TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 25, 2014 -- DDS Lab, a national dental
laboratory based in Tampa, FL, announces its newest service, OrthoVault.
OrthoVault addresses the need for dentists and orthodontists to store patient
study models by allowing them to store their models securely online and access
them at any time.
Traditionally, study models are created for each orthodontic patient out of
fragile plaster and physically stored for a minimum of seven years. With
OrthoVault, models or impressions are scanned to create a digital file that the
practitioner can quickly and easily recall from OrthoVault's web portal 24
hours a day.
"We have found that the cost of storing large quantities of study
models for many years as well as the challenge of locating models once they are
placed in storage is a real problem for our customers," said Amy Ceresa,
President of DDS Lab. "Additionally, these plaster study models are
extremely breakable, putting them at great risk if they are ever dropped or
mishandled. OrthoVault saves dentists and orthodontists time, money, and
frustration, while guaranteeing the security of their records."
The key benefits of OrthoVault's online solution are the speed of delivery,
the elimination of physical storage, the ability to recall any model 24/7/365
online, and the confidence that comes from knowing the records are safe and
secure for years to come.
Dentists and orthodontists can be confident in the security of their files
as OrthoVault meets all the security standards for HIPAA as well as the FDA.
OrthoVault's files are stored securely in SSL-encrypted databases. The servers
are regularly backed up to multiple locations to ensure the data is always
preserved.
OrthoVault's digital study models are created by scanning rough models or
impressions using state-of-the-art equipment. Once scanned, the models are
perfected by expert technicians to create the finished file. Finished digital
study model files are available in half the time of a traditional plaster study
model.
OrthoVault files are available for download through a web portal, making it
easy to find and retrieve models now and in the future. The digital study
models are viewable using a free software program, OrthoViewer, which allows
dentists and orthodontists to manipulate their models in three dimensions and
make any necessary measurements. DDS Lab also offers three-dimensional printing
of OrthoVault files to create a durable resin model should a dentist or
orthodontist need a physical model.
OrthoVault's digital study model storage offers a convenient, easy-to-use
solution for dentists and orthodontists struggling to manage the storage of
traditional plaster study models. To learn more about this service, contact DDS
