DENTSPLY International began the trend with the acquisition of Astra Tech. Astra Tech was then combined with DENTSPLY’s existing implant division and rebranded as DENTSPLY Implants. Zimmer now intends to acquire Biomet, which will result in the possibility of combining two dental portfolios. Competition in the dental implant industry will be driven by key players powered by recent acquisitions.
The four largest players in the dental implant industry, according to the report, will be:
• Straumann
• Nobel Biocare
• DENTSPLY Implants
• Zimmer/Biomet
