What If Your Dentist Never Had to Retake an X-Ray Again?

A groundbreaking innovation developed by Dr Suresh Kandagal Veerabhadrappa, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Dentistry, SEGi University, has been published in the prestigious Imaging Science in Dentistry journal. The research introduces a patent-pending intraoral X-ray cone equipped with integrated positioning laser lights—an advancement poised to transform dental radiographic practices by significantly reducing positioning errors and enhancing image clarity.

This novel device ensures precise alignment during radiographic procedures, especially when using the bisecting angle technique. By reducing misalignments, the technology improves diagnostic image quality, minimises patients’ radiation exposure, and reduces the need for repeated X-rays—saving clinical time and radiographic resources. Such innovations directly enhance treatment outcomes, patient safety, and overall efficiency in dental healthcare delivery.
