Sirona Grows CAD/CAM Product Line with New Milling Units and Digital Impressioning Systems
Launches “CAD/CAM for Everyone”
Charlotte, N.C. – Sirona Dental, Inc., the company that pioneered digital dentistry more than 28 years ago and the global number one producer of dental CAD/CAM systems, today announced the introduction of three new CEREC® milling units, two new Digital Impressioning Systems and enhancements to the CEREC software platform. The new products kick off a campaign called “CAD/CAM for Everyone”, whereby Sirona has introduced a CAD/CAM product suitable for every dentist. Only Sirona offers every variety of CAD/CAM including digital impressioning systems starting at just $19,750 to chairside milling starting at $79,995.
Customized Milling with CEREC MC, CEREC MC X or CEREC MC XL PRACTICE LAB
To meet the individual needs of every single dentist, Sirona expanded the CEREC product range to include three different milling units at different price points. Each unit offers extremely accurate and fast milling to deliver to best experience for every case.
- CEREC MC – for practices focusing on chairside single-tooth restorations, CEREC MC is the most cost-effective milling unit choice. The indication spectrum includes single-unit inlays, onlays, crowns, veneers and a large selection of chairside materials up to a block size of 20 mm.
- CEREC MC X – is ideal for dental practices offering a wide range of chairside treatments, including implants. The MC X milling unit creates the same restorations as MC, as well as bridges, abutments and surgical guides, on blocks up to 40 mm.
- CEREC MC XL Practice Lab – perfect for the dental practice with an onsite lab. When it comes to lab-side restorations such as bridge frameworks, customized implant abutments, surgical guides, telescopes, bars and attachments — MC XL Practice Lab does it all. In addition, the MC XL Practice Lab features four spindle motors, an easy-to-use touch display and mills blocks up to 85 mm in size.
“With the introduction of these new milling units, single-visit dentistry for chairside restorations is more affordable than ever before,” said Roddy MacLeod, Vice President of CAD/CAM at Sirona. “Sirona is dedicated to providing our customers with the very best CAD/CAM solutions in the marketplace, and now dentists can get started with chairside CAD/CAM for as low as $79,995, or just about 9 crowns per month.”
CEREC Software 4.2: The Platform for Perfect Results
With the intuitive user-interface of CEREC software 4.2, users can easily create patient-individual restorations in just a few easy steps. New highlights of CEREC SW 4.2 that expand the users’ design options include:
- Customized implant abutments that can be designed and milled chairside.
- Smile Design uses a patient photo to virtually place a restoration and see how the patient looks before any restorations are milled.
Virtual articulator simulates the patient’s jaw movements, allowing users to find both the static and dynamic contact points, allowing the restoration to be adjusted during the design process..
Apollo DI: Easy handling, precise imaging and the proven Sirona Connect workflow
Sirona’s new digital impressioning system, Apollo DI, offers dentists the most economical entry into the world of digital impressions. Starting at just $19,750, the digital impression system includes an imaging unit, APOLLO Connect software, and the APOLLO DI intraoral camera.
“APOLLO DI rounds out Sirona’s extensive range of digital impression systems,” added MacLeod. “APOLLO DI is an economical solution for dentists who want to offer digital impressions, but still plan to work closely with the dental technician and are interested in a lower-priced system.”
CEREC AC Connect with Omnicam
Last year Sirona launched the extremely successful CEREC AC with Omnicam for the chairside market and has now made it available as a Digital Impressioning system. The CEREC AC Connect with Omnicam comes with Sirona Connect 4.2 Software for easy image taking and upload to Sirona Connect. Its full-color display, powder-free capability and ease of use makes taking digital impressions effortless.

New Sirona Materials Expand Clinical Indications for CEREC®
New innovations from Sirona improve anterior esthetics, implant surgical procedures and introduce high-strength zirconia to direct, chairside applications for the dentist
Charlotte, N.C. – Sirona Dental, Inc., the technology leader in the dental industry, announced today the release of three new high-performance materials that deliver superior esthetics, enhanced strength and expand the breadth of CEREC.
The new materials include: 1) chairside millable blocks that mimic the tooth’s natural internal chromatic dentin layer under a translucent incisal surface to improve anterior esthetics, 2) a new intraoral scan body that simplifies implant procedures and eliminates physical impressions and models, and 3) a high-strength zirconia material ideal for any posterior restorative situation, including second molars.
Achieve Ultimate Esthetics with CEREC C In Blocs
The interaction between chromatic dentin and the translucent incisal area in the visible anterior tooth region has previously been a limiting factor for the use of CAD/CAM systems. With Sirona’s new CEREC C In Blocs, this is no longer the case.
CEREC C In Blocs consist of an inner core of highly chromatic dentin-like ceramic covered by a translucent layer of ceramic that mimics natural enamel. The dentin cores are modeled after the shape of dentin in natural teeth, while the outer shape of the tooth is determined by the patented Biogeneric process in the CEREC software guaranteeing a perfect anatomical fit. Additional software algorithms correctly and automatically position the restoration in the block, so that the exact tooth color selected by the user is achieved and an aesthetically-pleasing, most lifelike restoration is possible.
In-House Implant Restoration Made Easier with ScanPost
The digital workflow for chairside implant restorative cases has never been easier. With the new ScanPost, the implant axis is simply and quickly defined with a quick scan from CEREC AC with Omnicam or CEREC AC with Bluecam. By providing all relevant data about implant position, ScanPost eliminates the need for a poured model and placement of implant analogs in the conventional lab process. While screw retained to the implant, ScanPost stays above the gingival margin, allowing users to verify that the scanbody is fully and properly seated, even in the most sub-gingival placement of implants. This adds even more user confidence in the chairside process, resulting in easier and reliable intraoral scanning and predictable outcomes every time. Once the position of the implant is determined by the CEREC software, the user then completes the implant case in a few simple steps.
inCoris™ TZI – High-Strength, Full Contour Zirconium Oxide Restorations for Chairside Application
Full contour zirconia is ideal for indications that demand the perfect combination of high-strength and lifelike, patient-pleasing esthetics. Thanks to its high degree of translucency, inCoris TZI does not require any veneering materials, making it a cost-effective substitute for metal, porcelain fused to metal or two-part all-ceramic crowns. inCoris TZI is now available for CEREC chairside users.
Benefits of inCoris TZI include:
- Highly translucent zirconium oxide for full crowns and bridges
- Less reduction needed in most clinical cases
- Can be milled with select CEREC® milling units
- Approved for speed (90-minute sintering) and superspeed (10-minute sintering) cycles with inFire HTC speed
All Sirona inFire HTC speed sintering furnaces can process inCoris TZI within 90 minutes. However, with the recently launched superspeed process, the inCoris TZI material may be sintered in just 10 minutes, bringing full contour zirconia into the chairside workflow for the first time. The inFire unit achieves significantly better energy efficiency through shorter heating and cooling times and the timer function allows economical sintering overnight.
“These new products are designed with our users and their patients in mind,” said Sirona Vice President of CAD/CAM Roddy MacLeod. “We’re bringing extraordinary technology to the dentist, continuing our commitment to improve the patient experience and practice lifestyle.”
