Donation Offers Practitioners Hands-On Experience with the CS 9300 Multi-Modality Imaging System
ATLANTA—Carestream Dental announced today a collaboration with The Pankey Institute, a distinguished provider of advanced continuing education for dental professionals. The collaboration involves the placement of Carestream Dental’s CS 9300, an all-in-one extraoral imaging system that supports a wide range of clinical applications for different oral health specialties, at The Pankey Institute located in Key Biscayne, Fla.
The Pankey Institute hosts more than 30 courses a year using the CS 9300 to demonstrate CBCT scanning technology and how it benefits a dental practice, introducing hundreds of dentists annually to the equipment. Overall, the Institute has served the needs of more than 25,000 members of the dental community since its inception in 1972 by providing interactive technical, behavioral and philosophical training to dentists, dental laboratory technicians and specialists from around the world.
“We are proud to do our part by donating the CS 9300, so dental professionals attending The Pankey Institute can further their knowledge of 3D imaging and advance their dental education” Mary Conditt, director of clinical affairs, U.S. digital, Carestream Dental, said.
"We pride ourselves for offering the most comprehensive advanced education available,” Ricki Braswell, president, chief executive officer, The Pankey Institute said. “This gift allows us to continue to expose dentists to new levels in the standard of care within a teaching environment. We are very honored by the generosity that Carestream Dental has shown and we are grateful for its collaboration with us to deliver high quality dental education."
Over the past decade, 3D imaging has become an important tool to the modern dental practice. Imaging systems, like the CS 9300, provide enhanced images through cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) that allow practitioners to uncover critical information that cannot be detected when relying solely upon 2D imaging. In addition to improved diagnoses and treatment planning, practitioners who use 3D imaging systems have discovered an improvement in doctor-patient communication, as patients are more likely to comprehend their diagnosis when the clinician can point out the problem on a more realistic 3D image rather than a flat 2D image.
Sharing the CS 9300 with The Pankey Institute’s attendees gives them a diagnostic advantage as they enhance and refine their skills. The dental industry is rapidly changing and it’s vital that dental professionals have the opportunity to work hands-on with the latest technology so that they can more accurately diagnose and treat patients in the future.
"I am very grateful for the generous donation of the CS 9300 from Carestream Dental. I firmly believe that the use of this new technology will make our curriculum even more relevant and deepen our impact in the field of continuing education,” Dr. Dale Sorenson, director of essentials education, The Pankey Institute, said.
