Materialise Dental, a company that develops 3D technology solutions for implant practices, oral maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists, has established a cooperation with Cefla Dental Group and QR srl to pre-install SimPlant Pro on their cone-beam 3D scanning equipment.

Materialise Dental focuses on 3D Digital Dentistry, offering a range of solutions for computer guided dentistry. Its SimPlant software is compatible with all implant brands and CT and cone-beam 3D scanners, thus providing clinicians the opportunity to stay with their own implant brands and scanning equipment.

The newly established cooperation between Materialise Dental and Cefla Dental Group and QR srl is non-exclusive and offers customers of the two latter companies the possibility to have SimPlant Pro pre-installed on the cone-beam workstations upon purchase of a NewTom (NewTom 9000, 3G, VGi) or MyRay (SkyView) cone-beam 3D scanner.

“Cone-beam 3D technology is becoming increasingly important in today’s world,” said Hans Meeus, business development manager at Materialise Dental. “The goal of our collaboration with Cefla Dental Group and QR srl is to show customers which cone-beam 3D scanning equipment is available on the market and how any cone-beam 3D scanner can be used in conjunction with our computer guided dentistry solutions. It’s an all-in treatment solution, leading to increased case success.”

“Materialise Dental has a strong background in 3D implant treatment planning, 3D orthodontic simulations and 3D orthognathic surgery simulation, providing added value through its wide support and training network,” said Claudiano Tagliareni, sales and marketing manager at QR srl. “Our collaboration with Materialise Dental is valuable in that it gives us the possibility to offer customers a ready-to-use, top-notch and integrated imaging, diagnosis and planning solution for any patient case.”

“Being a pioneer company in the field of surgery planning, Materialise Dental is the ideal collaborator to develop integrated imaging systems which respond to clinicians’ real needs,” said Marilù Ariu, clinical research monitor, and Alessandro Pasini, R&D manager at Cefla Dental Group. “We share the common belief that virtual planning and image fusion are the future for most fields of cranio-maxillofacial surgery. MyRay from its side, being a producer of cone-beam CT scanners and imaging systems, is already committed to explore all the applications of cone-beam CT scanners in fields ranging from dentistry to maxillofacial surgery and moving further towards orthopaedics and otolaryngology. This collaboration will lead to new and innovative solutions.”
