Carestream Dental Debuts New Scheduler for CS SoftDent, Announces CS 1600 Now Available

New Solutions Emphasize Workflow and Efficiency to Improve Patient Care

ATLANTA – Carestream Dental today previewed the new Scheduler for CS SoftDent practice management software at the California Dental Association – South meeting (CDA – South), being held through Saturday, May 5, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif. The company also announced that the CS 1600 intraoral camera is now available for sale.

During CDA – South, the Carestream Dental team will showcase three solutions that are designed to streamline workflow and improve communication within practices and with patients. This year’s line-up includes:

·         The all-new Scheduler for CS SoftDent. Designed to give practice administrators a better handle on the interruptive environment of the front desk, the new Scheduler quickly provides easy access to an array of information. It improves office efficiency, productivity and communication, streamlining tasks such as booking new appointments, looking up patient records and updating appointment cards. With customizable tools and appointment books, intelligent and intuitive workflows, and rapid search and display functionality, the CS SoftDent Scheduler offers the most advanced scheduling ever introduced in dentistry. For current CS SoftDent customers with the Advantage Plan, the Scheduler is available as an upgrade free of charge; it is also available for sale as part of CS SoftDent v.15.

·         The CS 1600, a multi-use intraoral camera that combines exclusive, patented caries detection technology with Carestream Dental’s industry-leading image quality. With the widest focus range on the market (1mm to infinity), this easy-to-use camera marks a leap forward in dental care; as dentists typically must rely on traditional, more subjective methods of caries detection. This camera features the same unique liquid-lens autofocus technology as Carestream Dental’s 1500 intraoral camera as well as a sophisticated 18-LED illumination system and an optional polarizer filter to reduce glare.

·         The compact CS 7600 digital intraoral radiography system, which reinvents imaging plate technology by improving usability, productivity and security. Launched earlier this year at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting, this cost-effective system’s patented intelligent workflow technology prevents plate mix-up and reduces operation time. The CS 7600 is fully automated and as easy to use as film – with all the benefits of digital imaging.

“Carestream Dental understands that efficiency, diagnostic excellence and enhanced patient care are critical components to the success of dental practices,” said Edward Shellard, D.M.D., chief marketing officer and director of business development for Carestream Dental. “The all-new Scheduler for CS SoftDent greatly improves practice administration through intuitive workflows, and the CS 1600 advances caries detection technology into new and meaningful territory. From more advanced scheduling to sophistication in diagnosis, the products we’re showcasing at CDA – South represent our dedication to improving the tools that are available to dental practices.”
