16 exhibitors Chicago Midwinter — February 23, 2019 Dentsply Sirona’s Primescan: Taking digital impressions to the next quality level By Dentsply Sirona Staff n With Primescan, you can produce scans amazingly fast. You can capture an entire upper jaw in less than 30 seconds and a full arch scan in less than a minute. During the scanning process, the dynamic lens completes more than 10 movements per sec- ond, thereby enabling the “Dynamic Depth Scan.” The result is more than 1 million 3-D points per second. This is thanks to Intelligent Processing, which filters, processes and com- presses the high volume of data so that models can be calculated faster. The high-precision Smart Pixel Sensor captures the data at an extremely high resolution and assesses the contrast in each pixel. For every 3-D image, Primescan con- solidates more than 50,000 images per second, thereby offering a level of scanning precision that has never been achieved before, according to Dentsply Sirona. The new, patent pending tech- nology in the form of optical high frequency analysis is used to cal- culate the 3-D points, resulting in an increased level of accuracy. This is further supported by an optical design that has been optimized for the measuring principle used and by the mechanical robustness of the optics. Primescan enables a flexible, intui- tive and very simple scan procedure, enabling faster access to tooth sur- faces without the need for significant tilting. The captured images are cal- culated in a flash and put together without any visible scan interrup- tions. To monitor the scanning pro- cess simply and easily and to be able to assess the model immediately, the accompanying Primescan AC acquisi- tion center has a modern touchscreen 5 Primescan by Dentsply Sirona offers a flexible, simple scan procedure.

Den- tists acknowledge the intuitive opera- tion and high level of comfort during first-time use, which is also greatly appreciated by patients, the company asserts. The new “Acquisition Center” is a workstation designed for modern dentistry and with the dentist in mind. The beautiful, sleek design comes with a touchpad and a 16:9 wide-format movable touchscreen, offering you a highly intuitive and ergonomic work platform, according to the company. The unit also features full mobility with a long-life battery. Simply charge overnight, and you are ready the next morning for hours of cable-free operation. Primescan also scores in terms of hygienic safety. Thanks to the smooth surfaces of Primescan and the acqui- sition center, the hygienically criti- cal areas, which are often difficult to clean, can be reprocessed safely, quickly and easily. The intraoral scan- ner can be subjected to all necessary hygienic reprocessing (wipe disinfec- tion, autoclaving, hot air sterilization, high-level disinfection). This is made possible by three sleeve concepts (stainless-steel sleeve, stainless-steel sleeve with disposable window and disposable sleeves).
