Those who are just looking for a scanner and want to utilize outsourcing to labs may look into the cheaper AC scanner-only option. This means there are plenty of options depending on your needs. The CEREC system is a complete in-house ecosystem including a scanner, robust CAD software, milling machine, and ceramic furnace. CEREC is arguably the pioneer of chairside digital dentistry and CAD/CAM and was, and still is, instrumental in its success and popularity.
The company as a whole has evolved a lot since the '80s and has revolutionized the industry. Sirona was confident with the future of dental ceramics as they decided to put it in their name – CEREC stands for CEramic REConstrustion. This is back when direct composite materials had debilitating shrinkage issues and monolithic dental ceramics were just starting - so feldspathic ceramic from VITA was the material of choice. Sirona has been dedicated to chairside dentistry as early as 1985 when the CEREC 1 was developed due to the demand for tooth-colored materials for posterior restorations. According to the company’s website, DENTSPLY started as the Dentists’ Supply Company in 1899 in the USA while Sirona Dental Systems was founded in 1877 in Germany. This is due to the “merger of equals” that took place few years prior as DENTSPLY International and Sirona Dental Systems combined into one company - Dentsply Sirona in 2016.īoth these companies have a long history, over a hundred years each, both focussed on the dental industry since their very beginning. Backgroundīesides the obvious cosmetic differences compared to the previous generation CEREC scanners, you may have also noticed the name change – it is no longer Sirona CEREC anymore, rather Dentsply Sirona CEREC. The question is, is it worth the cost? Read on to find out more. It was, and still is, the most expensive system on the market. CEREC is a global leader in chairside CAD/CAM and they have revolutionized the field.
This was the latest upgrade to the CEREC chairside workflow since the Omnicam IOS entered the market and completely changed digital dentistry in 2012. Additionally, a scanner only-option, the Primescan AC, was also released for those who do not want to carry out in-house CAD/CAM.
In 2019, Dentsply Sirona released a new lineup of CEREC chairside CAD/CAM equipment: an intraoral scanner (IOS) called the Primescan and a chairside milling machine called the Primemill.
