The Oral Surgeon must take into account that errors can occur when transferring the information obtained from the pre-operative radiographic studies to the intra-operative surgical reality.
It is desirable to have a method of checking during the surgical procedure that allows to verify if the position, direction and the length of the drill are correct.
Periapical radiographs are very accurate as long as the depth probe and the film are parallel and the central beam is perpendicular to both. This is practically impossible to achieve during surgery.
By fitting Sniper Xray to conventional film holder allows for consistent orthogonal radiographs and greater measurement precision.
University Testing & Proven Precision
Preliminary testing conducted by oral and maxillofacial radiologists at the University of Texas – San Antonio demonstrated Sniper Xray’s ability to maintain consistent projection geometry and deliver high precision in intraoperative periapical imaging.

Radiographic Verification of Sinus Anatomy and Implant Parallelism
Developed by an oral surgeon with more than thirty years of experience in implant placement, SXR was conceived after a clinical event that revealed the need for safer, more accurate intra-surgical guidance.
Born from Experience, Built for Precision
Developed by an oral surgeon with more than thirty years of experience in implant placement, SXR was born from a difficult moment: an iatrogenic injury to the inferior alveolar nerve that created an unpleasant experience for both the patient and the surgeon.
That incident became the spark that led me to search for a better way.
After years of facing the same challenges every surgeon knows — intraoperative doubts, fear of perforation, lack of surface contact, and limited bone availability — I began to envision a tool capable of verifying, in real time, the depth, angulation, and relationship to nearby anatomical structures.
What began as a simple idea evolved through countless prototypes, trials, and refinements until the solution finally took shape.
That’s how SXR came to life: from experience, from necessity, and from the desire to make every procedure safer and more predictable.
