Vident, the Brea, California-based supplier of VITA dental restorative materials in North America, has signed onto the IdentAlloy/IdentCeram Council's program of material content certification.
Laboratories will now receive certificates attesting to the content of restorative materials so that they and the dentists they serve can use them to verify compositions, explain material choices to patients, document insurance claims and file with permanent records.
"We welcome Vident and the VITA line to the program," said Charles Yenkner, Executive Director of the IdentAlloy/IdentCeram Council. "Vident is joining with other industry leaders in helping laboratories and dentists improve outcomes and build patient confidence and satisfaction."
"Quality and service have been core components of Vident's value system since our founding 26 years ago," according to Fred Ketcho, Vident CEO. "Joining the IdentAlloy/IdentCeram Council's program gives our customers another tool to use in ensuring patients the best results."
Vident provides customers with a wide range of VITA shade determination and restorative products. The company's customers can also take advantage of its technical support team and professional education resources.
