Straumann EXACT™ workflow: a landmark in digital full-arch

The EXACT™ workflow brings together cost-efficiency, accuracy, speed, and flexibility, making full-arch restorations more accessible and predictable​.

Achieving a fully digital workflow for full-arch restorations has long been a challenge. With Straumann EXACT™ workflow, labs and clinicians can now digitize the entire process – from temporary to final restoration – without relying on physical models or verification jigs (Straumann - Data on File, 2024). The workflow brings together cost-efficiency, accuracy, speed, and flexibility, making full-arch restorations more accessible and predictable​.

Developed with Precision: Over 50 prototypes and 1,000 scans

EXACT was developed through extensive testing, with more than 50 prototypes evaluated across 1,000 scans to optimize usability and accuracy. The system achieves an accuracy of 22 microns (µm), staying well within the 50µm threshold required for passive-fitting prostheses​ (Straumann - Data on File, 2024).

Cost-efficiency: a practical alternative to photogrammetry

Achieving high accuracy in digital full-arch workflows often requires photogrammetry systems, which come with a high capital investment. EXACT offers a cost-effective solution without the need for additional hardware, making digital workflows more accessible​. Validated with Straumann SIRIOS™ and Trios 3 Shape scanners.*

Accuracy: Reliable scanning for full-arch cases

One of the key challenges in full-arch scanning is maintaining precision across edentulous arch. EXACT uses BASE scanbodies with interconnecting LINKS, ensuring stable, distortion-free scans. This physical connection overcomes the limitations of traditional scanbodies and allows for highly precise intraoral scanning (IOS), with an accuracy of 22µm​.*

Speed: A fully digital workflow without manual steps

Traditional workflows require verification jigs and physical models, adding complexity and time to full-arch cases. EXACT eliminates these steps, enabling direct IOS and a streamlined digital process. (Straumann - Data on File, 2024) Cases can be submitted digitally without a written lab RX, reducing chair time and accelerating the transition to final restorations​.

Flexibility: work within your existing digital workflow

EXACT is validated with Straumann SIRIOS(TM) and Trios 3 Shape (Straumann - Data on File, 2024) and fully compatible with Straumann UN!Q™, allowing collaboration with preferred lab partners.

What users say:

Dr. Daniel Pinto from Tysons Corner, Clear Choice, highlights the impact of EXACT: “We have found that the EXACT system has significantly improved our workflow. Eliminating the need to send out models has saved considerable time, and the ability to submit cases directly through the Straumann portal without a written lab RX has improved our process. Additionally, we can now track the progress of our cases in real time, which has been a major advantage. Overall, EXACT has enabled us to work more efficiently and get our patients into their finals as quickly as possible.”

Virginia Flores, Lead Lab Technician at Tysons Corner, also emphasizes the efficiency and ease of case tracking with EXACT.

A perfect match for digital full-arch restorations

With 22µm accuracy, a fully digital workflow, and a cost-effective approach, Straumann EXACT™ provides a structured and efficient solution for full-arch restorations. By removing traditional barriers, the system allows clinicians and labs to work faster, more accurately, and with greater flexibility​.

For those looking to move fully digital, EXACT is a practical and accessible solution for modern dental workflows.
