GDPR-compliant transfer of patient data using DentaMile connect
Transfer files for dental 3D printing efficiently and securely
Digitalisation within the dental industry is opening up opportunities for collaboration in ways that have never been seen before. But there are also potential pitfalls when it comes to the digital handling of sensitive data. Patient data in particular, e.g. digital designs for CAD/CAM processes, are subject to special protection. How can this data be transferred securely, quickly and reliably while also complying with GDPR? With DentaMile File Transfer.
Digitalisation? Yes, please! But not without data protection
Data protection is an absolute priority when it comes to digitalisation. Those who use services such as free file-sharing platforms or send sensitive data by email run the risk of data protection breaches. And if several different services are used, things can get confusing pretty quickly. Some file-sharing service providers also store data on foreign servers, which can potentially lead to data protection violations.
The File Transfer function in DentaMile connect offers a GDPR-compliant solution for secure data transfer in which all documents, files and patient data are clearly assigned to a specific practitioner and stored on European servers.
What data can I transfer with DentaMile?
DentaMile File Transfer allows you to transfer various data securely and reliably. These include:
-
Design data: CAD files or other digital design data specifying the 3D model to be created.
-
Scan files: 3D scans of the patient’s dentition or other anatomical structures.
-
Photos and X-rays: Visual references to support modelling and planning.
-
Zebris data: Data from Zebris systems for recording jaw movements and functions.
-
Correction PDFs: Documents with comments or corrections made during the modelling process.
-
Approval files: Files required to approve the model or other steps in the workflow.
DentaMile File Transfer lets you transfer this data to partner laboratories clearly, intuitively and in compliance with data protection regulations. Patient data remains strictly confidential in the hands of the practitioner. Data transfer is anonymous as far as the laboratory partner is concerned, but remains clearly identifiable for the practitioner at all times via the case ID.

Using the model workflow in DentaMile connect
The process for a finished 3D-printed model doesn’t end with the digital design of the object. The rest of the workflow, from data transfer and the right material through to the printer and post-processing units, needs to function just as smoothly and reliably. This is why we at DentaMile have looked at things from our customers’ perspective, identified stumbling blocks in common digital processes and developed solutions.
Integrating design data from different sources is particularly challenging. That’s why we offer our model workflow. It starts with the existing object file that has been created in any choice of design software. DentaMile File Transfer is used to transfer this file to a production partner conveniently, quickly and in compliance with GDPR. This includes any required accompanying documents and notes listed as part of the completed case.
