Freedom Technologies Group recently released a new wireless intraoral sensor designed to support dental diagnostics with a combination of direct conversion x-ray technology and a Bluetooth-enabled configuration.
The sensor, known as DC-Air™, produces digital radiographs by directly converting x-rays into electrical signals, rather than relying on the traditional method of converting them into visible light. According to the company via a press release, this design enhances image sharpness and clarity, supporting diagnostic accuracy across a range of dental procedures.
The company also states that the sensor’s wireless design, enabled through Bluetooth, eliminates the physical cable typically used in intraoral imaging. This aims to reduce the risk of cable-related failures and simplify clinical workflows.
At 5.4 mm thick, the DC-Air is built with a slim profile intended to increase patient comfort during imaging. It includes the company's Zero Profile® holder system, which is designed to minimize bulk in the oral cavity. Freedom Technologies Group reports that the sensor’s construction is both homogenous and IP67 water-resistant, features said to contribute to its durability in clinical environments.
The DC-Air is currently available, and Freedom Technologies Group offers technical guidance for integration.
