SuniCam allows you to document and show outer areas of the teeth and gums-including lesions, cracks, and calculus buildup to your patients on a computer screen.
Sopro 717 and 595 intraoral cameras from Acteon have set a new standard in dental imaging. Both cameras include LED lighting technology, analog and digital compatibility, as well as SoproTouch, a built-in image capture feature that greatly minimizes movement and blurred images.
Claris i310D(Manufacturer : SOTA Precision Optics)
The Claris i310D captures digital images that provide a powerful visual communication and education tool to use when presenting patients with their treatment plan, smoothing the case acceptance process.
KODAK 1000 Intraoral Video Camera(Manufacturer :Kodak)
The camera and docking station are PC and video compatible so the images may be displayed on a computer workstation or television monitor.
The camera comes complete with Kodak Dental Imaging Software to help archive, manage and modify images. Simple integration with Kodak's practice management software allows you to integrate images directly into patient charts.
The AcuCamŪ ConceptŪ IV FWT Digital Intraoral camera with FireWire technology delivers high-resolution digital video for great image quality.
The system combines state of the art technology with modern functionality. The compact docking station leaves you plenty of room to work around on the counter, or it can even be mounted on a wall or under a counter. The holster can be mounted almost anywhere for your convenience.

The new high-tech wireless intra-oral camera, Einstein version 2, produces super high quality images with 1.36 mega-pixels CCD and auto focus function. The Einstein 2 captures both intra-oral and extra-oral images and stores 16 still-images in on-board memory. Equipped with simple ergonomic buttons, operation has never been this easy. It takes both intra-oral and extra-oral images with eight still-image memory function. You can instantly capture and show the stored images to your patient. The wireless capability enables you to take close-up shots from various angles as well as positioning the camera to take each tooth in a row. The LED lamps, surrounding the pin lens, maintain original realistic colours. The Einstein camera comes complete with: Copernicus 10 inch screen with built in x-ray viewer and camera, Hertz wireless DVD player, bracket for mounting screen on table and as an optional extra a bracket for mounting to a post.
A complete stand alone system, the LCD & Camera requires no PC or other external device.
10x magnification is created by portable, lightweight, easy-to-use CMOS camera.
It has an internal self illuminating head that stays cool to the touch - yet is highly illuminated with internal LEDs.
The LCD is a full color high resolution display built for years of stable,
beautiful, reliable image quality. These units are designed to provide full
rotation for use in portrait or landscape modes. With full tilt and swivel the display
can be adjusted to the best height and viewing angle for your application.

Background
Information technology, or IT, devices and applications for dental practice have multiplied tremendously during the last two decades. While many of these innovations can bring significant benefits to clinical practice, integrating them into a smooth working environment is a significant challenge.
Methods
The author reviewed the level of integration of different IT-related products for dental practice and analyzed the consequences for work flow and ergonomics. He identified practical examples for different levels of integration among dental technology products.
Results
The integration of hardware devices and software applications in the dental care environment leaves much to be desired. Practitioners are engaged in a constant struggle to keep their "technology parks" working smoothly. Four levels of integration exist: hardware-hardware, hardware-software, software-software and task-oriented information integration. While there are many examples for the successful integration of hardware devices, products tend to be less integrated in other areas. Task-oriented information integration is a vision that, in general, has not been realized.
Conclusions Integration is crucial to the efficient and effective functioning of the dental office. However, practitioners cannot do much when industry does not integrate its products sufficiently. The industry, therefore, should adopt user-centered design principles, and its designers should work together to improve the integration of products from different vendors.
