Sirona Dental has introduced the Galileos Cone-Beam scanner. This scanner is a 3-D imaging device that provides exceptional quality and unprecedented diagnostic capabilities. The Galileos has an extremely low radiation exposure of 70 millisevers. Medical CT scanners can be as much as 5,000 milliseiverts and other cone beam scanners can emit 250 milliseiverts or more. This is on par with standard film based panorex radiographs. Exceptional diagnostic 3-D images at very low radiation doses results in optimum safety and diagnostic ability for the patient. Dr. Brown has added this technology to his practice. The Galileos can interface with the Cerec 3-D for virtual implant placement. We can now take an optical image of the patient with the Cerec 3-D and design a final restoration. This can then be interfaced with the Galileos. Implant placement can guided to the proper position with the final result in mind. The technology is truly amazing, as are the results.
