Kettenbach, a German producer of impression materials, will now sell its dental products direct to the U.S. dental market. The company's U.S. division is headquartered in Huntington Beach, CA.
To mark its entry into the U.S. dental market, Kettenbach has introduced its full line of Futar bite registration materials, including Futar D, the leading bite registration material in Germany, according to a company press release.
"Kettenbach has developed into a leading player in the global dental market within the impression material sector based on 60 years of experience," said Maribelle Velasco, vice president of sales, marketing, and operations for Kettenbach in the U.S.
The next product slated for direct sales in the U.S. is Silginat, a medium-bodied viscosity, polyvinyl siloxane impression material designed for a variety of indications, such as anatomical models, fabrication of temporary crown and bridges, orthodontic appliances, and case study models. Silginat will be introduced at the 2008 ADA meeting in San Antonio in October.
