KODAK 9000 3D Extraoral Imaging System

In an ongoing effort to provide you with the best care possible, we have recently added the KODAK 9000 3D Extraoral Imaging System to our practice, revolutionizing patient treatment.  The KODAK 9000 3D System is an innovative two-in-one solution providing access to powerful, focused field 3D images.  The capabilities of 3D imaging offer a wide range of diagnostic possibilities such as endodontics, implantology, and other surgical and dental applications.

Most importantly, the KODAK 9000 3D System was designed to acquire 3D images on a specific dental region of interest, so technicians are able to target the exact area for the 3D exposure.  This significantly reduces the amount of radiation, delivering 10-30 times less exposure than other dental radiography systems.

Benefits include:

• High-resolution images – your doctor can view your teeth more clearly
• Less radiation – more safety
• Improved patient care – your doctor can perform a wider range of diagnoses, helping reduce multiple visits, saving you time and money
• Comfortable positioning – when images are taken, you sit facing your dental professional, making the shot more comfortable for you

We are here to provide you with superb dental care, every time.  If you have any questions regarding our technologies, feel free to contact us:

Researchers at State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine have identified a tongue bacteria, Solobacterium moorei, that they say is associated with severe halitosis. Participants in the study had chronic bad breath and researchers collected sample by scraping the tongue’s surface. The tongues of every participant who had halitosis had the bacterium. The research also found that men were more likely to have the bacteria than women.

Researchers at the University of Buffalo School of Dental Medicine and Roswell Park Cancer Institute released the results of their study at the 2008 Annual Meeting of the American Association of Dental Research, indicating that those who are infected with both periodontitis and human papillomavirus (HPV) have a higher risk of developing tongue cancer. The study involved 30 patients who were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma on the base of the tongue from 1999 to 2005. 90% of subjects with HPV-positive tumors also had periodontitis and 79% of subjects with non-HPV tumors did not have periodontitis.

Dear Dr. Kattuah,

You were referred to me by my daughter, as I am new to Yuba City and needed some immediate dental work. I appreciate the good job, the extra time you took with me and your very reasonable rates. When you encountered a problem with my teeth, you were able to complete the work yourself, without referring me to a specialist, which would have cost a lot more. Not only was your service professional, I enjoyed getting acquainted with you. Thanks for the good service, Ruth Eckhardt.
