Ultradent becomes exclusive Triodent distributor in US

Effective April 1, 2012, Ultradent Products Inc. will be the exclusive distributor of Triodent Corporation products in the United States.

“Ultradent is highly regarded for its progressive approach and ways of doing business, and I too have admired them for a long time,” Triodent founder and CEO Dr. Simon McDonald said. “We believe there are things we can do, and do much better, with Ultradent as our partner. I very much look forward to seeing this synergy develop.”

The partnership with Ultradent is the result of careful consideration. The greatest emphasis was finding a partner that could maintain the type of service Triodent has provided to date.

“In the end,” said Dr. McDonald, “Ultradent and its direct business model was preferred because our business philosophies are very similar, as are the aspirations for our customers and business in general.”

“We’re very excited about our partnership with Triodent,” said Dr. Dan Fischer, President and CEO of Ultradent Products, Inc. “We’ve maintained a history of innovative products with the end goal of making our dentist partners more efficient and benefiting patients with quality treatment. Triodent’s offerings provide a nice complement to our existing line of direct restorative materials.”

Triodent’s flagship product, the V3 Sectional Matrix System which features the V3 Ring, has won multiple awards from Reality, The Dental Advisor and Dentaltown’s Townies as a top sectional matrix system.

Other key Triodent products include:

• Triotray Pro and now Triotray Low Wall – two rigid and accurate dual-arch impression trays with single-use inserts;

• the non-stick and ultra-contoured SuperCurve matrix;
• the 360° Cervical Matrices for composite and glass ionomer;
• and WedgeGuard, the interproximal protector with detachable guard.

Dr. McDonald added that both companies have taken exceptional measures to ensure a smooth transition for customers who currently work directly with Triodent or their distributors. The existing structure will remain in place until April 1, when Ultradent will take over as the exclusive distributor.

“I’m confident our customers will be well looked after,” said Dr. McDonald. “All of them will be contacted by us directly, and Ultradent is committed to ensuring they are not inconvenienced. We try to maintain very high standards of service, and I know Ultradent does the same.”

Dr. McDonald said Triodent would continue to develop new and innovative products. “We never tire of finding new ways to make the dentist’s job easier, more profitable and more fun.”
