Samenwerking Planmecay Oy en Materialise Dental

21 oktober 2011 - Het Finse bedrijf Planmeca Oy en het in Belgie gevestigde Materialise Dental zijn een samenwerking aangegaan. Het hierna volgende bericht werd vrijgegeven.

The Finnish dental equipment manufacturer Planmeca Oy and Belgium-based Materialise Dental started a joint effort that benefits users of Planmeca ProMax 3D imaging devices. Planmeca ProMax 3D users now can directly order Materialise Dental SurgiGuide® drill guides based on the implant planning done in the Planmeca Romexis software.

The Planmeca ProMax 3D customers can order Materialise Dental SurgiGuide® drill guides directly from Planmeca Romexis software. This opens new perspectives for Planmeca’s cone beam users, who can transfer their implant planning from the Planmeca Romexis software to the patient’s mouth, using the trusted technology of SurgiGuide® drill guides.

A variety of implants can be planned in Planmeca Romexis with all available tools. This information is sent, together with the DICOM images, to Materialise Dental as a SurgiGuide® order. Materialise Dental will then import the data in their SimPlant® software, and contact the customer to verify and discuss the planning in SimPlant®. This ensures perfect transfer of the data and full compatibility. SurgiGuide® options are discussed to find the optimal solution for transferring the implant planning to the mouth of the patient, based on the specifics of each case, the surgeon’s preferences and implant systems used. This way, all technicalities are covered by the service. After production, the customer receives the SurgiGuide®, ready for use in surgery.
