-7 panorex films
