Helsinki-based dental technology and equipment manufacturer, Planmeca Oy have announced the release of the Planmeca Creo C5. Specifically designed for dental professionals, the Planmeca Creo C5 is a chairside 3D printer built with speed and precision in mind, enabling the fabrication of customised surgical guides, dental modes and aligner bases in a single patient visit.
“Additive manufacturing has numerous applications and enormous potential in dentistry as elsewhere”, says Jukka Kanerva, Vice President of Planmeca’s Dental Care Units & CAD/CAM division. “3D printing enables producing patient-specific dental applications reliably and in a fraction of the usual time. Now we are bringing this powerful technology to dental clinics.”

The Planmeca Creo C5 was developed in cooperation with clinical experts in dental technology. Its integration with the Planmeca Romexis software allows for the 3D printing of dental applications and the pre-programmed optimised parameters and automatic nesting offer predictable results for dentists and patients.
”Chairside 3D printing is the next evolution in one-visit dentistry, allowing practices to offer new same-day services to their patients. Planmeca Creo C5 has been developed specifically with this in mind. It’s an easy and dependable plug-and-print solution with many features that are patent pending and completely new. We truly expect it to be a game changer in the industry”, Kanerva added.
Planmeca Creo C5 will be on display at IDS 2019 in Cologne.
