Feature Highlights

Light Box

The Sidexis 4 digital light box is characterized by its flexibility, displaying all image types seamlessly in one software interface. All 2D, 3D and intraoral images can be processed and viewed at the same time – ensuring all imaging data is available for the diagnostic process. For example, a quick, unproblematic cross-comparison of an intraoral image and a 3D scan is made possible – facilitating your diagnosis and treatment planning process considerably. This intuitive software thus provides the ideal conditions for your diagnosis, from patient consulting to treatment planning and simulation.

Timeline

Thanks to Timeline, an overview of the patient’s entire history can be viewed at a glance. This allows you to add an intuitive time dimension to your diagnostic options.

Compare Function

The useful "Compare" function is one of the software features where you will ask yourself as a user why this tool has not always been available: working in the compare window, you can evaluate several images at the same time.  

More than Imaging – Real Solutions

The Sidexis 4, with its intuitive user interface and display of all kinds of images on a monitor – whether intraoral, 2D panoramic, or 3D – increases the efficiency of your practice and the accuracy of your diagnoses like no other software. Nevertheless, Dentsply Sirona does not stop with the diagnosis – our solutions allow you to plan treatment for a number of different conditions and customize treatment for the individual patient. The processes remain in your practice and your patients appreciate your modern, understandable treatment methods. For satisfied patients and reliable work in your practice.


FAQ

Are there any user trainings available?

There are several options to get to know Sidexis 4 in more detail: first, there is of course an extensive user's guide also for Sidexis 4. It can either be loaded from within Sidexis 4 or can be downloaded from the web site using the link "Manuals".

Furthermore, interactive video tutorials can be found here.

 

Can I also see my CEREC data in the Timeline?

As of Sidexis 4 V 4.3, CEREC data in the form of STL data can be imported into Sidexis 4 and displayed both in the timeline and in the lightbox.

 

Can I change the IO template countdown until a connection to the sensor has been established again?

Yes, this is possible within the Sidexis 4 settings. Setting the parameter to <1s allows access between different positions of the template within only about five seconds. In the meantime, the sensor can be repositioned accordingly.


 

Can IO templates (FMX) be created?

Yes, this is possible from version Sidexis 4 V 4.2 on. In the tool area at the top of Sidexis 4 you will find the template editor, which you can use to create individual templates according to your requirements. 
 

 

Is it possible to import the already available IO images into an IO template?

No, this is not possible. However, you will get the same result if you open the already existing IO images in a lightbox. Simply adjust the images as needed and then save the complete lightbox as a session.

 

Does Sidexis 4 support DICOM standard?

Sidexis 4 supports the following important DICOM standards:
DICOM Ex-/Import (DICOM RM) incl. DICOM Wrap & Go and Third-Party
DICOM Export, DICOM WLS (Worklist, for PACS connection), for DICOM PS see above.
In addition, Sidexis 4 stores all data directly DICOM-compliant.
 

 

Can I connect my intraoral camera?

For the Dentsply Sirona cameras SiroCam 3, C, digital, F, AF, and AF+, a plugin which allows the camera to be integrated directly into Sidexis4 (video module). Still images can be automatically stored in the timeline.
Two alternatives are available for additional cameras not mentioned above:

  1. TWAIN: all cameras that have a TWAIN driver can be integrated into the recording phase of Sidexis 4.
  2. Directory Monitoring (Sidexis 4 function): If the camera is configured to store your images in any folder in the practice network, Sidexis 4 can import the images from there. This function is also very interesting if you work with with SLR cameras - especially if they can send the images directly to the monitored folder via WiFi.

 

I am currently working with Sidexis XG. Can I transfer my previous exposures to Sidexis 4?

Yes, this is possible and without any resulting issues. When Sidexis 4 is installed, the data is automatically migrated to the new database quickly and easily. Your X-ray data will remain unchanged. Then you can work directly with Sidexis 4 and see the images in the timeline.

How do I get a SLIDA interface?

The term “SLIDA-interface” is short for “Sidexis Link to Dental Applications”. In general, it means the included possibility of connecting Sidexis with other programs. For this to be possible, a SLIDA-conform counter piece needs to be included in the partner-software. As there are different functionality levels, we recommend the programmers among you to download the SLIDA documentation from this website.

 

How to establish a SLIDA interface?

SLIDA is available to all companies that want to connect their software to SIDEXIS or vice versa. Users can choose from a wide range of different options: patient data transfer, automatic patient selection, transfer of X-Ray orders, export of images to the relevant partner software.
***
If you have any questions, please contact Dentsply Sirona. Please also let us know when you have successfully connected your software to SLIDA. We will then be able to include you in our reference list.

 

Do I need special PCs in order to run Sidexis 4?

No, you do not need special PCs. Currently commercially available PCs are completely sufficient in order to use Sidexis 4. If you already have older PCs that you are currently using in your practice, the prerequisites will be adjusted prior to installation.
Find further details here.

 

Does Sidexis 4 work with all Dentsply Sirona X-ray units?

With the exception of ORTHOPHOS DS, PanElite and the Dentsply Sirona intraoral sensors, all digital Dentsply Sirona X-ray units are supported.

Why is the SLIDA interface important for your dental practice?

SLIDA is an interface created by Dentsply Sirona to connect Sidexis 4 with your Practice Management Software (PMS) and other third-party software.

  • Your patient data is automatically synchronized with Sidexis 4, so there is no need to create patients manually. And if you change e.g. the name of a patient, it gets synchronized as well.
  • You can send a patient X-ray with just a single click in your PMS to Sidexis 4. Sidexis 4 will then automatically register this patient and sets your X-ray device so that it's ready for exposure.
  • Your PMS will receive a confirmation for your billing that a requested X-ray image has been taken.
  • Acquired 2D images can be transferred automatically to your PMS if you prefer to do your diagnosis there.

More than 200 Practice Management Systems worldwide are already connected to Sidexis 4 via the SLIDA interface.
