OnyxCeph³™ Program Versions



Program version OMS is focussed on combined orthodontic & oral maxillofacial surgical treatment planning basing on digital models and volume Xray data. This program version integrates all functinality of program version 3D Pro including option Treatment Simulation 3D (Sim 3D), Waefer Creation 3D plus 20 concurrent network clients. In addition, other optional modules (e.g., modules Wire_Bonding, Aligner 3D, Retainer 3D, V.T.O.3D) but also customized lab modules developed by Image Instruments can be activated on request.

All program versions OnyxCeph³ can be used in a client/server network setup. By integrated options for synchronized data exchange via container the online and offline communication between practices and also between practice and laboratory is widely supported.

The export of 3D data in open formats like STL, OBJ, ZPR, OFF, DXF or PLY is supported in this program version. Program version OMS is only available in license type RL+ (purchase license).


Program version LAB is intended for use by dental laboratories and dental service providers. This program version integrates all functinality of program version 3D Pro including option Virtual Setup (V.T.O.3D) plus 20 concurrent network clients. In addition, several optional modules (e.g., modules Wire_Bonding, Aligner 3D, Retainer 3D, Waefer Creation, Treatment Simulation 3D) but also customized lab modules developed by Image Instruments can be activated on request.

Program version 3D PRO is intended for use in orthodontic and OMS practices where 2D images and 3D findings are available at the same time. Modules Wire_Bonding, Aligner 3D, Retainer 3D, V.T.O.3D, Waefer Creation and Sim 3D can be activated on request.

Program version 3D PRO will help you to realize an effective workflow in archiving, diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient education and therefore to optimize practice management and patient treatment.

Education and training

The OnyxCeph³™ software has been used for years at many university orthodontic institutions not only in connection with treatment measures, but also for educational purposes.
In Europe, these include almost all universities in Germany and all in Austria and Switzerland, as well as university clinics in Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Croatia, Lithuania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary, and last but not least, the largest such orthodontic training institution in Europe, the Guys and St Thomas Hospital in London.
In addition, the software is frequently used for doctoral studies, research projects and other scientific work, as well as in the context of various long-term courses.
Naturally, against the background of a wide variety of organizational forms and teaching content, there are a large number of scenarios that are desired for optimal use of the software.
Infrastructure

Often problematic from a licensing and data protection perspective is the required access to as many of the available diagnostic and planning functions by as many/all students as possible.
Currently, due to the shift from classic courses to various forms of eLearning, the demand for local (decentralized) use outside the university network is playing an increasingly important role.
In order to clearly separate productive and teaching use, many institutions already use a separate (usually virtual) training server with its own license, on which only anonymized data sets or data sets released for this purpose are processed.
Such education servers can then be accessed within the university network with hardware approved for this purpose (e.g., in the computer cabinet or with mobile devices).
However, this requires an infrastructure that cannot be secured in terms of space and IT at all institutions and, even if it can be, can only be used at certain times and by a limited number of students at the same time.
Flexible Use

In order to eliminate as many such restrictions as possible and at the same time to enable a flexible, but for Image Instruments as manufacturer also practically manageable, economically justifiable and legally compliant use of the OnyxCeph³™ software for education and training purposes, a special program version OnyxCeph³™ EDU will be offered from 2021. This will enable registered students and course participants to use the software on their private hardware with a single-user license and to the extent required non-commercially for a protective fee of EUR 100 p.a. For this purpose, only each of these personalized single-user licenses must be assigned to an educational institution, which itself uses its own educational license, separate from productive cases.
