Re: Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid... Ransomware

I got the Ransom Ware deal on my computer, the computer was locked up with the screen saying my data was now encrypted, etc. I immediately pulled the plug, disconnected external drives, ethernet cable, printers, everything. After re-boot, I ran a malware and virus scan which found 5 criticals which ...

Re: Dental RAT foot controlled perio input

thanks for this info on Dental Rat,..I just saw it at the Madow Bro's seminar in Vegas,..I was almost sold, thinking about the $ savings in not having an assistant writing down the probe depth numbers. The lady who demo'd it obviously had her 10,000hrs of practice, and made the inputs look easy. How...

best value xray sensor 2013

I see this topic kind of petered out a couple years ago in 2011, so I am wondering if there's any new best value out there on new digital xray sensors. I am disappointed to see that prices haven't gone down a bit in the last 5 years on EVA sensors,..still 6000 bucks on net32. Of my two EVA sensors I...

Re: dentist chair

Thanks everyone for the help. After reading Hersheydmd's post, I called Global Surgical: the scope they recommend (6 step) for general dentistry is 18K, then about 2K more for adapters for video-out to monitor and camera. It can be set up to swing between two adjacent operatories, but doesn't sound ...

dentist chair

Hello, my wife has been a dentist for almost 5yrs, and her lower back is killing her,..worse by the month. I can tell her active seating arrangement is the main culprit,..the angles are all wrong when she is looking into the pt's mouth. She's using a stool, and doesn't like loops (because they slip ...

Re: digital radiography

I got two EVA sensors (one on Ebay, the other from Net32); they both came with ProImage disks and work fine with OpenDental bridge and WinXP. So far they are trustworthy sensors, in use every day for 4 years without a hitch. They've been dropped and crunched. When I got these, they were the most ine...

scam? neuromuscular/LVI

Hello, I am managing my wife's practice. Thanks much for the help a couple years ago when I was setting up Open Dental. Now I need help fast! My wife is really "going" for this TENS/LVI/Neuromuscular stuff. I am reading the literature that she's bringing home,...and the term "elaborate hoax" comes t...

I have 4 questions and would appreciate input: Preface: We are opening our first dental practice this week. Exciting/Scary, since my wife graduated less than a yr ago from dental school. We are on a shoestring budget but are determined to have digital xray and intraoral cam from day one, even if it ...
