Formlabs and Bego Announce Partnership
Formlabs, a designer and manufacturer of 3D printing systems, and Bego, a specialist in the field of prosthodontics and implant dentistry, have
announced a partnership that will allow Formlabs customers to 3D print temporary and permanent crowns and bridges directly for patients with Bego
dental materials.
Dental professionals who use Formlabs' Form 3B and Form 2 3D printers can use Bego resins to 3D print permanent single crowns, inlays,
onlays and veneers, and temporary crowns and bridges. The material will offer patients aesthetics, a low tendency to age and discolor, low plaque
accumulation, and high comfort because of low sensitivity to cold and heat. Both the temporary and permanent materials will be offered to Formlabs
users in different shades and can be individualized to a high aesthetic result.

Carestream Dental Introduces Digital
Dentistry Difference Education Campaign

Dentsply Sirona Introduces
2 New Programs

Carestream Dental introduced its Digital Dentistry Difference public education campaign
at the Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting. Through this campaign, the company will
directly educate consumers about the benefits of digital dentistry and will arm doctors with
resources to prompt conversation with patients, which it says will solve an awareness gap
that research suggests is harming patient perception of doctors and the oral health care
industry.
According to the first Global Digital Dentistry survey, commissioned by Carestream in
November 2019 to measure public attitudes, perceptions and behaviors related to dental
technology, patients across the globe believe that the oral health care industry lags behind
both optical and orthopedic sectors in terms of the technology used. In addition, fewer than
half of patients believe their doctor uses very advanced technology.
As part of the Digital Dentistry Difference campaign, Carestream will reach patients
through a large-scale public relations initiative, and by connecting digital dentistry experts
with national and regional news media to share information on how the technology makes a
difference. The company is partnering with Dr. Miguel Stanley to conduct a broadcast media
tour in late May, with plans to reach regional markets throughout the U.S. and encourage
viewers to talk to their doctors about the digital technology used in their care.
