Midmark Progeny ClearVision Sensor Setup Guide

This guide describes the installation and setup of the Midmark Progeny ClearVision intraoral sensor for use with Dentrix Ascend Imaging.

Overview

Dentrix Ascend Imaging supports the acquisition of intraoral images from the Midmark Progeny ClearVision intraoral X-ray sensor on a computer running the Windows operating system. Drivers for the Progeny ClearVision sensor must be installed on each computer that the Progeny ClearVision sensor will be connected to. Calibration (correction) files must be installed on each computer that the Progeny ClearVision sensor will be connected to.
