3M Oral Care

3M Oral Care was the dental and orthodontics division of 3M Company, supplying products and technology to dental professionals worldwide. The business positioned itself as a global leader in quality and innovation, providing materials, technology, and resources to support patient care, with a legacy spanning over 70 years.

Its portfolio serves both general dentistry and orthodontics, including restorative materials, bonding/adhesive systems, cements, and preventive care products. Well-known product lines include Filtek, Scotchbond, Transbond, RelyX, and Clinpro. For example, Filtek Easy Match Universal Restorative features naturally adaptive opacity and an intuitive shade-selection process to simplify direct restorative procedures.

The business no longer operates under the 3M name. On April 1, 2024, the new health care company Solventum completed its spin-off from 3M and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker "SOLV." As a result, 3M Oral Care is now part of Solventum's Oral Care business, with its established product brands transitioning to the Solventum brand.

As context for scale, the broader Solventum business had sales of $8.2 billion in 2023 while still part of 3M and comprised 22,000 employees, led by CEO Bryan Hanson, CFO Wayde McMillan, and board chair Carrie Cox. Innovation in dental materials and technology is core to this entity, given its self-described position as a leader in dental innovation.
