Benefits
Why choose Sidexis iX?
Implant visualization
Don’t just tell your patients your implant proposal, show them. With Sidexis iX, you can choose between several different implant options, adapting the size, angle, and placement in the region of interest- for clear and easy-to-understand case visualization.
3D imaging to go
Sidexis iX can display your 2D and 3D X-ray data. Simply scroll through the section views on your iPad, move the rendering, and illustrate your patient’s diagnosis completely chairside - for easy treatment consultation and case visualization.
Intuitive setup
Choose a patient, download the relevant image, make annotations and save your work in the Sidexis 4 patient history. Sidexis iX has been designed to make your life easy and to keep your practice workflows as efficient as possible.
Digital convenience
With the Sidexis iX app, your patients can fill out and sign the anamnesis form directly on the iPad. A special patient "lock" function ensures that the patient can only view their own media and profile, providing ultimate security. The completed anamnesis form is then stored in the Sidexis 4 database and can be accessed at any time via the Sidexis 4 Timeline. Thanks to the integrated anamnesis form editor, you can adapt the content at any time to fit your specific practice needs and preferences.
Intended uses for Sidexis iX
- Digitally record and archive the patient-specific anamnesis sheet
- Manage patient and image databases of a Sidexis system
- Establish the exposure readiness of your Dentsply Sirona X-ray unit remotely from the iPad
Sidexis iX is not an approved medical device and may therefore not be used for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. The main application purpose is for patient communication and consultation.
Aquiring Sidexis iX
You will first need to install the free demo version of Sidexis iX from the Apple App Store. Then, in the "Settings" menu you will perform the in-app purchase (payment is made via the App Store).
3D imaging on Sidexis iX
In order to process 3D images the following is required:
- iPad Air 2 or higher, iPad Pro 12.9" recommended
- Sidexis 4 version 4.2 or higher
- Sidexis iX Server version 4.0 or higher
Device compatibility
The iPad can access the Sidexis 4 database via the practice's WLAN network and display the patient list and associated media.
The prerequisite for this is the installation of the "Sidexis iX Server" software on any computer in the practice that has Sidexis 4. This software handles the communication between Sidexis 4 and Sidexis iX.
Sidexis iX Server is available as a free download in the download section below.
