ATLANTA—The CS 8100SC 3D extraoral imaging system by Carestream Dental has been awarded a bronze 2018 Edison Award in the category of Dental/Medical Digital Imaging by the Edison Awards. The award, inspired by Thomas Edison’s persistence and inventiveness, recognizes innovation, creativity and ingenuity in the global economy.

“It’s exciting to see companies like Carestream Dental continuing Thomas Edison’s legacy of challenging conventional thinking,” said Frank Bonafilia, executive director, Edison Awards. “Edison Awards recognizes the game-changing products and services, and the teams that brought them to consumers.”

The award was announced April 11 at the Edison Awards Annual Gala. Matthew Greer, regional product manager for extraoral imaging, was in attendance to accept the award on Carestream Dental’s behalf.

“Carestream Dental always strives to deliver innovative technology that supports doctors in their diagnoses,” said Ed Shellard, DMD, chief dental officer, Carestream Dental. “Winning a bronze 2018 Edison Award reinforces that the company is meeting the needs of doctors and their patients around the world.”

To earn a bronze 2018 Edison Award, the CS 8100SC 3D was judged on its concept and development, value and impact on the industry.

The CS 8100SC 3D offers two-dimensional panoramic imaging, cephalometric imaging, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging and model/impression scanning. The company says its minimal footprint and affordability makes 3-D imaging available to smaller practices that either couldn’t afford or didn’t have space for an extraoral imaging system in the past. The CS 8100SC 3D’s low-dose program can deliver 3-D imaging at a dose equal to or lower than panoramic imaging.

“The success of the CS 8100SC 3D began more than a decade ago with the initial development of the award-winning CS 8100,” said Shellard. “That one system would eventually grow a ‘family’ of units, all with different imaging capabilities. The CS 8100SC 3D represents Carestream Dental’s ultimate goal by combining the best features of its predecessor systems into one multifunctional solution to make cost-effective, powerful imaging available for more doctors.”
