Xios Intraoral Holder Systems

Xios Intraoral Holder Systems ensure a comfortable experience for the patient and provide an exceptional tool for safe, consistent, and precise intraoral X-rays.

Position Yourself for Success

Capturing an excellent intraoral X-ray starts with proper sensor positioning. Dentsply Sirona Xios intraoral holder systems help to ensure a comfortable experience for your patient and provide an exceptional tool to support your dental assistant or hygienist to capture a precise intraoral X-ray, safe and efficiently. We offer multiple options with our Xios AimRight Sensor Holder System and Xios Sensor Holder System. 

Xios AimRight Sensor Holder System

The AimRight sensor holder for Xios sensors makes sensor positioning intuitive and helps to limit errors: the key-lock principle allows only one correct combination of ring and arm for anterior, bitewing and posterior exposures.

  • Avoids errors: Patented design allows only one correct combination of ring and arm
  • Lightweight design: Pleasant and easy to position
  • Maximum patient comfort: No additional contact surface with the patient's mouth

Xios Sensor Holder System

The practical single-use adhesive holders for our Xios sensors win users over with their ease of use and maximum patient comfort. The practical, disposable products spare you any thought of compliance with hygiene standards in reprocessing and thus ensure greater efficiency.

  • Maximum patient comfort: No additional contact area with the patient's mouth
  • Hygienically safe: A new holder is used for each patient
  • Efficient: No need to reprocess the holders thanks to the single-use product strategy

Benefits at a Glance

Your AimRight Holder Systems may quickly become your favorite tools to work with. Positioning you for intraoral imaging precision and consistency.

The ALARA Principal — As low as reasonably achievable

Image quality and radiation exposure matter.

The need for clear, diagnostically acceptable images should never supplant every clinician’s first principle: do no harm. That means keeping radiation exposure for your staff and patients as low as reasonably achievable: the ALARA principle.

Every inaccurate image requires a retake and the more images retaken, the more the clinician and the patient are exposed to ionizing radiation. Your goal is to capture diagnostically acceptable intraoral images in a single, well-executed take, maximizing patient comfort and safety while minimizing chair time.

The most common reasons for intraoral radiography retakes are due to improper positioning, angulation, and media placement.1

Patient Safety

Diagnostic confidence makes a difference to the well-being of patients and the health of the dental practice. With the right tools and training, you can enhance the positioning and quality of diagnostic intraoral images while minimizing the risk.

Tips and Education for Better Intraoral Imaging

The goal of dental radiology is to obtain high-quality images while minimizing radiation exposure and keeping every patient as comfortable as possible.

Consider how these tips may assist in challenging situations.

PARALLELING VS BISECTING

  • Know what to choose based on anatomical challenge.
  • The paralleling technique using aiming devices is recommended for fewer errors and retakes.
  • The bisecting angle technique using media holders are recommended for patients with anatomical challenges, and during endodontic and implant procedures.

SENSOR SELECTION

  • Use the largest sensor possible to obtain maximum information.
  • Have a protocol in place for when to switch to a smaller sensor.

GENERAL SENSOR POSITIONING

  • Place in the center of the mouth for the paralleling technique.
  • Use cotton rolls, especially in vertical positions and edentulous areas.

SENSOR POSITIONING FOR BITEWINGS

  • Place the sensor parallel to the teeth.
  • Use the indicator slot to align with interproximal spaces on bitewings.
  • Align the central beam through the contact areas.
  • Adjust vertical angulation on bitewings to capture adequate bone levels.
  • With premolar bitewings, to capture the distal of the canine, adjust the media approximately 15 degress distomesial.
