In 2021, Dentsply Sirona entered into a five-year renewable partnership with Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft organisation. The partnership is driven by the shared ambition to further the provision of safe, high quality, and expert cleft care from diagnosis through to comprehensive care delivery — using the most advanced dental technology resources to serve the complete patient care continuum. To support our partnership, we have announced a $5 million donation to Smile Train. It further includes:
“We are pleased to welcome Dentsply Sirona on board as a corporate partner. This five-year partnership comes at a pivotal moment for Smile Train and will help advance the future of cleft care by supporting global treatment standards and best practices for digitalised cleft orthodontics. We are grateful for Dentsply Sirona’s generous support and look forward to working together to raise awareness about and deepen our impact around cleft.”
By donating one of our most advanced products to a Smile Train treatment centre in Bogotá, we eliminate a life-threatening risk for the patients and reduce the treatment path – which for a child with cleft, lasts for what may seem forever.
Babies born with clefts are more likely to suffer cavities, tooth decay, and have extra or missing teeth, among many other urgent dental issues and early dental care is important to prevent pain. Using Primescan to take an intraoral scan as the first step of the treatment makes it more comfortable for babies and prevents the use of gooey impression material. In addition, dentists can easily create individual digital treatment plans and families save trips to the treatment facility.
