Dentaid celebrates 45 years of oral health innovation

According to Joan Gispert, manager of research and development at the Dentaid Research Center, “the Dentaid Research Center focuses on understanding the difference between health and disease from the perspective of changes in tissue histology and physiology, as well as the structure, formation, and resistance of oral biofilm and its relationship to various oral and systemic diseases.”

Each year, the Dentaid Research Center presents studies in collaboration with universities, research centres and scientific societies, helping to deepen understanding of oral health. A recent multinational study conducted with universities in six countries, for example, reported on the importance of considering the geographic origin of a sample to obtain more accurate information about a patients’ subgingival microbiota.

In terms of figures, the Dentaid Research Center has more than 5,000 formulas, collaborates with 25 universities worldwide and has a team of more than 50 professionals specialising in biology, galenics, engineering and medicine.

Manel Vera, CEO of Dentaid, stated: “We firmly believe that only through science can we create solutions that truly make a difference and ensure efficacy, quality and safety for both professionals and patients. Our commitment to research, innovation and collaboration with experts has been part of Dentaid’s identity since the very beginning. It’s what sets us apart and what has set us apart for the past 45 years and will continue to do so in the future.”

Promoting and improving oral health

Global figures underline the scale of the oral disease burden. World Health Organization data indicate that oral diseases affect more than 3.7 billion people worldwide and that untreated dental caries in permanent teeth remains the most common health condition. Gingivitis and periodontitis also remain highly prevalent across populations.

In this context, Dentaid has taken an active role in raising awareness of oral health and leading prevention-focused campaigns. Among these, the 2025 Oral Health Throughout Life campaign stands out. This international initiative, launched in collaboration with the European Federation of Periodontology, aims to raise awareness of oral health at every stage of life. Through this campaign, Dentaid reaffirms its commitment to sharing scientific knowledge and promoting health education.

The company not only seeks to improve people’s oral health through its solutions but also invests in training for professionals and embraces its role as an active agent of awareness and change, committed to contributing to a more informed, health-conscious society.

Looking ahead, Dentaid will continue to drive applied science in oral health through the Dentaid Research Center, strengthening its collaboration with professionals and reinforcing its commitment to promoting and improving people’s oral health throughout their lives.
