The quality of a dental radiograph is fundamentally dependent on correct film or sensor placement and accurate alignment of the X-ray beam. The FPS3000 Dental X-Ray Film Positioning Holder is a meticulously designed instrument that standardizes this process, ensuring reproducible, distortion-free, and diagnostic images every time, thereby elevating the standard of radiographic care in any practice.
Durability is a hallmark of the FPS3000. Constructed from high-quality, radiolucent medical-grade plastics and stainless steel components, it is built to withstand the rigors of daily clinical use, including repeated sterilization in an autoclave. This longevity makes it a cost-effective investment, eliminating the frequent replacement required with flimsier, disposable alternatives.
The holder’s design incorporates an aiming ring and a rigid rod that connects to the X-ray cone. This ingenious system guarantees that the central beam is always directed perpendicular to the film/sensor and precisely at the center of the target area, eliminating cone-cut errors and angulation mistakes. The bite-block is comfortable for patients and provides a stable platform, minimizing blurring caused by movement during exposure.
The FPS3000 system is incredibly versatile, accommodating both traditional photographic film and digital sensors of various sizes. It is particularly renowned for its efficacy in paralleling technique periapical radiographs, which is considered the most accurate intraoral method as it minimizes image distortion and provides a true view of the bone levels and root structures. By using this holder, clinicians can consistently produce high-quality radiographs that are essential for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of oral health conditions.
