Oral-B and Straumann announce scientific education alliance

Oral-B and Straumann has announced a new alliance to improve prevention in periodontal and peri-implant health.

According to Straumann’s press release, the alliance will set new standards in scientific education for dental professionals and help their patients achieve better long-term outcomes.

The alliance aims to present a host of holistic programmes, including scientific events, professional courses, webinars and publications.

To be launched on 17 June 2022 at EuroPerio10 Copenhagen, both companies will also present their recent innovations for periodontal and peri-implant patients.

They include: Straumann Biomaterials solutions – ranging from enhanced wound healing and bone regeneration to soft-tissue management and wound care; and Oral-B iO Specialized Clean brush head, Oral-B iO10 and iOsense.

“As patients around the world invest in dental implants, they need to recognise that self-care around implants is just as important as around their natural teeth,” said J. Leslie Winston, vice president, Global Health Care R&D, Procter & Gamble.

“The Oral-B Straumann Alliance will play an important role in enabling ongoing dialogue between dental professionals and their patients so both understand the most up to date science on prevention of implant-related diseases and promotion of periodontal health,”

 “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 caused by peri-implantitis and periodontitis,” said Arik Zucker, vice-president, Global Head of Biomaterials, Straumann Group.

“The Alliance with Oral-B complements our efforts and offers a solid ground for further scientific and educational activities that will enable more dental professionals to improve their patients’ lives.”
