New Workflow from Carestream Dental Improves Predictability for Implants

NEW YORK—Carestream Dental has introduced CS Solutions for Implants, a digital integrated implant solution to support more confident diagnoses, improved treatment planning, better patient/referral communication and greater confidence when placing implants.

“CBCT volumes and digital impressions give doctors a 360 degree view of the bone and soft tissue situation in stunning 3-D for better diagnostics,” said Ed Shellard, DMD, vice president, sales and marketing, Carestream Dental. “However, that’s just the first step. This new solution takes treatment planning to the next level by combining state-of-the-art 3-D technologies with the practice of prosthetic-driven implant planning.”

Prosthetically driven implant planning starts by combining the data sets from a digital impression taken by either the CS 3500 or CS 3600 intraoral scanner and a CBCT scan by either the CS 8100 3-D extraoral imaging system or CS 9300 system. The two scans are automatically aligned in CS 3-D Imaging software to create a virtual set-up with little to no manipulation from the doctor.

Next, a new Prosthetic-Driven Implant Planning module of CS 3-D Imaging allows doctors to virtually plan the crown and implant on the same screen to ensure that the implant is positioned according to the ideal future restoration and not the other way around. Doctors add the crown to the combined scanner/CBCT datasets and place the implant from a library featuring more than 60 manufacturers. They can also create their own implants and manage their own library.

“The prosthetic-driven planning function of CS 3-D Imaging software helps doctors make better decisions about optimal crown and implant position, which leads to more control over the final clinical and aesthetic outcomes,” said Marianne Belcari, global product line manager, CS Solutions, Carestream Dental. “Not to mention, since the restoration and implant are visualized within the same software, it makes for more efficient planning.”

CS Solutions for Implants is an open system, so data can also be exported* into third-party software for the creation of surgical guides and digital impression files can be shared with the lab of choice for the creation of abutments and restorations.

“From 3-D scans to the finished surgical guide, CS Solutions for Implants is a fully integrated and digital solution for implant treatment,” Shellard said. “The digital workflow improves efficiency by eliminating many treatment steps and appointments and improving collaborative planning. Not only that, the accuracy of digital leads to more predictable results.”

*Work in progress, integration with third-party software available in early 2017
