Densys Ltd. commenced its activities in November 2001, in the Yozmot incubator incubator, apparatus for the maintenance of controlled conditions in which eggs can be hatched artificially. Incubator houses with double walls of mud, a fireroom, and several compartments each holding about 6,000 hens' eggs were developed in ancient times; the , Granot. The company's mission is to create a full mouth, intra oral, real time, 3D map, for automation of dental procedures and for a variety of solutions in other fields. Dental Imaging deals 2003 There have been a number of deals in the imaging dental market in 2003. For example, $104M Gendex: Practiceworks Trophy $486M, and $530M for 85% of Sirona. Background The vast majority of traditional dentistry dentistry, treatment and care of the teeth and associated oral structures. Dentistry is mainly concerned with tooth decay, disease of the supporting structures, such as the gums, and faulty positioning of the teeth. procedures are largely old-fashioned and not automated. Dentists take impressions of the patients' teeth and surrounding tissues using putty-like materials. These procedures involve expensive dental materials, as well as waste the dentist's precious time. Existing production techniques for prostheses Prostheses A synthetic object that resembles a missing anatomical part. Mentioned in: Microphthalmia and Anophthalmia and orthodontic orthodontic (ôr´th  dän´tik),adj appliances depend on laboratory technicians. These techniques are expensive, inaccurate and lead to inadequate results. Moreover, patients are obliged o·blige v. o·bliged, o·blig·ing, o·blig·es v.tr. 1. To constrain by physical, legal, social, or moral means. 2. to undergo several temporary "fittings" and suffer appalling discomfort during the course of complex multiple procedures and repeated, lengthy visits to the dentist. Dentists' ability to perform comprehensive intra-oral 3D precision mapping of the teeth and surrounding tissues in real time could radically improve, shorten and automate dental procedures. Current Marketed Technologies Current techniques are mostly based on a putty like impression material that is placed to set in the mouth. Full mouth impressions take 20 to 30 minutes. More advanced current scanning applications in the dental market can scan, extra orally impressions or plaster casts, or intra orally only one view of one tooth. Densys has achieved a full mouth scan. Product Within 90 seconds the dentist will precision map the patient's mouth. Densys technology is ergonomic ergonomic - Concerning ergonomics or exhibitting good ergonimics. , inexpensive, easy to use, non harmful and non threatening, non invasive and totally pain free. Three-dimensional mapping of the mouth is required in almost every procedure in dentistry. Possible applications include: -- Automated production of crowns, bridges and all prostheses -- Orthodontic analysis and treatment -- Occlusal analysis occlusal analysis n. A study of the relationships of the occlusal surfaces of opposing teeth, including the effect these relationships have on related structures. Also called bite analysis. (how the teeth of both jaws fit each other) -- Automation of dental insurance Dental insurance is insurance designed to pay the costs associated with dental care. Dental insurance pays a portion of the bills from dentists, hospitals, and other providers of dental services. procedures -- Diagnosis and treatment planning In radiotherapy, Treatment Planning is the process in which a team consisting of radiation oncologists, medical radiation physicists and dosimetrists plan the appropriate external beam radiotherapy treatment technique for a patient with cancer. Typically, medical imaging (i.e. -- Aesthetic planning & imaging -- Authorization acquisition and post-treatment payment for insurance purposes -- Prevention of unnecessary treatment and fraudulent claims -- Dental identification for pathological, military and police purposes -- Clinical support -- Implant planning and placement -- Maintenance of dental records Dental Records is a small, independent metal record label, based in Ipswich, UK.
