There’s a growing need to simplify the interaction between imaging providers and clinicians. Similarly, clinicians increasingly request treatment planning assistance with regards to performing guided surgery and SurgiGuide^® online ordering. That’s why Materialise Dental launches a free online space called DentalPlanit^®.

Efficient patient case management for dental professionals

DentalPlanit^® makes dental professionals’ lives easier. It facilitates the method of searching for, and working with any imaging provider, whether large or small. Everything flows together in one seamless process - managing and tracing patient cases takes no time at all as vital information is at one’s fingertips. Even an all-round treatment planning assistance service called PlanAssist has been made part of the deal. Clinicians can request full-fledged treatment planning assistance during live PlanAssist sessions. Or they can choose to have a treatment plan suggestion delivered to them, ready for approval. Tailored treatment planning services are thus provided upon request.

During a patient visit, the scan procedure is swiftly scheduled online via the DentalPlanit^® directory by choosing a favorite imaging partner or one that is nearest to the patient. Next, the scan procedure can be tracked online and an automatic notification informs the clinic as soon as the 3D patient images are available. The images can then be opened instantly with the clinic´s preferred implant planning software..


“3D patient images are necessary for most of my implant procedures. With DentalPlanit^®, this information is kept in one place, making it easy to access,” says Neil Matthews, Prosthodontist in Rochester, MI.

Time- and money-saving procedures for imaging providers

Imaging providers can send images to their customers via DentalPlanit^® with amazing efficiency. Expensive IT resources and infrastructure are no longer needed to ensure secure online communication with referrals. By using DentalPlanit^®, imaging companies gain both time and money.

“Also on DentalPlanit^®, imaging companies can advertise their services to dentists in a much larger area than they could cover through their own marketing channels,” explains Cassandra Gozin, Product Manager at Materialise Dental.

Thanks to DentalPlanit^®, imaging providers can offer their services to dentists. These services include the delivery of standard CT images or files which are ready to be used in market-leading implant planning software such as SimPlant^®, Facilitate™ and ExpertEase™. DentalPlanit^® doesn’t require any additional efforts from the imaging company or the clinician and is accessible via www.dentalplanit.com.
