Magdent Wins US$150,000 Investment at Dentalcorp’s Demo Day

In the closely contested competition, Oral Genome also won a US$50,000 investment as the runner-up.

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dentalcorp, one of North America's largest dental support organizations, today announced Magdent as the winner of its inaugural Demo Day, with Oral Genome finishing a close second. The live dental technology competition was held on June 24 in Orlando, Florida. Magdent and Oral Genome will receive SAFE investments* of US$150,000 and US$50,000 respectively, with both earning a potential pilot opportunity across Dentalcorp’s network of more than 600 practices. A judging panel that included senior leaders from Dentalcorp, Henry Schein One, VideaHealth and Dental Innovation Alliance selected the winners.

"The response to Demo Day far surpassed our expectations. The quality and range of the technology was striking, and a reminder that the future of this profession is as bright as the people building it." — Nate Tchaplia, President, Dentalcorp

Dentalcorp’s Demo Day is the first competition of its kind hosted by a dental support organization. More than 50 companies from across the world applied. Seven finalists were selected to deliver live technology demonstrations before an expert panel and a curated audience of dental industry executives, investors and operators.

“Magdent and Oral Genome impressed us so much that we increased the size of our initial investment commitment to back them both. We are already looking forward to next year’s edition of Demo Day because the pace of innovation across the dental industry is showing no signs of slowing down and Dentalcorp is committed to supporting the founders and technology that will define the next chapter of clinical care." — Graham Rosenberg, CEO & Chairman, Dentalcorp

The Winner: Magdent

Magdent has built the first electronic healing abutment, a device that helps bone heal faster around dental implants and lowers the risk of failure. The company is led by CEO Benny Barak alongside founders Prof. Shlomo Barak, DMD and Dr. Moshe Neuman, DMD. Already in market across Europe, a pilot with Dentalcorp would mark Magdent's debut in North America.

"Winning Demo Day is an enormous moment for Magdent. We have spent years proving the science behind our technology, and the chance to explore a pilot across Dentalcorp's network would be our first step into the North American market. We're grateful to the judges and the Dentalcorp team for the opportunity to bring this innovation to more clinicians and patients." — Benny Barak, CEO, Magdent

The Runner-Up: Oral Genome

Oral Genome has developed a chairside saliva screening platform that enables dental teams to assess risk indicators associated with cavities, gum disease, and overall health in minutes during a routine dental visit. Designed as a non-diagnostic screening tool, Oral Genome supports clinical decision-making while keeping diagnosis and treatment planning with the provider. Founded by Dr. Tina Saw, DDS, Oral Genome is advancing medical-dental integration through partnerships with dental organizations, healthcare systems, research institutions and public health programs.

“Being recognized at Demo Day means a great deal to our team. I founded Oral Genome with the belief that a routine dental visit can become an opportunity to better understand a patient’s overall health. We’re excited about the opportunity to explore a pilot across Dentalcorp’s network and are grateful to the judges and the entire Dentalcorp team for their support and confidence in our vision.” — Dr. Tina Saw, DDS, Founder & CEO, Oral Genome
