DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc to Host Investor Day Transcript

The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

Question: Brandon Vazquez - William Blair & Company L.L.C., Research Division - Analyst : Brandon Vazquez from William Blair. First on -- the bridges were very helpful, and I noticed one of the main drivers in both sales and profitability was the ortho business in terms of SureSmile and Byte. Maybe you can talk a little bit on the bottom line. Because I think a lot of us have done surveys. We've talked to docs, and you have a great product there, right? So we can see how sales can come through. How do you get that business more profitable? Is it just a matter of scale? Or are there other initiatives you guys are working on? And at what point does it flip within this LRP to be kind of a profit driver for you?

Question: Brandon Vazquez - William Blair & Company L.L.C., Research Division - Analyst : Okay. Maybe as a quick follow-up and a question of clarification on that.
