In September 2024, Dentsply Sirona hosted over 1,500 clinicians from 55 countries at the MIS Global Conference in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. This landmark event emphasized cutting-edge education and innovation, offering attendees a first look at an upcoming MIS dental implant system while fostering a sense of global community among implant dentists.
Building Confidence Through Education and Innovation
Tony Susino, Group Vice President of Global Implant and Prosthetic Solutions at Dentsply Sirona, highlighted the importance of peer-to-peer learning and clinical education at the conference. According to Susino, these initiatives empower clinicians to deliver safe and effective care while fostering confidence in their practice. The conference reinforced MIS’s commitment to research, development, and innovation, showcasing a strong pipeline of products designed to meet the evolving needs of the dental community.
Sneak Peek at the New Implant System
The event offered attendees an exclusive preview of a forthcoming MIS implant system, pending regulatory clearance in the U.S. and other markets. Susino described the implant as a high-quality solution with advanced features in design, surface, connection, and digital connectivity, delivering incremental improvements on previous innovations. Positioned as a value-priced product, the implant is expected to attract a wide spectrum of clinicians, addressing the growing demand for accessible, high-performing solutions.
The Value Segment in Implant Dentistry
Susino noted that for the first time, the value segment of the global implant market has surpassed the premium segment in both volume and revenue. MIS is well-positioned to compete across subcategories of this segment, including value-plus and challenger tiers, offering solutions tailored to diverse clinician needs and market demands.
Advances in Regenerative Products and Tissue Engineering
The conference spotlighted MIS’s regenerative portfolio, featuring OSSIX Agile and Symbios, which address bone regeneration and grafting needs. With ongoing innovation in mitigating peri-implantitis and improving oral health, Dentsply Sirona remains focused on its four pillars of innovation: intra-oral health, interconnectivity, intuitiveness, and immediacy.
Education and Community-Building at MIS
The conference exemplified the importance of clinical education and community-building in advancing implant dentistry. Through events like the MIS Global Conference and DS World gatherings, Dentsply Sirona fosters camaraderie and peer-to-peer learning among clinicians, supporting confidence and excellence in patient care. This sense of community is sustained through study clubs, online learning, and the extensive Dentsply Sirona Academy, which operates 57 educational centers across 35 countries.
Momentum at Dentsply Sirona
The MIS Global Conference was just one highlight in a year of milestones for Dentsply Sirona, including:
- Launching Primescan 2, the first cloud-native intra-oral scanning solution.
- Hosting the inaugural DS World events in the Asia-Pacific and Latin America regions.

These achievements underscore Dentsply Sirona’s momentum in advancing oral health and confidence in care. The company remains dedicated to equipping clinicians with innovative tools, robust education, and a global network of peers to deliver exceptional patient outcomes.
