Glidewell Partners With Digital Arches to Streamline All-on-X Workflows
OPTISPLINT(R) and ARCHTRACER(TM) by Digital Arches are now available through Glidewell to support All-on-X full-arch digital restorations. NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA / / March 31, 2025 / Glidewell, industry-leading dental lab and comprehensive provider of surgical and restorative implant solutions, has partnered with Digital Arches to become an official provider of OPTISPLINT®, a high-precision means of enabling digital workflows for All-on-X implant restorations, as well as ARCHTRACER™ fiducial markers. The partnership was established to expand Glidewell's options for capturing and submitting digital impressions for the BruxZir® Full-Arch Implant Prosthesis, which has been prescribed by thousands of dentists to restore fully edentulous implant cases. The OPTISPLINT features a unique process for the full-arch digital restorative workflow in which scan bodies are placed and then luted together intraorally using a honeycomb frame, creating a verification jig that is easily removed from the mouth for immediate scanning. The OPTISPLINT can also be sent to the lab and used to pour a verified cast prior to restoration fabrication. This process offers a highly predictable means of achieving a passive and highly accurate fit with a fixed full-arch prosthesis. "This collaboration represents a significant step forward in streamlining digital workflows for full-arch restorations," said Autumn Shumaker, director of business development and sales at Digital Arches. "In the fast-evolving world of digital dentistry, staying ahead means adopting the right tools, and OPTISPLINT backed by Glidewell is the full-arch game-changer every clinician needs." Glidewell will directly offer OPTISPLINT and ARCHTRACER to its full-arch customers, including starter packages and single-arch kits that offer everything needed to create the custom verification jig, with options for 4, 5, or 6 scan bodies. The company has also partnered with Digital Arches to provide clinicians with a range of clinical resources to help dentists streamline All-on-X implant treatment with the OPTISPLINT, from how-to videos to detailed clinical appointment guides. "We're excited to expand our solutions for capturing precise scans for All-on-X workflows," said Darius Raudys, general manager of implants at Glidewell.
