NEW YORK, Dec. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. ("Dentsply") and reminds investors of the January 27, 2025 deadline to apply for the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been initiated against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi, established in 1995, has successfully recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors and has offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California, and Georgia.
