IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
VixWin Platinum is a software that allows you to view and take dental radiographs/x-rays. I have used VixWin Platinum through several different dental scheduling programs such as Softdent, Eaglesoft, Dentrix, etc. It is quite easy to use, easy to navigate, straightforward when it comes to mounting x-rays, adjusting the sharpness/contrast etc., and exporting and importing dental images and x-rays from other offices (e.g., if we important a pano from the oral surgeon or if we send a periapical x-ray to the periodontist, we can save it to desktop or email it straight through the program). It allows for each patient's x-rays to be saved all in their chart via cloud-based storage.
Pros
- Easy to use--pretty straightforward, especially when rotating x-rays, sharpening an image, and choosing between different mounts.
- You can set up the mounts how you like it (e.g., if you take a lot of bitewings, you can set up an easy-access "four bitewing" mount).
- Easy to import and export images when needed.
Cons
- There needs to be an easy way to "move" x-rays from one patient's chart to another. For example, it happens when you take x-rays under the wrong chart and need to move them. Sometimes in the process of moving them, they get lost.
Likelihood to Recommend
VixWin Platinum is suitable in a general/pediatric dental setting; it seems to be used in many offices I have been in--not sure if that's because of the price or maybe because it is so easy to use. I believe if you are a speciality practice where you need higher quality x-rays or more options in regards to x-ray editing, VixWin Platinum may not be the best. In my opinion, VixWin Platinum is basic. Be aware of the need for storage (depending on how large your practice is).
