Trailer: Germen Versteeg

Via a roundabout route, Germen eventually ended up in a plaster room belonging to a friend’s father. No, not because he had broken anything, but to lay the foundation of what he is doing now. Germen shares his vision of the influence of digitization in oral care.

Digitization is now only a small part of the workflow in this sector. While the possibilities in both the short and long term are unprecedented. With his company, Denticien, Germen took his inspiration from the emergence of opticians, and his wife. As a result, he started looking differently at the way in which dental prostheses are made. He therefore works completely digitally and talks about the great benefits that this entails.

Discover how Germen is working with Canadian colleagues on a concept in which ready-to-use prostheses come out of a printer. Or is that going too far? He has a clear answer to that too. Namely, we are going to remove a lot of barriers for people who haven’t been to the dentist for years. It will even become a fashion item.

Germen shares the most important factors that will ensure that 95% will work fully digitally in 5 years’ time and how his concept can contribute to this.

1 on 1 Talk with Nathalie

“Een goede gezondheid begint met een gezonde mond”, zegt Nathalie Beck, Chief Miracle Maker bij blue®m. Maar wie het lichaam als holistisch systeem benadert, gaat onvermijdelijk tegen de Nederlandse tandheelkunde in. Geen wonder dat het verhaal van blue®m. in het buitenland begon. Het bedrijf verkoopt ondertussen producten in zo’n 70 landen, maar die weg liep niet over rozen. Het tegendraadse concept is er een van kijken wat écht nodig is, los van conventies of protocollen. En dat geldt niet alleen voor blue®m, maar ook voor Nathalie zelf.
