IDS.online: The Global Portal for the Dental Community

Cologne, October 30, 2025 – IDS online GmbH was recognized as an AI innovator by the German Innovation Institute for Sustainability and Digitalization (diind). The award was presented by Brigitte Zypries, former Federal Minister for Economic Affairs, who praised the company’s commitment to practical digital innovations in the dental industry.IDS online GmbH stands out with its innovative AI solutions, which help manufacturers, distributors, and dental practices automate processes and make them more efficient. In doing so, the company is laying a crucial foundation for the digital transformation of the dental industry. An outstanding example is the Order Process Hub (OPH)—an AI-powered solution that automatically processes and validates orders from a wide variety of channels and integrates them into existing systems. “One of our larger customers now processes over 400 orders per month fully automatically via the OPH—clear proof of how artificial intelligence creates real added value and efficiency in the dental industry,” explains Michael Mollath, Managing Director of IDS online GmbH. In addition to the Order Process Hub, IDS online also leverages AI in other areas. For example, the company uses intelligent features in its digital supplier and product directory to offer manufacturers greater visibility and provide users with more relevant results—in line with the vision of a modern, data-driven ecosystem for the dental industry.IDS online’s solutions are suitable for dental companies of all sizes—especially small and medium-sized businesses, which can gain a real competitive advantage through intelligent process automation and data-driven decisions. “We are very pleased to receive the AI Innovator award. It confirms our approach of not developing digital innovations for their own sake, but rather deploying them strategically where they truly advance the industry,” Mollath continued.

Dental technicians who demand the highest standards of aesthetics and precision know that standard solutions quickly reach their limits when it comes to color matching for zirconia. Those seeking more shades, design options, and control will now find an innovative solution at pritidenta. The company specializes in the development of high-quality zirconia products, such as priti®multidisc ZrO2, in various levels of translucency. Two alternative sintering programs have been developed that allow the color appearance of restorations to be specifically varied—without compromising the safety or material properties of the zirconia.Color Control via the Sintering ProcessThe preset color of zirconia can be controlled within defined limits. The key factor in pritidenta’s sintering processes is the amount of heat applied during sintering:Higher heat input → lighter, more subtle color; lightness value (L*) increases; red (a*) and yellow (b*) components decrease. Lower heat input → more intense, warmer color; lightness (L*) is slightly reduced; red (a*) component increases. Thus, the sintering process opens up new possibilities for aesthetic fine-tuning. The programs were successfully tested by pritidenta application technicians on 1- to 14-unit zirconia restorations. Note: For precise results, sintering should be performed exclusively in calibrated furnaces. A final temperature measurement using PTC rings (MTH) from pritidenta is recommended.Tips for Dental Technicians: The color effect is more pronounced in bridges and larger restorations. PTC rings (MTH) allow for reliable monitoring of the actual heat input. Differences can be clearly documented using bridge samples under various cycles as well as two Vita shade guides (light & chromatic). Advantages at a Glance ✅ Expanded color spectrum – lighter & more subtle or more intense & warmer, depending on individual requirements✅Proven safety – no impairment of flexural strength, hardness, or biocompatibility with priti®multidisc ZrO₂✅Reliable process – tested on 1- to 14-unit restorations, safe in calibrated furnaces

Eiterfeld, November 2025 // imes-icore introduces the new CORiTEC 650i PRO series, a high-end system for dental manufacturing. Designed for dental labs and milling centers with the highest standards, the machine sets new benchmarks in precision, productivity, and versatility. It combines state-of-the-art drive technology, a stable natural granite base, and fully automated processes—designed for continuous 24/7 operation. Maximum flexibility for all dental materials and applications The CORiTEC 650i PRO series is designed for maximum versatility. It processes the full spectrum of dental CAD/CAM materials—including zirconia, titanium, cobalt-chromium, and plastics such as PMMA, PEEK, or wax. Even particularly hard materials can be machined precisely and reliably thanks to the water-cooled high-frequency spindle with 5.7 kW of power and up to 50,000 revolutions per minute.The system thus covers all common indications in digital dental technology—from crowns and bridges to implant bars and abutments, all the way to complex telescopic restorations. A particular advantage: The integrated hybrid machining enables the precise post-processing of additively manufactured metal parts (from 3D printing). This provides laboratories and milling centers with additional flexibility and possibilities—and gives them clear competitive advantages. Stable Construction for Maximum Precision The base of the CORiTEC 650i PRO series is made of solid natural granite—a material known for its excellent stability and vibration damping. This machine structure, combined with linear and torque motor-driven machining axes featuring high-precision, absolute measuring systems (with a resolution of 0.05 μm / 26-bit), ensures exceptionally smooth operation and consistently precise machining results.Even during continuous 24/7 operation, accuracy remains constant—a decisive advantage for laboratories with high-quality requirements and continuous production. Technological Highlights for the Highest StandardsThe CORiTEC 650i PRO series combines state-of-the-art drive technology, intelligent control, and long-term precision in a well-designed system. The machining axes are driven by linear and torque motors and are equipped with high-resolution, absolute measurement systems (0.05 μm / 26-bit). They enable precise positioning—even with complex geometries and high machining speeds. At the heart of the machining process is the water-cooled 5.7 kW high-frequency spindle. With speeds of up to 50,000 rpm and a 4-point hybrid ball bearing system, it offers the stability and durability required for the most demanding materials.The integrated EROWA zero-point clamping system, with a clamping force of 5,000 N and a repeatability of less than 5 μm, ensures maximum process reliability. Automatic temperature compensation reliably counteracts thermal effects—delivering consistently precise results, even over long production cycles.Automated tool changers—a 16-position blank changer (loader version) and a 32-position HSK tool changer—enable uninterrupted production. Particularly efficient: Thanks to the new turning and milling process, a single abutment takes only up to 4 minutes to produce in high-speed mode. The system is rounded out by the new, open, industrial CNC control system “iNC.” It allows for flexible integration into individual workflows and offers full control over all machining processes. A Secure Investment in the Future: The sturdy natural granite foundation forms the basis for the precision that the CORiTEC 650i PRO series is known for. Complemented by proven control technology, it guarantees the highest machining quality—with excellent surface finishes and maximum repeatability.The integrated tool-changing systems enable fully automated production in 24/7 operation—ideal for milling centers with high utilization rates. In addition, the machine offers advanced hybrid machining: 3D-printed metal parts can be precisely post-processed and finished in a seamless digital workflow.Thanks to its open system architecture, the CORiTEC 650i PRO series can be optimally adapted to customer-specific requirements. This makes it not only a high-performance production system for today’s needs—but also an investment with a promising future.
