Notes
1.
This category includes products that don’t have the possibility to install a ceph arm. All products with ceph are also available
as pan units “ready for ceph”.
2.
Rotograph Evo is also available as a pan-only unit. Nevertheless, the structure of the system is still designed for Pan+Ceph,
making it slightly more costly than some other competing products

EVO vs. Vatech Pax 400 – patient positioning
• Less positioning time required by Evo
? Necessity to regulate 3 laser references on Vatech
! Only 2 lasers present on Evo
• Higher patient visibility on Evo
! Presence of the adjustable mirror on Evo
? On the Vatech unit the convex mirror increases the difficulty
of patient positioning (deformed view)@
EVO vs. Vatech Pax 400 – ergonomic
• Simplified keyboard directly mounted on Evo
? Only virtual keyboard on the Vatech
! Possibility on the Evo to position the patient and set
parameters at the same time
• Evo has Direct storage on USB memory sticks
! Rotograph Evo can work even if not connected to a
computer!!
EVO vs. Vatech Pax 400 – Design
• Fresh and new industrial design of Evo
! Telescopic column present on Evo
! Glossy painting of all components
• Villa expertise in engineering of X-ray
devices
? Vatech founded in 1992 – active only in
dental
! Villa founded in 1958. Active in both
medical and dental

EVO vs. Vatech Pax 500
• Pax 500 offering scanning Ceph (Versa) or 1-shot
Ceph (OS)
− But ~2 seconds for 1 shot Ceph and ~13 seconds (!!) for
scanning Ceph
− Evo takes only 4,5 seconds with hi-speed scanning Ceph
• Pax 500 offering localized 3D reconstruction (ECT)
− But field of view (FOV) limited to 4x3 cm
− Necessity to go for more expensive Picasso units to get
area of exposure REALLY useful for implants
EVO vs. Vatech Pax 500 - patient positioning
• Straightforward procedure with Evo
• Presence of the camera on the 500 generates confusion
on the user (Look at camera? Look at patient? Look at
mirror?)@
• Once the positioning phase is concluded, 3-point
headrest keeps patient in place on the Evo, while only
thin wands are present on Pax 500
EVO vs. Vatech Pax 500
• Less positioning time required by Evo
? Necessity to regulate 3 laser references on
Vatech
! Only 2 lasers present on the Evo
• Evo has Direct storage on USB
memory sticks
! Rotograph Evo can work even if not
connected to a computer!!
Rotograph EVO
vs.
Vatech P&P
EVO vs. Vatech P&P
• Limited imaging capabilities on P&P
• Functionalities limited to standard
panoramic views, TMJ and Sinus
• No Ceph version
• Poor patient positioning
• Visibility of patient limited by big
carriage and fixed mirror
• Poor patient stability: no headrest
• Only flexible wands keeping patient in place
Rotograph EVO
vs. Sirona Orthophos XG5
EVO vs. Sirona Orthophos XG5 - Overview
• Fixed KV – ma combination on XG units
• Limited customization capabilities
• Complex mechanism for Digital Sensor Module
• 2 hands needed for coupling and releasing
• Absence of telescopic column
• Limited installation in case of low ceilings
• Mandatory connection with PC for unit functionality
No onboard storage capability
Rotograph EVO
vs. Sirona Orthophos XG3
EVO vs. Sirona Orthophos XG3 - Overview
• Fixed KV – ma combination on XG units
• Limited customization capabilities
• No Ceph possibility (must upgrade to XG5)
• No telescopic column
• Limited installation in case of low ceilings
• Mandatory connection with PC for unit functionality
No onboard storage capability
Rotograph EVO
vs.
Gendex 9200
EVO vs. Gendex Orthoralix 9200
! Fully-motorized primary collimation on Evo
• Selection of the right collimator is automatically done
according to the selected projection
• Manual collimator on Orthoralix
? Only single sensor Ceph
• Huge limitation for practices
with heavy Pan / Ceph
workflows
EVO vs. Gendex 9200 - patient positioning
• Less positioning time required by Evo
• Necessity to regulate 3 laser references on
9200
• Just 2 lasers present on Evo.
• Higher patient visibility on Evo
• Adjustable mirror on Evo
• Small mirror without regulation on 9200
EVO vs. Gendex 9200 - design & engineering
• 9200 is only a minor cosmetic
evolution of the Orthoralix SD
• Squared design typical of the mid 80s
• Absence of telescopic column
• No glossy painting and poorer finishing
? 9200 is engineered to work only if
connected with a PC
! Evo features a USB access for external
drive (ex. USB stick)@
! Rotograph Evo can work even if not
connected to a computer!!
Rotograph EVO
vs.
Gendex 8500
EVO vs. Gendex 8500
? Minimum imaging capabilities on 8500
• Programs limited to standard panoramic and child,
no TMJ, no Sinus
? No Ceph version on 8500
? Bad ergonomics on 8500
• Multi-Frankfurt laser generates confusion
• Presence of 2 separate keyboards not allowing a
straightforward workflow
? Poor patient positioning of 8500
• Visibility of patient limited by big carriage and
small mirror
• Poor patient stability: no headrest, only flexible
wands keeping patient in place
EVO vs. Gendex 8500 - design
“Low-cost” cosmetic impact of 8500
• Use of grainy painting, not glossy
• Poor assembly of components (mirror
“glued” on column, upper cover.
Multi-Frankfurt laser generates
confusion in the user
• Sensor engineered for 9200, thus not
fitting rest of the design
Rotograph EVO
vs.
Kodak 8000
EVO vs. Kodak 8000 - imaging and interface
•Poorer imaging capabilities on 8000
? Functionalities limited by the single-motor movement
! Evo's multi-motorized rotation allows optimized X-ray
trajectory
? Only 5 panoramic projections available on 8000
•8000 is only PC controlled
Absence of on-board keyboard is not allowing simultaneous
setting of patient and commands
•Requires a PCI acquisition card in the PC
Not possible to use a laptop. Poor network connectivity
EVO vs. Kodak 8000 - patient positioning
• Patient movement required during
positioning
• Patient positioning limited by the singlemotor: patient has to be adapted to the
machine by entering into image layer
• Evo's setting according to biting attitude
automatically adapts the focal layer
• Limited visibility of laser references
• On Kodak 8000, limited visibility of 3rd
reference coming from the top of the carriage
• On Evo, only 2 lasers are needed for perfect
positioning
EVO vs. Kodak 8000C – Single shot Ceph
Advantages:
• Reduced exposure times (although still requires up to 3.2 seconds)
Small
Detector
Scintillator
screen
Light
X-ray
Disadvantages:
• High patient dose (inefficient technology
based on scintillator screen, optics and
small sensor derived from intraoral)
• Big Dimensions (operating space 280cm)
• Poor image resolution
• Limited image area (18x24cm)
• Critical calibration
