Ivoclar is a worldwide dental company that produces a range of products and systems for dentists and dental technicians.

History

Ivoclar was founded in Zurich in 1923. In 1933, it relocated in Liechtenstein. It originally produced artificial tooth, but evolved into a global manufacturer of dental care products.[2]

In 2019, the company launched a dental consultation mobile application.[3]

In 2022, the company dropped Vivadent, rebranding its name to just Ivoclar.[4][5] In 2023, the company inaugurated its new head office building and celebrated its 100th anniversary.[2][6]

Leadership

In July 2019, Diego Gabathuler was appointed chief executive officer of Ivoclar, succeeding Robert Ganley, who had held the role for sixteen years.[7] In 2023, Gabathuler resigned to pursue opportunities outside the dental industry and was succeeded by Markus Heinz.[7]


Description
