Dentsply Sirona Hub: Effortless CEREC backups

As dental practices transition more and more to the new frontier of digital dentistry, the importance of ensuring your data is both secure and accessible has never been more vital.

As a major player in the delivery of high tech digital dentistry, Dentsply Sirona has introduced the Dentsply Sirona Hub, an innovative hardware solution to make its CEREC workflow considerably easier. Using the Dentsply Sirona Hub, CAD/CAM data is automatically available on all CEREC workstations in a practice's network. The data is securely encrypted and is also protected against loss by a double backup.

Patient data can also be shared with Sidexis imaging software. For example, if a patient is scanned with CEREC Omnicam and their personal data has already been stored for an x-ray, there is no need to enter the information again on the CEREC unit.

Hub is intended to assume the future role as the practice's data centre. Consequently, its functionality will expand gradually and be available to users through free updates. The functions that can be used at its launch will benefit users with multiple acquisition units or practice laboratories in particular. Users no longer need to import and export data manually and can now be absolutely certain that data is transferred and saved with strong encryption, something that is not possible with conventional solutions. This system allows practices to satisfy the highest requirements of data security. Hub installation also couldn't be simpler–just connect it to the power source and network and switch it on. Its "Plug & Play" functionality means that Hub does the rest automatically and it connects independently to all compatible devices and workstations in the network.
