DentalNavigator is an interactive application, which can be used by dentists to explain different methods of treatment to patients. The new Apple iPad together with the fitting HDMI adapter can be used to display the app on a large screen. Video projectors can be connected as well and therefore allow a presentation in lecture halls. Special features are the interactive 3D animations in real time, which can be controlled via the touch-sensitive display. The human skull is 360° rotatable and scaleable via the innovative zoom function of the iPad in order to have a closer look at the condyles and the movement of the mandible. DentalNavigator is built modularly and current topics such as checking occlusion, implantology and interactive jaw movement are implemented. Within each module high quality 3D animated videos explain various applications as well as products. New Modules: - Crowns and Bridges - Endodontics - Fillings and Inlays/Overlays
