SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 2, 2025 – DÜRR DENTAL marked a dual milestone at the 2025 International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne, celebrating both six decades of success for its Orotol® suction system disinfectant and a prestigious sustainability award for its FD 350 green disinfectant wipes. The event highlighted the company's enduring legacy and commitment to future-ready, eco-conscious dental hygiene solutions.
A Legacy of Hygiene Leadership
Orotol, introduced in 1965, has stood as the cornerstone of DÜRR DENTAL’s hygiene portfolio for 60 years. Its anniversary was commemorated at IDS with a vibrant campaign, engaging visitors through interactive displays, competitions, a dedicated video series, and a celebratory "Orotol birthday party" on March 27. The company’s IDS stand, themed in its signature yellow, underscored Orotol’s ongoing relevance as the firm’s most iconic and enduring hygiene product.
“We are very pleased to be in the spotlight with our oldest product in the field of hygiene and one of our latest innovations at the same time. It shows that we can help shape the future of dental hygiene, both then and now – and do so sustainably,” said Marc Diederich, Head of Business Unit Hygiene & Dental Care at DÜRR DENTAL.
Sustainability Recognized with GREEN DENTAL AWARD
Just one day before the Orotol celebration, DÜRR DENTAL received the GREEN DENTAL AWARD in the ‘Best Impact’ category for its FD 350 green disinfectant wipes. This accolade, awarded by the “DIE GRÜNE PRAXIS” initiative on March 26, highlights the company's strategic shift toward sustainable, environmentally responsible hygiene solutions—an increasingly vital focus in the dental sector.
FD 350 green disinfectant wipes, launched less than two years ago, are formulated to balance high-performance surface disinfection with ecological responsibility. Their rapid market acceptance and formal recognition reflect growing demand for sustainable dental practice solutions that do not compromise on safety or efficacy.
