If you select a patient from the Patient List, the application will show any associated images
acquired for that patient, along with the date and time the images were first created.
The following figure displays a typical example after selecting a certain patient from the list.
BW, which is the abbreviation of Bitewing, will be displayed on the Bitewing image.
Click Image View on the Function Tab. If you click the image you want to be displayed from the
images aligned on the Thumbnail window, the color surrounding the image will change, as shown in
the picture below. If you drag and drop this onto the main window, you will see the full-size image.
Patient
The function tab consists of Patient, Image View, Periapical, Consultation and Mounts sub-tabs
as shown below.
The Patient tab is divided into Patient List and Image List windows.
When you click on the patient you want to treat from the Patient List, an Image List for that patient
will be shown, along with a preview of images taken in the Thumbnail window above.
If you click on an image file from the ‘Image List’, the corresponding
image will be focused with purple color among many images on the
‘Thumbnail’ window.
Image view
Please refer to section 2.1.4 Thumbnail for view of images in Image view.
Periapical
The periapical feature plays an important role to view around an apex of the tooth root and the tooth
numbering system.
There are two different options for tooth numbering within EasyDent – the F.D.I numbering system
and the Universal numbering system (USA).
The Periapical tab shows the images acquired by the intraoral sensor according to the location of
the tooth.
After specifying the correct tooth location for the intraoral image, from the Periapical Tab you can
see a layout of the patient tooth images according to designated tooth positions for individual intra-
oral images. In addition, as shown on the Periapical view Mode, the bitewing area is shown on either
left or right side of the image. The number shown beneath each image implies that the images by
that number are saved for that location.
Changing the saved location of the tooth: When the image of the tooth is designated to the wrong
location, you can amend it by following these steps:
Once you select the tooth image that is incorrectly placed, an orange frame will surround the image.
If you click and drag the image to the location you wish to move to, a dialogue box named Change
position of tooth will pop-up.
After verifying the location of the tooth and clicking apply, you can verify that the image has been
moved to the correct location.
Consultation

images can be organized so as to easily explain the patient’s condition during consultation.
Intra-Oral Sensor
Intra-Oral Camera

11 Window
This chapter explains the method which the user can use to view the windows in a convenient layout.
This is the basic image display window of EasyDent. On the left is the patient information, on top is
the menu bar, beneath is the toolbar in icons and buttons, and on the middle is a display of the
patient’s teeth.
Click Window → Main Screen on the menu bar or click WINDOW icon on the toolbar, to see the
Main Screen in default mode. (This display is a default screen set at the start of EasyDent software.)
Click Window → Extended Screen and you will see the window as shown below.
Click Window → Full Screen on the menu bar or click the WINDOW icon on the toolbar (You may
also use the ALT+ENTER), and you will see the window similar to the figure below.
1. The full screen can only be entered through the extended screen
mode. Thus the full screen button will not be active on the main
screen.
2. If you double-click the mouse on the full screen, it returns to the
extended screen.
11.4 1 Window
With this window, the user will be able to view only one selected image.
By clicking Window → 1 Window on the menu bar or WINDOW → 1 Window on the toolbar icons,
you will be able to view a selected image.
This enables image window to split into two areas, as shown in the following figure.
A. Click Window → 2 (2*1) Window on the menu bar or WINDOW → 2 (2*1) Window on the
toolbar icons, then the screen will be split into two parts.
B. Click and drag the images of your choice from the Thumbnail to those areas.
C. Click Window → Extended Screen, or double-click the main screen to extend the screens.
D. Place your mouse pointer on the border of two image windows, and then a bar with two arrows
will appear in the middle. You can adjust the size of the each image window, according to your
preference.
The window size adjustment is effective only for the full and
extended screens.
The rest of the window arrangements will appear like the images.
EzDICOM Print is the DICOM Print function built in EasyDent that can print Panorama/Cephalo
images acquired from the patient through the DICOM Film Printer, which supports an output of 1:1
real-size image or automatic fit-on function.
Function Description
A DICOM Film Printer has to be registered at the EzDICOM Print’s local AE Title (‘EVPRINT’).
For the printing options of DICOM Film Printer, the Magnification Type should be set to NONE and
CUBIC.
(SCP1: DICOM Service Class Provider; here, SCP refers to the DICOM Film Printer where the user
requests for Film Printers.)
A. Search and select the patient whose image you want to DICOM print.
B. On the thumbnail, choose the image that you want to DICOM print by clicking and dragging it
over to the ‘Image View’ window.
C. If you click the File → DICOM Print, the DICOM Print Mode dialogue box will appear. Choose
whether to print the Selected images of patient or All images of patient and then click Print.
When you run the DICOM Print and the image is uncalibrated, the
calibration dialogue box will appear, as shown below.
D. Once you click Print, an EzDICOM Print pop-up window will appear, as shown below.

2. Add: Add DICOM Printer. Click the Add button and the Add DICOM Printer window appears.
Input the information of the DICOM Printer, which you wish to add, and then click the Add
button.
4. Edit: You can edit the information of the DICOM printer. Select the DICOM printer you want to
edit then click the Edit button. An Add DICOM Printer window will pop up. Modify the DICOM
Printer information and click the Edit button.
5. Description: You can verify the AE Title, Host Address, Port Number, and information of the
selected DICOM Printer.
You can set up the DICOM Film Size, Film Orientation, Medium type, Magnification, as well as
the Calibration value of each film. When you modify the film size and orientation, the changes can
be viewed at the main form window.
Size
Orientation
The film orientation allows you to configure the lay-out of the film print to either Portrait (Vertical), or
Landscape (Horizontal). Portraits are usually used for Cephalometric images, while Landscapes for
Panorama images.
When you modify the film size and orientation, its changes can be
viewed at the main form window.
Medium Type
You can choose the film type to either CLEAR FILM or BLUE FILM.
Magnification
You can choose the magnification option from the four types (NONE, REPLICATE, BILINEAR, or
CUBIC), which are available for application on the image data.
Film Calibration
The Film Calibration allows the user to input the Real Length and the Ruler Length values in order
to print in a 1:1 ratio with DICOM Print.
z Apply Value: Input the Real Length and the Ruler Length, and then click the Calc button to get
the Apply Value (Apply = Real Length / Ruler Length).
z Real Length: Input the real ruler measurement of the image size.
z Ruler Length: Input the size measured by the ruler on the image.
When measuring the ruler value on the image with a real ruler, there can be differences. You need
to input the value of the location where the ruler on the image and the real ruler scale are matching.
Also, the bigger the calibration scale values, the higher the accuracy.
In the Apply Option part, you need to clarify whether the Calc value will be applied to all films or just
the film selected by the user, and then press Apply.
Since film sizes differ from the DICOM printers and film manufacturing companies, an actual 1:1 real
size compensation of each DICOM printer and film size must proceed prior to using the printer.
First, the ratio of the ruler length on the film print and the actual ruler length should be checked.
For example, if the lengths measured using the ruler on the film and an actual ruler are 100mm and
98mm, respectively, and then enter 98 in the Real Length field and 100 in the Ruler Length field.
Click the Calc button, and then the value 100/98=1.02040…will appear in the Apply Value field.
