Choose your sensor
Four RVG sensors. One clear choice.
Two generations, two sizes each. The 5200 is superb value at 16 lp/mm; the 6200 steps up to 24 lp/mm with the full CS Adapt filter set. Size 1 suits periapicals and endo, Size 2 suits bitewings and posteriors. Buy online below — we still install it, match it to your software and train your team.

Smart-value small sensor at 16 lp/mm. Waterproof, with three pre-set contrast filters — ideal for single-tooth and root-canal imaging.
RVG 5200 · Size 2
The everyday bitewing workhorse at 16 lp/mm. Waterproof and durable, with pre-set filters for fast, reliable posterior imaging.
RVG 6200 · Size 1
Our sharpest small sensor at 24 lp/mm, with CS Adapt filters and a thin, comfortable design — built for implant and endodontic detail.
RVG 6200 · Size 2
Top-tier bitewing and posterior imaging at 24 lp/mm. Waterproof and shock-resistant, with the full CS Adapt filter set.

Why go direct
The fastest way from exposure to answer.
A phosphor plate has to be carried to a scanner and read. Film has to be processed. A direct sensor skips all of it — the image appears on screen the moment you take the shot. Across a busy day, those saved seconds add up to real chair time.
Position
Seat the sensor — the thinner rear-entry cable makes placement easier and comfier for the patient.
Expose
One exposure at a low dose. No plate to sleeve and carry, no darkroom, no waiting.
View
The image is on screen in under two seconds — ready to zoom, enhance and diagnose while the patient is still in the chair.
What you get
Built for speed. Made to last.
Instant image
On screen in under two seconds. No scanning step, no processing — just position, expose, view.
Up to 24 lp/mm clarity
True resolution that resolves fine canals, margins and bone detail — 16 lp/mm on the 5200, 24 lp/mm on the 6200.
Pre-set image filters
Perio, endo and dentin-enamel presets tuned to the job — the right image, first look. CS Adapt on the 6200.
Tough & waterproof
Shock-resistant against bites and drops, and fully submersible for proper disinfection.
Easy placement
A thinner cable and smooth, rounded feel make seating quicker and kinder for the patient.
Works with your software
Integrates with most practice-management and imaging software — no need to rip out your setup.
Perfect partner
A sensor is only as good as its placement.
Hand-holding a sensor drifts — cone-cuts, overlaps, retakes. DenBite universal holders lock the geometry for you, so every RVG image is diagnostic first time.
- Fits Carestream (and Kodak) RVG sensors, Size 1 & Size 2
- Autoclavable to 134°C — reusable at a disposable price
- Holders for every view, plus the open-basket endo design
The name you already trust
The sensor that set the standard.
RVG — RadioVisioGraphy — was the original direct digital intraoral sensor, known for years as the Kodak RVG and now made by Carestream. Same trusted line, same name dentists still ask for, refined over decades into today's RVG 5200 and 6200. If you learned digital radiography on a Kodak RVG, this is where it went next.
Frequently asked
Good questions, straight answers.
Both are direct digital sensors from the same Carestream RVG line. The 5200 gives you 16 lp/mm resolution at a lower price — excellent for everyday general dentistry. The 6200 steps up to 24 lp/mm with the full CS Adapt filter set, for the finest detail in implant and endodontic work. Both come in Size 1 and Size 2.
Yes. RVG was originally a Kodak product and is now made by Carestream — the same trusted sensor line, still called RVG. If your practice still refers to it as the Kodak RVG, the 5200 and 6200 are its current generations.
Size 1 is ideal for periapicals and endo; Size 2 is ideal for bitewings and posteriors. Many practices run one of each — tell us your caseload and we’ll advise.
In almost all cases, yes. RVG sensors integrate with most dental practice-management and imaging software. Tell us what you run and we’ll confirm compatibility before you buy, then set it up for you.
Very. RVG sensors are shock-resistant against bites and drops, and fully waterproof — they can be submerged in disinfectant for proper cross-infection control.
Yes. DenBite universal holders fit Carestream and Kodak RVG sensors in both Size 1 and Size 2, giving you accurate, repeatable placement and fewer retakes. They’re autoclavable and reusable.
Yes — that’s the point of buying from us. We match the sensor to your software, install it, and train your team on the workflow. Finance is available through Bramar, Performance Finance and Aspired Finance.
