SprintRay's Midas World Tour: A New Era in Same-Visit Restorative Dentistry

On March 11, 2026, SprintRay announced the launch of the Midas World Tour, a groundbreaking educational initiative aimed at transforming restorative dentistry through powerful collaborations with GC America, Meisinger Dental, and Align Technology. Together, these industry leaders are committed to accelerating the adoption of same-visit restorative treatment, offering patients a seamless and efficient experience in dental care.

The Midas World Tour aims to educate dental professionals on the importance of integrated digital workflows in dental practices, highlighting how each partner plays a pivotal role in this evolution. Align Technology, known for its iTero™ scanners, provides the essential digital blueprints through high-precision restorative scans. SprintRay then utilizes this data to produce finished restorations, remarkably, in less than ten minutes utilizing their innovative AI design and advanced 3D printing technology. GC America supports this sophisticated process with its extensive expertise in materials science, ensuring that restorations are durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Meisinger Dental complements the workflow by supplying precision rotary instruments specifically designed for working on 3D printed restorations. This harmonious collaboration fosters a highly efficient, end-to-end process in which patients can receive treatments within a single visit, significantly enhancing the overall dental experience.

John Cox, Chief Growth Officer at SprintRay, remarked, “This initiative is a category-shifting accelerator for the dental industry. Historically, same-visit restorative dentistry has been limited to a small fraction of practices that could afford expensive systems. By harmonizing the efforts of leaders in scanning technology, additive manufacturing, and material sciences, we're making advanced dental practices accessible to more professionals than ever before.”

Sreelakshmi Kolli, Executive Vice President at Align Technology, emphasized the significance of integrating accurate scanning technology into the treatment workflow: “Every successful restoration starts with accurate data that serves as the foundation for treatment planning. By linking precise intraoral scanning with a validated additive workflow, we’re creating a more predictable and efficient path from digital impression to final restoration.”

In addition to fostering industry synergies, the Midas World Tour will serve as an educational platform. Hosted in partnership with the MOD Institute, the tour will take place across 40 locations in 12 countries, offering attendees seven continuing education (CE) credits. Each event promises in-depth, hands-on instruction that equips dental professionals with the skills necessary to implement digital restorative workflows effectively.

With an adoption rate of around 20% for 3D printing in the U.S., this release signals a significant shift toward advanced restorative dentistry solutions that patients have come to expect. Dr. Wally Renne, founder of the MOD Institute, stated, “3D printing isn’t just the future; it’s here and now. Clinicians who adopt these workflows will shape the future of dentistry, while those who resist will lag behind.”

The Midas World Tour is more than a promotional effort; it symbolizes a collective move towards innovation in dentistry, setting the standard for integrated 3D printing workflows in restorative practices. This initiative exemplifies how successful collaboration can not only enhance and streamline processes but ultimately improve patient outcomes in dental care.
