Innovation is concern one
CamSight might not be the most recognizable name in the dental industry––yet.

Ben Yoo, founder and CEO of CamSight, has propelled it to an industry-leading position. With more than 17 years experience in the digital-dental equipment and software industry, beginning as a dealer selling products such as intraoral cameras, digital x-ray systems, and practice management software, Mr. Yoo then decided to develop and manufacture a CamSight line of products in 1996. To get started, CamSight acquired the facility previously occupied by UltraCam in San Clemente, Calif., as well as the employees. CamSight’s first product introduced in the dental market was the Optum Intraoral Camera. Mr. Yoo envisions CamSight taking the helm of the dental industry and steering it quickly and completely into the digital era within three or four years. With plans to provide the total solution for a paperless dental practice, CamSight continues to provide innovative and comprehensive products to the dental community.

21st Century Innovation
Always thinking about innovation, Mr. Yoo never ceases to be excited about the future of digital dentistry. As a young adventuresome company, CamSight has no plans to slow down. Its newest product, the Digital Surgical Scope, was developed from CamSight’s continuing communication with the dental community, which expressed the difficulty in learning to use surgical microscopes. In response, CamSight developed the new Digital Surgical Scope and opened a new era in microscopic dentistry.

Operation of the Digital Surgical Scope is a breeze. Everything is included: the big-screen monitor, control panels, a built-in motorized video camera, a computer with a hard drive for image storage, a light source, the convenience of signature-image processing software, and a wireless mouse and keyboard. With the Digital Surgical Scope, CamSight offers the dentist a revolutionary new kind of practice: simple, healthful and rewarding. The optical zoom magnifies to 15x and digital zoom goes up to 10x, with a total 150x actual size.

Another benefit of the Digital Surgical Scope is maintaining a healthful posture while performing procedures. Working comfortably is not just a luxury; it is a necessity for the health, wellbeing and longevity of the dentist’s ability to practice. Studies have shown 80 percent of dentists suffer from severe back or neck pain caused by bending over uncomfortably for hours a day trying to see inside the mouth. As a result of this pain, some are forced into early retirement, giving up their livelihood, simply because they performed dental tasks ergonomically incorrect. Excellent ergonomics is achieved with the Digital Surgical Scope because the dentist is able to sit upright while viewing inside the patient’s mouth on a large monitor.

Dentists improve their spinal health, and they will enjoy the image magnified many times more with a greater field of view and depth of field than traditional surgical microscopes and loupes. The dentist will not have to constantly refocus and zoom in and out, and even when the patient moves, it stays focused and on task resulting in fewer nagging interruptions to the procedure.

Take photos and videos with ease, and save them to the patient’s digital file using the push buttons and foot pedal. More maneuverable than any previous microscope, with its articulating arm, the camera moves in any conceivable position, up, down and sideways giving the dentist a better view of the oral cavity.

In addition, the Digital Surgical Scope can be used as a teaching tool. With its multi-monitor support and network capability, it can be connected to any big-screen television or the Internet, to broadcast a lecture or procedural demonstration in real-time to the classroom or worldwide.

Plus, the easy-to-use intraoral imaging software allows the user to zoom in and out, adjust brightness, contrast, and magnification of certain areas. Patient education and case acceptance are smooth with the valuable tools that are included.
