The W&H Group, renowned for high-quality product solutions, and SICAT, a leader in digital dentistry innovation, announced their long-term partnership at EuroPerio. Together, the two companies are underlining their commitment to forward-looking technologies in dental medicine. Through their combined expertise, the partners seek to advance digital solutions in oral surgery.
SICAT IMPLANT & SEETHROUGH STUDIO
As part of the collaboration, SICAT Implant can now be used in combination with Seethrough Studio, the software platform for all W&H imaging products. Users therefore benefit from both the outstanding image quality of W&H’s CBCT units—Seethrough Max and Seethrough Flex—as well as from 3D diagnosis and planning with SICAT Implant.
“Digital dentistry must be both powerful and easy to use. Our goal is to provide dental professionals with a solution that significantly simplifies their daily workflows—fast, flexibly, and intuitively. From X-ray imaging with Seethrough, to diagnosis and digital 3D implant planning with the SICAT Implant software, all the way to final implant placement using SICAT surgical guides and Implantmed,” says Jochen Kusch, Managing Director of SICAT.
SICAT IMPLANT – FAST, PRECISE, AND EFFICIENT 3D IMPLANT PLANNING
With the SICAT Implant software, implants can be planned not only efficiently, but fast and intuitively. Thanks to the user-friendly interface, users without prior experience in digital implant planning can work with precision—while minimizing the time required.
The software includes an extensive and continuously updated implant database featuring more than 13,000 implants, abutments, and sleeve systems from all major implant manufacturers. Autofocus for objects, 360° rotation around the focal point and the implant, collision warnings, and the ability to match any CBCT DICOM data with STL, SSI, and SIXD files are just some of the powerful features the software offers.
A PARTNERSHIP FOR THE FUTURE
“We are delighted to be partnering with SICAT—together, we can offer our users genuine added value. Combining the SICAT Suite and Seethrough Studio enhances processes and expands functionality. This makes the day-to-day work of oral surgeons and implantologists even more efficient,” says Andreas Brandstätter, product director for oral surgery and implantology at the W&H Group.
But that’s not all—W&H and SICAT aim to set new benchmarks in the future and provide optimal support to oral surgeons at every stage of their treatment process.
