Dental Innovation Alliance Doubles Down on Relu with Strategic Investment to Fuel US Expansion

Dental labs across the US are stretched thin. Demand for night guards, crowns, and dental models keeps climbing, but there aren’t enough skilled technicians to keep up. Relu’s AI platform automates much of the design and admin work behind those cases, helping dental labs close that gap. Relu announced a $1.75M strategic investment from Dental Innovation Alliance (DIA), which also backed its seed round. Relu currently handles more than 1 million cases each year from dental laboratories across 82 countries. The financing provided by DIA will further strengthen Relu's position in the US market.

When products become a risk: Ivoclar’s action against counterfeit and gray market goods

Counterfeiting and unsafe trading channels represent a massive market: according to an OECD report from 2025, the global volume reached approximately 467 billion US dollars. The illegal trade in medical devices is also booming—with direct implications for patient safety. Ivoclar is responding with a new program that enables dental professionals to quickly verify product authenticity and thereby actively avoid significant risks. With its new verification program, customers are provided with a simple tool to quickly and reliably check product authenticity. The Ivotion portfolio and the ProArt CAD Try-In discs are the first Ivoclar products to feature this function. A QR code, that also serves as the product seal, is located on the outside of the packaging and can easily be scanned with a smartphone—no app is required. Users are then directed to an Ivoclar webpage where they are asked to enter a PIN that is located beneath the peel-off QR code. After entering the PIN, end customers immediately learn whether the product is genuine and meets the highest safety standards. If anything appears to be incorrect, Ivoclar’s Customer Care is available to assist.
