SHAKE developed Extraoral Imaging

Digital radiography in dental surgery or orthodontic practice is now one of the most important components of a modern, minimally invasive dentistry and orthodontics. The "look" in dental, interdental spaces, jawbone and tooth roots give final certainty about the health of these areas. The dentist is perfectly supported with the digital X-ray technology to examine his patients in a very gentle and complete way. Digital X-Ray is an imaging method in which, in contrast to conventional X-ray film, a special digital imaging plate is exposed. Digital technology offers numerous advantages:

• within seconds digitized tooth image
• immediate assessment of dental status
• up to 90 percent less radiation exposure
• higher image quality
• tooth and bone structures perfectly visible
• post adjusment regarding brightness and contrast
• easy sharing and archiving of digital images
• protects the environment

Developments around 3D CT and 3D CT extraoral

Digital radiography is an indispensable part of the repertoire of modern dental examination methods. It allows to represent tooth and bone structures that can be examined by the dentist otherwise not. The company Hugo Rost and Shake develop advanced products in the field of 3D-CT and extraoral 3D CT in cooperation with the BMBF. At various examples we show which of our developments around 3D CT and 3D CT extraoral exist.

Examples for extraoral 3D CT

ABO Base- and Modell-Storage Plaster model Free Denture production Archiving of patient cases (plaster models) Review of patient information Measurement of upper and lower jaw in relation to each other
Impression scanning Plaster model Free Data Collection Construction of dentures Orthodontic Treatment Quality assurance or the measurement of restorations Data acquisition despite undercuts
Orthodontic applications and bite-rails Creating a "setup" for braces Creating Clearaligners and bite-rails accuracy ≈100μm Speed, as few individual scans Measurement of upper and lower jaw in relation to each other
Creation of dentures Plaster model-free data recording with impression scanning Acquisition of large-scale restorations, eg large-span bridges Recording of all relevant data despite complex preparation, for example, with inlays
