(Canada, North American sales and distribution out of Vancouver/Burnaby), and DiaDent Europe B.V. (Netherlands, established 2005). The company designs and manufactures endodontic consumables and small dental equipment, with its core franchise centered on Gutta Percha and Paper Points sold in multiple variants (ISO sizes, mm-marked, tapered for ProTaper/WaveOne/System GT), supplemented by endodontic materials (Dia-ProSeal epoxy resin sealer, Dia-Root Bio Sealer bioceramic MTA sealer, Diapex Plus calcium hydroxide, Dia-Prep Pro EDTA), small equipment (Duo-Gun cordless obturation device, Dia-Ultrasonic dual-frequency endo activator, D-Lux+ dual-wavelength curing light), and a newer cosmetic/restorative and impression material portfolio (DiaFil nanohybrid composite, Dia-X Bond Universal, Dia-X SIL VPS impression material).

DiaDent sells through two principal channels: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront on diadent.com restricted to licensed dental professionals, students, and hygienists in the US and Canada (with free shipping thresholds and account-based pricing), and a global authorized dealer network of over 900 dealers serving 127 countries, including major tier-1 dental distributors (Henry Schein, Benco, Patterson, Burkhart, Darby, Sinclair, Clinical Research Dental). The business model is predominantly one-time product sales of consumables and hardware, supplemented by volume promotions (Buy 1 Get 1 Free, bundle deals), free shipping incentives, and a dedicated Endo Resident Program offering over 40% off MSRP to endodontic residents at Canadian and US universities as a customer-acquisition and loyalty tool. The company is privately held, founder/management controlled with no disclosed institutional or venture backing, and holds ISO 9001 (1998), CE Mark (1998), and KFDA (2003) certifications.
