Instructions for Sidexis 2.x Integration
MouthWatch cameras easily integrate with Sidexis imaging software. Use the MouthWatch camera to capture images of the patient and store them directly into the patient record.
Step 1 – Download the Button Capture Software
If setting up a MouthWatch Plus+, make sure to install the required driver by checking the box during installation.
- Once installed, right-click the MouthWatch Capture icon in the lower right corner of your screen.
- Hover over Other Software, then left-click Sidexis 2.x.
If you don’t see the MouthWatch Capture icon, click the ^ button to expand the System Tray. You can drag and drop the icon from the expanded System Tray down to your Taskbar.
Step 2 – Plug in the MouthWatch Camera
Make sure you plug the USB connector into a powered USB port. Sometimes these are located on the front or back of the computer. If your monitor has USB ports, these may not be powered.
If setting up a MouthWatch Plus+, use a USB 3.0 port.
Step 3 – Confirm MouthWatch Capture Detects the Camera
Once the camera is plugged in, the MouthWatch Capture icon should turn blue in the system tray, indicating it sees the camera.
Step 4 – Configure Sidexis Manager
Open Sidexis Manager from the Windows Start menu.
- Select NGVidCap from the menu.
- Ensure Use WDM device is checked in the upper-left corner.
- Select USB Video Device from the device list.
Step 5 – Capture Intraoral Photos
Open Sidexis, select a patient, and click the Intraoral Camera icon on the left toolbar. The camera will open and allow you to begin taking photos. Images will save directly to the patient record.
Step 6 – All Set!
You are now ready to begin capturing images directly into Sidexis.
