Primescan Connect from Dentsply Sirona to Integrate into A-dec Delivery Systems

Dentsply Sirona, manufacturer of professional dental products and technologies, and A-dec, a leading name in dental operatory equipment, have announced a significant expansion of their collaboration. The strategic alliance now encompasses the integration of Dentsply Sirona's Primescan Connect™ intraoral scanner with A-dec's A-dec 500 and A-dec 300 delivery systems. This development underscores the shared commitment to simplifying processes, enhancing ease of use, and boosting productivity in the realm of digital impressions, according to a press release from the companies.

A-dec CEO, Marv Nelson, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration in the press release, stating, "A-dec customers will benefit from the ability to offer digital impression more easily with great accessibility to images. We are pleased that this collaboration with Dentsply Sirona brings one more valuable integrated option for our customers. Adding Primescan Connect reinforces our commitment to give professionals more choices of integrated devices and technology for their A-dec equipment, elevating their practices now and well into the future.”

The Primescan Connect intraoral scanner, known for its accuracy and efficiency, facilitates a full arch scan in under 1 minute. When integrated into A-dec's delivery system, it aims to enhance the patient experience, streamline operational efficiency, and contribute to revenue generation for dental practices, per the press release. The scanner is powered by Dentsply Sirona's cloud-based software platform, DS Core, offering dental professionals tools for improved daily workflows, such as remote image viewing from smartphones and other connected devices.

Andreas Frank, Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer at Dentsply Sirona, emphasized the forward-looking approach of the collaboration in the press release, saying, "For us, the future of digital dentistry means providing our customers with the tools to grow their practice, increase efficiency, and drive better patient experiences and clinical outcomes."

This partnership builds upon the success of previous collaborations between the 2 companies, including the integration of Dentsply Sirona's Cavitron® ultrasonic scaling system into A-dec delivery systems. The Primescan Connect intraoral scanner is anticipated to be available through selected dealers on new A-dec 500 and A-dec 300 delivery systems in late spring 2024, per the press release.

For additional product information and details about availability in specific countries, interested parties are encouraged to contact their authorized A-dec dealer.
