One area of purchasing a digital imaging
system that seems to generate a big “SIGH” from the imaging supplier and a
problem for you the dentist is the addition of extra screens. The need
to have more than one screen in a surgery is no longer considered a luxury
it has become a necessity. With more and more practices in the UK moving
from NHS to private, patients are demanding something for their money.
Ceiling or wall mounted monitors, TV’s and Plasma screens are fast becoming
an integral part of a dental surgery.
Many of the imaging suppliers are
either very reluctant or refuse to get involved in fitting additional
screens. Why spend many thousands of pounds on purchasing an imaging
solution only for it to become a chore for you to use daily. I hear
many moans and groans from dentists regarding how they are unable to use
their imaging system to it's full potential because they are unable to see
the image correctly, this largely being due to the PC screen being located
in a NON ideal position I.E. normally behind you.
A second screen will not only benefit
you in using your imaging equipment it will also give your practice an extra
level of patient comfort. The majority of intra-oral cameras can be
configured to display in FULL screen mode, no more small 640x480 windows.
The same screen acts a a clone of your existing PC display, allowing you to
discuss treatment plans with the patient still in the chair. With the
addition of an inexpensive DVD player this gives you a plethora of options
to aid in diagnosis and making the trip to the dentist a more enjoyable
and relaxing experience.
