The CEREC System from Dentsply Sirona has been opened up for the export of scan data in STL format.
That means data from the digital impression can also be used in software products from other manufacturers, according to a press release. Dentists can use CEREC Omnicam scans in cooperation with their dental laboratory or other clinical planning software.
Dentists can send the CEREC scans to a laboratory of their choice to order restorations. Compatibility with all commonly used design programs employed in laboratories is guaranteed by the STL format. The scan data also can be loaded into implant planning software to provide the practitioner with support in the preparations for implant procedures.
The open format also makes it possible to import CEREC Omnicam scans into any other clinical or practice management software and to archive it there.
The corresponding software licenses will be available at the same time as the new CEREC SW 4.5.
