A selection of thematic “skins” lets you change the ambience of the interface according to your mood or patient personality.
Technical Capabilities
Aquarium will display with consistent quality on monitors 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. If you own Dolphin Imaging you can display the patient’s own images on one monitor while playing Aquarium on the other monitor.
With the appropriate setup, Aquarium can also be shared on your system’s network. Purchase the appropriate license to allow concurrent usage of Aquarium. Aquarium integrates with both Dolphin Imaging and Dolphin Management, and it can also be used as a standalone 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 fndings, orthodontic and surgical corrective
procedures, appliances, hygiene, teeth eruption and more. Manufacturer-
specifc 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-specifc 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 specifc malocclusion (i.e. a
deep bite class II), you can link together the diagnosis of the malocclusion;
specifc 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
specifc 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.
