Dentsply Sirona extends digital universe with Primescan Connect

---

At Dentsply Sirona World 2022, recently held in Las Vegas, the company unveiled new products including the Primescan Connect, a laptop-based version of its easy to use, fast and accurate intraoral scanner. Primescan Connect is powered by the cloud platform DS Core, with new features, and DS Core Care.

Cord Staehler, chief technology officer at Dentsply Sirona, said in a news release that the company is adding valuable components to its digital universe. 

“Digital impression is more than just a digital alternative for analog impression,” he said. “We can now offer a comprehensive digital workflow for treatment, patient monitoring, diagnostics and communication with patients and labs.”

The company has placed an emphasis on creating products and solutions that are user-friendly and integrate easily. All digital products and solutions were designed to be intuitive and to provide effective support for the treatment process, documentation and in practice organization. The company said that this can help dentists save time and money in day-to-day operations and allow them to focus more on their patients.

Primescan Connect

Primescan Connect offers what the company describes as a superior and highly connective 3D scanning technology for a lower investment than other products. The technology is more flexible and space-saving when not in use, and it also fosters collaboration with any lab by offering validated workflows to all major lab software.

Primescan Connect can be used for restorative indications, implantology, orthodontics and sleep appliances. 

Dr. Daniel Aniol, a dentist who practices in Bornheim, Germany, said that he has tested Primescan Connect in his practice, and was pleased with the results. 

“The new laptop-based solution of this great dental scanner convinced me right from the start with a simple initial installation, high flexibility and good integration into my existing system,” he said in the press release. 

DS Core, DS Core Care offer even more digital functionality

Primescan Connect is supported by DS Core and DS Core Care to enhance connectivity and deliver comprehensive service and support.

The cloud-based platform DS Core supports practitioners in their secure storage and sharing of data. The tool, which was developed in collaboration with Google Cloud and launched in March 2022, supports HIPAA and General Data Protection Regulation compliance and maintains the openness, flexibility and ease of use of the most common methods of a digital dental practice’s collaboration. It also allows users to access patient records anytime and anywhere. 

Dr. Daniel Butterman, a dentist from Centennial, Colorado, said that DS Core makes everyday work noticeably easy for him and his team. 

“It connects our Dentsply Sirona equipment and is accessible across multiple devices,” he said. “We can store different types of patient files and share them with partners and colleagues outside the practice. And [we do this] all with a clear conscience because we know that the storage and data functions have been developed in a way to support keeping our patients’ data safe and secure.”

Dentsply Sirona’s new products and solutions are available starting in September 2022. Due to various certification and registration periods, not all products are immediately available in all countries.
