The best impression materials for dentistry
Over seventy years of research and experience resulted in reliable high-quality alginates. Tens of thousands of professionals use Cavex alginates for dental impressions every day. Ever since Cavex CA37 became a global benchmark, Cavex has developed four more unique alginates.
Cavex CA37: Cavex alginates kick-off
To trace the success of our dental impression materials we must take a trip back in time. Nearly 70 years ago, Cavex CA37, calcium alginate with recipe number 37, was introduced. Now, more than half a century later, our all-purpose alginate is still used in thousands of dental clinics around the world.
Quality is crucial
Safety, reliability, and accuracy: the three vital pillars of dental impression materials. To guarantee that Cavex alginates always meet the strictest quality criteria of organizations such as ISO and ADA, we execute quality checks in several stages of the production process. Hence, we inspect the quality of the material before, during and after production.
Also, we conduct research daily and stay updated with the latest developments in the field of alginate dental impression materials. We strive for absolute perfection, time and time again.
