manufacturing the first cold filling system, GuttaFlow. A global leader
in dental dam, Hygenic also offers a well-established product line that

Now, Coltène/Whaledent has decided to join all of the brands under

team to focus on the Endodontic field, thereby enhancing customer
service and expediting innovation forces.

makes the files extremely flexible without the shape memory of
conventional NiTi files.
