Ivoclar and MALO CLINIC establish a strategic partnership for innovative dental treatment concepts
Two leading names in the dental industry are joining forces to redefine research, development, and education in modern dentistry – combining scientific excellence with practical treatment expertise, where science meets practice.
The Ivoclar Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of integrated solutions for high-quality dental applications with an extensive product and systems portfolio for dentists, dental technicians and preventive care teams and the renowned MALO CLINIC, recognized for its science-based treatment concepts and as the pioneer of the All-on-4® technique, established a comprehensive strategic partnership for innovative dental treatment concepts.
The two leading names in the dental industry are joining forces to redefine research, development and education in modern dentistry. The goal is to create comprehensive solutions for more efficient, esthetic and patient-centred dental care by combining scientific excellence with practical treatment expertise.
New momentum for dental research, development and education
The intensive cooperation marks the next step in the already established collaborative relationship between the two companies and combines two core strengths: the long-standing experience in the development of innovative dental materials and systematic workflows of Ivoclar with the clinical and scientific expertise of MALO CLINIC, a global pioneer in dentistry with leading research and training centres.
“The cooperation with MALO CLINIC brings together product development, research and training from the outset – with the goal of creating innovative and practical solutions that sustainably improve everyday clinical practice for our customers,” explains Markus Heinz, CEO at Ivoclar.
Synergies for innovative implant restoration workflows
The partnership encompasses joint research and development projects, clinical studies as well as the development and implementation of collaborative training and education programs. Existing programs will be expanded and enhanced with new concepts focused on All-on-4® and thus implant-supported restorations. Initial joint studies on durable esthetic implant solutions using IPS e.max zirconium oxide are already in the planning stages.
Pedro Alvarez, CEO at MALO CLINIC, emphasizes: “We are honoured to enter into this strategic partnership with Ivoclar. Together, we share the commitment to translating scientifically based innovations into daily practice. Our close collaboration in research and education will set new standards for quality and patient care.”
Both partners are united by a shared purpose – “Making People Smile” at Ivoclar and “From Science to Smiles” at MALO CLINIC. The collaboration is based on the view that the best results emerge from combining scientific excellence, practice-oriented product development and a deep understanding of the needs of practitioners and, most importantly, patients. This alliance creates a powerful network of clinical expertise and technical innovation – for a new generation of dental solutions.
