The new universal bite block is height adjustable, and therefore can be used to replace all existing bite blocks. Patient positioning is easier, more hygienic and more comfortable due to the wide, disposable bite block surface.

• Time saving: changing of bite block for standard panoramic to maxillary TSA exposures is no longer necessary.
• Optimal image quality: the special design of the new universal bite block ensures less shadowing of X-ray exposures.
• Your choice: the universal bite block is offered as an option, but will be included in units with transversal slices (TSA)

Program extensionsfor ORTHOPHOS XG^Plus

• Programm P12 (thick layer of anterior tooth region), which is highly valued by specialists, is now also selectable in the “upper jaw only” and “lower jaw only” versions. This is particularly convenient dueto to the automatic collimators.   
  
  
   
• The new S3 and S4 sinus programs featuring a continuous, straight slice orientation, S3 and S4, enable linear display of the entire sinus region. S3 and S4 are included in the full version of ORTHOPHOS XG^Plus.   
    
  
    

Additional Programs for TSA (Transversal Slice Acquisition)
With the well-known benefits: high-quality images and easy positioning

• Slice thickness selectable in the posterior tooth region
  Due to the superior Sirona technology, the transversal slices have a thickness of only 2 mm in the molar region. This guarantees unsurpassed specific detail.
  Anyone accustomed to working with larger slice thicknesses can now set the slice thickness to 6 or 8 mm on the Easypad.
  
   
• Three TSA slices combined with one longitudinal slice
  The longitudinal slice exposure has a slice thickness of 5 mm. A very clear overview of all planes results in combination with the three thin transversal slices (slice thickness of 1 mm in the anterior tooth region and 2 mm in the posterior tooth region). The image center of the longitudinal slice exactly shows the slice position of the second transversal exposure.
  
   
• Three thin longitudinal slices
  The 3 parallel slices exactly follow the curved contour of the mandibular arch.
  In combination with a slicing gap of 3 mm (anterior tooth region) or 5 mm (posterior tooth region), the slice thickness of 2 mm enables the localization of objects (dimension of cysts, root canal fillings of molars) with a high detail resolution.
  
  
    
• Cross sectional (transaxial) slices
  The course of the mandibular canal differs for each patient. As a supplement to the classical TSA exposure, a second exposure with transaxial slices can supply the desired information. The middle slice is suited for measuring bone width, since it has a 90° angle to the mandibular arch.
