Obturation Device

Case Study: Obturation Device

Obturation Device used by endodontists during root canal procedures.

Obturation Device

Working closely with our client’s mechanical and industrial design teams, Pentad Design developed the hardware and firmware for an obturation device used by endodontists during root canal procedures.

The Dental Device synthesizes complex stimulus output waveforms, synchronously alt tagreads back the response waveform then rapidly executes customized algorithms to present a real-time display. The DSP also handles keyboard scanning, CAN bus, LCD panel, timers, power management, audio output, user Interface, and communication with a PC.
