Carestream Dental has entered a preferred partnership with Swissmeda, maker of the Swissmeda Dental Planning System (SDPS), for 3-D implant planning. With SDPS, Carestream says, dentists and dental technicians can plan implant cases and obtain a customizable guide design module for advanced implant guided surgery procedures.
As a major enhancement for its CS Solutions for Implants CAD/CAM product portfolio, Carestream has introduced a data export feature designed to streamline the workflow from the CS 3D Imaging software Prosthetic-Driven Implant Planning module to the SDPS in a single click, the company said.
After clicking on the icon within the software, dental professionals can plan and decide on the optimal patient treatment and send the final surgical guide design to the lab or service provider for fabrication, Carestream said.
Once the software is launched from the CS 3D Imaging software, there are minimal steps in the workflow, so implant planning can be completed in minutes, the companies said. Clinicians also have full control over the design and can fine-tune the final position of the implant. The surgical guide itself features an open skeletal design for better visibility during surgery.
Plus, Swissmeda surgical guides offer easy cooling during drilling sequences and make it easier to raise and control the flap or take a flapless approach to shorten the patient’s recovery time, according to the companies.
“Delivering a truly integrated implant solution, from initial imaging to surgical guide fabrication, is important for us as an oral healthcare company,” said Ed Shellard, DMD, chief dental officer at Carestream Dental. “Swissmeda has revolutionized the implant planning process in Europe, and we are excited to offer this solution to doctors across the globe as our preferred partner.”
Carestream Dental also is announcing an integration with 360imaging. Once clinicians have finalized their implant planning with CS 3D Imaging software, they can easily transfer their planning to the 360 Courier platform in a single click to order a 360ips surgical guide for any indication, the companies said. Blue Sky Bio is one of Carestream’s implant partners as well.
