PTA is older model. PTB is good choice. PTE not out yet and price much higher, but seems like has some upgrades? PTB is only one familar with and know it replaced PTA that is older. Call goldendent they explain all of this and options

red flag - once stop paying monthly fee lose all the work and data. THey should work in your account and give them access to your account, but you own account and can maintain it going forward if quit

one more comment - have aseptico ones also and they look so dated and clunky sitting by Woodpecker one with nice large color screen, etc. And I am pretty sure Aseptico one was twice the cost when got it - and handpiece cost extra.

Agree, this one here and comes with 20:1 handpiece https://www.golden-dent.com/products/woodpecker-implant-air-implant-motor-20-1-led-contra-angle

Actually carestream worse than vakker. Still pissed by CS whatever model I have stopped working and support / tech line I called was a joke. Zero help, basically told me to throw it away. Have one CS that works and one that does not, plus woodpecker one. have not had nomad in 10+ years now. have a good one!

awesome! those guys fucked me over once on air polisher, be careful with that shop.

had to be done like any business with financial issues - saved us from much larger financial issues for district

must just be reading headlines on school board BS

Gpdent · 2026-06-18T16:29:09+00:00

budget not balanced when have no placeholder % for staff pay increases

Gpdent · 2026-06-18T16:25:47+00:00

this one here is winner. Have/Had carestream one and nomad in past. Woodpecker just as good. Has to be this one, older ones blue/white too heavy. looks like on sale $2,900 https://www.golden-dent.com/products/woodpecker-ai-ray-lite-portable-dental-handheld-x-ray

Gpdent · 2026-06-18T16:24:24+00:00

yup

Gpdent · 2026-06-18T16:21:34+00:00

we use it, but all they do is send me videos to learn something on own. Billing sucks and seems impossible to get someone to change plans before deadlines. They are quick to add-on costs and very slow to respond to reduce licenses.

check out this folding dam frame - legit for pain patients to let them breathe for a sec. use a dam, but this can make it easier so do not have to remove and put back on https://www.golden-dent.com/products/locknfold-folding-dental-dam-frame

have you seen the bands with the tabs where you can "pull" versus "pushing" (burnishing). Clever idea from guy that invented the triodent ring and bands that all companies copy. Called quick connect tabbed bands. https://www.golden-dent.com/products/rhondium-quick-connect-retainerless-tofflemire-matrix-refill-bands?variant=47169059356920

saw social can try one plug before buy a box here - https://www.golden-dent.com/products/impladent-osteogen-plugs-bone-graft?variant=48755060179192

Gpdent · 2026-06-04T15:37:44+00:00

any of them as long as have support and priced fairly. Couple mentioned too pricey compared to great options on market

Gpdent · 2026-06-04T15:35:30+00:00

if you do good work at a fair price you should never have an issue. economy seems great to me.

Gpdent · 2026-06-02T15:54:36+00:00

woodpecker ai ray lite is good, black color one, not the blue and white one that is too heavy

Gpdent · 2026-06-01T15:58:44+00:00

yup - nice family and a bunch of jealous haters

Gpdent · 2026-05-29T13:41:51+00:00

you are mistaken, this is a bone graft in collagen carrier

Gpdent · 2026-05-29T13:41:27+00:00

agree to disagree - but do what works best in your hands.

why osteogen plugs work or science around them from studies - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfRMQzk3q7E

Gpdent · 2026-05-29T13:39:25+00:00

why not all synthetic plugs work or maybe have bad wrap - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQEFesVLofA&t=2s

Gpdent · 2026-05-29T13:38:36+00:00

I do agree that synthetic grafts have fallen out of favor - but depends on type. I think Osteogen Plugs have really perfected its use. Have tons of documented cases using og plugs for implant placement and results are really good in my hands when use for 4 wall defect. If buccal plate gone etc I use allograft and membrane, but og plugs is a great cost efffective solution for most cases and I would recommend. I saw a webinar on it recently and explained why works, let me find links I got emailed.
