BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTAT

BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements and related notes contain the accounts of DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. and subsidiaries (“Dentsply Sirona” or the “Company”) on a consolidated basis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of Net sales and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires public entities to disclose information about significant expenses in their reportable segment results on both an interim and annual basis. Public entities are required to disclose significant expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. Significant expense categories are derived from expenses that are regularly reported to an entity’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) and included in a segment’s reported measures of profit or loss. Public entities are also required to disclose the title and position of the CODM and explain how the CODM uses the reported measures of profit or loss to assess segment performance. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted and should be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires public entities to disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid on an annual basis. The amendment in the ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Seasonality Our business is subject to quarterly fluctuations in demand due to price changes, marketing and promotional programs, management of inventory levels by distributors and other customers, and implementation of strategic initiatives which may impact sales levels in any given period. Demand can also fluctuate based on the timing of dental tradeshows, new product introductions, and variability in dental patient traffic, which can be exacerbated by seasonal or severe weather patterns, demographic disruptions, macroeconomic conditions, or other factors. Some dental practices in certain countries may also delay purchasing equipment and restocking consumables until year-end due to tax or other financial planning reasons which can impact the timing of our consolidated net sales, net income and cash flows. Sales for the industry and the Company are generally strongest in the second and fourth quarters and weaker in the first and third quarters, due to the effects of the items noted above and due to the impact of holidays and vacations, particularly throughout Europe. Because of the seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for any fiscal quarter will not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for other quarters or a full fiscal year.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION	3 Months Ended

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has four operating segments that are organized primarily by product. They generally have overlapping geographical presence, customer bases, distribution channels, and regulatory oversight with the exception of Wellspect Healthcare, which has a more discrete market and regulatory environment specific to the medical device industry. These operating segments, which also form the Company’s reportable segments, are identified in accordance with how the Company’s CODM regularly reviews financial results and uses this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and allocate resources. The Company evaluates performance of the segments based on net sales and adjusted operating income. Segment adjusted operating income is defined as operating income before income taxes and before certain corporate headquarters unallocated costs, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, restructuring and other costs, interest expense, net, other expense (income), net, amortization of intangible assets, and depreciation resulting from the fair value step-up of property, plant, and equipment from business combinations. Asset and other balance sheet information are not reported to the CODM. The Company’s segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows: Net Sales Three Months Ended (in millions) 2024 2023 Connected Technology Solutions $ 247 $ 265 Essential Dental Solutions 364 386 Orthodontic and Implant Solutions 271 259 Wellspect Healthcare 71 68 Total net sales $ 953 $ 978 Segment Adjusted Operating Income Three Months Ended (in millions) 2024 2023 Connected Technology Solutions $ 2 $ 6 Essential Dental Solutions 115 125 Orthodontic and Implant Solutions 42 49 Wellspect Healthcare 23 18 Segment adjusted operating income 182 198 Reconciling items expense (income): All other (a) 79 88 Intangible asset impairments 6 — Restructuring and other costs 1 59 Interest expense, net 18 20 Other (income) expense, net (7) 6 Amortization of intangible assets 54 53 Income (loss) before income taxes $ 31 $ (28) (a) Includes unassigned corporate headquarters costs.

This plan seeks to restructure the Company’s business to improve operational performance and drive shareholder value creation through a new operating model with four operating segments, optimization of central functions and overall management infrastructure, and other efforts aimed at cost savings. The restructuring plan anticipates a reduction in the Company’s global workforce of approximately 8% to 10%, subject to co-determination processes with employee representative groups in countries where required, which processes are now substantially complete. The Company expects to incur between $115 million and $135 million in one-time charges, comprising $80 million to $100 million in restructuring expenditures and charges, primarily related to employee transition, severance payments, employee benefits and facility closure costs, and $35 million in other non-recurring costs which mostly consist of consulting, legal and other professional service fees. The plan is expected to be substantially completed in 2024. The estimates of these charges and their timing are subject to several assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions and co-determination aspects in countries where required. Actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures in connection with this plan which are not currently contemplated. The liabilities associated with the Company's restructuring plans are recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of market risks, which primarily include the risks related to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These financial exposures are monitored and managed by the Company as part of its overall risk management program. The objective of this risk management program is to reduce the volatility that these market risks may have on the Company’s operating results and cash flows. The Company employs derivative financial instruments to hedge certain anticipated transactions, firm commitments, or assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate debt into variable rate debt or vice versa. The Company does not hold derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The following summarizes the notional amounts of cash flow hedges, hedges of net investments, fair value hedges, and derivative instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes by derivative instrument type at March 31, 2024 and the notional amounts expected to mature during the next 12 months. (in millions) Aggregate Notional Amount Aggregate Notional Amount Maturing within 12 Months Cash Flow Hedges Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 10 $ 10 Total derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges $ 10 $ 10 Hedges of Net Investments Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 839 $ 86 Cross currency basis swaps 288 — Total derivative instruments designated as hedges of net investments $ 1,127 $ 86 Fair Value Hedges Interest rate swaps $ 150 $ — Foreign exchange forward contracts 28 28 Total derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges $ 178 $ 28 Derivative Instruments not Designated as Hedges Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 803 $ 803 Total derivative instruments not designated as hedges $ 803 $ 803 Cash Flow Hedges Foreign Exchange Risk Management The Company hedges select anticipated foreign currency cash flows to reduce volatility in both cash flows and reported earnings. The Company designates certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges. As a result, the Company records the fair value of the contracts through AOCI based on the assessed effectiveness of the foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company measures the effectiveness of cash flow hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis rather than on a forward-to-forward basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair value is deferred in AOCI and released and recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the hedged transaction is recorded. The time-value component of the fair value of the derivative is reported on a straight-line basis in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period which it is applicable. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These foreign exchange forward contracts generally have maturities up to 18 months, which is the period over which the Company is hedging exposures to variability of cash flows, and the counterparties to the transactions are large international financial institutions. Interest Rate Risk Management The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate risk on long-term debt instruments and not for speculative purposes. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. On May 26, 2020, the Company paid $31 million to settle the $150 million notional Treasury rate lock contract, which partially hedged the interest rate risk of the $750 million Senior Notes due June 2030. This loss is amortized over the ten-year life of the notes. As of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $19 million of this loss is remaining to be amortized from AOCI in future periods. AOCI Release Overall, the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are considered to be highly effective for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2024, the Company expects to reclassify $3 million of deferred net losses on cash flow hedges recorded in AOCI in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the next 12 months. For the rollforward of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in AOCI, see Note 4, Comprehensive Income (Loss). Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations The Company has significant investments in foreign subsidiaries. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company employs both derivative and non-derivative financial instruments to hedge a portion of these exposures. The derivative instruments consist of foreign exchange forward contracts and cross-currency basis swaps. The non-derivative instruments consist of foreign currency denominated debt held at the parent company level. Translation gains and losses related to the net assets of the foreign subsidiaries are offset by gains and losses in the aforementioned instruments, which are designated as hedges of net investments and the intrinsic value changes in these instruments are recorded on AOCI, net of tax effects. The time-value component of the fair value of the derivative instrument is amortized on a straight-line basis in Other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the applicable period. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows except for derivative instruments that include an other-than-insignificant financing element, for which all cash flows are classified as financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The fair value of the foreign currency exchange forward contracts and cross-currency basis swaps is the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay at the reporting date, taking into account the effective interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The effective portion of the change in the value of these derivatives is recorded in AOCI, net of tax effects. Fair Value Hedges Foreign Exchange Risk Management The Company has intercompany loans denominated in Swedish kronor that are exposed to volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company employs derivative financial instruments to hedge these exposures. The Company accounts for these designated foreign exchange forward contracts as fair value hedges. The Company measures the effectiveness of fair value hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis rather than on a forward-to-forward basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair value will be recorded in Other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The time-value component of the fair value of the derivative is reported on a straight-line basis in Other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the applicable period. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Interest Rate Risk Management On February 13, 2024, the Company paid $9 million to settle the variable interest rate swap with a notional amount of $100 million which was originally set to mature on June 1, 2026. This closure of the interest rate swap will result in a loss of $8 million being amortized over the remaining life of the Senior Notes due June 2030. Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges The Company enters into derivative instruments with the intent to partially mitigate the foreign exchange revaluation risk associated with recorded assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency. The Company primarily uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge these risks. The gains and losses on these derivative transactions offset the gains and losses generated by the revaluation of the underlying non-functional currency balances and are recorded in Other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Gains and (losses) recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the economic hedges not designated as hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were not significant. Derivative Instrument Activity The effect of derivative hedging instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows: Three Months Ended 2024 2023 (in millions) Cost of products sold Interest expense, net Other (income) expense, net Cost of products sold Interest expense, net Other (income) expense, net Total amounts of line items presented in the Statement of Operations in which the effects of cash flow, net investment or fair value hedges are recorded $ 447 $ 18 $ (7) $ 459 $ 20 $ 6 (Gain) loss on Cash Flow Hedges reclassified from AOCI into income Foreign exchange forward contracts $ — $ — $ — $ (1) $ — $ — Interest rate swaps — — — — 1 — (Gain) loss on Hedges of Net Investment Cross currency basis swaps $ — $ — $ (1) $ — $ — $ 1 Foreign exchange forward contracts — — (6) — — 1 (Gain) loss on Fair Value Hedges: Interest rate swaps $ — $ 2 $ — $ — $ 2 $ — Foreign exchange forward contracts — — (1) — — — (Gain) loss on Derivative Instruments not Designated as Hedges Foreign exchange forward contracts $ — $ — $ (1) $ — $ — $ 2 Amount of Gain or (Loss) Recognized in AOCI Amount of Gain or (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Income Three Months Ended Consolidated Statements of Operations Location Three Months Ended (in millions) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Cash Flow Hedges Foreign exchange forward contracts $ — $ (1) Cost of products sold $ — $ 1 Interest rate swaps — — Interest expense, net — (1) Hedges of Net Investments Cross currency basis swaps $ 4 $ 1 Other expense (income), net $ — $ — Foreign exchange forward contracts 38 (2) Other expense (income), net — — Fair Value Hedges Foreign exchange forward contracts — 1 Other expense (income), net — — Consolidated Balance Sheets Location of Derivative Fair Values The fair value and the financial statement presentation of the Company's derivatives in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows: March 31, 2024 (in millions) Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Other Noncurrent Assets Accrued Liabilities Other Noncurrent Liabilities Designated as Hedges: Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 1 $ 1 $ 2 $ 5 Interest rate swaps — — 7 16 Cross currency basis swaps 3 8 — — Total $ 4 $ 9 $ 9 $ 21 Not Designated as Hedges: Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 7 $ — $ 7 $ — Total $ 7 $ — $ 7 $ — December 31, 2023 (in millions) Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Other Noncurrent Assets Accrued Liabilities Other Noncurrent Liabilities Designated as Hedges: Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 3 $ — $ 4 $ 47 Interest rate swaps — — 9 19 Cross currency basis swaps 4 4 — — Total $ 7 $ 4 $ 13 $ 66 Not Designated as Hedges: Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 5 $ — $ 5 $ — Total $ 5 $ — $ 5 $ — Balance Sheet Offsetting Substantially all of the Company’s derivative contracts are subject to netting arrangements, whereby the right to offset occurs in the event of default or termination in accordance with the terms of the arrangements with the counterparty. While these contracts contain the enforceable right to offset through netting arrangements with the same counterparty, the Company elects to present them on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities under netting arrangements at March 31, 2024 were as follows: Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions) Gross Amounts Recognized Gross Amount Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Financial Instruments Cash Collateral Received/Pledged Net Amount Assets Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 10 $ — $ 10 $ (8) $ — $ 2 Cross currency basis swaps 11 — 11 (5) — 6 Total assets $ 21 $ — $ 21 $ (13) $ — $ 8 Liabilities Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 15 $ — $ 15 $ (8) $ — $ 7 Interest rate swaps 23 — 23 (5) — 18 Total liabilities $ 38 $ — $ 38 $ (13) $ — $ 25 Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities under netting arrangements at December 31, 2023 were as follows: Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions) Gross Amounts Recognized Gross Amount Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Financial Instruments Cash Collateral Received/Pledged Net Amount Assets Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 8 $ — $ 8 $ (5) $ — $ 3 Cross currency basis swaps 8 — 8 (4) — 4 Total assets $ 16 $ — $ 16 $ (9) $ — $ 7 Liabilities Foreign exchange forward contracts $ 56 $ — $ 56 $ (7) $ — $ 49 Interest rate swaps 28 — 28 (2) — 26 Total liabilities $ 84 $ — $ 84 $ (9) $ — $ 75

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The estimated fair and carrying values of the Company's total debt were $1,972 million and $2,090 million, respectively, at March 31, 2024. At December 31, 2023, the estimated fair and carrying values were $2,018 million and $2,118 million, respectively. The fair value of long-term debt is determined by discounting future cash flows using interest rates available at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and interest rates for companies with similar credit ratings for issuances with similar terms and maturities. It is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement for disclosure purposes. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis The Company’s financial assets and liabilities set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows: March 31, 2024 (in millions) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cross currency basis swaps $ 11 $ — $ 11 $ — Foreign exchange forward contracts 9 — 9 — Total assets $ 20 $ — $ 20 $ — Liabilities Interest rate swaps $ 23 $ — $ 23 $ — Foreign exchange forward contracts 14 — 14 — Contingent considerations on acquisitions 4 — — 4 Total liabilities $ 41 $ — $ 37 $ 4 December 31, 2023 (in millions) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cross currency basis swaps $ 8 $ — $ 8 $ — Foreign exchange forward contracts 8 — 8 — Total assets $ 16 $ — $ 16 $ — Liabilities Interest rate swaps $ 28 $ — $ 28 $ — Foreign exchange forward contracts 56 — 56 — Contingent considerations on acquisitions 4 — — 4 Total liabilities $ 88 $ — $ 84 $ 4 Derivative valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and credit risks. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts that are considered cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. In addition, at times, the Company employs certain cross currency interest rate swaps and forward exchange forward contracts that are considered hedges of net investment in foreign operations. There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 44.9% and 18.4%, respectively. The quarter to date increase in the effective tax rate is due to an increase in valuation allowance and a shift in geographical mix of earnings towards jurisdictions with higher statutory tax rates. The Company performed an assessment to evaluate the new global minimum tax developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“Pillar Two”), which involved analyzing the tax laws in each jurisdiction in which the Company operates and modeling the implications with the Pillar Two framework. The impact of Pillar Two on the Company was not significant. The Company included the impact of the top-up tax under the Income Inclusion Rule for those jurisdictions in which the Company failed the transitional safe harbor requirement in its full year 2024 effective tax rate.

At March 31, 2024, the Company had $475 million of borrowings available under lines of credit, including lines available under its short-term arrangements and revolving credit facility. The Company’s revolving credit facility, term loans, and senior notes contain certain affirmative and negative debt covenants relating to the Company's operations and financial condition. At March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. Interest expense, net includes interest income of $5 million and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily relating to interest-bearing cash equivalents and customer financing for our direct-to-consumer aligner solutions.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS	3 Months Ended

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS	GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company's policy is to assess goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of April 1, with more frequent assessments if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company identified indicators of a more likely than not impairment related to certain indefinite-lived imaging product trade names within the Connected Technology Solutions segment. The decline in fair value of these indefinite-lived trade names was driven by declines in volumes during the first quarter of 2024, which is due in part to a loss in market share from competitive pricing pressures, as well as unfavorable economic conditions in certain markets. These factors contributed to a reduction in forecasted revenues in the near term. The trade names were evaluated for impairment using an income approach, specifically a relief from royalty method. Significant assumptions used in the relief from royalty method included, but were not limited to, a discount rate of 11%, revenue growth rates (including perpetual growth rates), and royalty rates. As a result, the Company recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge of $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The remaining carrying value of this intangible asset group was $22 million as of March 31, 2024. As the fair value of these indefinite-lived intangible assets approximates carrying value, any further decline in key assumptions could result in additional impairment in the future. Based on the interim quantitative and qualitative assessments performed for the Company's other indefinite-lived intangible assets and reporting units, the Company does not believe that the carrying value more likely than not exceeds the fair value in each case as of March 31, 2024; therefore, the Company did not identify any indicators of a more likely than not impairment related to its goodwill or intangible assets, other than as noted above. However, any further deterioration in key assumptions could result in impairment charges in the future. The Company applied a hypothetical sensitivity analysis by increasing the discount rate used to value these indefinite-lived intangible assets and reporting units by 100 basis points. As of March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Implants & Prosthetics reporting unit within the Orthodontic and Implant Solutions segment exceeded its carrying value by less than 15%. If discount rates were hypothetically increased by 100 basis points, this reporting unit would have an estimated fair value less than 10% in excess of its carrying value. Goodwill associated with this reporting unit was $1,148 million as of March 31, 2024. The fair values of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Connected Technology Solutions and Orthodontic and Implants Solutions segments continued to approximate carrying values as of March 31, 2024. Any further decline in key assumptions could result in additional impairments in future periods. The carrying values of these assets within the aforementioned segments were $182 million and $23 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2024. There is a risk of future impairment charges if there is a decline in the fair value of the reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of, among other things, actual financial results that are lower than forecasts, an adverse change in valuation assumptions, a decline in equity valuations, increases in interest rates, or changes in the use of intangible assets. There can be no assurance that the Company’s future asset impairment testing will not result in a material charge to earnings. A reconciliation of changes in the Company’s goodwill by reportable segment were as follows: (in millions) Connected Technology Solutions Essential Dental Solutions Orthodontic and Implant Solutions Wellspect Healthcare Total Balance at December 31, 2023 Goodwill $ 291 $ 840 $ 1,323 $ 275 $ 2,729 Accumulated impairment losses (a) (291) — — — (291) Goodwill, net at December 31, 2023 — 840 1,323 275 2,438 Impairment — — — — — Foreign Currency Translation — (5) (30) (3) (38) Balance at March 31, 2024 Goodwill 291 835 1,293 272 2,400 Accumulated impairment losses (291) — — — — Goodwill, net at March 31, 2024 $ — $ 835 $ 1,293 $ 272 $ 2,400 (a) The Company realigned segments in 2023, and at that time, there was an accumulated impairment loss that was not allocated to the new segments. Identifiable definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets were as follows: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (in millions) Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net Developed technology and patents $ 1,667 $ (1,016) $ 651 $ 1,697 $ (1,006) $ 691 Trade names and trademarks 270 (104) 166 271 (102) 169 Licensing agreements 30 (28) 2 30 (27) 3 Customer relationships 1,050 (684) 366 1,070 (680) 390 Total definite-lived 3,017 (1,832) 1,185 3,068 (1,815) 1,253 Indefinite-lived trade names and trademarks 428 — 428 447 — 447 In-process R&D (a) 5 — 5 5 — 5 Total indefinite-lived 433 — 433 452 — 452 Total identifiable intangible assets $ 3,450 $ (1,832) $ 1,618 $ 3,520 $ (1,815) $ 1,705 (a) Intangible assets acquired in a business combination that are in-process and used in research and development ("R&D") activities are considered indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the R&D efforts. The useful life and amortization of those assets will be determined once the R&D efforts are completed. In 2021, the Company purchased certain developed technology rights for an initial payment of $3 million and minimum guaranteed contingent payments of $17 million to be made upon reaching certain regulatory and commercial milestones. The contingent payments are not considered probable as of March 31, 2024.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contingencies On December 19, 2018, a putative class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and certain individual defendants. The plaintiff claims that the Company, and certain individual defendants, violated U.S. securities laws by making material misrepresentations and omitting required information in the December 4, 2015 registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with the 2016 merger of Sirona Dental Systems Inc. (“Sirona”) with DENTSPLY International Inc. (the “Merger”) and that the defendants failed to disclose, among other things, that a distributor had purchased excessive inventory of legacy Sirona products and that three distributors of the Company’s products had been engaging in anticompetitive conduct. In addition, the plaintiff alleges that the defendants violated U.S. securities laws by making false and misleading statements in quarterly and annual reports and other public statements between February 20, 2014, and August 7, 2018. The plaintiff asserts claims on behalf of a putative class consisting of (a) all purchasers of the Company's stock during the period from February 20, 2014 through August 7, 2018 and (b) former shareholders of Sirona who exchanged their shares of Sirona stock for shares of the Company's stock in the Merger. The Company moved to dismiss the amended complaint on August 15, 2019. The plaintiff filed its second amended complaint on January 22, 2021, and the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on March 8, 2021, with briefing on the motion fully submitted on May 21, 2021. The Company’s motion to dismiss was denied in a ruling by the Court on March 29, 2023 and the Company’s answer to the second amended complaint was filed on May 12, 2023. On September 29, 2023, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. The Company opposition to the plaintiff's motion for class certification was filed on February 8, 2024, with briefing on the plaintiff's motion to be fully completed by May 10, 2024. On June 2, 2022, the Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio captioned City of Miami General Employees’ & Sanitation Employees’ Retirement Trust v. Casey, Jr. et al., No. 2:22-cv-02371, and on July 28, 2022, the Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned San Antonio Fire and Police Pension Fund v. Dentsply Sirona Inc. et al., No. 1:22-cv-06339 (together, the “Securities Litigation”). The complaints in the Securities Litigation are substantially similar and both allege that, during the period from June 9, 2021 through May 9, 2022, the Company, Mr. Donald M. Casey Jr., the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Jorge Gomez, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, violated U.S. securities laws by, among other things, making materially false and misleading statements or omissions, including regarding the manner in which the Company recognized revenue tied to distributor rebate and incentive programs. On March 27, 2023, the Court in the Southern District of Ohio ordered the transfer of the putative class action to the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). On June 1, 2023, the Court consolidated the two separate actions under case No. 1:22-cv-06339 and appointed the City of Birmingham Retirement and Relief System, the El Paso Firemen & Policemen’s Pension Fund, and the Wayne County Employees’ Retirement System as Lead Plaintiffs for the putative class. Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint on July 28, 2023 (the “Amended Complaint”). In addition to asserting the same claims against the Company, Mr. Casey, and Mr. Gomez, the Amended Complaint added the Company’s former Chief Accounting Officer, Mr. Ranjit S. Chadha, as a defendant (collectively, “Defendants”). On October 10, 2023, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Lead Plaintiffs’ opposition to Defendants’ motion to dismiss was filed on December 8, 2023, and Defendants’ reply was filed on January 8, 2024. The motion to dismiss was granted as to Mr. Chadha and granted in part and denied in part as to the Company, Mr. Casey, and Mr. Gomez in a ruling by the Court on May 1, 2024. In addition to the Securities Litigation, as previously disclosed, the Company voluntarily contacted the SEC following the Company’s announcement on May 10, 2022 of the Audit and Finance Committee’s internal investigation. The Company continues to cooperate with the SEC regarding this matter. Separately, on July 13, 2023, Dentsply Sirona stockholder George Presura filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery captioned George Presura, Derivatively on Behalf of Nominal Defendant Dentsply Sirona Inc. v. Donald M. Casey Jr. et al. and Dentsply Sirona, Inc., No. 2023-0708-NAC (the “Presura Derivative Litigation”). The complaint, filed derivatively on behalf of the Company, asserts claims against current and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors and current and former executive officers, including Messrs. Casey and Gomez. The derivative complaint in this case contains allegations similar to those in the Securities Litigation, and it alleges that during the period from June 9, 2021 through July 13, 2023, various of the defendants breached fiduciary duties, committed corporate waste, and misappropriated information to conduct insider trading by making materially false and misleading statements or omissions regarding the Company’s recognition of revenue tied to distributor rebate and incentive programs and distributor inventory levels. On August 4, 2023, the Delaware Court of Chancery stayed the Presura Derivative Litigation until the earlier of public announcement of a settlement of the Securities Litigation or resolution of the pending motion to dismiss in the Securities Litigation. Additionally, on March 26, 2024, Dentsply Sirona stockholder Calvin Snee filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery captioned Calvin Snee, derivatively on behalf of Dentsply Sirona Inc. v. Donald M. Casey Jr., et al. and Dentsply Sirona Inc, No. 2024-0308 (the “Snee Derivative Litigation”). The complaint, filed derivatively on behalf of the Company, asserts claims against current and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors and current and former executive officers, including Messrs. Casey and Gomez. The derivative complaint in this case contains allegations similar to those in the Presura Derivative Litigation and the Securities Litigation, and it alleges that beginning in 2021, various of the defendants breached fiduciary duties, misappropriated information to conduct insider trading, and were unjustly enriched by making materially false and misleading statements or omissions regarding the Company’s recognition of revenue tied to distributor rebate and incentive programs and distributor inventory levels. On April 30, 2024, the Company and the plaintiffs in the Presura Derivative Litigation and Snee Derivative Litigation, filed a joint request in the Delaware Court of Chancery to consolidate and stay both cases until the earlier of public announcement of a settlement of the Securities Litigation or resolution of the pending motion to dismiss in the Securities Litigation. The request is pending. On March 21, 2023, Mr. Carlo Gobbetti filed a claim in the Milan Chamber of Arbitration against Dentsply Sirona Italia S.r.l. (“DSI”), Italy, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, seeking a total of €28 million for the alleged failure to pay a portion of the purchase price pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement, dated October 8, 2012 (the “SPA”), in which Sirona Dental Systems, S.r.l., which at the time of execution of the SPA was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sirona Dental Systems, Inc., acquired all of the shares of MHT S.p.A., an Italian corporation, from Mr. Gobbetti, and various other sellers. Sirona Dental Systems S.r.l. merged into Dentsply Italia S.r.l. in 2018 (the surviving entity is now Dentsply Sirona Italia S.r.l.). In connection with the closing of that transaction, SIRONA Dental Systems GmbH paid an amount equal to €7 million into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”). The proceeds of the Escrow Account were to be released to Mr. Gobbetti and the other sellers upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the delivery by July 2013 of a new prototype of an MHT S.p.A. camera which had to meet certain specifications. Mr. Gobbetti claims that he is entitled to receive the €7 million outstanding balance of the purchase price under the SPA, plus €21 million for damages incurred as a consequence of the failure to make the payment. Mr. Gobbetti claims that he has a right to receive the full purchase price under the SPA even if the conditions set out in the SPA to deliver a prototype of the MHT S.p.A. camera by July 2013 were not met. On May 15, 2023, DSI filed its initial statement of defense denying that Mr. Gobbetti and the other sellers were entitled to receive the funds deposited in the Escrow Account and further disputing the allegations. Following the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, hearings were held on September 13, 2023 and January 19, 2024, to illustrate and discuss their respective positions. The parties were also permitted to further develop their arguments in one additional round of defensive briefs. On January 29, 2024, the parties filed a statement setting out their final pleadings. The Arbitral Court eventually decided that the procedural issues raised by DSI (jurisdiction, capacity to be sued) will be considered together with the merits and granted the parties final deadlines to file their respective final briefs (March 29, 2024) and replies (April 15, 2024). Such filings have been completed and the next step is the final hearing for discussion scheduled for May 8, 2024. Except as noted above, no specific amounts of damages have been alleged in these lawsuits. The Company will continue to incur legal fees in connection with these pending cases, including expenses for the reimbursement of legal fees of present and former officers and directors under indemnification obligations. The expense of continuing to defend such litigation may be significant. The Company intends to defend these lawsuits vigorously, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any defense. If any of the lawsuits are decided adversely, the Company may be liable for significant damages directly or under its indemnification obligations, which could adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and cash flows. At this stage, the Company is unable to assess whether any material loss or adverse effect is reasonably possible as a result of these lawsuits or estimate the range of any potential loss. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is conducting an examination of the Company's U.S. federal income tax returns for the tax years 2015 and 2016. The Company received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment in April 2023 and a Revenue Agent Report in January 2024 from the IRS examination team proposing an adjustment related to an internal reorganization completed in 2016 with respect to the integration of certain operations of Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. following its acquisition in 2016. Although the proposed adjustment does not result in any additional federal income tax liability for the internal reorganization, if sustained, the proposed adjustment would result in the Company owing additional federal income taxes on a distribution of $451 million related to a stock redemption that occurred after the internal reorganization was completed in 2016. The amount of additional federal income taxes due for 2016 is approximately $2 million, excluding interest. The proposed adjustment, if sustained, would also result in a loss of foreign tax credits carried forward to later tax years. The Company believes that it accurately reported the federal income tax consequences of the internal restructuring and stock redemption in its tax returns and in April 2024, submitted an administrative protest with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals contesting the examination team’s proposed adjustments. The Company intends to vigorously defend its reported positions and believes that it is more likely than not that its positions will be sustained. The Company has not accrued a liability relating to the proposed tax adjustments. However, the outcome of this dispute involves a number of uncertainties, including those relating to the application of the Internal Revenue Code and other federal income tax authorities and judicial precedent. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the dispute with the IRS will be resolved favorably. The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions and pursue related appeals in the above-described pending matters. In addition to the matters disclosed above, the Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and similar proceedings incidental to its business. These legal matters primarily involve claims for damages arising out of the use of the Company’s products and services and claims relating to intellectual property matters including patent infringement, employment matters, tax matters, commercial disputes, competition and sales and trading practices, personal injury, and insurance coverage. The Company may also become subject to lawsuits as a result of past or future acquisitions or as a result of liabilities retained from, or representations, warranties or indemnities provided in connection with, divested businesses. Some of these lawsuits may include claims for punitive and consequential, as well as compensatory, damages. Except as otherwise noted, the Company generally cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the above described pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter may be. Based upon the Company’s experience, current information, and applicable law, it does not believe that these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. While the Company maintains general, product, property, workers’ compensation, automobile, cargo, aviation, crime, fiduciary and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance up to certain limits that cover certain of these claims, this insurance may be insufficient or unavailable to cover such losses. In addition, while the Company believes it is entitled to indemnification from third parties for some of these claims, these rights may also be insufficient or unavailable to cover such losses. Commitments Purchase Commitments The Company has certain non-cancelable future commitments primarily related to long-term supply contracts for key components and raw materials. At March 31, 2024, non-cancelable purchase commitments were as follows: (in millions) 2024 $ 185 2025 104 2026 51 2027 29 2028 32 Thereafter — Total $ 401 The above information should be read in conjunction with Part II, Item 7 “Contractual Obligations” and Part II, Item 8, Note 21, Commitments and Contingencies, in our 2023 Form 10-K. The table above includes commitments under our agreement with a cloud services provider supporting our digital platform which requires us to make minimum purchases totaling $98 million through 2028. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of March 31, 2024, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources other than certain items disclosed in the sections above. Indemnification In the normal course of business to facilitate the sale of our products and services, we indemnify certain parties, including customers, vendors, lessors, service providers, and others, with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, services to be provided by or for us, and intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and our executive officers that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. Several of these agreements limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim.

BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements and related notes contain the accounts of DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. and subsidiaries (“Dentsply Sirona” or the “Company”) on a consolidated basis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of Net sales and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires public entities to disclose information about significant expenses in their reportable segment results on both an interim and annual basis. Public entities are required to disclose significant expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. Significant expense categories are derived from expenses that are regularly reported to an entity’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) and included in a segment’s reported measures of profit or loss. Public entities are also required to disclose the title and position of the CODM and explain how the CODM uses the reported measures of profit or loss to assess segment performance. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted and should be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires public entities to disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid on an annual basis. The amendment in the ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Revenue	Revenues are measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services.
Inventory	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management	Foreign Exchange Risk Management The Company hedges select anticipated foreign currency cash flows to reduce volatility in both cash flows and reported earnings. The Company designates certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges. As a result, the Company records the fair value of the contracts through AOCI based on the assessed effectiveness of the foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company measures the effectiveness of cash flow hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis rather than on a forward-to-forward basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair value is deferred in AOCI and released and recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the hedged transaction is recorded. The time-value component of the fair value of the derivative is reported on a straight-line basis in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period which it is applicable. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These foreign exchange forward contracts generally have maturities up to 18 months, which is the period over which the Company is hedging exposures to variability of cash flows, and the counterparties to the transactions are large international financial institutions.
