Sidexis 4

There are several options to get to know Sidexis 4 in more detail: first, there is of course an extensive user's guide also for Sidexis 4. It can either be loaded from within Sidexis 4 or can be downloaded from the website using the link "Manuals".

As of Sidexis 4 V 4.3, CEREC data in the form of STL data can be imported into Sidexis 4 and displayed both in the timeline and in the lightbox.

Yes, this is possible directly in the Sidexis 4 settings. If the value is set to <1s, the transition between the individual positions of the template only takes about five seconds. During this time you can move the sensor to the new position.

Yes, this is possible from version Sidexis 4 V 4.2 on. In the tool area at the top of Sidexis 4 you will find the template editor, which you can use to create individual templates according to your requirements.

No, this is not possible. However, you will get the same result if you open the already existing IO images in a lightbox. Simply adjust the images as needed and then save the complete lightbox as a session.

Sidexis 4 supports the following important DICOM standards:

• DICOM Ex-/Import (DICOM RM) incl. DICOM Wrap & Go and Third-Party
• DICOM Export, DICOM WLS (Worklist, for PACS connection), for DICOM PS see above.

In addition, Sidexis 4 stores all data directly DICOM-compliant. Find all DICOM documents here.

For the Dentsply Sirona cameras SiroCam 3, C, digital, F, AF, and AF+, a plugin which allows the camera to be integrated directly into Sidexis4 (video module). Still images can be automatically stored in the timeline.

Two alternatives are available for additional cameras not mentioned above:

1. TWAIN: all cameras that have a TWAIN driver can be integrated into the recording phase of Sidexis 4.
2. Directory Monitoring (Sidexis 4 function): If the camera is configured to store your images in any folder in the practice network, Sidexis 4 can import the images from there. This function is also very interesting if you work with with SLR cameras - especially if they can send the images directly to the monitored folder via WiFi.

Yes, this is possible and without any resulting issues. When Sidexis 4 is installed, the data is automatically migrated to the new database quickly and easily. Your X-ray data will remain unchanged. Then you can work directly with Sidexis 4 and see the images in the timeline.

The term “SLIDA-interface” is short for “Sidexis Link to Dental Applications”. In general, it means the included possibility of connecting Sidexis with other programs. For this to be possible, a SLIDA-conform counter piece needs to be included in the partner-software. As there are different functionality levels, we recommend the programmers among you to download the SLIDA documentation from this website.

Why is the SLIDA interface important for your dental practice?

SLIDA is an interface created by Dentsply Sirona to connect Sidexis 4 with your Practice Management Software (PMS) and other third-party software.

• Your patient data is automatically synchronized with Sidexis 4, so there is no need to create patients manually. And if you change e.g. the name of a patient, it gets synchronized as well.
• You can send a patient X-ray with just a single click in your PMS to Sidexis 4. Sidexis 4 will then automatically register this patient and sets your X-ray device so that it's ready for exposure.
• Your PMS will receive a confirmation for your billing that a requested X-ray image has been taken.
• Acquired 2D images can be transferred automatically to your PMS if you prefer to do your diagnosis there.

More than 200 Practice Management Systems worldwide are already connected to Sidexis 4 via the SLIDA interface.
