Air Techniques ScanX Intraoral Phosphor Storage Plate, Size 0, Wireless, Flexible is used for intraoral periapical radiographic imaging in pediatric patients, patients with restricted mouth opening from TMJ disorders, patients with large tori that limit standard plate positioning, patients with strong gag reflexes, and any clinical imaging situation where the smallest available intraoral phosphor plate dimension is required to achieve successful intraoral positioning and complete radiographic exposure without patient discomfort or failure to achieve required anatomical coverage at the periapical imaging site. As the smallest size in the ScanX intraoral PSP line, Size 0 provides the reduced plate dimensions needed for the restricted intraoral anatomical spaces of pediatric dentition, mandibular anterior areas in adult patients with limited lingual access, and any clinical scenario where Size 1 or larger plates cause patient discomfort or cannot be positioned to cover the required periapical anatomy.
Pediatric dentists, general dentists, and dental hygienists who perform intraoral radiography across pediatric and special needs patient populations find Air Techniques ScanX Size 0 the correctly dimensioned wireless phosphor plate for their pediatric and restricted-access intraoral radiographic imaging program.
?
Each pack contains 2 individual ScanX Size 0 phosphor storage plates, providing a two-plate working set for the imaging operatory. The 2-plate pack allows the practice to maintain one plate in the barrier envelope during positioning and exposure while a second plate is available for immediate sequential exposures in the same appointment without waiting for the first plate to be scanned and returned to the operatory. Each ScanX PSP is a reusable plate that requires proper barrier envelope protection during each intraoral use and careful handling during removal from the barrier and scanning to preserve the phosphor layer that stores the latent radiographic image for scanning.
Barrier envelopes are sold separately.

Air Techniques ScanX Size 0 phosphor storage plates work through the photostimulable phosphor storage mechanism where the phosphor layer within the plate captures and stores the latent image from the X-ray exposure as trapped electrons in the barium fluorohalide phosphor crystal matrix, which releases the stored image as visible light during laser scanning in the ScanX scanner, producing the digital radiographic image that displays on the workstation for diagnostic interpretation. Wireless, flexible plate construction at 30 times thinner than a comparable direct wired digital sensor provides patient comfort advantages that rigid wired sensors cannot achieve in the smallest intraoral spaces where even a small amount of material thickness significantly impacts patient tolerance and positioning success. Active PSP surface area across the full 100% of the plate dimensions captures nearly 40% more periapical and interproximal anatomy in the displayed radiographic image compared to a rigid wired sensor of equivalent nominal size, where the sensor housing frame reduces the active imaging area below the nominal size to a smaller effective capture area.
Operable in normal operatory room lighting without requiring a darkroom, ScanX plates allow the practice to manage intraoral radiographic imaging at the same location and under the same lighting conditions as clinical examination procedures.

Pediatric dentists imaging primary dentition periapical areas in young patients find Size 0 plates provide the correct plate dimension for comfortable positioning in the smaller intraoral spaces of children without the discomfort and positioning failures that standard adult Size 2 plates cause during pediatric periapical exposures. General dentists imaging mandibular anterior areas in adult patients with prominent floor-of-mouth anatomy, limited mouth opening, or lingual tori find Size 0 provides successful positioning where larger plates fail due to anatomical interference.
