Dr Haris Stratakis is the founder of Positeeth – a composite bonding-specific practice – in Bristol. With a background in aesthetic dentistry, Dr Stratakis has a particular interest in digital dentistry. He has integrated 3D printing into his treatment workflow to obtain a combination of consistent precision and more efficient results. He discusses what encouraged him to pursue working solely with 3D printing for the best patient outcomes:

“As someone who has always had a passion for technology, I wanted to find a way to combine my love for computer science with dentistry. I have now been working with composite for 20 years, striving to achieve the perfect smile for every patient. I have tested so many 3D printers, and the SprintRay Pro 2 3D printer is by far the best.”

Unmatched accuracy

The SprintRay Pro 2 3D printer is renowned for reliable accuracy. Designed to be the most precise 3D printer on the market, the patent-pending Optical Panel Technology offers 35µm resolution and zero distortion. Dr Stratakis explains:

“I was looking for minimal possible errors… the Pro 2 3D printer is faultless every time.”

The SprintRay Pro 2 3D printer is next generation, delivering unprecedented accuracy with maximum throughput. Not only is the accuracy flawless, but the dependability is too, as Dr Stratakis continues:

“Every other printer has failed at some point, but the SprintRay Pro 2 3D printer hasn’t failed once. It is the best quality printer I’ve ever seen… It’s so reliable that I have never had to contact customer support with issues or breakages – but if I ever do, I know the team is super-friendly.”

Used daily within his practice for 3D printed composite bonding, the Pro 2 guarantees consistent precision for the most aesthetic results – maximising patient satisfaction insurmountably. But it is not only the printer that works so well, but the results it attains in conjunction with a remarkable new resin too.

The best chairside, worldwide

Dr Stratakis has searched everywhere for the perfect crown resin solution:

“I was struggling to find a good enough resin for what I do and had to search worldwide for the best materials – I even travelled to New York and back in a day to test resins. I also used to use very viscous resins which were likely creating more failures.

“However, discovering the SprintRay Ceramic Crown resin changed everything. The final result is absolutely amazing, and the cleaning process is so easy.

“The high-quality Ceramic Crown resin also avoids introducing unnecessary toxins to patients – making them better than any other composites. Compared to anything else I have ever used, it is incredibly easy to work with.”

Super speed

The speed of treatment completion is one of the most significant aspects that sets SprintRay apart from the rest. With no need to outsource to laboratories, and a streamlined chairside restorative workflow, every stage from design to printing and finish is handled with ease and efficiency. Dr Haris Stratakis details:

“Having everything in-house makes a massive difference from every single aspect. It used to take me over eight hours to work on eight teeth; the same case now takes just 27 minutes with the SprintRay Pro 2 3D printer – it is so fast that we can literally complete full composite bonding during a patient’s lunch break.

“The SprintRay ordering service reflects this speed by ensuring next-day delivery of the Crown resin too – making the entire professional workflow even faster.”

With the combination of the SprintRay Pro 2 3D printer, the SprintRay Ceramic Crown, and the integrated AI design software affords quick and simple restorative design. The printer is also always connected to the cloud, automatically updating its software and resin profiles – ensuring the greatest speed and resin compatibility.
