Who’s Better?

Sensor Technology

CMOS

CCD

EVA sensor made from one substrate and imaging chip, Dexis sensor is actually two chips bonded together and will degrade over time

Connection to computer

USB

USB or PCMCIA

PCMCIA is quickly becoming outdated and has many small pins that can bend or break

Compatible Practice Management Software

Much more flexibility with EVA

Sensor #1 Dimensions

24 x 36 x 4.75 mm

The company does not release the specs of their sensor size, inspection reveals it to be slightly larger than a #1 film and about 8 mm thick at its thickest point.

Dexis’ one-size design significantly limits flexibility and may require another 4-6 xrays to take an FMX.  It’s too large for many children and too small to effectively take a crown to apex shot.
