Consultants’ Comments

• “Provides natural color images.”
• “Image is very crisp.”
• “Camera head is thin and narrow – allows easy access in posterior areas.”
• “Camera unplugs for easy transfer among operatories.”
• “Depressing the foot pedal too long will change the viewing mode.”

Description

Sopro 575 is a fiberoptic intraoral camera system for use with a television monitor or computer with the use of a capture card. Focal length settings allow four different views: portrait, smile, dental arch, and macro. Sopro 575 is able to freeze either one or four images on the video screen with the use of a foot pedal, and the images are non-inverted (inverted optional). Sopro 575 has preselected focus with a maximum magnification of 60x in macro mode. Sopro 575 is interchangeable between various docking stations so only one handpiece camera is needed. Nine consultants used Sopro 575 for a period of six months in daily routine dental procedures. This product received a 92% clinical rating.
