SprintRay Inc., an industry leader in digital dentistry and 3D printing solutions, today announced a partnership with Nobel Biocare, a world leader in the field of innovative implant-based patient solutions for tooth replacement. As part of the partnership, Nobel Biocare will become an authorized distributor of all of SprintRay’s innovative 3D printing technology.
“SprintRay is excited to introduce our industry leading, end-to-end 3D printing solution to Nobel Biocare’s extensive North American network of dental professionals,” said SprintRay’s Chief Growth Officer, John Cox. “This partnership extends SprintRay’s reach and penetration into implant dentistry – one of the industry’s fastest growing segments.”
Together, SprintRay and Nobel Biocare will deliver best-in-class implant workflow solutions to patients around the world. The combination of Nobel Biocare’s innovative implant solutions, combined with SprintRay’s frictionless 3D printing technology, will result in reduced implant delivery times, same-day placement of implants and highly accurate guided surgery templates. While historically, traditional dental implant procedures take months to complete, through SprintRay and Nobel Biocare’s collaboration, patients can receive same-day, chairside care through 3D printed surgical guides and immediate implant restorations.
“Nobel Biocare has a philosophy of continuous innovation, driven by patient need,” said Patrik Eriksson, Nobel Biocare’s president. “We are proud to partner with SprintRay and to distribute their 3D printing technology, which can drastically reduce time to teeth.”
“Practicing dentists have always had to manage the competing interests of speed versus accuracy and quality,” said Dr. Kenneth Parrish, DMD, PhD. “As the only 3D printing manufacturer dedicated to dental applications, SprintRay understands the challenges faced in day-to-day practice. Time consuming emergency work-ins to your schedule can now be replaced by the touch of a button to easily and cost effectively create and deliver a replacement restoration, saving chair time and eliminating patient frustration.”
SprintRay’s recently launched ProCure 2, the most advance curing system available today that reduces curing times to five minutes, will be offered as part of the partnership. The ProCure 2 enables same-day placement of dental implants and allows for Nobel Biocare’s All-on-4® restorations to take place in one appointment.
