CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc.(Dentsply Sirona)(Nasdaq: XRAY). Dentsply Sirona and 3Shape have taken the next step according to their agreement and now provide a seamless and secure integration of Dentsply Sironas Connect Case Center with 3Shapes Dental System software. Dentists using Primescan or Omnicam intraoral scanners for digital impression-taking can now give dental labs secure access to the data through the Connect Case Center Portal. That makes it easy and efficient for dental technicians using 3Shapes software to work more closely with their dental practice partners.

The new interfaces are available to dental laboratories that use 3Shapes Dental System and have upgraded to Version 2021.2.

I always want to give a patient the treatment I feel is best for them. When companies like Dentsply Sirona and 3Shape choose to work together, it gives all dentists and lab owners more opportunities, and that means better outcomes for our patients, said Dr. Alan Jurim, owner of integratedDENTAL (Woodbury, NY).

With integrated hardware and software, even highly complex treatments can be efficiently planned and executed. Simplifying digital workflows, results in a closer working relationship between labs and their dentist partners.

Digital impressions facilitate communication. After scanning I can discuss the digital model directly with my patient. And because I now can communicate with the lab technician seamlessly, I can share the planned outcome with my patient much quicker and that is a benefit to the patient that matters, said Dr. Sabrina Hoffmann, a dentist in Buerstadt, Germany. What we are experiencing today is truly the dentistry of the future.

Last June, both companies announced an agreement between the two companies designed to improve digital dentistry and oral health. The goal is to support the dental community through the evolution of efficient, simplified, and digitally oriented workflows for dentists and dental technicians. As a first step, users of 3Shapes TRIOS intraoral scanner gained validated and seamless access to Dentsply Sironas SureSmile Clear Aligners platform, which makes it much easier for 3Shapes customers to offer patients a leading solution for treating malocclusions.

Both companies are now focusing on expanding customer access to an even wider range of technology choices.
