Dr Philip Jonsson's Green X, Max-Factor CBCT

Somerset West’s Maxillofacial and Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr Philip Jonsson welcomes the latest Green Innovation X-Ray Technology that maximises care and quality while minimising patient exposure. 

Green Technology from the world’s number one selling brand of 3D Dental Diagnostic Equipment, Vatech.  

Dr Philip Jonnson specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of complex conditions of the head, neck, jaws and oral cavity, and we are proud to announce that his surgery is home to South Africa’s first larger single-scan Green X 18. This premium CBCT maximises image quality while slashing radiation doses down by up to 75% compared to conventional CT units. (Bettering the previous Vatech Green CT model which achieved a 52.6% reduction in radiation compared to conventional CT.) Green X low dose does not compromise quality (as you may expect) but achieves the industry-leading highest resolution voxel size of 50 microns (0.05mm), and part of this success is because it achieved the fastest scan time of 2.9 seconds, reducing motion artefacts greatly because of significantly less patient movement. 

Multi field-of-view selections from the smallest 4X4cm volume and 49.5 micron voxel size up to the large single-scan 18x15cm FOV, options cover the full arch region, sinus, left/right TMJ and Airway Analysis, and suits most oral surgery cases and multiple implant surgeries. The images along with its latest Ez3D-i 5.2 software and its ease of use, revolutionise the diagnosis experience day-to-day as well as clinical accuracy, treatment planning and more minimally invasive and successful treatments. What’s more - in just one click on the unit’s software, the surrounding anatomical structures such as the alveolar bone can be hidden from the volume, allowing a clear view of the teeth and root canals.
