DENTSPLY Implants was introduced to the dental market three years ago and has rapidly established its own sales organizations all around the world. DENTSPLY Implants has a direct global sales organization with 25 market units and cooperation with exclusive distributors in more than 40 countries all over the world. Close to 95 percent of the current sales are within DENTSPLY Implants' own sales organizations.
An important component in the global expansion was the last year's opening of DENTSPLY Implants in China, a market where ANKYLOS and XiVE implant lines have been present and successful since 1998. The Chinese dental market is growing rapidly, especially the surge of high-end businesses such as dental implants.
"It is really exciting to be part of the development and the growth in this dynamic region. The launch in China has been very successful so far. At the time of the opening we also introduced the ASTRA TECH Implant System to the Chinese market and we have a comprehensive clinical research program at fifteen study centers in China," says Lars Henrikson, Group President DENTSPLY Implants.
Parallel to the introduction in markets all over the world, DENTSPLY Implants has continued its dedication to science and clinical research. The origin of DENTSPLY Implants is based on a solid foundation of over 40 years of expertise, knowledge and experience in all relevant fields and technologies of implant dentistry. DENTSPLY Implants' products and solutions are well documented with reliable clinical results. Documentation is an integrated and essential part of the product development process.
"Our commitment to research and scientifically proven solutions is stronger than ever and DENTSPLY Implants products are supported by more than 1,650 scientific publications. At the moment, we have 200 ongoing studies, currently involving more than 450 clinicians. We are very excited and proud about the new 5-year data on OsseoSpeed implants that shows maintained bone levels from implant placement, confirming an average of only 0.3 mm bone reduction," says AnnaKarin Lundgren, Director Global Scientific Affairs at DENTSPLY Implants.
Another cornerstone of DENTSPLY Implants is the dedication to innovation. Since the introduction, DENTSPLY Implants has continued to launch leading digital solutions by further improving the digital workflow for implant treatment with the highest function and esthetics meeting the demands of dental professionals.
"Our continued success is dependent on how customers and patients experience our products and our service. Our focus is to deliver safe, well-documented solutions and the best service to our customers. An example of this customer focus is the ASTRA TECH Implant System EV, which was developed in close cooperation with our customers. In fact, this launch has been one of the most successful launches in DENTSPLY Implants' history," says Lars Henrikson.
