Ultradent Katalog

Last year, we – the employees, my family and our distribution partners across the globe – celebrated Ultradent’s 30th birthday. Being somewhat nostalgic about this, it seemed the perfect opportunity to reflect on our history.

Ultradent Products – “something special” Unlike many large dental companies, which have more or less anonymous owners, Ultradent Products is a familyowned business still run by its founder. Even as a student at Loma Linda University in California, back in the seventies, Dr. Dan Fischer was already trying to put right the shortcomings of dental materials and procedures. His first invention, the Tissue Management system, led him to establish his own business, Ultradent Products, in 1979. Production began in a barn with support of several members of his family; since those early days, Ultradent Products has developed into one of the world’s most successful dental companies, with more than 850 employees. WeCore Values with stand for:ment We stand for: Integrity Care Quality Innovation: Hard Work: Honest • Courageous • Responsible Emphasis: ”Human care“ including health, differences, diversity, compassion, relationships, and life balance Products • Work environment with happiness, care, and respect to both internal and external customers Creative • Flexible • Savvy • Abhorrence of cynicism Persistence with knowledge and passion for known goals Brain “sweat” and muscle “sweat” are both golden “It´s not my job” doesn´t exist From the outset, Dr. Dan Fischer based his work on core values, which have guided his company’s developments. The central objective is to preserve the natural tooth structure as long as possible. Modern developments, particularly adhesive technology, mean that today's dentist is more capable than ever of adopting a conservative approach in the true sense. Hence, Dr. Fischer emphasizes the need always to choose the most minimally invasive form of treatment: fissure sealing before filling; tooth whitening before veneers; composite restoration before crowning. And today, repairing restorations is not compromising. Rather, it is often helpful to delay further loss of tooth substance through wear. No restorative material is truly permanent – nothing lasts forever – but by using modern techniques, we are able to buy time for patients and conserve their teeth more effectively and for longer than ever before. In Dr. Dan Fischer’s philosophy, the application technique plays a central role. “A product is only really suitable in practice if the application technique is ideal,” he says. That is why most of Ultradent's products are supplied in 1.2 ml syringes for direct application – (with the aid of special syringe tips). This ensures clean, accurate, and speedy delivery, and also conserves on material. REALITY is one of the leading dental research laboratories in the USA.
