news4 Show Review IDS Cologne 2015 nDigital systems once again domi- nated the floor of the International Dental Show in Cologne and no where else was this evident than at the booth of Sirona. In addition to numerous in- novations in imaging systems it also saw the premiere of further develop- mentsofthecompany’sCERECsystem. Presenting itself as an experi- enced specialist in the field of digital technologies for dentists and dental technicians, the company said to have entered a new phase of seamless inte- gration. “We serve as a guide for dentists and dental technicians who have cho- sen to switch entirely to digital solu- tions or who intend to master the field gradually,” President and Chief Exe- cutive Officer Jeffrey T. Slovin said. “Basedondecadesofexperienceinus- ing digital technologies, Sirona is in a better position than any other com- panyinthedentalindustrytonetwork these systems.” A good example for this was the new ORTHOPHOS SL extraoral X-ray unit featuring two new technologies. While the Direct Conversion Sensor converts X-rays directly into electri- cal signals, a reconstructive Sharp Layer process makes sure that panoramic images are automatically focused to deliver significantly sharper images. The imaging work- flow is further supported by the SIDEXIS 4 software, that allows the user to gain a quick overview about the patient’s history and about all of his or her relevant image data, too. With the system, 2D images and 3D scans can be examined at the same time. AccordingtoSirona,thiscombina- tion of hardware and software is ide- ally coordinated with its integrated digital solutions, thus creating effi- cient workflows for simultaneous sur- gical and prosthetic planning of im- plants. Airways in patients with ob- structive sleep apnea can also be analysed this way. Another point of attraction at IDS turnedouttobeCEREC.Manyvisitors were fascinated by the experience of live fabrications of dental restora- tions. Through a new cooperation with Align Technologies, announced at IDS, digital impression data can now also be submitted directly for or- dering transparent aligners for cor- recting misaligned teeth, such as In- visalign. “After 30 years of leading den- tistryintoadigitalera,weareexpand- ing our focus to orthodontic treat- ment,” Slovin commented. “With the seamless digital model submission to the Invisalign Doctor’s Site, we once again show our dedication to provid- ing our customers with truly inte- grated systems that make dentistry better, safer and more efficient.” According to Slovin, the new CEREC Ortho software is based on a patented, guided scanning process us- ingtheCERECOmnicam,whichisnow also available as the CEREC AF table- top version. The software connects CEREC and Invisalign seamlessly, en- ablingdigitalmodelstobetransmitted without much effort. One of the fields where the inte- gration of CEREC is particularly evi- dent is implantology, as both the data gathered from the impression and the X-ray software are collected by the CERECsoftwareandprocessedforthe production of a drilling template (CEREC Guide 2) as well as for the de- signandmanufacturingofsuperstruc- tures. The software also controls the grinding and milling machine, mean- ing that not only the care of a patient can be planned with CEREC but also the entire production process.7 Sirona sets new standards for digital workflows Manufacturer facilitates seamless integration of products and processes at IDS www.zeiss.com/dental-book The moment you discover the hidden detail.
