Leading digital dentistry: SprintRay at BDIA Dental Showcase

Making a strong impression once again at BDIA Dental Showcase, SprintRay demonstrated the continued growth and clinical impact of digital dentistry, highlighting how its advanced 3D in-house printing solutions are transforming modern practice.

Through an informative press meeting at the SprintRay stand, engaging lecture and an interactive workshop, SprintRay showcased both the practical and commercial value of its technology to attending clinicians.

3D printing partner

As BDIA’s exclusive 3D printing partner, SprintRay presented its latest innovations, including the Crown HT resin. The educational sessions provided valuable insight for those exploring – or already integrating – digital workflows, with delegates also able to trial the technology and workflow during the Clinical Excellence Workshop.

Dr Neil Harris, a recognised figure in dentistry, delivered a lecture in the Business Theatre on behalf of SprintRay, focusing on how digital solutions can be successfully implemented within practice as a worthwhile investment. Highlighting the capabilities of Midas – including its efficient workflows and consistent results – he also shared practical advice on maximising profitability.

Dr Harris began with a key piece of advice: ‘Do not lower your prices. You are investing in time, technology, and equipment, all of which must be appropriately valued.’ He continued: ‘Always charge for both design time and clinical time. For example, if a patient spends an hour and a half in the chair and printing takes the same again, the patient should be billed for three hours. This is fair, as all time involved should be accounted for.’

Hands-on innovation

Hands-on education was central to SprintRay’s presence, with the company sponsoring the Clinical Excellence Workshop: ‘The Midas revolution: restorations in under 10 minutes’, led by Dr Harris.

Delegates were given the opportunity to complete a full chairside crown workflow using Midas, with guidance at every stage – from scanning and design through to printing and post-processing. The session demonstrated how streamlined, in-practice production can significantly enhance efficiency and reduce turnaround times.

Drawing on his experience as a long-time user of SprintRay systems, Dr Harris also shared practical tips to help clinicians maximise the potential of digital workflows within their own practices.

The next-generation Midas printer is specifically engineered for chairside production, enabling clinicians to deliver high-quality restorations with speed and precision. The workshop clearly illustrated how this approach can improve both workflow efficiency and the overall patient experience.

Shaping the future

By combining education, live demonstrations and hands-on learning, SprintRay provided clinicians with valuable insight into the rapidly evolving role of digital dentistry. The sessions reinforced how modern 3D printing solutions are enabling practices to expand their clinical capabilities and enhance patient care.
