DEXIS Enhances its Dental Implant Ecosystem with Intraoral Scanning Software Update – DEXIS IS ScanFlow

QUAKERTOWN, PA, Mar 19, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Earlier this year, DEXIS launched its dental implant ecosystem so clinicians can manage their entire implant workflow, from diagnosis to delivery, with one integrated toolset. To enhance workflow efficiencies, DEXIS announces the release of a new intraoral scanning update, DEXIS™IS ScanFlow v.1.0.10. The update includes a new series of guided workflows, enhancements to its AI capabilities, and an integration with DEXIS Imaging Suite software version 10.

“We are excited to introduce our latest DEXIS intraoral scanning software update, aimed at boosting productivity for DEXIS software owners and implant workflows,” says Brian Gooch, VP of Marketing at DEXIS. “We’ve made scanning fast and easy, even for more complex situations. Digital impression data is important for implant case planning, so we enable highly accurate data to be incorporated into chairside or open workflows, and easily shared with labs or colleagues.”

The IS ScanFlow software update maintains high-speed scanning, user-friendly interface, precise data capture, and an open, flexible system. Early adopters have provided positive feedback, highlighting the system’s ease of use and its ability to reliably capture accurate data.

Early adopters have reported positive feedback, highlighting the wide range of cases they’re able to accurately capture data for:

“The DEXIS IS 3800W intraoral scanner and its predecessors have enabled me to apply digital dentistry to all my prosthetic and implant cases,” says Dr. Sebastian Patzelt. “Now, with the new AI applications in DEXIS IS ScanFlow, I’m able to digitize the soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity for fixed, removable or implant cases accurately and efficiently. *”

IS ScanFlow v1.0.10 aims to maximize productivity through AI-driven tools for dentists.

The new release adds a brand-new AI Matching tool that simplifies data capture in complex situations like multiple scan bodies, full and partial edentulism.

It also includes algorithm enhancements to its Implant Scan Body AI Assist tool which automatically detects scan bodies and reduces noise in the data, corrects artifacts and enhances details – furthering the automation of precise data capture.

IS ScanFlow v 1.0.10 introduces guided dental workflows to cut manual tasks and simplify processes.

Users now have the flexibility to fill out case information before initiating scanning or after completion, thanks to the new CaseFlow Manager tool. Regardless of the chosen option, users can then move into an easy, guided workflow that automates manual processes, predicts next steps, and assists in acquiring data for the selected indication.

The brand-new Full Arch Implant workflow guides users through the data-capture workflow for a full arch case and then automatically aligns the scans in occlusion, allowing for one consolidated dataset to send to a lab or manufacturer.

IS ScanFlow v 1.0.10 also facilitates efficient lab communication by enabling users to view case progress and real-time lab status updates directly within the Patient History screen. This allows easy collaboration, reduction in delays, and timely completion of tasks.

IS ScanFlow integrates with DTX Studio™ Clinic to connect the implant workflow

“The true power of IS ScanFlow is seen when paired with the core of the DEXIS implant ecosystem-DTX Studio Clinic,” says Brian Gooch, VP of Marketing at DEXIS. “Packed with smart tools and advanced algorithms, DTX Studio Clinic serves as the clinic’s imaging homebase, diagnostic hub, and treatment planning navigator. It connects each step of the implant process together and now, when purchased with an intraoral scanner, comes at no extra cost.

“Implant workflow productivity can be maximized by integrating IS ScanFlow into the rest of the tools and software within the DEXIS digital ecosystem – where practices can manage an entire implant case, from diagnosis to delivery, with one integrated toolset.”

Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL) Announces Relocation of Corporate Headquarters and Expansion of Research & Development and cGMP Production

TEWKSBURY, MA, Mar 15, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL), the world leader in stable isotope chemistry and the separation of carbon-13 (13C), has announced it will be relocating and expanding its corporate headquarters to newly purchased space in Tewksbury, MA, to advance the operations and growth of the company. The purchase was made in June 2023.

The new location is a two-building, 150,000-square-foot campus with 25 lakefront acres at 100 & 200 Ames Pond Drive. The Ames Pond campus will be the home of a new 8,000-square-foot research and development (R&D) facility and will significantly expand cGMP, QC, formulations, and production labs.

This expansion will dramatically improve our capabilities for producing larger scale stable isotope-labeled materials for clinical trials. Our increased production capacity will certainly enable us to better serve our customers and partners.”

CEO Cliff Caldwell adds, “The Ames Pond development, in addition to providing a highly desirable work campus for our employees, elevates our research and development efforts, significantly expands our GMP production capacities, improves operational efficiency, and enhances our ability to innovate for our customers.”

CIL will continue operating its existing headquarters at 3 Highwood Drive, Tewksbury, MA, and production facility located 50 Frontage Road in Andover, MA.

IFF Management’s Perspective on Australia’s GDP Trends

PERTH, W AUSTRALIA, Mar 14, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – In a recent analysis conducted by IFF Management, Australia’s economic landscape has come under scrutiny following the release of GDP data for the final quarter of 2023. The figures reveal a modest growth of 0.2 per cent, reflecting ongoing challenges within the economy and raising questions about the effectiveness of current monetary policies.

Liam Pearce, Chief Financial Officer at IFF Management, commented on the findings, noting, “The data highlights a worrying pattern of restrained growth, especially when taking into account the dynamics of the population.” This observation sheds light on the broader implications of economic activity per capita, which continues to decline despite nominal growth.

Further examination from IFF Management on the data reveals a broader slowdown across various sectors, extending beyond household consumption. “Australia’s economy is experiencing a mild expansion, characterised by limited growth in critical sectors and stagnant domestic demand,” added Michael Vinson, Chief Investment Officer at IFF Management. This assessment highlights the need for a nuanced understanding of the underlying factors contributing to the economic slowdown.

Of particular concern is the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) decision to raise interest rates in November, a move that now faces scrutiny in light of the subdued economic conditions. “Doubts emerge regarding the necessity of the November interest rate hike, considering the minimal inflationary pressures and subdued consumer sentiment,” emphasised Vinson. This sentiment underscores the importance of re-evaluating monetary policies to ensure alignment with economic realities.

Consumer behaviour remains a focal point, with household spending experiencing only marginal growth driven primarily by essential purchases. This cautious approach reflects broader uncertainties within the economy and warrants careful consideration in policy formulation.

Looking ahead, the challenges persist, with implications for small businesses evident in declining sales and subdued performance across various sectors. “The economic landscape presents notable hurdles for small businesses, as evidenced by declining sales and cautious consumer behaviour,” highlighted Vinson. This underscores the need for targeted interventions to support economic resilience and growth.

IFF Management’s analysis offers valuable insights into the complexities of Australia’s economic trajectory. “Navigating through these economic headwinds demands a comprehensive understanding of the underlying dynamics,” concluded Vinson. As policymakers deliberate on future strategies, it is imperative to prioritise measures that foster sustainable growth and resilience within the Australian economy.

Former Silicon Valley executives Jessica and Andrea La Mesa will co-lead The Life You Can Save into its next decade. The wife and husband duo are passionate about innovation and impact and bring a wealth of experience and expertise in impact investing, technology and philanthropy.

In a joint statement, Jessica and Andrea La Mesa expressed, “We are both excited and deeply committed to leveraging our backgrounds to amplify The Life You Can Save’s remarkable work. We are eager to contribute our energies and expertise to not only grow the organization but also to ensure that every donation makes the most significant possible difference in the lives of those in need. It’s more than a responsibility; it’s a passion that drives us to work towards a world where the alleviation of poverty is not just a goal, but a reality.”

As The Life You Can Save continues to grow and evolve, it remains dedicated to its core mission of fighting poverty effectively and efficiently. The organization’s updates and milestones reflect its ongoing commitment to evidence-based practices and continuous improvement.

We look forward to utilizing his expertise and experience as we continue to expand the operations and resources at SJG.

I also greatly appreciate the attention and support we have received from Mr. Omland and Ocean Partners since February 2021, and I am pleased to welcome Brent to the Board of Directors. Quinton and Brent will be integral and valuable additions to the Board of Directors team, and I’m certain they will provide significant and strategic contributions to the further advance and development of the prolific SJG Project. I am excited and looking forward to working with Quinton and Brent.

I would also like to thank Dr. Jose Vargas Lugo and Mr. Ron Vail for their significant contributions to DynaResource over the past few years. Dr. Vargas will continue to be an integral executive for our management team, and Ron will continue to support our strategic business planning. Dr. Vargas and Ron have both contributed greatly to the significant achievements made by DynaResource.”

“I am delighted to join DynaResource alongside Brent Omland,” commented Dr. Hennigh. “San José de Gracia is an exceptional low sulfidation epithermal vein camp that I have kept my eye on for many years. While it is famous for its historic high-grade gold production, I believe this is a system that remains grossly under-explored. I can see several immediate targets in which new high-grade veins might be discovered. I look forward to helping DynaResource develop their current resources as well as pursue the next generation of discoveries yet to be made at San José de Gracia.”

On behalf of Ocean Partners, Mr. Brent Omland, co-CEO of Ocean Partners commented: “We are very pleased to expand our strong relationship with DynaResource and their excellent team in the US and México. We are excited to be a part of the continuing development and expansion of the world class SJG Project and we look forward to providing K.D. and his team additional support and resources.”

IMPORTANT CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING CANADIAN DISCLOSURE STANDARDS

The Company is an “OTC Reporting Issuer” as that term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 51-509, Issuers Quoted in the U.S. Over-the-Counter Markets, promulgated by various Canadian Provincial Securities Commissions. Accordingly, certain disclosure in this news release or other disclosure provided by the Company has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. In Canada, an issuer is required to provide technical information with respect to mineralization, including reserves and resources, if any, on its mineral exploration properties in accordance with Canadian requirements, which differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to registration statements and reports filed by United States companies pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As such, information contained in this news release or other disclosure provided by the Company concerning descriptions of mineralization under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC and not subject to Canadian securities legislation. This news release or other disclosure provided by the Company may use the terms “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”. While these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations (under National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects), the SEC does not recognize them. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted to reserves. In addition, “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities legislation, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, although they may form, in certain circumstances, the basis of a “preliminary economic assessment” as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27 A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Certain information contained in this news release, including any information relating to future financial or operating performance may be deemed “forward-looking”. All statements in this news release, other than statements of historical fact, that address events or developments that DynaResource expects to occur, are “forward-looking information”. These statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect the Company’s expectations regarding the future growth, results of operations, business prospects and opportunities of DynaResource. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current internal projections, expectations or beliefs and are based on information currently available to DynaResource. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “projects”, “potential”, “scheduled”, “forecast”, “budget” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. Certain assumptions have been made regarding the Company’s plans at the San Jose de Gràcia property. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of DynaResource and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct. Such factors include, without limitation: capital requirements, fluctuations in the international currency markets and in the rates of exchange of the currencies of the United States and México; price volatility in the spot and forward markets for commodities; discrepancies between actual and estimated production, between actual and estimated reserves and resources and between actual and estimated metallurgical recoveries; changes in national and local governments in any country which DynaResource currently or may in the future carry on business; taxation; controls; regulations and political or economic developments in the countries in which DynaResource does or may carry on business; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits, diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; competition; loss of key employees; additional funding requirements; actual results of current exploration or reclamation activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; accidents; labor disputes; defective title to mineral claims or property or contests over claims to mineral properties. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks) as well as those risks referenced in the Annual Report for DynaResource available at http://www.sec.gov. Forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and actual results, and future events could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking information. All of the forward-looking information contained in this news release is qualified by these cautionary statements. Although DynaResource believes that the forward-looking information contained in this news release is based on reasonable assumptions, readers cannot be assured that actual results will be consistent with such statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking information. DynaResource expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, events or otherwise.
