exocad, an Align Technology, Inc. company and a leading dental CAD/CAM software provider, showcased its latest developments with new AI-enabled services, the upcoming Chemnitz release cycle, and a new concept of minimally invasive dentistry at the International Dental Show (IDS) 2025, Hall 1, Booth A040/C041. The software company unveiled its new testimonial campaign, featuring six renowned dental professionals and dedicated exocad users, and invited interested attendees to try out the latest software features and releases at interactive, test-and-try “ArCADe” stations. Visitors attended lectures from dental leaders and received software demos from exocad application specialists.
“At IDS, we enjoyed showing visitors the innovative AI-enabled services we’ve designed to enhance productivity and craft compelling smile makeover visualizations that patients value,” said exocad CCO and General Manager Novica Savic. “At exocad, we are committed to advancing digital dentistry and are always excited to present the exocad community with the latest innovations for cutting-edge CAD designs.”
New Products and Services
At the booth, visitors viewed the new DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina Feature Release highlights, including TruSmile Video*, TruSmile Photo*, and AI Design**. With TruSmile Video* and TruSmile Photo*, dental professionals experienced how to generate achievable and highly emotional before-and-after visualizations based on individual tooth setups and treatment plans for increased patient engagement. Visitors also learned how to generate high-quality design suggestions for single-unit crowns with the new AI Design** service from within DentalCAD.
To use these new services, users can now purchase exocad Credits. These credits can be bought through the exocad webshop and/or exocad resellers and utilized via users’ my.exocad accounts. Visitors also received a sneak peek at exciting new features of the Chemnitz release cycle.
Minimally Invasive Dentistry on the Rise
During IDS 2025, exocad offered deeper insights into its new approach, which brings the worlds of restorative and orthodontic dentistry closer together. Expert presenters MDT Steven Campbell, Dr. Eimear O’Connell, and exocad’s own Niloofar Sotouhi demonstrated exocad’s vision of comprehensive dentistry, combining tooth movement with restorative treatments in a minimally invasive way to preserve patients’ tooth structure.
Collaboration Is Key
With the new “hero” marketing campaign setting the tone, exocad highlighted how digital dentistry and teamwork support transformation, emphasizing collaboration between clinics and labs. For the first time at IDS, visitors tried out the latest software releases at exocad’s arcade-style “test-and-try” stations. The exocad application specialist team answered visitors’ questions with live tutorials.
The Voice of the Lab at exocad
Voices from the Bench hosts Elvis Dahl and Barbara Warner Wojdan brought their popular dentistry podcast to the exocad booth and captured interviews with visitors and dental experts.
Charity Initiative and 15th Anniversary
Visitors to exocad’s booth had the opportunity to purchase exocad T-shirts to support a dental charity. In 2024, exocad donated 10,000 euros to the Germany-based nonprofit organization Mini Molars Cambodia e.V., which provides dental care to underprivileged children in Cambodia.
exocad also celebrated its 15th anniversary at IDS. As part of the celebration, the company introduced a daily “purple hour” to mark the event for visitors at the booth.
exocad names its releases after current EU “European Capitals of Culture” and selected the city of Chemnitz for this year’s release cycle.
