W&H launches Seethrough CBCT with integrated digital ecosystem
W&H CBCT system integrates with surgical motors and cloud platforms; understand how in-house imaging affects workflow and patient retention.
New CBCT units emphasize integrated workflows
W&H has introduced the Seethrough CBCT range, comprising the Seethrough Max and Seethrough Flex units. Both systems combine 2D and 3D imaging with Seethrough Studio software and integration to ioDent, W&H's cloud platform for image access and patient data management. The Max offers a field of view up to 17x17 cm and suits endodontics, implantology, oral surgery, and ENT applications. The compact Flex delivers up to 14x10 cm field of view and requires minimal practice space while matching the larger unit's image quality.
Design and image quality features
Both units employ face-to-face positioning that allows clinicians to maintain eye contact with patients during scanning, improving comfort and scan accuracy. Seethrough Studio software includes an advanced patient motion correction algorithm to enhance 3D and 2D image sharpness and detail while reducing distortion. The software integrates with most patient management systems and connects to ioDent as standard, enabling seamless data flow between diagnosis and treatment planning.
Clinical workflow integration
W&H has designed Seethrough to work within connected ecosystems rather than in isolation. The system integrates with the Implantmed Plus 2 surgical motor and newly launched Oral Surgery Compass, creating streamlined workflows from diagnosis through implant surgery. According to Dr Vivak Shah, the first UK adopter of the Seethrough Flex, bringing imaging in-house has reduced external referrals, eliminated administrative delays, and improved patient communication by enabling clinicians to discuss scans and treatment options during the consultation itself. The face-to-face design and clear on-screen presentation reinforce patient perception of high-quality care.
Frequently asked questions
What are the field of view specifications for W&H Seethrough Max and Flex?
The Seethrough Max offers a field of view up to 17x17 cm, covering endodontics, implantology, oral surgery, and ENT applications. The Seethrough Flex provides up to 14x10 cm field of view in a more compact footprint.
How does Seethrough integrate with existing practice systems?
Seethrough Studio software connects seamlessly with most patient management systems and integrates with ioDent, W&H's cloud platform, as standard. The system also integrates with the Implantmed Plus 2 surgical motor and Oral Surgery Compass for streamlined diagnosis-to-treatment workflows.
What benefits does face-to-face positioning offer in CBCT scanning?
Face-to-face positioning allows clinicians to maintain eye contact with patients, guide them into optimal scan position, and improve overall patient comfort and tolerance. This design reduces patient anxiety and improves the quality of the consultation experience.
How does bringing CBCT imaging in-house affect practice workflow?
In-house imaging eliminates external referrals, reduces administrative delays, and enables clinicians to discuss scans during consultations rather than waiting for external reports. This improves patient communication about treatment options and supports better clinical decision-making.
What image quality features does Seethrough Studio offer?
Seethrough Studio includes an advanced patient motion correction algorithm that enhances both 3D and 2D image sharpness, detail, and clarity while reducing distortion, enabling more accurate diagnoses and precise treatment planning.
