GC America Inc. and SprintRay announced a strategic partnership focused on expanding the adoption of digital restorative workflows and supporting changes in how restorative care is delivered in dental practices.
The collaboration combines GC America’s materials science work with SprintRay’s 3D printing technology, including the SprintRay MIDAS Digital Press. According to the companies, the partnership will connect technology and education related to indirect restorative workflows.
“This partnership represents a powerful step forward in shaping the future of how restorative dentistry is delivered.” said Joseph Talanges, president & chief operating officer of GC America companies.
The companies said the partnership will emphasize innovation and education as part of a broader effort to modernize patient care through digital workflows. GC America cited its SEMUI philosophy, which focuses on considering the needs of others, as aligning with SprintRay’s approach to developing products and services for dental professionals.
“3D printing is fundamentally shifting how dental restorations are being produced and delivered. By combining GC’s trusted materials science expertise with SprintRay’s MIDAS digital press, where you can produce up to 10 restorations in <10-minutes, we are enabling clinicians to deliver greater efficiency, improved patient access, and exceptional clinical outcomes” said John Cox, chief growth officer of SprintRay.
The collaboration will be highlighted during the Midas World Education Tour, a six-hour hands-on program planned for 40 cities worldwide. The companies said the program will allow clinicians to experience a connected workflow that integrates restorative materials with chairside 3D printing.
SprintRay designs and manufactures digital dentistry technologies including 3D printers, post-processing systems, artificial intelligence-driven software, and dental materials used by clinicians to support chairside production and customization of care.
GC, founded more than 105 years ago in Tokyo, conducts research and manufacturing in dental materials and operates globally with headquarters in Luzern, Switzerland and regional headquarters for the Americas in the Chicago area.
