Dual Scan vs. Single Scan


Dual Scan versus Single Scan. In fact, this is a single scan radio-opaque scannoguide masked as base-plate (green) and teeth (red) and again as a single (dual-scan like) stent (all green) for comparison purposes.

Dual Scan: A radiolucent stent with radiographic markers (Gutta-percha or other). Two CTs are needed, patient+stent and stent alone.

Single Scan: A radio-opaque stent (base-plate 10% Barium Sulfate - teeth 30% Barium Sulfate). One CT patient+stent is needed.

SimPlant Study Club - Carlton Tel Aviv

Yesterday (31 Aug 2010) we had probably the best SimPlant event (Study Club) in the past years. Press HERE for the pictures.

Thanks to Dr. Barry Marshak who headed the meeting and to all the participants.

This is the way to go: To offer an open platform to share knowledge and experience (good and bad), by the SimPlant users themselves.

Question: Can this be done via the Web? Forums? Webmeetings? Video-conferences? I'm not sure. Maybe the answer is: You Can't. There is no replacement to people sharing the same interest getting together...

Press here for an example of the case presented by Dr. Ronen Dekalo, and here for the case from Dr. Ehud Teperovich.
