Instructions for SIDEXIS 4.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 – Confirm Your Version of SIDEXIS
When launching Sidexis, note the version shown in the lower-right corner.
Step 2 – 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.
- A menu will display. Hover over Sidexis, then left-click Sidexis 4.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 3 – 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 4 – 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 5 – Select a Patient
From the tabs at the top of the home screen, select your patient.
Step 6 – Launch Video Acquisition
With the Exposure tab selected, click the intraoral wand icon in the lower-right corner of the screen.
If you do not see the wand icon in the lower right, you will need to contact Sidexis support to enable/setup the intraoral module.
The Live Video window will display.
- With MouthWatch Capture running in the system tray and set to Sidexis, each press of the camera capture button saves a thumbnail image along the side of the main image.
- When finished, click the X to close the window and assign the images to the patient record.
Step 7 – All Set!
You are now ready to begin capturing images directly into Sidexis.
