Examine a precise area with a FoV of Ø 5 cm x 5.5 cm or evaluate the complete dentition including temporomandibular joints with Ø 17 cm x 13 cm. Whether HD images in high resolution or low-dose images in the dose range of 2D images, our systems adapt to your individual patient case. These are just some of the advantages you receive with our 3D X-ray solutions.
Axeos and Orthophos are based on a proven successful hardware platform and software system. This gives you:
From a focused field of view for endodontic questions (Ø 5 cm x Ø 5.5 cm) up to a large field of view (Ø 17 cm x Ø 13 cm) that covers complete dentition, including both TMJs and the cranial base, defined by nasion and sella.
Always following the ALARA principle, our 2D/3D hybrid solutions make sure that you can count on the image quality you need for the given indication at the lowest possible dose.
Our smart treatment solutions are perfect companions for our x-ray units, giving you new possibilities for your practice offering, now and into the future.
Proudly "Made in Germany" quality and more than 100,000 units sold worldwide, we can say one thing for sure: Our Orthophos units stand for best-in-class reliability.
Thanks to our Patient Positioning & Image Assistant concept, easy positioning and X-ray capture are simple. You receive high-quality images to support your treatment analysis and a high level of comfort for the patient and assistant.
Our fields of view have been developed to match your needs. Starting with a focused 5 cm x 5.5 cm FoV for endodontic or single implant cases up to 11 cm x 10 cm* for the complete dentition and upper airway analysis, you decide which volume is the right one for you.
*11 cm x 10 cm Orthophos SL only
Metal artifacts present a challenge for 3D imaging. With three-dimensional reconstruction, radiopaque objects create shadows and streaking effects on the X-ray image. This is especially true for patients with metal restorations, these artifacts make diagnostics more problematic. The MARS software (metal artifact reduction software) reduces metal artifacts in 3D images significantly. This improves the image quality substantially and renders diagnostics with less complication.
At standard settings, Dentsply Sirona imaging units are set to SD (Standard definition) mode with a supreme balance of image quality and dose value for everyday practice life. For certain indications, i.e. visualization of fine root canals, high definition (HD) mode shows all necessary details at just the click of a button.
We developed a 10-point concept for easy patient positioning and X-ray imaging. Our concept is primarily about two things: high image quality and comfort for the patient and the assistant. This concept supports and provides the tools needed to ensure high-quality images for treatment analysis and focuses on ergonomics and comfort for the patient and assistant.
The patented bite block technology, for example, automatically establishes the correct inclination of the patient's head, positioning the patient in the occlusal plane, partnering with the 3 point head fixation and firm handles to ensure stable positioning-limiting unnecessary correction scans.
3D technology is becoming increasingly well-established in dental practices around the world. For more precise diagnoses and treatment explanations, 3D X-rays offer a number of advantages. Whether with superimposed teeth, unexpected nerve canal paths, hidden roots, or temporomandibular joint anomalies, 3D images are invaluable for a large number of diagnoses.
With the Axeos, the Orthophos SL 3D and the Orthophos S 3D from Dentsply Sirona, several hundred individual images are produced when taking a 3D X-ray in the space of just a few seconds.
Using this data, the software generates a 3D image of the jaw area. The practitioner is then able to take a "virtual tour" of the scanned volume and assess the data from every dimension.

No matter where they live, our authors have one thing in common: they use Orthophos SL for unclear diagnoses and complex cases. Find out more about the use of Orthophos SL for 3D imaging.
Even though 3D X-rays are becoming increasingly established in a growing number of dental practices, in many cases 2D imaging still has a rightful place. This is largely due to radiation hygiene, which is a core component of modern dental diagnostics. In terms of improvements in image quality, the options available in 2D technology are far from exhausted. 2D X-ray devices from Dentsply Sirona score highly in daily handling, thanks to technical innovations for unparalleled sharp images and operation that leaves nothing to be desired.

Orthophos XG 3D and Orthophos SL 3D both offer the capability to install a cephalometric arm at any time. To be sure it fits in your X-ray room, the arm can be mounted either on the right side or left side of the unit.
Using a dedicated sensor, you get lateral and symmetrical p.a. or a.p. as well as carpus images. In cases of displaced teeth, you can also fall back on the benefits of 3D X-rays to determine their exact location.

The requirements actually follow those for the imaging software Sidexis 4. For more details please see Sidexis 4 system requirements.
Dentsply Sirona 3D units work exclusively with Sidexis 4. Nevertheless data migration from Sidexis XG to Sidexis 4 is very easy. Sidexis 4 allows for the full digital experience with the latest tools.
Orthophos SL 2D and the Orthophos S 2D allow a 3D upgrade. Axeos is a dedicated hybrid unit. The Orthophos E does not offer this option.
