Straumann and Cadent have signed a nonexclusive distribution agreement in North America whereby Straumann will begin marketing Cadent's iTero digital impression system as of February 1, 2011.
The new agreement follows a series of activities designed to advance Straumann's position in digital dentistry and to increase Cadent's penetration into the dental implant and laboratory markets in the U.S., according to the companies.
A year ago, Straumann entered into an agreement with Cadent to integrate the iTero scan data with Straumann's CAD/CAM system. This allows dental labs to receive digital impressions and design dental restorations without having to create a stone model. Straumann recently announced new functionality to allow iTero customers to take implant-level impressions with the Straumann Intra-Oral Scan Body and digitally send them to the Straumann CARES Scan CS2 CAD/CAM system.
