We never stop solving for you. That is the leading promise from Solventum, formerly 3M Health Care, who set about making waves in the oral healthcare industry in early 2024.
By bringing together ideas and experiences from a multitude of different clinical backgrounds, Solventum is able to craft new solutions to the issues that dental professionals face every day. Alongside this, Solventum partners with oral care providers to ensure each move to improve patient outcomes and transform practices is grounded in real world experiences. This makes certain that every new idea can truly add something to your workflow with immediate effect.
This also fosters discussions about existing solutions, including the award-winning[i] products that are embedded throughout the Solventum offering. By having conversations with oral care professionals of all backgrounds, experiences and patient bases, Solventum can make the most relevant changes – no matter how minute – that allow clinicians to deliver more predictable workflows, and send patients home with brighter and bigger smiles.
Optimise education
Solventum shares the passion exuded by dental professionals for success and predictability, and have committed themselves to not only delivering industry-leading materials and technologies, but also easy-to-access education and customer support. This helps to better inform the abilities of all practitioners, no matter their focused area of care.
Courses that are delivered by Solventum are presided over by trusted, world-class professionals. The featured educational materials are not just focused on clinical solutions. Dentists and their teams can even discover insights into aspects such as treatment presentation, to better reach patients when advising them on the solutions available to them.
Find your workflow
Dental professionals can explore Solventum’s suite of dental solutions online, and be sure to find items that advance their oral care – no matter what field of dentistry they occupy, or the patients that come through their door.
For the indirect restorative workflow, it’s important to reduce complexity and maximise reliability and accuracy. The result is successful lasting treatments. Solventum understand these aims, and helps to offer predictability, every step of the way. This way, dental professionals can get it right first time – every time – with trusted solutions that can help you prevent costly rework and keep patients smiling.
For the truly universal adhesive, the RelyX Universal Resin Cement from Solventum works as both a standalone, self-adhesive cement and as an adhesive cement when combined with Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive from Solventum. As a pairing, they were titled the Top Long-term Performer: Cement System at the Dental Advisor Awards 2024, taking gold as a total of 636 restorations were recalled without a single debond in either self-adhesive or adhesive modes.[ii]
On its own, the RelyX Universal Resin Cement is a formidable tool in the dental professional’s arsenal. A game-changing syringe ensures each application can be simple, with dispensing, cleaning and storage all optimised. The system’s unique chemistry also ensures excess outflow remains at the restoration margins for easy removal after tack curing. This makes the process simple for the clinician, and can put patients at ease.
Less time. Less mess. Less waste. Less Stress. That is the aim when you use the RelyX Universal Resin Cement.
Keep it simple
Simplicity is at the heart of a wide range of Solventum products, including the Filtek Supreme Flowable Restorative. It is a flowable composite that routinely delivers success, with 12 available shades helping to smooth the transition between restoration and tooth. The syringe is, once again, designed for optimal material placement, virtually eliminating bubbles and material “run-on”.
If clinicians want a workflow that allows for optimal aesthetics, the Filtek Easy Match Universal Restorative is the system of choice. It is designed to streamline single-shade restorations from the start, whilst providing the flexibility necessary to match most patients.
The Natural shade can aid a majority of cases, and the complementary Bright and Warm shades help to fill-in the gaps on either end of the range. Whether working in the anterior or posterior, clinicians can intuitively select their solution and deliver a restoration that features the same exceptional performance and handling as is expected from all Filtek Dental Restoratives.
Solventum is proud to be opening up the conversations between all dental professionals that help to provide patients with more successful treatments. With an array of simple-to-use but impressively effective options on-hand, clinicians can be confident that they can help patients achieve their dream smile. This reduces the need to refer out of practice, keeping individuals comfortable and trusting in their oral care provider.
