product profile i-CAT Award-winning i-CAT Technology – A Powerful Family of Products i-CAT 3D imaging products offer a comprehensive level of diagnosis and planning for general dentists and a wide range of specialists. The technology in these products provides customizable scans based on patients’ unique case needs with the fastest scan-to-plan workflow available. i-CAT cone beam 3D imaging allows complex procedures to be performed quickly, and with greater confidence and accuracy. Included with the i-CAT is an exclusive software suite which is the only one of its kind to be bundled with a cone beam 3D system that does everything from diagnostics to implant, restoration, surgical and orthodontic planning. Optimal Balance Between Image Quality and Dose With i-CAT’s high level of control over radiation dose and size of scan, clinicians can select the exact radiograph that best suits each patient’s needs. And now, the i-CAT FLX delivers clear 2D and 3D images along with a full-dentition 3D scan that is a lower dose than a 2D panoramic image.* Plan for Success For implants, clinicians can determine precise tooth position to visualize impaction within the alveolar bone, location relative to adjacent teeth and proximity to vital structures, such as the nerve canal, sinus walls and cortical borders. Built-in tools measure available bone and find hidden pathology. i-CAT scans can also be used for other surgical, airway, sleep study, TMJ and orthodontic planning, thus expanding treatment offerings for the practice. Powerful Treatment Tools The Tx STUDIO treatment planning solution, exclusive to all i-CAT imaging systems, features easy-to-use tools for capturing digital models; placing and restoring implants, including abutments and crowns; performing guided surgery and complex extractions; and treating endodontic cases. With i-CAT’s highdefinition 3D images and the dynamic Tx STUDIO, clinicians can utilize 3D therapeutic devices such as surgical guides and custom orthodontic appliances. Comprehensive 3D Solution i-CAT solutions have been installed in more than 3,000 sites around the world. To help you make the most of i-CAT, the company offers highly specialized service and support through the i-CAT Network and continuing education through the 3D Imaging Institute, the only entity of its kind dedicated to helping dentists and specialists use the latest in cone beam technology.
