Philips is celebrating the importance of technology by asking you-dental professionals and dental professional students-to develop an essay describing how technology and innovation have impacted the dental industry and helped to increase patient satisfaction and compliance.

The Philips Power of Innovation Challenge, hosted by Sonicare and Zoom!, opened July 9, 2012 and entries will be accepted through Sept. 4, 2012.

Open to dentists, dental students, dental hygienist students and registered dental hygienists, entries can be submitted to PhilipsChallenge@emanatepr.com. The official rules can be found at PhilipsChallenge.com. Contestants should leverage existing research with their personal experience to develop an essay (1,000-word limit) covering how technology and innovation have impacted the industry and helped increase patient satisfaction and/or compliance.
