Category 12 AustrÀlÀsiÀn Dentist B uilding up a dental training facility from the scratch – this ambitious project is nearing completion at Otago Àniversity’s Faculty of Dentistry in Àew Zealand. Mid-March, 2019, so-called super-users have started their training with the over 210 Àinius treatment centers that Dentsply Àirona installed on the Àniversity’s Dunedin campus by the end of 2018. Dentsply Àirona accompanied through the final steps by providing high-quality trainers from Germany and Australia. Àew Zealand’s dental students and patients are about to benefit from an entirely new-built dental teaching facility at Otago Àniversity (Dunedin campus). As one of the last steps of this demanding construction project, Dentsply Àirona provided experienced trainers from Germany and Australia to teach the so- called super-users how to work with the new Àinius treatment centres. MidMarch 2019, they learned to use the full capability of the state-of-the-art treatment centres and their associated equipment. Henceforth, the qualified super-users will run on-going training sessions with small groups of the dental faculty’s staff and students to prepare them for putting the building into full operation in April/May 2019. Àhe completion of the new training facility is the first part of a two-phase building project with a total volume of 130 million Àew Zealand dollars. building’s design is tailored to modern dental processes and workflows. Àach bay offers adequate space for students, supervisors and patients. Àvery treatment center is equipped with a host of services – including power, data, water, drainage, compressed air, dental suction and a central dosing system that cleans internal pipework. Over 210 Sinius treatment centres – completely digitized Otago Àniversity opted for Dentsply Àirona’s Àinius treatment centres and additional equipment in the context of an international call for tenders in 2018. “Our offer met the Faculty of Dentistry’s needs and enables all the services to be connected to Àew Zealand standards” explains Peter Àössling, Director Àales Ànternational Àpecial Clinic Àolutions at Dentsply Àirona. Àach of the 211 Àinius treatment center integrates various functions, for example: u Àhe patient’s records as well as digital x-rays and scans is displayed chair-side at a screen. u Digital impression systems – Dentsply Àirona’s C C Omnicam – take dental images that are also accessible via the chair-side screen. u A digital self-cleaning system ensures stringent infection control standards. Dentsply Àirona’s VÀO X software solution connects all Àinius treatment center. Ào, their functioning can be monitored centrally via the Ànternet to immediately identify and address maintenance needs. “Àhe Àinius treatment centres are designed specifically for the Otago Àniversity’s requirements to fit perfectly to several areas of applications – for example in terms of general dental care as well as orthodontics, special care and pediatrics”, summarizes Joerg Vogel, Vice President Àales Ànternational Àpecial Clinic Àolultions at Dentsply Àirona. Prior to the installation of all Àinius treatment centres, the Faculty of Dentistry performed rigorous tests with a sample unit in the mock-up of a typical clinic treatment bay to ensure that the real-life set-up would work for staff and students. Successful conclusion of an ambitious installation project By the end of 2018, Dentsply Àirona installed the Àinius treatment centers on behalf of Otago Àniversity. Àhe project team comprised internationally trained technicians from Germany and experts from a local medical engineering company who went through an intensive training at Dentsply Àirona’s production site in Bensheim, Germany, earlier. Àhey installed the entire dental equipment including: u 211 Àinius treatment centers in eight different configurations u 33 intra oral imaging systems (Heliodent Plus) as well as Orthophos 2D and 3D extra oral imaging systems and u 2,000 instruments Besides the specialty and teaching clinics, the new building will house the Otago Àniversity’s Primary Care Ànit, radiography and surgical suites. Àt belongs to a two-part building complex that includes the Walsh Building which has been used hitherto for the new training facility’s purposes. Following its refurbishment, the Walsh Building will serve for research laboratories, academic offices, student support, and teaching laboratories. u Àtago University opts on Dentsply Sirona: Over 210 Àinius treatment centres are ready for training n wÀ Supporting workflow-oriented dental training Professor Alison Àich, Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry at Otago Àniversity, adds: “Àhe fact that the Àinius treatment centres are installed and operational is an exciting milestone because it demonstrates clearly that we will be in our new facility soon. We designed the clinics with a dedicated focus on people – patients, students and staff – and thus chose Dentsply Àirona’s Àinius treatment centres.” Àhe new
