Dentsply Sirona's next-generation intraoral scanner opens a
new era of digital patient care, allowing scanning directly to the
cloud on any internet-connected device.
Cloud-native, wireless, and highly versatile — this is
Primescan 2. Building upon the
proven1 scanning technology of
Primescan and with the ability to scan directly to the
cloud on any internet-connected device, Primescan 2 can help
practices expand their treatment offerings, save time in daily
workflows, and deliver enhanced care and comfort to their
patients.
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 5,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dentsply Sirona (Nasdaq: XRAY)
continues to pave the way for the future of digital dentistry with
the introduction of a new, versatile, and innovative intraoral
scanner: Primescan 2. Powered by the DS Core cloud
platform2, the new wireless scanner is cloud-native,
meaning it can scan on any internet-connected mobile or desktop
device— without needing a dedicated computer. With improved
workflow efficiency and extended treatment
capabilities3, when compared to Primescan AC and
Primescan Connect, Primescan 2 allows practices to expand the
services they offer to patients and grow their business. Meanwhile,
improved communication and diagnostic tools help dental
professionals deliver a high standard of care and comfort.
Primescan 2 benefits for dental practices
- Hardware-independence: Cloud-native solution
operating on any device with an internet browser and enabled DS
Core features.
- Versatility: Wireless and easy to move. With
Primescan 2, scan any patient, anytime, anywhere.
- Simple handling: Sleek and well-balanced design with a
narrower tip, allowing for easier access to molars or distal
surfaces.
- Fast workflow: A full arch scan can be taken in
less than 1 minute while delivering excellent accuracy.
- Ease of delegation: Easy to delegate the scanning
work to other dental professionals in the practice team. During
treatment, only the affected teeth have to be rescanned.
- Always up to date: DS Core always runs on the latest
version, eliminating the need for manual software updates.
- Primary storage in the cloud: Reduces the need for
additional scan storage costs in the practice.
- Reliable hygiene: Comprehensive hygiene concept with
closed design around the field of view, convenient single-use
sleeves, and optional multi-use steel sleeve with sapphire glass
(anticipated launch in Q4).
"Primescan 2 is more than just an intraoral scanner— it provides
new momentum for dental practices navigating today's rapidly
evolving landscape. Designed with the future in mind, Primescan 2
is transformative in its field, empowering dental professionals to
confidently meet the demands of their patients by delivering
simplicity, efficiency, and versatility," said Simon Campion, President & CEO at Dentsply
Sirona. "This solution not only enhances the patient experience but
also supports practice growth. With Primescan 2, we enable our
users to stay ahead of the curve, thriving in a dynamic environment
while focusing on what truly matters—providing exceptional patient
care."
Delivering versatility and simplicity
Primescan 2 is based on the patented scanning technology of
Primescan — combining the speed, accuracy, and ease of use of the
original scanner with new cloud-native capabilities made possible
through direct integration with DS Core. As a cloud-native
intraoral scanner, Primescan 2 allows dental professionals to scan
anytime, anywhere — including visits to hospitals, partner
practices, or labs — using any laptop, computer, tablet, or other
internet-connected device at hand.
The scan data is automatically processed and stored on DS Core,
meaning that patient consultations, lab ordering, and treatment
planning can take place independently on any internet-connected
device available. The scanning workflow on DS Core is intuitive and
simple to use, allowing for easy delegation to dental professionals
within the practice team so they can advance together with
confidence in this new era of digital patient care. The scanning
device itself is only needed for the scan itself, so the device is
immediately ready to be used on the next patient after the scan is
complete. There is no need for software updates, as these are ready
for use with every login to DS Core, and data can be shared with
partners, labs, or even patients via DS Core.
"Primescan 2 is a lot more than a wireless scanner, it's all I
need to scan every patient," explained Dr. Marko Ahonen, dentist and beta-tester from
Hämeenlinna, Finland. "Not only
can I use it anywhere in my practice without being tied to a
specific computer, but I can also confidently apply it to a wide
range of treatments, from basic restorative cases to more complex
interventions and specialized procedures."
Opportunities for practice growth and high case
acceptance
The new intraoral scanner is an excellent way to start a broad
range of treatments and reliably delivers highly accurate scan data
for great patient outcomes. Primescan 2 creates excellent
conditions for patient communication and treatment acceptance,
especially for more complex cases like implant treatments. DS
Core's Communication Canvas allows the oral situation and treatment
proposal to be clearly displayed side-by-side and explained using
all necessary files (scan, X-ray, intraoral images).
With the use of the SureSmile™ Simulator, dentists can preview
the potential new smile of a patient in just minutes to visually
demonstrate the scope of treatment, fostering confident treatment
decisions.4
And there are even more possibilities for practices to expand
patient services and help grow their business with Primescan 2. It
can be an excellent starting point for in-house fabrication using
the CEREC workflow or with a 3D printer such as Primeprint
Solution. Scanning, design, and fabrication are all decoupled from
each other to offer great flexibility in practice workflows.
Enhanced patient care and thorough hygiene
The size and outer shape of the scanner tip have been redesigned
with Primescan 2 making intraoral scanning even more comfortable
for patients — helping dental professionals easily scan molars and
hard-to-reach distal surfaces.
Intraoral scanners must meet the highest hygiene standards.
While Primescan already fulfills these, Primescan 2 comes with
single-use closed sleeves for a high-level of ease of use, scan
performance and hygiene, a multi-use steel closed
sleeve5 will be available
optionally. Primescan 2 also has a tapping sensor for
hygienic and ergonomic usage. Users can start and end the scanning
process, change catalogs, and switch from 3D to 2D images with just
a tap of the finger.
"With Primescan 2, we open a new era of digital patient
care," said Max Milz, Group Vice
President, Connected Technology Solutions at Dentsply Sirona.
"Celebrating a milestone in digital dentistry, our latest
innovation is the world's first cloud-native intraoral scanning
solution. As we strive for a future centered around DS Core, this
innovative technology serves as a testament to our commitment to
fostering the digital universe of dentistry. By empowering dental
professionals to enhance their skills with confidence, we're
driving transformative change for a healthy future."
