Are there differences between the content that DS Core provides to dentists and labs? Are there different versions of the platform?
The needs of clinics and laboratories are quite different, but the platform is the same. For the laboratory, DS Core facilitates data transfer and close collaboration with clinics, making processes easier and more efficient. In addition, it supports data transfer, order management and direct communication with the dentist. DS Core is open source, so it doesn’t matter what CAD or CAM software the lab uses. It is important to note that access to DS Core is free for the dental laboratory.
For dentists, Dentsply Sirona offers a subscription model and a variety of account types to suit different needs. DS Core is offered in three tiers: easy, standard, and advanced, plus a free account designed specifically for those interested only in dentist-laboratory collaboration. Prices start at €/$19.95 per month and increase depending on how much cloud storage your practice needs.

What importance The digitalization of the dental clinic is currently taking place and how can DS Core contribute in this direction?
Digital technologies have become part of daily life in dental clinics because they make dental treatments more precise and convenient for patients. They help doctors make treatment safer, more predictable and also more economical. DS Core is a great digital opportunity as it provides a platform for digital technologies in a meaningful and relevant way.
Technologies are only a means to achieve the best possible treatment and in no way replace the experience and skills of a dentist. On the contrary, digital dentistry depends entirely on them. DS Core accompanies the digital transformation towards workflow-oriented dentistry, based on what dentists need to be clinically and economically successful in the long term.

What value does the EV family of implants offer for new implants?
The EV implant family consists of three different implant shapes: parallel-walled, tapered at the tip, and fully tapered, offering clinicians the surgical flexibility they need without changing the restorative workflow, as the connection is the same in all three systems. All members of the family have the EV taper connection designed for positioning the core in a position with custom Atlantis cores for the patient. Additionally, they are compatible with our full range of digital implant workflows (including Primescan, OSSIX and Atlantis). Having all of these features, including OsseoSpeed, in the EV family of implants is what makes the DS unique.

MIS XD implants are also new. What benefits do they offer?
The concept of the MIS XD implant system impresses with its easy handling and high primary stability, which is achieved by a predetermined drill length and diameter corresponding to the shape and size of the respective implant. Additionally, the depth stop on each XD pilot bit provides a clear view and greater safety during any drilling procedure.
Digital impression is increasingly important in treatment planning. Primescan and Primescan Connect are two of Dentsply Sirona’s intraoral scanners. How do these products help achieve better treatment results and what are their respective features?
Digital impression taking has been around for over 35 years and is constantly evolving. Today, intraoral scanning with Primescan offers a very high level of accuracy that compares favorably with conventional impressions. This accuracy also plays an important role in the quality of subsequent treatment steps.

Primescan Connect is the laptop-based version of Primescan, Dentsply Sirona’s intuitive, fast and accurate intraoral scanner. This makes it easier to get started with digital dentistry. Primescan Connect offers advanced and highly connected 3D scanning technology at a relatively modest cost compared to Primescan.
As a company, our main focus is to consider the whole process: what happens after the scan? Today, it is the starting point for a wide range of treatments, from classic restorations to aligner therapy and implant planning.
