SIRONA DENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. 
By Bensheim/Salzburg. Sirona, the dental equipment manufacturer from Bensheim, Germany, has once again received the renowned iF product design award. In the presence of 2,000 guests, Johannes Krug, Product Manager Lab Hardware at Sirona, accepted the coveted award last Friday at BMW Welt in Munich. After winning the Good Design Award in 2013, the extraoral scanner inEos X5 was able to impress a design jury once again, faced with major international competition from 4,615 entries from 55 countries. "Good design is not an end in itself; rather it makes an essential contribution to the fact that our products are easier to handle. The user-friendliness and quality of our products is confirmed again and again with every design award", says Krug.
All-rounder for the dental laboratory
Thanks to its outstanding design, inEos X5 impresses with its easy handling. The extraoral scanner digitalizes impressions and partial and whole jaw models with the striking 5-axis robot arm. In this way, the new scanning technology with autofocus function offers outstanding accuracy and depth of definition, thus creating the perfect platform for designing and producing CAD/CAM restorations. The new operating concept increases flexibility for the dental technician so that the scanning process can be optimally integrated into the workflow of the laboratory. While the manual scanning mode performs simple operations quicker, the fully automatic scanning mode has its benefits especially with regard to extensive operations: it reduces the steps required by the user. In addition, the data volume is optimized by the scan and the subsequent calculation of the model is accelerated.
The dental technician can quickly access the model thanks to the large and open operating area. Due to the universal model and impression tray holder, all common articulators, conventional model support and split cast systems, as well as impression trays in all sizes, can be used. Furthermore, up to four prepared stumps can be positioned in a special holder with the so-called multi-die scanning and simultaneously digitalized.

- In 2009, TENEO received the iF Gold Award and was the first dental product to receive this award in the history of the renowned design prize.
