Imagoworks’ 3Dme Crown is a design module for the company’s 3Dme solutions. Based on patient 3D scan data and using artificial intelligence, it automatically generates the prosthesis design that is most suitable for the patient’s oral environment, according to Imagoworks. 3Dme Crown’s AI technology finds the tooth that needs a crown by examining the dental 3D scan data. At the same time, it identifies the margin line between the gum and the crown to be manufactured and suggests the optimal line. Then it produces the best crown design, taking into consideration the surrounding and antagonist teeth.

An open, cloud-based platform operated by Dentsply Sirona, DS Core integrates the entire digital dentistry workflow across the company’s devices, services, and technologies.

It means that dentists can maximize their practice’s productivity by simplifying workflows and easily integrating new ones.

EasyRx’s PTS Trim Line can generate the basefile with the locator base for trimming machines. Then these auto-based files and supporting PTS files are attached to EasyRx’s helpful prescription and patient file for viewing and adjustment.
