Straumann Group and Zirkonzahn USA sign a cooperation agreement for the United States and Canada

Partnerships and collaborations

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."
