All About Sirona X-Ray Systems and Integration

Sirona Dental X-Ray Machines

Renew Digital offers a wide range of certified pre-owned Sirona dental panoramic, cephalometric and cone beam systems. When considering adding a Sirona X-ray or CBCT system to their practices, dentists often ask about compatibility with other devices, software, and programs. We’re answering some of the most commonly asked questions below.

2D Panoramic and Cephalometric Images

Two dimensional panoramic and cephalometric images from a Sirona dental X-ray machine are easily integrated into most leading dental imaging software applications by using a TWAIN interface or driver. TWAIN is a global compatibility standard that allows a software application to acquire and capture digital images from compatible devices. Each equipment manufacturer, including Sirona, provides TWAIN drivers for all of its dental X-ray machines.

If your Imaging software has a TWAIN acquisition module, then all you need to do is download and install the compatible Sirona TWAIN driver and you can access the Sirona capture and image management tools within your dental imaging software platform. There, you can use settings, filters, annotations, and other features to manage, store, and share the Sirona 2D panoramic/cephalometric images.

Common dental imaging software with TWAIN compatibility includes CS imaging software, Dolphin imaging, VixWin, Romexis, XDR, Eaglesoft, Apteryx, Cliniview, and more. We recommend contacting your imaging software manufacturer to determine if it includes TWAIN integration.

Cone Beam Imaging

When you purchase a certified pre-owned Sirona CBCT system from Renew Digital, we include Sidexis imaging software. Sidexis includes all of the features you need to capture and analyze images for patient care and treatment. Use the included Galaxis 3D imaging software to take advantage of powerful measurement and annotation tools to aid in the placement of implants, endodontics, and other specialty applications, as well as import implant libraries.

Sidexis software helps streamline image workflow between Dentsply Sirona devices such as X-ray units, intraoral cameras, CEREC, and SICAT systems. Additionally, certain Sidexis software versions allow you to import and export images in other standard formats such as DICOM, STL, and PDF. You can then share these images with compatible third-party applications and devices such as 3D printers, send to referrals, or upload to dental labs for the creation of surgical guides, appliances, or restorations. The user-friendly Sidexis Viewer also makes it easier to share CBCT images with colleagues and patients alike.

Serving as your “imaging control panel”, Sidexis helps keep all of your patient images at your fingertips. This helps streamline patient diagnoses, treatment, and communication. It combines all of your intraoral, extraoral, and dental CBCT patient images together in one dashboard for easy viewing, comparison, or tracking changes over time. Be sure to discuss your image integration needs with your Renew Digital Sales Representative so we can match up the right Sirona cone beam and Sidexis software for your practice.
