Mr Müller, Mr Plate, how were you involved in the development of Primescan 2? Müller: The project goes back further than one might think. It was years back that we assessed our portfolio and asked how we could make it future proof. This was around the time that DS Core was getting started.

Years ago, Sirona tried to bring MRI into dentistry, but the effort was aborted; however, the knowledge of what would be needed for MRI to make sense in dentistry remained. When bringing a new technology into dentistry, it often helps to build on what has been done in general medicine.
