From single tooth replacement to full arch implants, DS Signature Workflows are designed to ease the most common clinical challenges in implant treatment.

In 2022 the dental implant market size was valued at more than $4.5 billion and estimated to grow steadily at an over 6.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2032[i], opening up a world of new opportunities for implant dentists.

However, many challenges in implant treatment remain, including 82% of clinicians saying that inefficiencies hamper their single unit procedures and 26% of implant treatment steps are unbillable[ii].

With DS Signature Workflows, the complexity and number of procedural steps in implant treatment can be reduced with diagnostic and surgical support. This enables safe, efficient and individualised treatments for single tooth, part edentulous and full arch implants – three signature workflows that bring a connected digital pathway from scan to crown.

Time-saving procedures

DS Signature Workflows use the crucial diagnostic and planning tools to ensure the right diagnosis for optimal outcomes that drive treatment acceptance.

Surgery and temporisation can be achieved in a single visit with minimal chair time. The predictability and long-term aesthetics of the final restoration can be achieved in fewer steps and shorter visits using digital technologies and advanced materials from one trusted partner.

The result: seamless augmentation procedures for more efficient bone preservation and predictable long-term results for the patient.

The essential products

DS Signature Workflows are made possible with essential products from Dentsply Sirona to bring patient satisfaction and practice growth.

Primescan® intraoral scanner – with 84% of patients preferring digital to conventional impression taking[iii], Primescan is the ideal starting point for digital dentistry.
EV Implant Family – Astra Tech®, PrimeTaper® and OmniTaper™ EV implants with three implant body designs giving access to the same restorative platform through a common EV connection, that’s ideal for maintaining bone and soft tissue stability.
OSSIX® range- with OSSIX Bone for true bone formation, OSSIX Plus resorbable collagen membrane and OSSIX Volumax volumising collagen scaffold.

A workflow for every patient

Dentsply Sirona has introduced three signature workflows that enable safe, convenient and individualised treatments from diagnosis, treatment planning, implant placement, temporisation using customised Atlantis® abutments, final impression using the Primescan intraoral scanner, through to the final restoration:

Single Tooth DS Signature Workflow to overcome the challenges of the most performed implant treatment.
Partial edentulous DS Signature Workflow to overcome the challenges of increased complexity and lack of predictability to create long-lasting aesthetic results while preventing hidden costs.
Full arch DS Signature Workflow to make full arch cases as streamlined as single tooth replacement through a complete system of digital solutions and products.

Transforming implant dentistry

Each DS Signature Workflow is built around the core implant procedures from scan to crown, including ways to overcome the Number 1 cause of failure for multiple tooth replacements – occlusal issues, chipping and missing passive fit[iv].

Clinicians can move from augmentation to implant placement to temporisation in a single visit, resulting in minimal chair time, more healthy, aesthetic outcomes, more satisfied patients, and ultimately a more profitable practice.
