📝 Please Note - These specifications apply only to EXAMINE Pro and do not account for any additional software you may use alongside it such as Dentally.

Supported Operating Systems

A Microsoft-supported operating system is recommended for EXpro. This ensures continued security updates and system stability. Your choice of operating system may be limited by your hardware or additional practice management software, so please check compatibility with your equipment suppliers.

🚨 Important - Windows 2000 is not supported.

RAM requirements

  • Server minimum RAM: 4 GB

  • Additional computers minimum RAM: 4 GB

  • If you're using Sirona-based devices (e.g., XIOS Sensor), your server should have at least 4 GB RAM for stable operation.

Digital imaging storage requirements

  • Minimum screen resolution: 1280 x 1024
    (Lower resolutions may cause parts of the interface to be hidden or inaccessible.)

  • Minimum Storage Capacity for Imaging: 160 GB or more
    (Dependent on the expected volume of images captured at your practice.)

  • Recommended Storage Type: Internal Hard Drive or Solid State Drive on the main EXpro server PC.

    • Network-attached storage devices (NAS drives) are not supported, as it may result in poor performance due to slower network speeds.

💡 Top Tip - Digital imaging requires substantial storage, and you may benefit from a dedicated graphics card with hardware acceleration for smoother performance

Alternatively, Dentally Vision offers a server-free, cloud based imaging experience 🚀 Discover move about Dentally Vision.

Device compatibility

Some legacy capture hardware may not be supported on modern operating systems.
For example, older ISA-based capture cards used with early Trophy/Kodak devices may not function on systems running Windows XP or later.

Trophy / Kodak Equipment

If your practice uses Trophy or Kodak-branded X-ray equipment, its important to note that multiple versions of Kodak Imaging software exist. EXAMINE pro have tested and currently support the following versions:

  • V6.0.5.5

  • V6.1.7.0

  • V6.3.7

  • V6.4.4.0

  • V6.8.2.0A

  • V6.8.4.1A

  • V6.8.6.0

  • V6.10.7.3A

  • V6.11.6.2A

  • V6.12.5.2B

  • V6.12.11.0A

  • V6.12.15.0A

If you're unsure which version is installed or required, please speak with your imaging equipment provider or IT support.

💡 Top Tip: It is recommended that all X-ray and imaging devices be fully configured and operational with their manufacturer’s software before installing EXAMINE Pro.
