Kevork Manoukian, DMD, MBA, is a multidisciplinary dentist based in Montreal with an appetite for dental innovation. That, along with his diverse skillset and patient-focused approach, has earned him a well-deserved reputation as a trusted dental professional. His passion for integrating cutting-edge digital technology into his practice is particularly evident in his use of Dentsply Sirona's Primescan® 2 and DS Core®, products that have significantly enhanced the way he delivers care.
"Not only does the Primescan 2 allow the user and patient a better impression-taking experience than old-fashioned impressions, but it does so in a wireless and computer-less manner," Manoukian attests. With just a WiFi connection, the Primescan 2 intraoral scanner can capture high-precision digital impressions, which are immediately available to view on any connected device via the DS Core portal. This means fast, accurate impressions-without the discomfort of traditional impression materials.

The seamless integration between Primescan 2 and DS Core is a standout feature of his digital workflow, Manoukian says. The DS Core cloud platform, he adds, goes far beyond simply storing digital impressions.
"DS Core users will discover that not only are the digital impressions stored, but all additional patient records-like photos, intraoral and extraoral x-rays, CBCT images, and more-are saved in a single and safe environment," Manoukian notes. "Before the advent of DS Core, managing multiple platforms for patient records was cumbersome and time-consuming. But with DS Core I can easily access all patient data in one place, improving both the efficiency of treatment planning and the quality of care.
Offering a range of services at his general dental practice, Manoukian, who is a certified CEREC Doctors Mentor and CEREC trainer, has seen how the Primescan 2 eliminates the problematic issues associated with traditional impressions, such as messy materials, potential patient gagging, and the risk of having to redo the impression. "With a digital Primescan 2 impression, we only need to rescan the incomplete area and reuse previous scan data, streamlining the impression process and improving outcomes."
In restorative treatments, digital impressions have revolutionized the way Manoukian approaches cases. "We now go digital for all our impression needs," he shares. The ability to quickly access and review high-quality digital impressions has empowered Manoukian and his team to offer more precise and personalized restorative care. Unlike physical models, which can be lost or damaged, digital impressions are secure, easy to retrieve, and remain in pristine condition, he says, providing a long-lasting and accurate record for future treatment.
Manoukian is enthusiastic about the future of digital impressions. "Digital impression-taking with the Primescan 2 will do to traditional impression-taking what digital x-rays did to film x-rays," he predicts. "The precision, comfort, ease of use, and cost are already at unbeatable levels."
