Enhanced ‘Communication Canvas': this tool makes patient communication illustrative and user-friendly. Various patient images can be arranged and displayed side by side on a digital canvas in 2D and 3D, such as X-ray images, photos, or intraoral scans. Annotations in the form of text or freehand drawings can now also be inserted into the canvas. In addition, dentists can share these images with patients, making it easy to communicate and enabling them to make informed decisions about their proposed treatment plan while adhering to GDPR and HIPAA guidelines for privacy-compliant data sharing.

Viewer update: the viewer function in DS Core has been enhanced to support additional data formats such as STL and PLY, making the cloud platform a powerful tool for communication and collaboration also for users employing third-party intraoral scanners.

Unified ordering system: DS Core introduces a function that links dental practices with labs and other service providers. Dentists can either collaborate with their preferred lab via DS Core by inviting them to the platform or discover new specialists offering services tailored to their needs. The ordering system simplifies the process of placing and managing orders. An update to the chat function makes communication very simple while increasing the accessibility of the platform via smartphone. In addition, labs now have the option to export their worksheets as a PDF.

DS Core offers dentists an innovative platform for growth and efficiency, empowering them so they can advance with confidence. Images taken with intraoral scanners and 2D/3D X-ray systems from Dentsply Sirona are automatically uploaded, while third-party data can easily be uploaded manually. In addition, patient data and design files can be managed in a centralised location. For instance, design files for a restoration or a surgical guide can be directly opened from DS Core and transferred to the manufacturing unit (Primemill or Primeprint Solution).
