Endodontics partnership - cooperation between Sirona, Dentsply and VDW

The companies Sirona Dental Systems, Dentsply Maillefer and VDW have signed an agreement specifying cooperation for the integration of endodontic instruments in treatment centers. As a first product of this cooperation, with WAVEONE® and RECIPROC®, leading reciprocating file systems are available in the TENEO treatment center for the very first time and thus serve to decisively expand endodontic functionality in terms of workflow.

"We are delighted to have entered a partnership with both Dentsply Maillefer and VDW, who boast extensive expertise in the field of endodontics," explained Michael Geil, Vice President of Treatment Centers at Sirona. "The integration of the reciprocating function in the treatment center aids the work of dentists and helps to make the workflow for endodontic treatments even more efficient."

Didier Devaud Marketing Director from Dentsply Maillefer added, “We are pleased to enable more dentists worldwide to access our unique reciprocating technology offering unsurpassed simplicity and safety, with seamless integration into the most innovative treatment center of Sirona”.

VDW's Marketing Director Pamela Marklew stated “We aim to simplify demanding endodontic treatments significantly and at the same time make them even safer. RECIPROC® is a perfect example of this and the integration of functions in treatment centers is a step which supports our goal."

Treatment centers can be retrofitted

This cooperation is beneficial for dentists who either want to purchase the TENEO treatment center in the future or those who already work with TENEO. Why? Because the center can be retrofitted. Regardless of whether the functional package is already integrated for endodontics or implantology, an endo package for reciprocating preparation can be easily added. The benefits of this procedure are mainly its efficacy and reliability: Treatment is efficient, safe and carries significantly less risk of file breakage. What's more, absolute hygiene safety is guaranteed. The new endo package can be ordered now.
