KaVo

KaVo is a long-established dental technology company focused on equipment, instruments, and related solutions for dental practices, laboratories, and education. Founded in 1909 in Germany, the company is known for treatment units, handpieces, turbines, diagnostics, hygiene equipment, laboratory systems, and service offerings. KaVo operates as a premium dental manufacturer rather than a therapeutics developer, so it does not have a biopharma-style drug pipeline or clinical-stage portfolio. Since early 2022, KaVo has been part of the Finnish Planmeca Group, where it contributes dental instruments and treatment-unit capabilities to a broader digital dental solutions portfolio. The company remains active globally and markets its products to dentists, dental technicians, universities, and other oral healthcare professionals.
