MONTREAL, Canada: Dental Wings, a leading provider of digital dentistry technologies, has just introduced the latest update for its dental prosthesis design software Dental Wings Open System (DWOS). Version 8 now offers new and enhanced features designed to further simplify the creation of CAD/CAM restorations. Additionally, the company has further developed its in-office design software with DWOS Chairside 2.

The company’s DWOS is the foundation of its software applications and, according to Dental Wings, one of the most flexible and powerful CAD/CAM software platforms available in the industry for the design of dental restorations. DWOS is a fully open, seamlessly integrated ecosystem of technologies that work together to boost productivity and efficiency for dental professionals, the company explained.

The software’s new features and improvements include the highly anticipated DWOS Easy Mode. This feature guides the user through the entire process of creating CAD/CAM restorations. It provides a new simplified workflow and automated proposals for the production of full crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers, full and reduced crowns on implants, and custom abutments.

Additionally, high-contrast imports from the Dental Wings Intraoral Scanner offer improved margin detection and identification. OBJ and PLY files with texture information from a facial and any open laboratory scanner can be imported too. DWOS 8 also allows the import of 2-D or 3-D image files of the patient’s face during the design process for the creation of a 3-D face.

With the Virtual Model Builder in DWOS 8, enhancements of the flat-bottom removable gingiva result in an optimized model print quality. Plus, a new stump type is optimized for Dental Wings 3-D printers.

Other improvements and enhancements include the homepage displaying the most recent cases for quick access, an RSS feed providing information to the user directly from the software, implant kits, which the user can define as favorites in order creation, and the ability to define whether an

In addition to the DWOS update, Dental Wings announced a new version of DWOS Chairside, intuitive stand-alone open design software that can be combined with an intra-oral or impression scanner and milling machine to create a complete in-office solution. The software provides streamlined and powerful guided workflows and can support a wide range of indications, such as inlays, onlays, full crowns and veneers to be milled in the dental office.

Building on the technology of the previous version and on feedback and suggestions received from partners and users, Chairside 2 delivers intuitive CAM computation that eliminates the need for an intermediate interface before milling of the restoration. This means users can go directly from design to milling in the software, all in-office. A new automated tool allows the alignment of arches with three different methods in the scan review step. This latest version also features new design tools, such as a subgingival area designer for full crowns on implants and a distance color map of the restoration.
