June 7, 2024 (ATLANTA) — The Association for Dental Safety (ADS), formerly known as OSAP, is proud to announce that Planmeca KaVo Group is the newest Super Sponsor for 2024.

Planmeca and KaVo are champions of innovation and technology with comprehensive equipment for the entire dental suite, from advanced Imaging and open platform CAD/CAM to premier dental handpieces.

"Becoming a sponsor of ADS aligns with Planmeca and KaVo's values," says Mike Etheridge, Sr. Manager Marketing and Channel, KaVo North America. "The Planmeca Group companies are committed to designing products and systems that improve the quality of health care in a safe treatment environment. From the Planmeca Ultra Low DoseTM imaging protocol of our CBCT units to the intelligent, clean water tracking technology of the Planmeca CompactTM dental units, Planmeca and KaVo prioritize protecting the patient and clinician. Handpiece maintenance and sterilization protocols are at the forefront of the infection control process, and proper education and training through ADS are crucial to achieving compliance."

Planmeca has a long-standing tradition of adhering to ADS's guidance for product design. Upon launching the market-standard Steri-Center, Planmeca set the course for simplifying the sterilization process. Over time, Planmeca continued to elevate design to address biocontainment challenges by employing ADS resources.

Planmeca KaVo Group looks forward to collaborating with ADS through sponsorship to address the next era of better infection control processes and education.
