Dentsply Sirona Presents New Primescan 2
The first cloud-native intraoral scanning solution can help practices expand their treatment offerings, save time in daily workflows, and deliver enhanced care and comfort to their patients.
Dentsply Sirona 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).
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.
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.
Primescan 2 at Dentsply Sirona Worlds
Primescan 2 will be available for hands-on experiences at the upcoming DS World events in Spain, USA, Italy, Brazil and Tokyo.
DS Worlds bring dental professionals together for multiple days of high-quality clinical education, engaging expert speakers, enriching networking, and the opportunity to experience first-hand innovations in dentistry. Focused on supporting dental professionals to grow their knowledge, practice and connections, these events are a window into the future of digital dentistry.
