Over the last few months, DS Core, Dentsply Sirona’s digital dental platform has continued to receive new functionalities and continuous improvements based on valuable customer feedback. These changes continue to make the platform a powerful tool for dental offices, specialists as well as labs. This article explores the latest updates and features on DS Core, including an advanced ordering solution, improved collaboration tools and SureSmile^® Aligner Treatment Simulator. 

DS Core ordering solution: More indications and improved lab collaboration

DS Core ordering solution is your one-stop-shop for design and manufacturing orders for various indications. Same functionality as the Connect Case Center that Omnicam and Primescan intra-oral scanner users know, but accessible from any device and integrated seamlessly in DS Core. Recent feature updates are described below:
 

• Expanded lab options: DS Core’s integrated ordering solution allows dental practices to place orders to a continuously growing list of dental labs that registered and actively use DS Core. Additionally, any lab can use DS Core without a subscription to receive orders.
  
• Better chat: The chat functionality in the DS Core ordering solution has undergone a modern user experience update, now supporting embedded two-way file-sharing for great dentist-lab collaboration.
  
• Increased compatibility: The ordering solution can be used with intra-oral scans from Dentsply Sirona and 3rd party scanners. STL, PLY and OBJ file formats can now be viewed directly within DS Core 3D web-viewer.
  
• SureSmile^® Aligner Treatment ordering։ DS Core enables dentists to initiate SureSmile^® Aligner Treatment orders directly from the platform. With a SureSmile^® Aligner account, dentists can seamlessly initiate the treatment planning and ordering processes.
  
• Save orders as draft: After having started creating an order, the process can be paused and the draft of the order can be finalized later, increasing flexibility and delegation options.
  
• Free account option for dentists: DS Core offers a non-paid account designed for those interested in only ordering via DS Core, without any storage or more advanced collaboration and consultation features – a great replacement for your Connect Case Center account. The non-paid account is available to customers after their 3 months trial, or at any time when canceling their subscription.

DS Core Lab accounts: Growing list of features, at no cost to the lab

DS Core is also available to labs – offering the ability to access the digital dental platform as the dentist version, now with specific features that support the lab's workflow.

• Free registration: Labs can register free-of-charge on DS Core, to offer their services, reach all dentists on the platform and exchange files and collaborate with their dentists.
  
• Redesigned chat: Labs benefit from the same chat functionality improvements in the DS Core ordering solution as the dentist, with a modern UX update and support for embedded two-way file-sharing.
  
• Increased compatibility: The ordering solution can be used with intra-oral scans from Dentsply Sirona and 3rd party scanners. STL, PLY and OBJ file formats can now be viewed directly within DS Core 3D web-viewer.
  
• New PDF worksheets documentation feature: Labs can now export the order information as a PDF worksheet for complete order documentation. The worksheet includes information such as sender, patient, recipient, order details, and treatment details. This allows labs to print worksheets and attach them to their internal workflow system when creating a physical restoration.
  
• New ´´Invite dentists to DS Core´´ feature: Labs can now invite dentists that are not yet on DS Core to join the platform. Labs have the ability to inform all their dentists about their accessibility via DS Core,regardless of intra-oral scanner they use. Additionally, labs can directly propose themselves as a preferred lab for their dentists, who only need to accept.
