Basel, 25 May 2018 – The Straumann Group and Zirkonzahn USA Inc. today announced that
they have signed an agreement to work together in the United States and Canada. The
collaboration will include co-development and co-marketing activities coupled with joint
symposia in the US for dental clinicians and technicians (https://inofficemilling.com). The aim
is to promote seamless digital workflow that seeks to maximize patient satisfaction and
treatment availability for a broader section of the population.

There are more than 34 million Americans who are edentulous in at least on one arch.1 While
more than 50% can afford treatment, the actual treatment rate is still very low – but is growing.

Marco Gadola, CEO Straumann Group stated: “We are delighted to collaborate with
Zirkonzahn in North America to create further growth opportunities in the CADCAM prosthetic
segment, supporting our strategic goal of delivering end-to-end digital solutions for full-arch
tooth replacement.”

Alessandro Cucchiaro, CEO of Zirkonzahn USA, said: “By adding our expertise to the
collaboration, we will provide leading-edge technology to American and Canadian customers,
enabling them to offer the best possible solutions for patients.”
