3M Oral Care.

3M's history page says Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company was founded in 1902 in Two Harbors, Minnesota, and that the legal name became 3M Company in the centennial year. On 1 April 2024, 3M completed the spin-off of its health care business as Solventum Corporation, listed on the New York Stock Exchange as SOLV. The release says holders of 3M stock received one Solventum share for every four 3M shares, and that 3M retained 19.9 percent of Solventum. Dental products that had been 3M Oral Care moved with that health care business.

Solventum's oral-care rebrand page says the products you know, including Filtek, Scotchbond, Transbond, RelyX, and Clinpro, keep the same formulation and use, while the company name and packaging change. The transition of packaging is described as running through 2025 to 2028, so a shelf can hold both 3M and Solventum boxes. Catalog numbers stay. A Scotchbond bottle and a Filtek syringe are still ordered by those trademark names. The page says Solventum, formerly 3M Health Care, became a standalone company in 2024 and that the oral-care relationship with practices goes back more than 70 years.

A March 2024 Solventum investor presentation describes Dental Solutions as restorative, prevention, and orthodontic products, and names Filtek composites, Scotchbond adhesives, RelyX cements, and Clarity aligners and brackets. It says the business sells directly to dentists, orthodontists, group practices, and schools, and also through distributors. Filtek is the composite. Scotchbond is the adhesive. RelyX is the cement. Clarity is the orthodontic line. They do not share one set of instructions.

This profile uses the 3M Oral Care name because that is how the products were labeled for years and how many lockers are still organized. The operating company for new production is Solventum. When a sales representative says 3M, ask whether the lot is still in 3M packaging or already in Solventum packaging. The chemistry claim on the rebrand page is that the formulation does not change with the logo.

These materials suit a practice that has standardized on Scotchbond, Filtek, or RelyX and needs to know the box may now say Solventum. Adhesives are compared on the dental adhesive guide.

Composites and resin cements are on the universal composite guide and the resin cement guide.

Solventum says formulation and indications stay. Packaging and the company name change on a product-by-product schedule through 2028. Reorder by catalog number, which the rebrand page says does not change.

Glass ionomer and flowable products in the wider restorative list belong with the glass ionomer guide and the flowable guide when those are the SKUs. Core composites are on the core composite guide.

The investor slides say Solventum sells direct and through distributors. Your Henry Schein or other dealer account may be the same. The manufacturer on the new box is Solventum, not 3M, once that SKU has transitioned.

Etchants used with Scotchbond are a separate bottle. See the etchant guide if the protocol is etch-and-rinse. The adhesive IFU still decides whether etch is required.
