D4D Technologies has introduced version 4.5 of its E4D DentaLogic software and also the E4D Solo scan-only digital impression system.
Version 4.5 of the DentaLogic software features E4D Sky, offering an open network of chairside restorative systems for patient treatment. The E4D Sky communication network enables E4D system operators to exchange case data via the Internet with internal and external service providers, according the company.
The new version adds a range of options for more complex cases, extra help at busy times, and additional material options to those that are typically milled in office, such as zirconia, according to D4D.
E4D Sky is supported by Henry Schein's DDX (Digital Dental Exchange) and connects E4D systems running version 4.5 software with the following outsourcing options for restoration design and fabrication:
- E4D Digital Services, which aids with design, mill, or complete restorations, as well as make models or bridges
- E4D certified laboratories
- Any third-party provider can be sent an .stl open platform file
E4D Sky supports the launch of the E4D Solo scan-only options, the company noted. E4D Solo, in conjunction with the E4D Sky communication network, enables E4D Solo operators to send scanned restorative case data via the Internet to internal and external service providers, for design and fabrication of restorations, models, and bridges.
Offices that already use the full E4D system can expand their capabilities by adding an E4D Solo and then designing and fabricating in house or using E4D Sky services at busy times or for more complex cases, the company stated. E4D Solo is available in a cart configuration for intraoral, model, or impression scanning, as well as a desktop configuration for model and impression scanning only.
