Preparing the exposure
You will need to replace accessory parts according to the patient or
exposure program.
In general, exposures of all volume areas can be made with the 3D bite
block, the yellow bite block or the universal bite block. The 3D bite block
or universal bite block is recommended for volume exposures. If it is not
possible to work with these bite blocks, another possibility is to use the
chin rest with the bite block rod or bar.
While positioning the patient, the upper and lower volume limit is shown
with the light localizer on the patient's head. If it then becomes apparent
that the desired exposure area is located outside of the limits of the light
localizer, the patient's head can be positioned lower or higher in the beam
path by using a different bite block.
If exposures are to be taken in the maxillary, temporomandibular, sinus
and orbital regions, the patient can then be positioned lower accordingly
with the blue bite block or the universal bite block in several layers. The
proportional volume in the sinus region is thus greater.
Positioning is also possible with the universal bite block, as this can be
adjusted in several stages and the wide, soft bite block foam offers
increased safety against vibrations. The bite block foam is equally
suitable for patients without anterior teeth.
Positioning is also possible with the occlusal bite block. The occlusal bite
block sets the inclination according to the occlusal plane instead of the
Frankfurt horizontal plane.
Two spherical bite blocks are available for preparing an implant drilling
template for measuring scans of the upper or lower jaw. The bite block
plates can be ordered from the SICAT Online Shop, www.sicat.com.
The following accessories are also required:
● Temple supports or temporomandibular joint supports with contact
pads
● Forehead support
➢ Insert the accessory parts to be used into the unit and pull on the
relevant hygienic protective sleeves, see "Hygienic protective
➢ Switch Sidexis to a ready-for-3D-exposure state; see ‘Switch Sidexis
to ready-for-exposure state’.
