Dentsply Sirona has opened its Cerec system for the export of scan data to other manufacturers' software.
Data from digital impressions taken with the Cerec system can now be exported in the stereolithography (STL) file format, which guarantees compatibility with other commonly used design programs, according to the company. This means practitioners can send restorative scans to the dental laboratory of their choosing.
In addition, Cerec Omnicam scans can be imported into other practice management or clinical software programs for archiving.
