What It Is

Dental Server is a digital scanning and cloud management service for plaster dental models, aimed at dental healthcare organizations. Its companion scanning service is called “デジモ”. Its core value is not as a general-purpose cloud drive, but as a way to centrally digitize and store dental plaster models, intraoral scan data, patient photos, treatment materials, and related records. This helps reduce on-site storage needs, lower the risk of loss or disaster damage, and improve model searchability and restoration.

Core Features and Integrations

デジモ provides high-resolution 3D scanning at the 10-micron level and exports in STL, a common format for CAD/CAM workflows. As a result, the data can be opened by a variety of viewing tools and used to fabricate dental lab work through CAD/CAM processes. The provider also has dental stereolithography 3D printers, enabling physical models to be reproduced from digital data. The cloud component of Dental Server supports model data management and backup, as well as a Library feature for managing patient facial photos, intraoral photos, personal information, treatment status, cephalometric images, and academic materials. Existing STL models can also be registered, reducing the burden of migrating historical data. The source text does not disclose APIs, developer support, specific third-party system integrations, or role-based permission capabilities.

Pricing and Deployment

Pricing is relatively transparent: scanning costs ¥2,500 per upper/lower jaw case. For 5 or more cases, one-way shipping is covered by the provider; for 10 or more cases, round-trip shipping is covered; and for 100 or more cases, special discounts can be negotiated. The cloud service is offered as a monthly subscription. The limited model management plan ranges from ¥500/month to ¥1,000/month. The standard plans with Library are Light at ¥900/month and Standard at ¥1,900/month, while Premium requires inquiry. Most plans require an initial registration fee of ¥30,000, while Premium requires ¥50,000. Deployment is cloud-based and can be used from an internet-connected PC or tablet, with no need for additional dedicated hardware. Self-hosting is not mentioned.

Security, Pros and Cons, and Best Fit

On security, the source text states that communications use 256-bit SSL, and that the cloud servers are ISO27001-certified and compliant with the PCI DSS Level 1 service provider standard. The strengths are its deep focus on dental workflows, the broad compatibility of STL, a low entry price, and the ability to combine scanning with cloud archiving into a closed-loop process. The drawbacks are the lack of common enterprise software details such as a free trial, payment methods, SLA, team permissions, audit logs, and APIs. The workflow also depends on mailing physical models, making it better suited to dental clinics, orthodontic/restorative practices, and teams in Japan that need to archive large volumes of historical plaster models.

Access from China and Alternatives

Access from China cannot be determined from the source text. Even if the website is reachable, practical adoption by Chinese organizations would be challenging due to the Japanese-language interface, JPY billing, cross-border shipping of plaster models, and medical data compliance requirements. More realistic alternatives for Chinese users include local oral healthcare digitization vendors, cloud platforms bundled with intraoral scanners, dental case/imaging management systems, or private file and imaging management solutions with medical data compliance capabilities.
