Dental Profile
digital implant workflow in September –
CEREC Guide 3 which supports both the
surgical preparation of the implant site as
well as the insertion of all implant systems
that Dentsply Sirona offers (Astra Tech
Implant Sytem EV, Xive and Ankylos).
It has already been available in Europe
since September 2018, and other markets
will follow depending on certification and
registration periods.
“CEREC Guide 3 rounds off the chairside
digital implant workflow and ensures that
the prosthetic planning is implemented
in a clinically safe way, thanks to its fully
guided insertion. The surgical guide
can be manufactured directly in the
practice in less than one hour using the
CEREC SW 4.6.1 and a suitable milling
machine. Dentsply Sirona is the only
company to offer a complete digital
implant workflow out of one hand,
including production of a surgical guide
directly in place,” he elaborated.
He also shared that Dentsply Sirona
will be presenting innovative answers
to the latest dentistry trends and, in
doing so, will be setting new standards.
Dentsply Sirona demonstrated its
innovative power at the IDS 2017 and
most recently at the Dentsply Sirona
World 2018.
“The IDS 2019 is fast approaching and
we are looking forward to everybody’s
presence and support. Stay tuned and let
us surprise you!” he exclaimed.
Leading the way as a committed
forerunner in the dental industry
Dentsply Sirona’s focus is to be the
pacesetter, forerunner and driver for
digital dentistry. The company has a
strong sales force which will be expanded
in the future by investing more in sales
and service distribution. Supplementary
to this, their diverse product portfolio and
geographical reach are proving to be a
competitive advantage.
Also, the company’s current programme
includes compelling marketing and
communication activities and a unique
commitment to training and education.
Both are designed to exploit the significant
potential of their products and support
valued dealer partners.
“This is implemented also by our team
in the Asia Pacific region, where we still
see a lot of growth opportunities and
subsequently, want to further strengthen
our operations in Japan, Korea, Taiwan,
China and Australia,” stated Dr. Völcker.
He shared that a key differentiator for
Dentsply Sirona is their commitment
to clinical education. The company has
several educational centres in Europe
and the U.S. including more than a
dozen satellite facilities around the
world. Furthermore, he mentioned that
the company has two training centres in
Japan, the Dentsply Sirona Academy with a
showroom in Shanghai and also a training
centre in Indonesia. Supplementing these
facilities is their continuing education
effort that reaches hundreds of thousands
of dental professionals annually.
Finally, Dr. Völcker surmised, “When it comes
to developing interdisciplinary workflows,
Dentsply Sirona is already leading the way. Our
customers can rely on the company’s unique
innovative drive to further advance dentistry as
Dentsply Sirona’s portfolio is not complete –
and it will never be – as we grow continuously.”
