As Artificial Intelligence makes its way into almost every facet of life, it makes sense that our oral health routine gets a smart upgrade too. Today, at Mobile World Congress Barcelona, Oral-B® the #1 Dentist Recommended Brand Worldwide and leader in oscillating-rotating electric toothbrushes, announces its latest technological innovation: Oral-B iO™ 10 with iOSense™.

The new iO10 with iOSense, the latest addition to the revolutionary iO range, is set to revolutionise the way we brush our teeth with a personalised experience like never before.

It is accompanied by a smart device called iOSense, which offers real-time guidance with the aid of AI and a personalized brushing experience that ensures healthier gums and teeth.

Benjamin Binot, P&G Europe Oral Care Senior Vice President says; “The innovation represents a new era of brushing that is more than just an electric toothbrush – it’s a fusion of ground-breaking technology, desirable design and amazing performance. iO 10 with iOSense is our latest commitment to building a digital health ecosystem that leads with advanced technologies, accessible solutions and more effective educational tools to improve oral care and health for all.”

“Our clinical tests show that Oral-B® iO delivers a deeper clean of teeth and gums versus a manual toothbrush, but now with iOSense, the personalized brushing experience will revolutionize our entire relationship with our oral health,” says Maike Siemons, Europe R&D Oral Care leader.

Artificially Intelligent:

The NEW iOSense device is powered by artificial intelligence to intuitively guide your brushing and provide a personalized brushing experience like no other. It guides you…

• When to brush: the iOSense has a timer for optimal brushing time and a Wi-Fi clock

• Where to brush: the intuitive iOSense lights mean you’ll never miss a spot

• How to brush: the Oral-B® App tracks your goals and provides personalizes feedback after every brushing

The iOSense is also a magnetic charger that charges your brush in about 3 hours. For users on-the-go, it comes with the Power2Go charging travel case, meaning you can charge at your leisure.

Smart Performance:

Oral-B® iO’s revolutionary micro-vibration technology removes 100% more plaque than a manual brush to give you that professional clean feeling, at home, improving your oral health and contributing to better overall body health​. However, it’s not only about what the iO can do, it’s also about how it makes you feel. Using iO10 is a truly sensorial experience that will transform the act of brushing into something you have to do into something you want to do.

In clinical tests, Oral-B® iO provided a deeper clean of teeth and gums, allowing users to maintain oral health easily and effectively. Versus manual toothbrushes, Oral-B iO users experienced:

• Six times more plaque removal along the gumline

• 100% healthier gums in one week

• Whiter teeth in one week thanks to revolutionary iO™ technology

In a 6-month clinical study:

• 96% of patients using Oral-B® iO moved from non-healthy to healthy gums meaning the longer you use iO, the better off you are.

• By using Oral-B® iO, users have 14.5x higher odds of moving from non-healthy gums to healthy gums compared to a regular manual toothbrush.

• Oral-B® iO removes 62% more plaque than Sonicare DiamondClean SMART along the gumline and 26% more plaque in hard-to-reach areas.

The Oral-B® iO 10 Design:

• Comes in two new galactic-inspired brush designs, cosmic black and stardust white.

• The interactive Colour Display enables easy navigation through the brush features including welcome greetings, language settings and selection of cleaning modes, including sensitive, deep clean and whitening.

• The Smart Pressure Sensor guides users to apply optimal cleaning pressure. The sensor warns of overpressure with a red light and indicates in green when users are applying the optimal cleaning pressure, maximising the effectiveness of Oral-B® iO’s iconic round brush head, inspired by dentist tools.

• The Oral-B® app provides personalized feedback after every brushing session. It enables easy navigation through the brush features and allows a simple set-up of the brushing system. It also allows you to customize your brushing experience within the app, by setting up personal goals to meet your individual needs.

• The Oral-B® app also provides 3D graphics and the AI Brushing technology recognizes all areas within the mouth, guiding users toward 100% brushing area completion.

• The Visual Timer provides personalized guidance for users to reach their best clean yet. The timer tracks each brushing sessions duration, so users know when they have brushed for the dentist-recommended two minutes. Smiley icons on the display let users know if they have achieved their goal.

Democratizing Oral-B® iO: Introducing Oral-B iO4 and iO5

At MWC 2022 Oral-B® is also launching iO™ Series 4 and 5, affordable alternatives that still have the innovative iO™ technology, meaning a superior brushing experience is available for all, whatever your budget.

• Comes in a range of new colours: Quite White, Matt Black and Blush Pink or Lavender

• Powered by artificial intelligence

• Has an intuitive smart pressure sensor that coaches you in real-time

• Dentist-inspired round brush head with unique micro-vibrating bristles

• Comes with smart modes so you can personalise your clean

Healthy Habits for People and the Planet

This year at MWC 2022, Oral-B will highlight its commitment to powering the smallest daily habits, such as using an electric toothbrush, to create a positive impact on the health of your whole body, whole family and the whole planet. Healthy habits for the environment mean a world where everyone respects our planet and its natural resources by:

• Turning off the tap when brushing your teeth

• Recycling packaging and products

• Unplugging the toothbrush charger when not in use

New intelligent hybrid milling unit simplifies everyday laboratory work

Amann Girrbach launches the Ceramill Motion 3, an intelligent hybrid machine which makes fabricating dentures even more convenient and, in particular, more digital. At the same time, users benefit from a wide variety of materials and indications and the accustomed high Amann Girrbach fabrication quality.

The Ceramill Motion 3 is designed for wet and dry operation. The 5-axis milling machine operates completely autonomously and can therefore manufacture unsupervised both during the night or also on weekends when connected to the AG-Live platform. Users have the possibility of access-ing the intelligent hybrid machine remotely, to receive orders safely and quickly, as well as to monitor everything related to production and customer service. And above all, the integrated analysis functions allow workflows in the laboratory to be analyzed and optimized on an ongoing basis.

Guided CAD/CAM production and maintenance, an intuitive HMI, as well as integrated RFID tools and

holders ensure process reliability and facilitate the handling of tools and consumables. Innovative sculpturing technologies (C-Clamp) allow even the finest fissures to be milled into the front surface of the restoration with the Ceramill Motion 3. "With the Ceramill Motion 3, we have developed an intelligent milling unit that meets the high quality demands of our customers. It makes their work easier through digital features and allows for optimal use of resources. The machine thus meets the needs of both the dental technician as well as the laboratory manager and marks a milestone in the digitization of dentures," says a delighted Nikolaus Johannson, Head of the Global Busi-ness Unit Lab CAD/CAM at Amann Girrbach.

On March 4, Dentsply Sirona, a pioneer in digital dentistry, will share details about the Company’s exciting collaboration with Google Cloud and a separate new 3D printing solution, Primeprint, in a virtual global event. Dental professionals, technicians and partners are invited to participate in this important start to the next chapter of digitalization in dentistry.

Dentsply Sirona will introduce a series of innovations designed to significantly enhance digital workflows with benefits for dentists, dental labs and patients globally. A special highlight of this event will be interviews with Google’s SVP Engineering Urs Hoelzle and Dentsply Sirona CEO Don Casey, who will be announcing a new collaboration between the two technology companies.

“Dentsply Sirona has always been a pioneer in digital dentistry. Whether it was virtually inventing dental imaging, creating intraoral scanning or creating single visit dentistry, Dentsply Sirona has led the way. Starting with the announcements today, Dentsply Sirona will again look to transform dentistry with new devices and AI-supported solutions and services. Today, we embark into a new digital universe created by Dentsply Sirona and powered by Google Cloud. We are announcing the first steps in this transformation and the launch of Dentsply Sirona Primeprint,” Casey explained. “Together with Google Cloud, we will make it easier for dentists to evolve their digital practice or make the first move into digital dentistry. Additionally, with Primeprint, we are building upon our integrated end-to-end workflow offerings for dental practices and labs.”

Dentsply Sirona’s digital solutions powered by Google Cloud

The collaboration with Google Cloud will help dentists and dental labs alike to unlock the full benefits of digital dentistry – whether they are continuing or just starting on their digital journey.

The new digital dentistry solutions will be based on six key principles:

• Enabling high-value dental care by offering excellent digital products and solutions;

• Next-generation digital workflows featuring secure and seamless sharing of data with labs and other dental practitioners;

• Easy access to data when it is needed;

• High-quality 3D visualization of dental imagery;

• Stringent data protection and security standards; and

• An innovative environment for software, data integrity and storage.

Christian Martin, Managing Director Alps Region at Google Cloud, said about this collaboration: “Dentsply Sirona is transforming the dental industry. At Google Cloud we believe that we have the right expertise, capabilities and services to strongly support Dentsply Sirona in its vision for the future of oral healthcare.”

Casey added: “This exciting collaboration will allow us to deliver on our promise: empowering millions of customers by proudly creating innovative solutions for healthy smiles. We will succeed in this by giving dentists an innovative platform to underpin the digital infrastructure of their practice and enabling a seamless workflow that helps dentists to focus on what matters most: treating their patients.”

Together, both companies will build upon a digital approach that gives dentists and labs the ownership, impact and independence that digital solutions from Dentsply Sirona can deliver.

Primeprint - an advance in automated, medical-grade 3D printing for practices and labs

Separate from the collaboration with Google Cloud, Dentsply Sirona will also launch Primeprint, a medical-grade 3D printing system for dental practices and dental labs.

With one of the highest levels of automation, Primeprint is a smart hardware and software solution that is optimized for dental applications. It runs the entire printing process, including post processing. Primeprint delivers reproducible and accurate results* with strictly biocompatible materials. The printing process meets high regulatory requirements for medical products.

"For us dentists, Primeprint turns 3D printing into an efficient application for everyday use, and that’s also great for my patients," said Dr. Mike Skramstad, dentist from Orono, Minnesota. "The workflow is fully automated, easy to use, as well as end-to-end, so I can both delegate and get the best possible results quickly.”

Benco Dental's latest white paper outlines five compelling reasons why smaller operatories make more sense in today's oral healthcare environment—and how to actually implement them.

Benco Dental, the nation's largest independent distributor of oral healthcare technology and supplies, announces the release of a new white paper: "Smaller Is Smarter: A Comprehensive Business and Clinical Case for Rethinking Dental Operatory Design."

For years, practice owners and their team members have been challenged by shrinking insurance reimbursements, pressure to work more efficiently, and punishing physical stress. These have only been compounded by the pandemic, which piled on new and greater staffing, scheduling, patient satisfaction and infection control issues.

But rethinking operatory size through smarter design can effectively address all of those issues, while also better positioning practices for improved earnings and a more relaxed working environment.

The new white paper, authored by company leaders from Benco Practice Design, provides actionable steps based around their thought leadership on:

• How practices can increase income by 17%, or $250,000, without increasing their operatory footprints;

• Why six smaller operatories cost about the same as five conventional rooms...but deliver more ROI;

• Where smaller operatories actually reduce physical stress and potential for fatigue or injury;

• When smaller operatories translate directly to better service for new and existing patients;

• Ways conventional operatories stunt practice growth. Also, why the top 10% of practices have realized 18% growth by seeing more patients while the bottom 10% experienced a 12% drop caused by bottlenecks.

Not only does the white paper delve into these problems, it proposes concrete solutions—supported by experts as well as actual sample design plans—that can be implemented in new construction or by retrofitting existing practices. It is available at no charge in Benco U, our online learning center: benco.com/benco-dental-u/white-paper/smaller-is-smarter/

Benco Dental's design thought leadership stems from decades of experience. The company was first among all dental distributors, way back in the 1970s, to provide customers with comprehensive space planning based upon then-best practices. Today, Benco Dental's Practice Design team has built on that legacy, delivering solutions for clients across the country. Their collective expertise is concentrated in actual physical locations doctors can visit in person or virtually: Benco Dental's collaborative design centers in California, Texas and Pennsylvania.

"For new construction, smaller operatories are a no brainer," said Melissa Sprau, the company's Director of Design, who applies her experience in hospital design to dental environments. "Smart design means you won't miss the slight reduction in square footage per operatory, but you'll yield six ops for about the same investment as five...and the added income that goes with it."

Chuck Cohen, Benco Dental Managing Director, has visited practices nationwide where smaller operatories would be the ideal solution for combatting stress and reversing lack of growth. "Doctors are sacrificing millions of dollars in lifetime income by foregoing a relatively small one-time investment in right-sized operatories," he said.

Image Caption: Smaller operatories (top row) are proportioned to accommodate less cabinetry, putting all of the most commonly used necessities within easy reach of doctors and assistants. Therefore, no assistant side is necessary, and significant cost savings are realized through the elimination of redundant storage space.
