Straumann and Oral-B join forces to improve the periodontal and peri-implant health of patients worldwide – starting with a pilot symposium

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a pilot collaboration between Straumann and Oral-B, with the purpose of raising the bar on scientific education for peri-implant and periodontal health. The pilot project and launchpad for unveiling the alliance will be a joint symposium during EuroPerio10, with the Biomaterials team in the driver seat from Straumann’s side.

In a watershed moment for continuing education, we happily announce that we are entering a strategic alliance with Oral-B. By offering trusted science, brands, and technologies, the new alliance has the potential to really help dental professionals and their patients achieve successful peri-implant and periodontal health outcomes.

Why the alliance is important for the Straumann^® Biomaterials team                                                          We envision that the alliance could set ambitious new standards in scientific education to elevate the importance of preventing the loss of teeth and implants. In addition, a collaboration with Oral-B would enable us to address our regenerative and preventive portfolio to our partner’s broad audience of dental professionals. Oral-B’s target customers consist mainly of general practitioners, dental hygienists, and young specialists, all being important customer segments for our growth ambitions.

Prevention of tooth or implant loss has been an important topic for us in Straumann for quite a while. As one of the world’s leading dental implant companies, we work closely with experts from the research and clinical fields to address the issues around peri-implantitis and periodontitis. This alliance with Oral-B complements our efforts and offers a solid base for further scientific and educational activities that will enable more dental professionals to improve their patients’ lives.

EuroPerio10: the official launchpad to unveil the alliance                                                                                    Oral-B and Straumann will launch the alliance on the 17th of June 2022 at EuroPerio10 in Copenhagen with a pilot: a Sponsored Scientific Session titled “Limiting periodontal and peri-implant diseases during and beyond the pandemic: from the chair to self-care”. The event is moderated by Dr. Martina Stefanini, with lectures by EFP Past-President Prof. Filippo Graziani and Dr. Giorgio Pagni.

Organized by the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP), EuroPerio is the world’s leading dental professional congress in periodontology and implant dentistry, with both Oral-B and Straumann being key industry partners for EFP.
