We make your research happen

As a premium company in the dental implant industry, we are committed to extensive and sound research and documentation of product performance, efficacy and safety.

An important part of our clinical research program is the Investigator Initiated Studies, IIS, in which Dentsply Sirona Implants supports external research projects. As part of the program, a large number of projects have been initiated and conducted by clinicians from different countries all over the world to investigate a variety of products and indications.

Each year a large number of applications are submitted to us and approximately 40% are approved for support. Currently more than 170 supported Investigator Initiated Studies are ongoing involving more than 300 investigators in over 20 countries. Will your project be the next to qualify?

If you have a proposal for a research project for which you would like to apply for support, please feel free to contact us.

Available research support from Dentsply Sirona Implants is products and/or financial support up to a maximum of 49% of your total study cost. Your proposal will of course be treated with confidentiality.

Our Global IIS Review Committee reviews all submitted proposals maintaining confidentiality and determining its interest in the expected outcome and that no medical, scientific or ethical concern exists.

The study proposal should include the information detailed in the Study proposal form that you can download below. Since this type of project is sponsored and owned by the investigator, we support maximum 49% of the total study cost. Please note that off-label use of our products is not approved within the IIS program.
