What CMS Dental does

CMS Dental A/S is a Danish privately-held medical device company that develops and markets dental equipment and consumables for biofilm control, endodontics, and periodontology. Founded in 1993 by doctors Jimmie Kert and Lisbeth Rose, the company is headquartered in Roslev, Denmark, with manufacturing in Glyngøre. Its product portfolio centers on three technology pillars: (1) Light-Activated Disinfection (LAD/PDT) delivered through the FotoSan 630 and FlashMax P7 devices combined with the proprietary QROX B2 riboflavin-based photosensitizer, which produces reactive oxygen species to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungi in oral biofilm without antibiotics; (2) endodontic obturator systems SoftCore® (launched 1996) and OneStep® (2024), which use a radiopaque plastic core surrounded by natural thermoplastic gutta-percha, supported by dedicated heating ovens; and (3) ProlacSan® oral probiotic lozenges containing proprietary Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus plantarum strains originally isolated from children with healthy oral status. The company also markets FlashMax LED curing lights and the BlancOne whitening system.

The business operates a hybrid B2B/B2C model. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (curing lights, LAD devices, ovens) and consumables (photosensitizer vials, obturators, probiotic lozenges). Distribution channels include direct field sales to dental clinics worldwide, the cmsdentalshop.dk e-commerce storefront, and pharmacy retail for ProlacSan. All medical devices carry CE marking under EU MDR, and the company holds ISO 13485:2016 certification and §739 GMP authorization from the Danish Medicines Agency. The company exports globally from its single Danish production facility, has 11-50 employees, and reports over 20 million cumulative SoftCore root canal fillings performed worldwide. No external institutional investors are disclosed; the only funding event recorded is a small 2019 EISMEA grant.
