Xelis Dental Viewer (Same price as i-CAT Vision)

Allows you to plan your patient’s treatment easily, with a full implant library and free virtual implant placement capabilities. Our clinical team will prepare a study for you that includes highlighting the inferior dental canal and image rotation according to the area of interest.

Findings:

The UL4 region has mild loss in vertical ridge height. The buccal cortical plate is thin or absent. There is Misch 4 bone density (Image 2).

The remaining teeth have mild to moderate generalized alveolar bone loss due to periodontal disease.

The nasopalatine canal has a concave surface and the width is at the upper limit of normal (6mm). This may indicate the development of a nasopalatine cyst. Taking a periapical radiograph in 12 months is recommended to check for any enlargement (Image 3).
