Visualization is an effective educational tool. It promotes comprehension and eases communication with colleagues and patients of all ages. Dolphin Aquarium uses stunning 3D graphics to demonstrate the common and complex topics that are involved in diagnosis and treatment planning. Educated patients are more likely to exhibit a greater rate of case acceptance, and demonstrate a higher rate of compliance.

Fresh Graphical User Interface
The Aquarium interface is user-friendly and designed so that any member of your staff can easily operate it. Use the Playlists file to store linked, thematic media sequences for a one-click launch anytime! The navigation page allows you to visually scan the contents of the library, and also lets you preview the files. Topics are categorized intuitively, so the appropriate media can be located quickly and efficiently. A search feature also lets you find topics by key word. You also have the ability to create your own file of favorite media and store it under Playlists for easy searching.
Export Movies
You don’t need to be logged onto Aquarium to view its contents! Media can be exported to any standard Windows media file that can then be played on any technology, such as your Web site or in a PowerPoint presentation. You can also burn to CD or play on your iPod. Exported media must be watermarked with your office logo
for security.
Export/Import Playlists Share your favorite Playlists with other Aquarium users by simply saving it and installing it on
their system.
Comprehensive Library
Aquarium is much more than a storehouse of professionally rendered quality media covering comprehensive topics. It is an evolving library of presentations organized by a beautiful interface that allows for cross-referencing of all subjects. Under each topic is a series of presentations organized by diagnosis and treatment. Presentations consist of dynamic 3D animation, full-motion video, and before-and-after images that will engage and educate your patients.
Topics include diagnostic findings, orthodontic and surgical corrective procedures, appliances, hygiene, teeth eruption and more. Manufacturer-specific content such as brackets and appliances are also included.
Aquarium presentations clearly explain the need for treatment, its options, possible consequences of delaying treatment, details of the treatment, and special care following treatment.
Customize Content
Adding personal content in the form of photos and videos of your staff, your particular appliances, your own before and after demo patients, etc. lets you customize your Aquarium presentations for your practice needs. It is simple to do and requires no special computer skills.
Design your own presentations by linking media to illustrate your words, so that you can explain things exactly the way you want.
Create treatment-specific links with presentations sequenced together for easy, one-click launching of originally assembled “movies.” You or your staff can set up links that can be used for predictable circumstances, saving you time and labor.
For example, in anticipation of patients with a specific malocclusion (i.e. a deep bite class II), you can link together the diagnosis of the malocclusion; specific appliance(s) to treat the malocclusion; and a retention appliance. You could easily create various treatment scenarios that will allow you or your treatment coordinator to display the appropriate treatment sequencing specific to your practice.
In your Favorites area, you can save links to your favorite presentations. Add your own photos or videos, and include the slideshow in Previews so you can one-click into it the next time you need it.
Technical Capabilities
Aquarium will display with consistent quality on monitors and LCDs of all sizes, including wide screen monitors. Unlike many other similar programs, Aquarium content automatically conforms to your display, with no need to reconfigure computer resolution.
Aquarium also supports dual monitor configurations. Show Aquarium content on one monitor while the patient’s own images display simultaneously on another.
With the appropriate setup, Aquarium can also be shared on your system’s network. Purchase the appropriate license to allow concurrent usage of Aquarium. Further, Aquarium integrates with both Dolphin Imaging and Dolphin Management.
