ROCHESTER, New York – Aspen Dental Management, Inc., and PracticeWorks Systems, LLC, a subsidiary of Eastman Kodak Company, have signed an agreement for all new Aspen dental practices across the Northeastern and Midwestern United States - 30 in total - to integrate Kodak digital radiography (DR) solutions.

Aspen will equip each location with KODAK RVG 5000 Digital Radiography Systems and KODAK 8000 Digital Panoramic Systems by mid-year 2007. Seven installations are already in place. The companies also will collaborate on education programs for Aspen staff and patients.

The RVG 5000 System features high resolution for intraoral images, enabling dentists to make even the most complex diagnoses quickly and accurately. With high-speed USB 2.0 technology, the system acquires and displays images in seconds, minimizing the time dentists and patients must wait for results.

With the KODAK 8000 Digital Panoramic System, dental practitioners can capture clear, optimally exposed full panoramic images in seconds. This capability supports fast and accurate diagnoses, streamlining practice workflows, and improving communication with patients and colleagues.
