ProDENT Intraoral Camera PD740 Capture Button Driver to Work with Eaglesoft Dexis Apeteryx Carestream Tigerview

I've had mine for 3 months and It works great! The set up is very easy. It works with Dexis. The image quality is very good. You don't have to fiddle around with an awkward focus switch, It has a relatively deep range of focus (just don't be too close or too far from the teeth). The sheaths are a little cumbersome, I wish they fit a little tighter so that they don't bunch up or move. If you don't hold the sheath tight it can interfere with the image. Definitely as good if not better than cameras 10-20 times the cost! 5 stars because I'm finally happy to see companies making good quality, reasonably priced dental equipment instead of the price GOUGING like the big dental companies do.

I installed its mini-CD program in the computer. Wow - this camera will not fool you or waste your time. It works the first time. It blows us instantly due to its unbelievable performance against price. The clarity of the pictures are so vivid and sharp in a 28 inch TV/PC monitor. After one week of usage, everybody are still happy. We plan of buying another set as a reserve/replacement incase of breakdown. It is use as a stand alone program in a dental office. Patients are impressed. Usage/operation is very simple. Do not buy the companion foot pedal, it is not needed.

Only had this for a day, but so far looks good. Some reviewers have reported it will stop working after a while; only time will tell - I'll report back after I use it for a while. I had the original Panasonic Acu-Cam - the images from this camera are comparable. Once you put the plastic sheath on, the image is slightly blurrier, but that's always the case. My acucam was the same. I have Prof Suni (aptyrex) and the camera works fine with it. Except as others have noted - the capture switch on the camera would not work. I don't know if it can be fixed by adjusting the settings - but I didn't bother with it - I find a foot pedal much more convenient to use, so I installed a foot switch. If you don't install a foot switch, the image can be captured using a mouse or mouse pad buttons on a laptop. The printed instructions are not in great detail, so I had to fiddle around a little to get things to work - only took a few minutes. Here's some info that may help you set it up quicker: 1. Plug the camera in 2. Install software with included disc 3. Reboot computer 4. Launch Prof Suni (you do not need to launch Prodent separately) 5. Open the patient you want 6. Click File, then acquire, then capture video image. Turn the cam on by either pressing the power button on the wand, or when you remove it from the holder it automatically comes on. Capture the image by left clicking the capture button. Or if you have the foot pedal, put the cursor of the mouse over the "capture" button. When you click the foot pedal it will click the capture button. Note: you will need to install the foot pedal and software. Open the foot pedal software and choose the left mouse button as the the device you are controlling. My one complaint so far is that the focal length is fixed. You must hold the camera close to the tooth to get a focused shot - so you can only include 1-2 teeth in the field. If you move the camera farther away to capture a smaller but wider field eg 3 or more teeth or an extra oral image, it will be out of focus. The acucam was better in this respect - it was auto focus. That's why only 4 stars Prodent should pay me a royalty for this review!! Read more

Plugged it into the USB port, waited for Windows 7 to automatically install the software, ran XDR imaging software, and it worked after setting up the template. Didn't have to install any third party software to use it. When you are ready to capture images, remove the camera from the included holder and it automatically turns on. Place the camera back in the holder to shut it off. The button closer to the camera end saves the image / takes the picture. The button closer to the cord end freezes the image (push again to unfreeze). If you like the paused / frozen image, push the save button (button closer to the camera end) to save the image. Once the image is saved, XDR software will allow you to take another image, provided you created a template to take multiple pictures. Image quality isn't the best when the photo is enlarged, but you can see what you need to see. More importantly, patients can see what they were previously unable to see. Saves me a lot of time from trying to describe the problem or draw pictures to explain what is wrong. Read more
