Read MoreHide Full Article

DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (XRAY - Free Report) recently expanded its strategic partnership with 3Shape, which marks the next step according to their agreement. This expansion, in turn, currently offers a smooth and secure integration of Dentsply Sirona’s Connect Case Center with 3Shape’s Dental System software.

It is worth mentioning that both the companies made an agreement in June 2021 that was aimed at enhancing digital dentistry and oral health. The objective was to lend support to the dental community via the evolution of efficient, streamlined and digitally oriented workflows for dentists and dental technicians.

Currently, both the companies are committed toward broadening customer accessibility with regards to a wider range of technology choices.

This announcement is likely to provide a boost to DENTSPLY SIRONA’s digital dentistry business line.

Significance of the Partnership

Through this collaboration, DENTSPLY SIRONA’s intraoral Primescan and Omnicam scanners can now directly merge with 3Shape’s lab software, thereby providing better workflows as well as patient outcomes.
