DENTAL UPDATES W&H provides inspiration for sustainability in dental practices Medical technology company W&H is calling on dental practices to get involved as part of its international campaign, #dentalsunited. The campaign, “#dentalsunited – UNITED we go green”, has the objective of setting out common steps toward environmental protection. The campaign provides a wealth of practical tips encouraging dental practices to think and act green. As Peter Malata, managing director of W&H, said: “Sustainability is not a vision for the future, but rather a necessity for the present.” When it comes to the environment, there are various opportunities for improvement in the medical and dental industry. Singleuse and plastics are often still commonly used in order to comply with the necessary hygiene standards. In addition to this, a lot of material is used for equipment as well as energy. This is where W&H comes in. What specific steps can dentists take in their practice to be a part of the solution? From energy consumption to conserving resources to consistent recycling, firms will find out what industry-specific action is required. FROM RAISING AWARENESS TO GREEN DENTAL PRACTICES Since October, the medical technology company has been providing its online audience with green suggestions and the opportunity to share their ideas once a week. Social media posts and further blog contributions are creating more awareness around the important topic of environmental protection. Sources of problems are identified and solutions provided for more sustainability. W&H also supports the quality seal ‘Die Grüne Praxis’, develops and creates sustainable products, and takes responsibility for the environment at its head office in Bürmoos, Salzburg, Austria, and in the W&H Group with a range of activities. Malata concluded: “As a manufacturer of medical devices, we have always been focused on innovation and advancement. Progress always requires change. With this in mind, we are committed to starting a movement in the medical and dental industry, in which we raise awareness, inspire and support each other along the path to more sustainability.” ■ Grin to expand teledentistry platform with Oral-B Grin, a digital platform that provides oral health solutions with local dentists and orthodontists, has announced a partnership with Oral-B. At CES 2022, the companies unveiled the latest dental technology which creates new industry standards in assisting patients in understanding their oral health. Grin’s remote monitoring and consultation capabilities, combined with Oral-B’s products, will ensure that their customers have access to the latest personalised oral health insights and at-home professional consultations. This means consumers can understand their brushing and flossing habits, select the right Oral-B products, improve behaviours for better smile results, and have more frequent, informed conversations with their local doctor, all in an easy-to-use application. Image: Daniel Frank/Unsplash According to Grin, the Grin experience consists of the Grin App, the Grin Scope, and Grin Scope mini — the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA)-listed medical devices which attach to any smartphone camera and take scans to measure changes to patients’ teeth. Under the supervision of partner doctors, these technologies allow providers to transition patient check-ins from in-office to virtual by remotely monitoring teeth movement, gum health, and oral hygiene. With the burden of office visits reduced, oral health and teeth straightening under the care of a local doctor is more accessible. “I created Grin to transform the entire dental health industry by using technology that connects professionals and patients to bring better oral care directly to everyone,” commented Adam Schulhof, DMD, CEO and co-founder of Grin. “Partnering with one of the most trusted consumer product brands like Oral-B clearly attests to our commitment. “Grin will continue its pledge to drive innovation, and by joining ranks with Oral-B, we will ensure more people can have better oral health.” ■ 18 DENTAL ASIA MARCH / APRIL 2022
