Trawling the many halls of the International Dental Show, IDS 2023, in March in Cologne, Germany, the replication of solutions was apparent at every turn. Implants, intraoral scanners, 3D printers, CBCT systems, benchtop mills and the like all enjoyed the rarefied pedestal of innovation drivers at various points in history but alas are now commonplace with myriad choices available at every level.
At the IDS, we are looking for different. New. And the question is always what is the next big thing? What will drive the next technological change in dentistry? What will give us leverage and allow us to stand out from the crowd?
At IDS 2023, that stand out product was clearly RayFace. Whereas 3D facial scanning is not brand new per se, through RayFace, Ray has defined the category, established the benchmark and attributed purpose to what otherwise could be dismissed as novelty.
RayFace is a desktop 3D facial scanner that captures a highly accurate extraoral scan of your patient in 1-2 seconds. This scan then integrates with intraoral scans and CBCT data to form an invaluable aid in treating cosmetic and full arch cases, digital dentures and more.
By using this advanced digital technology from diagnosis to treatment, the new genre of "Face Driven Dentistry" has been created by considering the patient's overall facial features - beyond the smile alone - enabling dentists to achieve a high level of accuracy in diagnosis and treatment planning for better, more predictable and aesthetic outcomes.
At IDS 2023, Ray showcased all of its cutting-edge made in Korea digital imaging solutions - RayScan CBCT, intraoral scanners, 3D printers and CAD/CAM software, which are highly innovative and can be tailored to the specific needs of each dental practice. However, RayFace took centre stage, occupying the majority of the expansive exhibition space.
Presentations on the technology by well-known dentists and prosthetists throughout the IDS saw the aisles around the stand regularly blocked with dentists and experts from different parts of the world including Australia and New Zealand impressed by this digital dental solution that will enable them to improve their workflow and enhance the patient experience... because apart from being a clinical tool, RayFace will add a 100% WOW factor to your practice and get your patients spreading the word.
Ray's large presence at IDS 2023 highlighted the company's commitment to advancing the field of digital dentistry and facial scanning in particular and Ray's innovative solutions are likely to play a key role in shaping the future of dental practice globally including Australia and New Zealand, one face at a time.
