Products and services

• IrriFlex® Highly flexible polymer irrigation needle designed for safe delivery of irrigants deep into root canals, including highly curved canals. The needle taper is identical to that of shaping instruments, making it an ideal complement to endodontic treatments.
• MAP System® (Micro Apical Placement) Precision delivery system for placing non-injectable bioceramic root repair materials (such as MTA) in root canals, using color-matched plastic plungers, a bayonet syringe mechanism, and dedicated MAP needles.
• MAP VPT (Vital Pulp Therapy) System An extension of the MAP System specifically designed for vital pulp therapy procedures, enabling precise and homogeneous placement of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) during direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy, and total pulpotomy.
• SwissMat™ Sectional Matrix System A complete sectional matrix system for restoring anatomical contact points in Class II cavities, featuring ultra-thin 0.04mm stainless steel bands, V-Wedges in multiple sizes, interchangeable autoclavable thermoplastic polymer tines, and a stainless steel ring with double spring geometry.
• EssenSeal® A zinc oxide-eugenol-based endodontic sealer with bacteriostatic properties used in root canal obturation, filling gaps between gutta-percha and canal walls.
• Fibrapost Lux Glass Fiber Post A UDMA matrix resin glass fiber reinforced composite post (BisGMA-free, epoxy-free) with light-conducting design that transmits axial and radial light for reliable dual-cure cement polymerisation deep in the canal.
• Drill-A-Post Precision Reamer System A tapered reamer system precisely matched to Fibrapost Lux dimensions with 2°30' conicity, non-cutting tip to prevent apical transport and perforation, and silicone depth rings for safe consistent drilling depth.
• Cavity Liner Light-curing radiopaque calcium hydroxide paste for sealing pulpal floor and canal orifices with pH 12 antibacterial properties.
• MTA White (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) Mineral Trioxide Aggregate in white formulation for apical plugs, perforation repairs, and obturation in open apex or immature teeth.
• IrriGance™ Color Syringes Color-coded irrigation syringes providing control and flexibility for safe sodium hypochlorite irrigation in endodontic procedures.
• Gutta-Percha Points Thermoplastic biocompatible radiopaque gutta-percha points available in various tapers for matched-taper obturation systems.
• EDTA 17% Solution Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid solution for smear layer removal and opening dentinal tubules during irrigation.
• Paper Points Absorbent paper points for drying root canals after irrigation and before obturation.
• Gates-Glidden Drills Flame-shaped coronal flaring drills with non-cutting tips in sizes #1-6 for straight-line access preparation.
• Peeso Reamers Parallel cutting reamers with non-cutting tips for post-space preparation and gutta-percha removal during retreatment.
• Universal Solder® Silver-based brazing stick with integrated flux for precise dental instrument repair, melting point 630-700°C, mechanical strength ~590 MPa. Available through select dental supply distributors.
• 360° Solutions (Contract Manufacturing) End-to-end contract manufacturing services for medical device partners combining laboratory production, mechanical machining, and injection molding (including micro-injection, overmolding, bi-injection) in ISO 7 clean room environment, with full project lifecycle from 3D design and prototyping through qualification and production.
