Also, it is often found that products which are seen as luxury or superior to other products and that caused the user to pay a higher cost are less likely to elicit the owner to speak poorly of the product. The problem with anecdotal evidence in a small industry, such as dental, is that there is never enough of it to properly map trends and to overcome the idea that people are far more likely to take the time to relay information about a product that dissatisfies them then to relay information about a good experience and even less likely to say something about an experience that was just mediocre or okay. As for anecdotal evidence it can be very beneficial if there is enough anecdotal evidence provided in a manner where the source can be distinguished that you can map a trend. Since, all dentists are part scientist by the very nature of their profession they know that there are no facts in hearsay and that it is a very unreliable method for determining even a version of the truth. The most common information provided to doctors about most dental products is hearsay or through anecdotal evidence. Secondly, use of the sensor without a proper barrier shield will lead to excessive moisture getting inside the sensor housing and potentially corroding or shorting out its internal components not to mention the corrosive nature of saliva itself to break down the plastic that the sensor is made out of.
Using a sensor without a holder will often result in the sensor being bitten or the cable being bitten, which is a very fragile part of the sensor. There are many ways a sensors life can be shortened by the owner of the sensor. After much research I found no way to actually determine how often a sensor needs repair or any statistics offered by the manufacturer.įurthermore, even if we had good statistical data on number of failures vs number of sensors in the market that in and of itself would not necessarily be a measure of the sensors inherent reliability, but would be impacted by the use of the sensor itself by the client. Digital X-Ray companies do not fall under the same systems that govern auto parts or other industrial items where the failure rate is known to a very good accuracy. Reliability seems like a very difficult item to judge.

The Dexis vertical sensor model, takes vertical bitewings (VBW), and will take all anterior and posterior (PA) views, and also endodontic images with reamers and rubber dam in place, where the 1shotdental holder can be hand - finger/thumb held on the tooth.
The Dexis horizontal sensor model is ideal for routine bitewing (HBW) images, but it can also take periapical (PA) views especially wisdom tooth views, PAs ( for PAs slide the imaging device up or down in the 1shot claw and also adjust the x-ray tube to suit) and endodontic shots of the posterior/buccal teeth with reamers and rubber dam in place, where the 1shotdental holder can be hand - finger/thumb held on the tooth. There are only 2 models in the Dexis 1shotdental holder system - horizontal and vertical. Two models is all you need for all intra oral routine x-ray images, including bitewings (BWs), periapicals (PAs) and endodontic images with reamers and rubber dam in place. DEXIS holders are the preferred choice for a large number of Henry Schein dental clients.
