Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a significant life-threatening, yet an under-treated chronic disease. While it is traditionally treated by Continuous Positive Airways Pressure (CPAP) devices, their low compliance rate (50 % non-compliance after 6 months1 ) has paved the way for treatment alternatives such as oral sleep appliances. These small and practical devices can be used for snoring and mild to moderate OSA. They can also be used for severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) when patients are non-compliant with CPAP.
Thanks to digital impressions, sleep appliance treatments have never been so easy and comfortable. With Primescan and Omnicam you get outstanding and reliable scan data to create custom-made sleep devices for your patients.
Improve your patients' sleep while growing your practice with the validated workflow.
Benefits
Primescan delivers excellent, reliable, high quality intraoral scan data to create custom-made sleep devices. This nearly eliminates the necessity for any adjustments during the patients’ visit.
The easy to use, validated fully digital workflow allows you to complete a full arch scan in less than one minute. This procedure can also be delegated, saving you time and empowering your assistants.
With Primescan you can take a full-arch scan in less than one minute and safely transfer the data via the Connect Case Center. Sending digital impressions instead of analog casts also increases turnaround times for a Panthera D-SAD.
This high-tech oral sleep appliance workflow gives you the ability to offer a lifestyle product that makes your patients happy and healthier by treating snoring & sleep apnea. Deliver greater satisfaction for your patients and grow your business at the same time.
“The validated digital workflow solution between Primescan & Panthera enables dentists to help many suffering patients live a longer, better and healthier life.”

The manufacturing and shipping will take about 15 days.
Panthera currently supports English and French. More languages will be added over time.
It is possible to order a Panthera sleep device with Omnicam, but this workflow is not validated by Dentsply Sirona and Panthera. If the scan quality fits the Panthera requirement, the order will be accepted by Panthera. In this case, we suggest a guided scanning using Omnicam.
Besides Primescan no additional equipment is needed. This is one of the advantages of Panthera: It is sufficient to scan the patient's entire jaw and register the bite for the protrusion. After that, the scan data can be sent directly to Panthera Dental – either via the Connect Case Center or via STL file. Within 15 days, the D-SAD is designed and manufactured by Panthera Dental's own CAD/CAM process. The dentist receives a custom-made sleeping device and can start treatment immediately.
