Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | 2/2017 INDUSTRY 13 Global Survey: Patients want to be treated in a single visit By Dentsply Sirona Everything from a single source for safer, better and faster dentistry – CEREC makes this possible. This method offers the possibility of treating patients in a single visit with a ceramic, or even full zirconia, resto- ration. There is no need for uncom- fortable impression material thanks to a digital scan, only one anesthetic injection is necessary and there are also no bothersome temporary pros- theses – this type of treatment is ex- actly what the majority of patients want, according to a survey of more than 3,700 patients from 6 countries. A recent and massive international survey of patients conducted on behalf of Dentsply Sirona showed that a large majority would prefer to be treated in a single visit as far as restorations are concerned. The pa- tients surveyed in Germany, Brazil, France, Italy, Japan and China were very unanimous in this respect. To receive this service, many are willing to travel further to the dentist. A ma- jority would not rule out the possi- bility of even changing their dentist for this – on the contrary, about two- thirds said that they would actually be willing to do this to benefi t from single-visit dentistry. Global wish: Single-visit dentistry A closer look at the details reveals that treatment in one visit actu- ally meets patients' modern expec- tations. In Germany, this applied to 80 percent of patients, while in Italy, France and China, this fi gure was almost 90 percent. Having to travel further presented no obstacle. 62% in Germany would be willing to accept a longer journey, in Italy a stagger- ing 81% would do this, and in France three out of four patients could im- agine doing this. The importance that patients attach to single-visit dentistry is refl ected in the fact that 83 percent of Italians would be will- ing to change their dentist for it; two in three patients in Germany would also be willing to do this. In terms of costs, too, patients are also essen- tially in agreement: those surveyed, particularly in Brazil (82%) and China (83%), are prepared to spend more money. Around 70 percent of those surveyed in France would do this, while this applied to 50 percent in Germany and Japan. CEREC meets patients' demands The results of the survey show that CEREC offers a convenience that pa- tients want. There are several reasons for this: One of the most important is that the patient only needs one in- jection of anesthetic. There are also the comfortable digital impressions instead of the conventional method with an impression tray and mate- rial, which means that patients are spared the common gag refl ex. Plac- ing the immediate fi nal restoration in one appointment removes the need for a temporary prosthesis. Re- A restoration in just one visit: An important aspect for 80 percent of the patients storative treatment in a single visit fulfi lls patients' needs, thus becom- ing an important element in patient satisfaction. Innovative processing of high-performance ceramics "The research shows single visit den- tistry is an emerging expectation amongst patients today, says Roddy MacLeod, Group Vice President CAD/CAM at Dentsply Sirona. “Pa- tients expect to be treated with the latest technology and CEREC is lead- ing that trend. And, now that we can also produce full contour zirconia restorations in a single visit, we are giving our customers the maximum fl exibility to address nearly every clinical situation.” Dentsply Sirona at IDS 2017: Hall 10.2 & 11.2 Polly Rutt Regional Marketing Leader Regional Commercial Organisation – EOC – MEA Mobile +971 5699 66052 (UAE) polly.rutt@dentsplysirona.com www.dentsplysirona.com A(cid:31)SILICONE IMPRESSION MATERIAL PRESIDENT The Original Swiss precision for dentistry UNIVERSAL SUBMICRON HYBRID COMPOSITE BRILLIANT EverGlow® The glow of the art Dietmar.Goldmann@coltene.com | P +41 71 757 54 40 | www.coltene.com 9 0 2 3 0 0
