SprintRay has announced full integration with 3Shape’s Implant Studio software. With SprintRay’s 3-D printers, the company says, professionals can use Implant Studio to print guides for dental implant surgery. These guides can be printed in less than an hour using SprintRay’s MoonRay high-resolution 3-D printer and biocompatible surgical guide resin, SprintRay says.
“We are excited to add another outstanding and reliable solution to the ever-growing ecosystem of open treatment and manufacturing options available to 3Shape customers,” said Birk Ploennigs, 3Shape’s product director of implantology. “The professionals we speak with prefer to use surgical guides in their implant procedures. The integration with SprintRay gives them an affordable and dependable manufacturing option.”
The Implant Studio software merges CBCT and surface scans to provide a comprehensive view of a patient’s clinical situation, 3Shape reports. This enables professionals to prosthetically plan and design restorative elements used in the implant procedure, in addition to designing and producing surgical guides.
“This integration between 3Shape Implant Studio and SprintRay gives dental professionals a new expansive set of tools,” said Amir Mansouri, SprintRay CEO. “By printing surgical guides in office, doctors can be more responsive to their patients’ needs and gain full control over their treatment plan.”
SprintRay’s high-resolution 3-D printers also can be used to print a wide selection of other oral appliances, the company notes, such as dental models, nightguards, retainers, crowns, denture bases, and indirect bonding trays. SprintRay’s hardware, software, and materials work together to deliver optimal accuracy, efficiency, and ease of use, the company says.
