With a view to expanding into the field of prevention, we have obtained rights to distribute a number of innovative treatments for diseases that leadto decay, tooth loss or implant failure. They include digital diagnostics for early caries detection and two non-invasive products that reduce the need for drilling and filling in order to treat caries and to remove the decay it causes. The portfolio also features biomaterials to diagnose, treat or prevent periodontitis/peri-implantitis as well as a toothwhitener that does not use bleach or chemicals.

All these products focus on the needs of general practitioners (GPs) and we have begun to pilot approaches in the UK, Germany, and Italy for selling them through the same channel as our clear aligners, tooth-borne CADCAM prosthetics, digital equipment and other GP products.
