Brazil's public health system expands access to digital dental prostheses and oral multiple sclerosis treatment

On June 19, 2026, digital dental prostheses created with intraoral scanning and 3‑D printing were offered to residents of Santo André and Diadema in São Paulo state through a partnership between iDenture and municipal health services. The initiative aims to cut a queue of roughly 7,000 patients and improve patients' ability to eat, speak and smile, demonstrating a move toward modernised, faster oral care in the SUS.

In June 2026, a multiple‑sclerosis patient in Salvador accessed a newly incorporated oral medication via the SUS, reflecting the public system's addition of a high‑activity MS drug to its formulary. The treatment has helped the patient regain autonomy, and it benefits an estimated 40,000 Brazilians living with the disease.
