Carestream Dental Expands Implant Portfolio with Swissmeda

Carestream Dental has expanded its implant portfolio with Swissmeda Dental Planning System (DPS) to give clinicians, labs, DSOs, and implant companies an easier surgical design process, faster turnaround, and better implant outcomes. Swissmeda DPS is a fully digital cloud-based prosthetic-driven implant planning module that is designed to allow users to upload CBCT and intraoral scanner data share diagnoses and exchange treatment plans with relevant members of the dental team.

Whether clinicians prefer to design their own drilling template or decide to review and approve a plan from Swissmeda based on their submitted imaging data, Swissmeda DPS is designed for efficiency. Its built-in communication tools are said to make it easy to seek feedback from referrals or the lab. The drilling templates feature a lightweight wire frame that is designed to provide good visibility during surgery and is said to be accurate.

Carestream has integrated a Swissmeda export button within its imaging software, enabling users to directly interface with surgical planning software. Swissmeda accepts image files from most manufacturers’ CBCT systems and intraoral scanners. For added flexibility, the treatment planning and the guide design are said to be compatible with any implant manufacturer. Plus, Swissmeda is a cloud-based tool, which means it can handle the large image files needed for implant planning. It can also transfer and store images, and images can be accessed from a mobile device.
