Wolf Industries Becomes Industry Leader with a
new Dental Color Analyzer Software Package
SEATTLE, WA, DECEMBER 14, 1998…..Wolf Industries Inc.'s President Patrick McGowan is pleased to announce that the Dental Color Analyzer Software Program developed by Image F/X Software Solutions Inc., the leader in Dental Imaging Software, has now been completed for Beta release.
McGowan says, "The Dental Color Analyzer Software includes an MS Windows 32 bit image database program which allows images to be captured by the dentist and saved to the patients individual file folder. Images can be captured with an infinite variety of input devices such as intraoral cameras, scanners, 35mm cameras (digital and film), x-ray systems (digital and film). Each picture is automatically placed into the patients file folder and may have information such as date/time captured, source, image label, notes, tooth number etc., stored with it. These images can be searched, viewed, printed, or electronically transmitted at any point."
McGowan continues, "The uniqueness of the software is that it is directly linked to the Dental Color Analyzer. This now completes the communication chain. The lab now will have everything they require to complete a restoration including exact color, the actual images, and comments and instructions for the case. The user will take the image of the teeth to be worked on and project it up on the monitor of his PC in his office. Next the user will touch on the image of the tooth where the color will be measured. Then when the analyzer is pressed on the corresponding location of the actual tooth the color read out will be superimposed onto the image. This can be done several times in various locations on the tooth for a complete color map. The lab prescription is then either printed out or e-mailed to the lab with all of the information they require in an orderly easy to read format."
"The software will also have an optional cosmetic imaging module as well as an x-ray module. It is extremely easy to use and will also operate with all MS Windows practice management systems."
"Presently 60% or over 100,000 dental offices use some sort of an image capturing device to take pictures of the patients teeth. The pictures taken with these devices are used to communicate information with the patient and to the laboratory to assist them in constructing the restorations. The images allow the lab to see the patients smile, lip line relationships, tooth shape, irregularities, and texture. The information is sent to the lab either via print or e-mail. These actual images coupled with the Dental Color Analyzer color information allow for a complete communication link between the patient, dentist and lab technician. This will dramatically increase the success rate and provide for accurate final results."
Wolf Industries Inc., is a dental technology company with worldwide manufacturing and marketing rights to the Dental Color Analyzer, a leading edge technology to the dental industry which utilizes optical fiber spectroscopy for use in determining accurate, true measurement of shades and colors of dental materials.
The Dental Color Analzyer has been developed to assist dentists in determining accurate and true measurement of shade and colors of dental materials. To date, the dental industry has relied primarily on visual interpretation of tooth shades for restorative dental work. The Dental Color Analyzer, for which there is a patent pending, employs optical fiber spectroscopy to determine the exact shade of the original tooth. It determines the shades and colors of dental material used in replacement work in dentistry, and precisely matches these shades to original teeth.
