If you've been in the dental field for several years, one dental imaging brand that may come to mind is KaVo. This X-ray and CBCT brand once had a prominent footprint in the dental market, with displays featured at conferences, trade shows, CE courses, and more.
While you'll no longer see this brand name on X-ray equipment, their imaging excellence still exists through Envista/DEXIS, previously KaVo Kerr. KaVo Kerr Group also purchased the reputable Instrumentarium and Gendex brands, along with their industry-leading manufacturing and engineering teams. Along with i-CAT, the "brains" behind these machines are still in production on newer model DEXIS systems.
Today, you can still find 2D and 3D imaging devices with the KaVo brand name through certified pre-owned dealers and direct from fellow doctors.
So, what are some of the benefits of purchasing this brand name specifically? Today, we're going to evaluate the KaVo brand and their flagship products, KaVo OP 3D and KaVo OP 3D Pro.
Here at Renew Digital, we have always been very selective about which products we choose to offer, preferring to work with brands that really deliver great performance to go with our obsessive level of customer service.
When you are investing in a digital imaging system, we often recommend KaVo as an affordable option with a wide range of clinical applications. Let's dive in!
In this article, we’re going to take a closer look at three different KaVo CBCT systems and their imaging options: the KaVo OP 3D, the KaVo OP 3D Pro, and the i-CAT FLX V-Series. We’ll consider their features and benefits in order to help you choose the best KaVo CBCT system for your practice.
The KaVo OP 3D system features dedicated 2D panoramic functionality, but can be upgraded to cephalometric or medium FOV cone beam modality (up to 9x14cm) by the manufacturer at any time.
This innate functionality, coupled with its upgradeability, makes it a suitable system for a wide range of dental practices supporting general dentistry, endodontics, orthodontics, oral surgery, and more.
The KaVo OP 3D Pro is the most comprehensive system for capturing the entire maxillofacial region. This cutting-edge system utilizes the latest 2D and 3D functionality, delivering these modalities in a versatile, practical 3-in-1 system.
The KaVo OP 3D Pro is a versatile, capable, comprehensive 3-in-1 system, ideal for all extraoral dental imaging needs. Proprietary technology and optimized software streamlines workflow and enables fast, efficient, and accurate patient diagnostics.
Accurate patient positioning is intuitive and imaging modality can be easily set using the easy to use 10-inch interface. The system also features 5 FOV settings with precise positioning. The FOV positioning can be precisely adjusted, both horizontally and vertically, via the user interface and the motorized chinrest, respectively. SMARTVIEW Scout imaging verifies the accuracy of positioning, minimizing the need for retakes, thereby reducing the overall patient exposure.
The KaVo OP3D Pro is designed to be expandable and upgradeable. The cephalometric attachment can be installed on the left or right of the panoramic X-Ray unit for ease of use as well as to ensure optimal fit within the imaging setting.
This proprietary technology automatically regulates panoramic exposure levels for each patient. It eliminates the need to set exposure levels manually and enhances workflows. It also offers a resolution for indication, including Low Dose Technology (LDT), standard, high and endo resolutions.
MAR, or Metal Artifact Reduction, can be used to capture optimized images even in the presence of metal artifacts, such as for implant planning or endodontic work.
SMARTVIEW technology allows the capture of a 2D scout image to ensure accurate patient positioning which can then be adjusted if necessary, ensuring accurate scans and minimizing the risk of retakes.
The OP 3D Pro eliminates the issue of exposing a larger area than necessary. All available FOVs allow free FOV positioning both vertically and horizontally, ensuring accurate positioning and optimizing exposure for more accurate images.
Regardless of the unique needs of your dental practice, there’s a flexible KaVo dental CBCT system that can meet them, and our helpful staff will help you find it.
Even if you’re not sure what system will best meet your needs, our consultative Sales Team will help you determine which system best meets your requirements.
