The American Dental Association recently announced that Instrumentarium Imaging’s Orthopantomograph/Orthoceph Extraoral Film and Digital Units have earned the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance. “This is a very high honor,” Michael Palazzola, President of Instrumentarium Imaging, explained. “We are the first and only digital panoramic and cephalometric x-ray machines to be accepted by the ADA. Our business plan to provide the highest clinical performance is validated with this approval.”
“We are very excited,” Doug Woods, Vice President of Instrumentarium Imaging’s Dental division, concurred. “One must undergo the ADA’s rigorous scrutiny. To receive the Seal of Acceptance by the largest and oldest national dental association in the world is very gratifying.”
“In October, our 10,000th OP100 unit rolled off our assembly line,” Woods continued. “We recently celebrated our 50,000 OP unit install. There is a very good reason why there are more OP series units in dental practices worldwide than any other pan unit. I like to think that Instrumentarium Imaging continues to set the imaging standard.”
