business12 IDEM Singapore 2014 Show Preview that joining forces with this high- techmedicaldevicecompanywould be a valuable addition to our own leadingexpertisein3-Dimagingand software solutions. Their special ex- pertise and innovative ideas pro- vide a great foundation for future projectsthatwillcombinetheknow- how of both companies. What advantages will this invest- ment offer dental customers worldwide? The new partnership with E4D Technologies will enable us to offer ourcustomersthemostmodern CAD/CAM innovations. Our productdistributioninover120 countries combined with the cut- ting-edge E4D innovations will in- crease global product availability and take computer-aided dentistry to the next level. Our customers will also benefit from the innovative combination and seamless integra- tion of Planmeca’s and E4D’s prod- ucts and services. How will this improve the daily workflow at clinics? One great advantage is the inte- gration of X-ray imaging and CAD/CAM into a single software platform, Planmeca Romexis. For the first time, customers will have the option of one software interface for both X-ray imaging and CAD/ CAM work. All patient data is also saved in the same database and it can be shared immediately and eas- ily through the clinic’s network or with the Planmeca Romexis Cloud service. Furthermore, the restora- tions designed in the CAD module can easily be combined with the pa- tient’s 3-D X-ray images for implant planning purposes, for example. For the patients, this means convenient same-day dentistry. Can you also tell us about the brand new intra-oral scanner that you launched recently? Our new Planmeca PlanScan in- tra-oralscannerisanultra-fast,pow- der-free and open solution for 3-D digital impressions. Its advanced blue laser technology accurately captures hard and soft tissue of var- ious translucencies, dental restora- tions, models and impressions. It is the world’s first dental unit-inte- grated intra-oral scanner and can be used through a laptop as a stand- alone version. Together with our Planmeca Romexis software, the system supports an ideal digital treatment workflow. How will both Planmeca and E4D benefit from this investment? On the one hand, this investment strengthens Planmeca’s position in the fast-growing CAD/CAM busi- ness and Planmeca benefits from E4D’s cutting-edge solutions and long-term CAD/CAM expertise. On the other hand, Planmeca’s exten- sive distribution network enables E4D Technologies to grow globally andourleadingdentalimagingsolu- tions will be a valuable addition to the E4D CAD/CAM platform.
