Our Work
Transforming the way dentistry works
At Mimetrik, we are dedicated to revolutionising dental care through advanced 3D scanning technology. Our mission is to provide dental professionals with the best tools for creating high-quality prostheses, ensuring a seamless workflow and superior patient outcomes.
The Cubit360 is the world’s only 3D scanner capable of capturing edentulous impressions and dentures chairside. It is the result of rigorous clinical research, peer-reviewed evidence, and a team that refuses to accept the limitations of conventional tools.
Our Lead Product
Cubit360
The Cubit360™ from Mimetrik is uniquely positioned across the entire dental pathway. Scan edentulous impressions and dentures chairside. ISO-verified sub-2µm accuracy1 and scanning models 5× faster in the lab2 means fewer remakes, faster turnaround, and better outcomes for patients.
- Only scanner that can capture edentulous impressions and dentures chairside
- Six degrees of freedom: no clamping, no articulator frames
- AI-driven artefact removal built in
- Compact desktop footprint: 170×170×200mm, 1.4kg
- No moving parts
- The accuracy of the scans produced by the Cubit360 were verified according to EN ISO 12836:2015.
- The demonstrated accuracy of the standard “inlay” test specimen was 1.3 (±1.1) µm.
- The demonstrated accuracy of the standard “bridge” test specimen was 1.9 (±6.4) µm.
- Clinical evidence shows current average total time for upper + lower + bite scans is >16.5 minutes.
Project 1
Digital Occlusion - Registration & Articulation
A bite registration records how the teeth meet so dentists can identify potential problems that can develop as teeth wear or move throughout life. These issues need to be corrected to ensure that function and appearance of the dentition is maintained.
To date this has only been possible by physically recording a patient’s bite with dental wax or putty and then articulating physical models of their teeth on a mechanical dental articulator.
Mimetrik has already developed patent-pending hardware and software that takes a short video recording and dental scans to calculate, then replicate a patient’s entire chewing cycle entirely digitally. We’ll be moving towards commercialising this ground-breaking technology in the coming months.
This will ultimately lead to dentists having access to more comprehensive information about how a patient bites, resulting in better performing, longer lasting restorative dental work.
Project 2
Virtual Facebow Technology
Traditionally, dentists use a mechanical facebow and articulator to record and replicate facial landmark relationships to ensure complex restorative treatment will fit the facial profile (smile design) and not come under irregular forces in function, leading to failure.
Strapped to a patient’s head to locate the chewing plane, this type of equipment is cumbersome for the dentist and patient, and is very technique sensitive and time-consuming to use.
Mimetrik has created a ‘virtual’ digital facebow using a simple camera with our neural network-trained software to record both how people chew and key facial landmarks.
This innovative approach replaces a complex and time-consuming step in the treatment pathway, saving dentists significant clinical time (and so money) and leading to the production of better fitting, better looking and more durable dental restorations.
