In the 1960s, Ivoclar Vivadent revolutionized the dental industry with its predosed, mechanically mixable tooth filling and cementation materials in capsules. Ivoclar Vivadent’s introduction of the “Pearl Effect” artificial teeth set new standards in aesthetics. Expanding its reach, Ivoclar Vivadent established subsidiaries in France, Italy, and Austria. The 1970s marked a period of further international expansion, with offices opened in Sweden, Spain, Australia, the US, New Zealand, and Canada. In Austria, they set up advanced facilities for manufacturing dental laboratory equipment in Bludenz. The 1990s brought remarkable innovation and disruption. They introduced the groundbreaking IPS Empress porcelain system, a game-changer in the dental industry. The launch of Tetric technology set a new era in tooth-colored restorative materials. Seizing opportunities, they entered the Asian market with a production facility in the Philippines and a subsidiary in China. The 2000s witnessed the resounding success of IPS e.max, their lithium disilicate glass ceramic material that quickly became the gold standard for dental glass ceramics. Embracing digital dentistry, they now leverage its power to drive growth. Ivoclar Vivadent digital workflows encompass intraoral scanners, digital manufacturing equipment like milling and 3D printing machines, and other advanced technologies.
