Are there any user trainings available?
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 web site using the link "Manuals".
Furthermore, interactive video tutorials can be found here.
Can I also see my CEREC data in the Timeline?
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.
Can I change the IO template countdown until a connection to the sensor has been established again?
Yes, this is possible within the Sidexis 4 settings. Setting the parameter to <1s allows access between different positions of the template within only about five seconds. In the meantime, the sensor can be repositioned accordingly.
Can IO templates (FMX) be created?
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.
Is it possible to import the already available IO images into an IO template?
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.
Does Sidexis 4 support DICOM standard?
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.
Can I connect my intraoral camera?
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:
- TWAIN: all cameras that have a TWAIN driver can be integrated into the recording phase of Sidexis 4.
- 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.
I am currently working with Sidexis XG. Can I transfer my previous exposures to Sidexis 4?
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.
How do I get a SLIDA interface?
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.
How to establish a SLIDA interface?
SLIDA is available to all companies that want to connect their software to SIDEXIS or vice versa. Users can choose from a wide range of different options: patient data transfer, automatic patient selection, transfer of X-Ray orders, export of images to the relevant partner software.

If you have any questions, please contact Dentsply Sirona. Please also let us know when you have successfully connected your software to SLIDA. We will then be able to include you in our reference list.
Do I need special PCs in order to run Sidexis 4?
