The alliance partner operates more than 1,000 dental labs and has more than 60,000 dentists as clients.
DIO, through this strategic alliance, is pursuing joint marketing and sales, and long-term contract for DIOnavi. services with focus on large hospitals with large number of implant surgeries performed in the USA on the basis of the dental clinic network and data base of the partner company.

DIO officially launched ‘UV Activator2’ in July, a next-generation surface processing system through integration of innovative technology that the world has not experienced before.

‘UV IMPLANT SYSTEM’ is being recognized as the next-generation surface processing method with all the advantages of the SLA surface processing method evaluated as the most stable titanium surface processing method thus far and acquisition of hydrophilicity of the titanium surface, which is advantageous in synostosis, at the same time.

Although the existing UV Activator1 is fully recognized with its globally leading technology of surface treatment in 20 minutes, DIO managed to successfully develop UV Activator2 with UV irradiation time of 20 seconds to offer phenomenal experience that transcends innovation by agonizing and pondering over the means of providing more useful system to the users.
This resulted in the evaluation that this has opened the era of UV surface processing system by overcoming the limitations in its chair-side utilization.

In addition, the company generated ‘UV implant syndrome’ by holding a nationwide tour, ‘UV IMPLANT SEMINAR’.

In particular, large number of clinical cases that even amazed the lecturers who prepared lectures on the innovation of the ‘UV IMPLANT SYSTEM’, which enables remarkable osseointegration in the early stage of the implant surgery, were introduced.
On the foundation of firm theoretical background and evidences, as well as the clinical cases of direct application in dental clinics, it was demonstrated that osseointegration occurs faster and stronger on the UV irradiated implant surface in comparison to the ordinary SLA implant surface, thereby impressing all the participants of the seminars with its excellence in clinical application along with resolution of the theoretical curiosities of the participants.
