This March, the International Dental Show in Cologne will once again play host to the dental industry’s key players as they showcase new products, forward-thinking technologies and innovative concepts for dental practices and laboratories. W&H is now giving a sneak preview of its trade fair highlights and product innovations. In the spirit of the W&H trade fair slogan ‘From innovative products to sustainable solutions’, W&H’s appearance at the trade fair will focus on its sustainable product and service solutions.

Improved usability, even more practical relevance, and further scientific information by a click: With the new W&H AIMS workflow for the correct reprocessing of instruments, W&H offers a valuable online help for professional hygiene management in dental practices.

The medical technology company W&H has always placed a special emphasis on training and development opportunities for its employees. The W&H competence academy provides individual support for key employees for a year and assigns them mentors who guide them personally. The training program was successfully completed at the end of 2022 by 14 talented W&H colleagues.

Bigger than ever before and with plenty of innovative products to discover – W&H will be taking part in the International Dental Show (IDS) in 2023. True to the slogan ‘From innovative products to sustainable solutions’, the company is presenting forward-thinking and sustainable technologies for the dental industry.

W&H is one of the pioneers in the field of medical technology. Continuous investments, state-of-the-art developments, and progressive thinking – W&H is leading the way. In big steps, as the medica technology company's latest project shows once again. In cooperation with the Austrian e-sports experts Morekats, W&H is now taking off in a whole new direction: the Rocket League.

The medical technology company W&H is pushing ahead with its environmental management in all projects with full vigour to achieve the company’s ecological and sustainable goals. This dedication has now been recognised by the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation, and Technology (BMK) with the Environmental Management Award in the category "Best Measure – Environmental and Climate Protection".

The medical technology company W&H has completed the most extensive construction project in its 130-year history. One of the region’s largest production and development centres has been emerged.

With the new Lara XL, W&H is launching a sterilizer that further complements the already high-performing and popular sterilizer models. More features, more innovation, more capacity – Lara XL will exceed all your expectations.

The new Assistina One improves all the technological advances of the popular predecessor model and takes these to a whole new level. The easy-to-use new care solution, which is the fastest in its class, provides even more power and user-friendliness.

With a global network spanning 130 countries around the world, continuous training and specialist exchange play a crucial role in the development and professional application of W&H medical devices. Regular courses and conventions familiarize partners and clients with technical innovations and new products. To this end, a W&H Innovation Day was recently held in Ho Chi Minh City with high-profile speakers commenting on the subject of infection control and introducing the latest topics to the audience.

Efficient, successful, popular – the Synea Fusion contra-angle handpieces are the best-selling contra-angle handpieces in the world from W&H and, in their class, combine outstanding quality and a long service life with low acquisition costs. The recently launched ‘Spot on’ campaign is now literally shining the spotlight on the popular medical devices.

The ongoing e-sports hype does not stop at industrial enterprises, as the medical device manufacturer W&H Dentalwerk proves. The Bürmoos-based company decided to cooperate with the e-sports organisation Morekats. Together, they want to promote the professional gaming scene in Austria and make it more visible.

W&H is permanently on the forefront with regard to quality, innovation, and usability of its products. Proper and professional care plays an extremely important role in the longevity and value retention of precision transmission instruments. For 30 years now, W&H’s maintenance system Assistina 301 has been providing excellent service in the upkeep of dental handpieces.

Over the past few months, we have gathered many ideas and tips for dentists to get actively involved in the global sustainability movement. The collective goal: save our planet for ourselves and many generations to come. As a manufacturer of dental products, we are with you and will continue our efforts as well. Here is a list summarising what you can do within your dental clinic to become part of the change.

At EuroPerio9, W&H unveiled the “No Implantology without Periodontology” (NIWOP) treatment workflow. With this workflow, W&H highlights the importance of a healthy periodontal condition prior to implantation. In this interview, Bernhard Eder, W&H Product Manager of Prophylaxis and Periodontology, discusses why W&H is setting standards in periodontology and which advantages users may expect.

How do we stay motivated to become more sustainable? After all, it involves changing many habits and putting in additional effort as we move towards our goal. The new changes and practices we implement need to be sustainable in themselves, so we can continue them from here on out. This is how we can all do it together.

Reading about general ideas and tips for more sustainable habits is all well and good, but are you wondering if they are even applicable to your everyday work at your dental practice? Get inspired by fellow dentist teams to become active in your sustainability journey now. While zero-waste dentistry might not be achievable due to sanitary requirements, less-waste dentistry for sure is. After all, every step counts!

Sophisticated technology is at the core of W&H’s research and plays a decisive role in improving the quality of patient treatment. One of the most impactful developments in W&H’s portfolio is the ScratchBlocker coating. It was specifically devised with durability, aesthetics, and sustainability in mind and takes dental handpieces to a new level.

Well-organised management of materials and energy-efficient devices not only saves costs, but also creates smoother workflows. When you are more aware of the resources you have, the environment benefits first and foremost.

It might seem obvious in theory, but often people still hesitate when it comes down to investing in high-end products. Whether at home or in the workplace – the price is always the top deciding factor when shopping. While it is important to consider your budget, cheaper products may not be as cost-effective in the long run, since they often need to be replaced sooner due to their inferior quality.

W&H reached a milestone in its sterilizer production last October, when #100,000 left the factory in Brusaporto, Italy. For this special occasion, a sterilizer of your choice was raffled off via the W&H Instagram channel. Just recently, the prize was handed over to the lucky winner directly at the production facility of W&H Sterilization.

Medical technology company W&H is calling on dental practices to get involved as part of its international campaign #dentalsunited.

W&H water treatment units - Multidem, Osmo and Water Distiller - supply pure water for the sterilisation process. With this method, our devices ensure consistent performance and extend the life of your instruments and sterilizers.

Less is more, but in this case: less waste is more sustainable. If we become aware of what we throw away and do so more mindfully, we will do our planet a big favour. Find out how you can get started and maintain the initiative.

During the summer of 2021, the Dental Punk podcast and Quintessence Publishing were on the lookout for dental clinics in Germany and Austria that were positive examples of becoming more “green”.
