of better care
through innovation
You only need one
Planmeca’s goal is to offer high-end
digital products that work together as
smoothly as possible. To achieve this,
the company has been a forerunner in
building a rich ecosystem of devices,
software, and services.
Already in the late 1990’s Planmeca
realised that a shared software platform
would be the logical next step, bringing
diagnostics and treatment planning into
a single workflow. The company’s solution
for this was, and still is, the ever-evolving cated design, and high-precision chairside driven innovations are now at the heart
Planmeca Romexis® all-in-one software.
“Software used to be something
people got with the device they bought,
but now software is often the most
important product,” Kyöstilä comments.
“Software is the brains behind the
products. We keep developing our
software solutions and improving them
constantly. This is all part of our goal
to create the most powerful dental
ecosystem on the market.”
Planmeca Romexis is the only dental
software platform to combine all imaging
and the entire CAD/CAM workflow. The
software’s extensive specialist tools,
24
real-time monitoring possibilities, and
unique connectivity with Planmeca
equipment provide a solid foundation for
growth and open new possibilities.
CAD/CAM for creative minds
Planmeca has been among the forerun-
ners to promote the integration of
CAD/CAM and dental units. The Planmeca
FIT™ system for chairside CAD/CAM offers
dentists a completely integrated and
digital workflow with three simple steps
– ultra-fast intraoral scanning, sophisti- to transform the entire field. Software-
milling. All this is seamlessly integrated of all progress and cloud services have
into the Planmeca Romexis software.
“CAD/CAM dentistry is an integral
part of Planmeca today. Our wide range
of open architecture CAD/CAM solutions
let dental professionals choose their
preferred way to treat patients, improve
workflows, and open new horizons in
growing their business scope.”
Elements of future growth
During the past 45 years Kyöstilä has seen
his company evolve hand in hand with
the industry. Over time, Planmeca has
established itself as a leader in its field
and is well positioned to remain there
for the foreseeable future. But what will
dentistry look like going forward? Heikki
Kyöstilä sees a digital world ahead.
“We are living in an exciting era.
Dentistry is at a crossroads, and the
digital revolution has already begun.”
In the future, dentistry will be
completely digital, with 3D technology set
already become reality. This presents
unforeseen opportunities.
“The industry is moving from products
to services. In a completely digital dental
workflow it is of paramount importance
that all devices and software work
together seamlessly,” Kyöstilä estimates.
“This reality is at the core of all our
product development.”
“At Planmeca, we always operate with
the future in mind. The possibilities with
digital technology are literally endless.
I strongly believe that we will guide
dentistry into the future like no one else
can.” ▰
