D4D E4D Compass

RICHARDSON, Texas--D4D Technologies, a manufacturer of dental CAD/CAM systems, has announced introduction of a new education, communication, and collaboration implant planning solution.

E4D Compass integrates 3-D data from leading cone beam systems with E4D scan data to provide dental professionals a comprehensive and interactive view of the oral environment prior to implant placement. With restorative-based implant therapy, E4D Compass can aid in the design of anideal restorative plan (via E4D’s DentaLogic software), and then on the same system, import DICOM data from compatible cone beam systems to reveal the underlying 3-D data for ideal implant positioning.

D4D Technologies has worked with leading cone beam manufacturers--including Imaging Sciences International i-CAT, Gendex Dental Systems, and Instrumentarium/SOREDE--to coordinate compatibility and efficiency of the treatment planning process.

The success of implant therapy is based upon the final restorative or prosthetic result in regard to form, function, and esthetics. E4D Compass enables clinical operators to explore and educate themselves on the possible treatment options prior to offering or initiating treatment.

“The ability to do this at the chair is great for patient education and treatment plan acceptance, since it demonstrates the individual patient’s real data instead of using stock images or demonstration models,” said Dr. Gary Severance, vice president of marketing and clinical affairs for D4D Technologies. "The patient is engaged in the process from the beginning."

E4D Compass integrates laser intraoral, model or impression scans (E4D Systems) and cone beam data (i-CAT, GXCB-700, SCANORA 3D, or Orthopantomograph OP 300). The intuitive E4D Compass software guides the operator through the process of determining optimal positioning and design for restorative-driven implant therapy.

D4D Technologies names new president and CEO

“It is exciting to work with the E4D Dentist System to combine two incredible technologies into one powerful solution,” said Mark Hillebrandt, director of marketing at Imaging Sciences International..

"By combining the surface data from E4D with the underlying anatomy from the cone beam 3-D scan, doctors now have access to the full picture for complete implant and restorative treatment planning. One of the best aspects of the E4D Compass system is how easy it is to use and the fact that the entire plan can be created chairside with the patient in a matter of minutes."

E4D Compass is available through Henry Schein Dental, and is compatible with E4D Dentist systems running DentaLogic 2.0 and i-CAT and i-CAT Precise (Imaging Sciences International), GXDP-700 (Gendex), Scanora 3D (SOREDEX) and Orthopantomograph 0P300 (Instrumentarium) cone beam systems.
