Company set to become the new king of digital cephalometrics

ATLANTA, March 14, 2008 — tops™ today unveiled topsCephMate™, a digital cephalometric tracing program with crisp visuals, flexible tools and the bulletproof stability and security of the Mac OS X operating system.

The program was introduced to topsOrtho™ users at topsFest 2008™, the company’s annual users meeting.

topsCephMate continues the tops commitment to giving users best-in-class tools for their practices. topsCephMate creates PDFs that integrate easily with topsOrtho, the Mac OS X-based orthodontic practice management system with imaging — the tops flagship product — as well as other programs.

The program is expected to be delivered this year, and is available for pre-order for $2,000 for a single user license until June 30. The license will retail for $3,500 after June 30. Network pricing will be announced shortly after pre-orders close.

“topsCephMate is all about freedom,” said tops Founder and CEO Dr. Mark Sanchez. “The orthodontist or staff member should be free to create tracings without being forced into modes that they can’t get out of. And they should be able to do it with a minimal amount of effort.

“topsCephMate supports flexibility and boosts practice productivity with a ceph program that has the same security, stability and flexibility as topsOrtho. We designed topsOrtho’s practice management to act as a digital hub for all orthodontic software, giving doctors the freedom to use all the programs they like best,” he said.

Drs. McCamish, Farrar and Cooper of Chattanooga, Tenn., are looking forward to topsCephMate.

“The tops team has gone above and beyond to meet the needs of our practice,” said Dr. DeWayne McCamish. “We have been extremely pleased with the topsOrtho management system and are equally excited about changing from an older cephalometric tracing program to a new ceph program designed by our friends at tops.”

topsCephMate saves doctors and staff members time, since they don’t have to open and close windows or change functions to manipulate the program. A step-by-step instruction window that can move anywhere on the screen guides users as they develop tracings.

Among the flexible features:

• A spotlighting feature takes the eye along the linear aspects of a measurement.
• Real-time measurement changes as landmarks and contours are moved, illustrating how other measurements are impacted.
• An innovative radial menu for quick navigation.
• One-click access to facial, x-ray, blended and treatment views.
• Fast fades from one image to another.
