He has also been Area Manager and Market Developer at Astra Tech and held various managerial positions at both Fresenius Kabi and Biocare. ”With the recently published, very strong clinical results and the positive feedback we have received from the market I am confident that Zolidd will play an important role in the implant industry, and look forward to leading the company during these exiting times”, says Ulf Sewerin. ”Former CEO Dr. Trine Vikinge has successfully taken the company to the point where we now have successful clinical results in place, meaning that we are now ready for partnering discussions for the dental market. With Ulf Sewerin we add valuable market experience in the dental implant industry, while Trine Vikinge continues to be responsible for product development and clinical development in the role as CTO,” says Maria Fors, CEO of Accelerator Nordic AB.

AddBIO AB has developed Zolidd®, a proprietary bioactive nanolayer for orthopedic and dental implants that releases bisphosphonate, a bone strengthening drug. In February, positive results from a randomized clinical trial, conducted at Linköping University Hospital in Sweden, were presented that show that dental implants with a bisphosphonate nanolayer have improved stability.
