And for good reason, they manufacturer a wide range of advanced X-ray machines that cater to the diverse needs of dental professionals. With a commitment to innovation and imaging excellence, Carestream has developed a lineup of X-ray machine models that deliver high-quality images, enhanced workflow efficiency, and patient comfort. From a CBCT perspective, Carestream has a wide selection of new and pre-owned models to meet the needs of nearly any dental practice and clinical application. But, with many models with similar naming conventions, it may get a little confusing keeping all of these models straight. In particular, you may be comparing two of Carestream's flagship CBCT systems, the [Carestream CS 9300 Select](https://www.renewdigital.com/carestream-cs-9300-select-panorex-cone-beam/) and the [CS 9300 Premium](https://www.renewdigital.com/carestream-cs-9300-premium-panorex-cone-beam/). Both of these machines are excellent options from a brand that has a long history of delivering high-quality, reliable X-ray equipment to dentists and dental specialists alike. But, if you’re trying to decide if a Carestream 3D system is right for you and which model is a better fit, we hope to answer your questions below. ## **Why Choose Carestream for your next CBCT system?** First, let’s start with a review of the Carestream Dental brand. Many doctors choose Carestream because of its open source eco-system. If you’re a current Carestream customer, let us remind you of one of the least talked about features of Carestream technologies - they are all designed to integrate together in the CS Imaging software platform. This is a huge benefit for anyone utilizing other Carestream solutions, from CBCT to digital intraoral sensors.  For a complete guide to the Carestream ecosystem, including integration of CBCT with their Carestream CS 3700 intraoral scanner, visit our article: [The Carestream Eco-System](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/cs-3700-intraoral-scanner-review-cbct-integration). Inside and out, Carestream is a premium brand synonymous with quality, dependability, and ease of use. All Carestream 3D models have been designed to deliver high-quality 2D and 3D images by providing features to assist with proper patient positioning, reduce image noise and artifacts, and provide advanced imaging algorithms and technology to minimize patient dose. In addition, the included CSI 3D imaging software helps streamline image capture, diagnoses, and patient treatment planning. Carestream CS 3D systems capture cone beam images in a variety of field of view (FOV) sizes to accommodate a wide range of applications, including general dentistry, endodontics, implant placement, oral surgery, orthodontics, dental sleep medicine and many more. Regardless of your specialty, Carestream CBCT systems can help you achieve your desired treatment goals, both now and in the future. ## **What These Models Have in Common** When comparing the Carestream CS 9300 Select and CS 9300 Premium machines, let's first take a look at what they have in common. Whereas some CBCT machines require you to take a 3D scan and then extract the panoramic images, both of these CBCT machines feature dedicated 2D panoramic sensor technology so that you can capture traditional panoramic images using the lowest possible patient dose when cone beam scans are not required. This follows the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), minimizing patient exposure and enabling the capture of 2D imaging without the need for a 3D scan. These dental X-ray machines also feature a “Child Mode” for use when imaging children or smaller patients, resulting in a reduced exposure area and radiation dose and making these machines more “Pedo-Friendly.” Another similarity between these machines is that they are both also ceph-upgradeable by the manufacturer if your treatment needs change or you add a specialist to your practice. They both also deliver high-definition 3D dental imaging. You can easily set the resolution detail required, up to 90 μm, to capture more precise and clinically accurate images for detailed applications, such as endodontics, implants or other oral surgeries. Now that we have outlined how these two Carestream CBCT systems are the same, there is a significant difference between them that is important to understand before making a used dental equipment purchase. ## **How They Are Different** The primary difference between the Carestream CS 9300 Select and CS 9300 Premium is the cone beam fields of view (FOV) they deliver. The FOV, which dictates how much of the patient’s anatomy can be captured in a scan, also affects which dental applications each unit supports. Both dental X-ray machines include small (5x5cm) and medium (8x8cm) 3D fields of view. The former is useful for capturing a single tooth or quadrant, and the latter for dual jaw applications. With its FOV up to 10x10cm, the Carestream CS 9300 Select is an excellent choice for general dentists, endodontists, and for those practitioners placing dental implants and manufacturing surgical guides. However, the CS 9300 Premium also offers a large FOV (up to 17x13.5cm), which can capture a larger 3D image and is more useful for diagnoses and treatments requiring a larger view of the craniofacial anatomy, such as dental sleep medicine, orthodontics, orthognathic surgery, and other applications. Because of its larger FOV, the CS 9300 Premium is priced slightly higher than the CS 9300 Select, but with Renew Digital’s affordable pricing and flexible [financing options](https://renewdigital.oneplacecapital.com/), either of these machines can meet the budgetary requirements of just about any dental practice. ## **Why Buy Certified Pre-Owned Carestream CBCT Machines?** Renew Digital offers used Carestream CBCT systems in addition to a wide range of other certified pre-owned premier cone beam, panoramic and cephalometric systems from other leading brands. Buying from Renew Digital can save you up to 30%-50% off the price of new dental cone beam equipment, putting premium dental digital panoramic X-ray and cone beam systems, like Carestream, within the reach of more practices than ever before. You can also purchase from Renew Digital with complete peace of mind. While Planmeca CBCT systems are widely known for their high quality and reliability, Renew Digital re-certifies all the used dental equipment that we sell.
