About Cumdente
Cumdente GmbH develops and produces dental materials and products based in Tübingen. The company, founded in 1997 by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Rainer Hahn, offers products for endodontics (e.g., MTA-based sealers and bioceramic calcium-based repair materials), implantology (pure titanium Grade 4 KV implants with an oxide surface), restoration (composites, bonding agents, cements, provisional material), as well as prophylaxis and oral care (ApaCare, OraLactin). The materials include pure titanium, aluminum oxide and zirconium oxide ceramics, polymer ceramics, gutta-percha, bioceramic MTA materials, and methylmethacrylate-free acrylates. The products are manufactured in Germany and distributed to dentists and distributors via a B2B shop. In addition, Cumdente operates the DentalSchool Tübingen for dental further education. Manufacturing is certified according to DIN EN ISO 13485:2016.
