Ivoclar Vivadent AG sets the pace in the dental market

Ivoclar Vivadent is one of the world’s leading dental companies. The company’s success is based on a comprehensive portfolio of products and systems, strong research and development capabilities and a clear commitment to training and further education.

What began more than 85 years ago as a manufacturing site for ceramic teeth has evolved into a leading international company with a comprehensive product range for dentists and dental technicians. Ivoclar Vivadent is a privately held company based in Schaan, Liechtenstein. As a global player, the company is present in all dental markets across the globe with its own subsidiaries in 22 countries and employs a total of 2300 specialists worldwide.

Three areas of competence

Ivoclar Vivadent offers modern treatment options and comprehensive product systems for each phase in the life cycle of a tooth.
The company concentrates its activities on three areas of competence: composites, all-ceramics and implant esthetics:

Restorative materials have traditionally been one of the company’s core competencies. Effective bonding agents, high-performance light-curing units and patient-friendly auxiliaries work hand in hand with each other, providing smooth treatment procedures in direct restorative therapy. Professional care and therapeutic products support the long-term success of the restoration.

Ivoclar Vivadent has revolutionized the dental market with its all-ceramic systems IPS Empress and IPS e.max. Highly aesthetic all-ceramic bridges, crowns and veneers have become an integral part of modern dentistry.

Ivoclar Vivadent meets the requirements of natural tooth replacements. The company supplies products and systems that ensure sound preparation and execution of both fixed and removable dental prosthetics.

Creating tomorrow’s dental world

Our full-fledged products are the result of our concentrated research and collaboration with universities and users. At our Headquarters in Schaan, 130 employees in Research and Development are working daily towards transforming today’s vision into tomorrow’s reality. They develop materials and equipment that satisfy our customers because of their functionality and aesthetics.

Committed to education

Ivoclar Vivadent is involved with high standards of training and further education. The International Center of Dental Education (ICDE) at the Headquarters in Schaan sets a benchmark for continuing dental education. Technologically advanced lecture rooms, laboratories, practice rooms and a large auditorium provide an environment in which educational events can be held in a professional and effective manner. In 2009 alone, more than 2000 opinion leaders, dealers, dentists and dental technicians participated in further education courses at the Schaan Headquarters. Around 30 regional training centres provide a high level of knowledge about our products in all parts of the world.
