If you are struggling to use the planing software with the implants and devices you like, maybe this is for you:
.."At the same time, lack of interoperability of Computer Assisted Implant Surgery with many established workflows is a major drawback for the clinician. The inability to freely choose the Computer-aided Design Implant Planning Software (CAD-IPS) and combine it with the implant system and the dynamic-CAIS system of choice is a major obstacle repeatedly cited by most clinicians, who have often to resort to “digital acrobatics” and hacks in order to continue using their habitual software, devices and implants.
If industry and manufacturers would like to best serve the clinicians, the number one emerging request is to focus on interoperability of their systems through common standards, rather than continuously trying to lock their users in proprietary devices, formats and workflows".
.. and this is not a manifesto, but an actual extract from a paper we are just about to submit for publication! No more comments needed.
What do thing? Shall we go ahead? add your comment if you feel the same, we do really need to make a very loud point here! 🖖
