Straumann SmileAward 2022
Straumann invites dentists everywhere—anyone who gives back smiles—to showcase their most inspiring patient stories by participating in the 2022 SmileAward.
Every day, around the globe, we know dental professionals rely on Straumann to give patients the confidence to smile again, to laugh, to show off their smiles, to eat the foods they love. Thousands of dental professionals use our products and solutions to rebuild the quality of life for patients and to unlock the potential of people’s lives.
While Immediacy Protocols stood in the focus of the SmileAward 2021, the SmileAward 2022, we welcomed dental professionals to show us how THEY are changing the lives of their patients through full-arch rehabilitation or clear aligner therapy. They are invited to submit their best patient stories and share with the world the many ways that dentistry can restore confidence and improve our wellbeing.
The 2022 SmileAward aspires to be the most inspiring, most uplifting clinical case competition.
What’s new for 2022?
Our 2021 inaugural contest attracted 93 participants from 30 countries who changed their patients’ lives with immediate protocols. The 2022 SmileAward will encompass another prize-awarding winner in not just one, but two categories:
- Straumann category for full-arch (edentulous) patient stories
- ClearCorrect category for clear-aligner orthodontic patient stories
Submission requirements
The required documentation includes all relevant diagnostics and step-by-step illustrations. It is also required to submit a 4-minute video that combines high-definition clinical images with the testimonial of the patient.
All cases fulfilling the criteria will go through to a public vote. A jury composed of key opinion leaders in dentistry will select the final winners, who will be announced at Europerio 2022.
