CHAROLOTTE, N.C. —Dentsply Sirona announces it has signed an agreement to collaborate with Panthera Dental (Quebec, Canada) to offer a validated and fully digital workflow for custom-made sleep devices. With the collaboration between Dentsply Sirona and Panthera Dental, dentists can now use the Primescan scans in a validated workflow as a basis to create a custom-made Digital Sleep Apnea Device (D-SAD). The quality of the intraoral scan data delivers reliable data for the high-quality custom-made D-SAD Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD), indicated for people suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea and snoring.

One advantage is that besides Primescan, no additional equipment is needed. After scanning the patient’s complete jaw and the bite registration for the protrusion, the scan data can be sent directly to Panthera Dental, either using the Connect Case Center or via STL-file. Within 15 days, the D-SAD will be designed and manufactured by Panthera Dental’s proprietary CAD/CAM process in their 4.0.

Panthera Dental’s D-SAD is made out of 100% medical grade biocompatible type-12 polyamide nylon. The material is light, smooth, strong yet flexible, very durable and resistant to bruxism. A wide range of plateaus and bands are available and allow for over 300 standard design combinations as well as maximized tongue space.
