a highly competent clinician. Then, their
combined expertise is more than the sum of
the individual parts,” emphasised Prof Dr med
dent Florian Beuer.
The objective must be for the two to join
forces in the best possible manner.
This is precisely the mission that Amann
Girrbach has set itself. After five years of
development work, the company launched
AG.Live.
The AG.Live is a web-based portal for
collaboration between laboratories and
dentists which offers seamless digital
services at all levels.
For instance, AG.Live used as a central tool
for digital case management; networking;
infrastructure and material management;
and support and knowledge database will
gradually replace the previous C3 customer
portal.
In addition, the platform networks machines
and materials in the laboratory, thereby
simplifying processes and increasing quality
and reproducibility.
However, the most notable feature is
providing a link in the growing global network
of digitally operating dental professionals.
This bridges the interdisciplinary gap
between dentists and dental technicians and
facilitates future-oriented cooperation.
In this network of optimised and new
partnerships, the participants can focus
on their strengths and better position
themselves on the market.
EXTENDING THE DIGITAL CERAMILL
CAD/CAM WORKFLOW TO THE
DENTIST
AG.Live also forms the basis and interface for
the Ceramill Direct Restoration System (DRS),
in which Amann Girrbach extends the digital
Ceramill CAD/CAM workflow to the dentist.
The Ceramill DRS Connection Kit – consisting
The Ceramill Direct Restoration System (DRS) joins dental technicians and practitioners together in an
interdisciplinary and future-oriented team and enables easy entry into same-day denture fabrication
of the Ceramill Map DRS intraoral scanner, the
appropriate scanning software as well as the
connection to the AG.Live platform – serves
as the entry-level variant.
Any order data including all the required
information can be shared seamlessly and in
real time, as the practice is linked fully digital
to the laboratory via AG.Live.
This permits same-day dentistry for simple
restorations, also with zirconia by using the
Ceramill DRS High-Speed Zirconia Kit.
Supplementing the range is the Ceramill
DRS Production Kit, which allows dentists
to perform the fabrication directly in the
practice.
Here, the laboratory can assist them in terms
of design, know-how, service and advice.
The workflow results to three Ceramill Team
Workflows, which can be used depending on
the kit equipment and team formation.
Due to the modular design, it is possible to
start on a small scale with the Ceramill DRS
Connection Kit and upgrade to the Ceramill
DRS Production Kit at a later stage.
Additionally, the Ceramill DRS system is fully
integrated - all components are compatible
with each other and originate from a single
source.
Thus, Amann Girrbach takes full responsibility
for service, support and the final restoration.
Availability of the individual kits can be
requested from the respective dealership.
AG.Live and DRS as well as all digitisation
solutions from Amann Girrbach support
practices and laboratories on a journey that
Prof Dr med dent Jan-Frederik Güth described
as, “Patient-oriented, focused, personalised,
team-oriented, simplified and digital - that’s
where the journey is headed.” DA
AG.Live as a digital platform paves the way for smooth
interdisciplinary collaboration
