Coltène/Whaledent has a long history of manufacturing and selling endodontic products under the Roeko, Hygenic and Whaledent brands. The ParaPost system from Coltène/Whaledent has been dominating the market for more than 50 years. Well known for its product line that includes gutta-percha and paper points as well as the invention of the first silicone based sealer RoekoSeal, Roeko has just celebrated its 100th birthday.

Additionally, Roeko is known for manufacturing the first cold filling system, GuttaFlow. A global leader in dental dam, Hygenic also offers a well-established product line that includes gutta-percha and paper points.

Now, Coltène/Whaledent has decided to join all of the brands under one new business unit — COLTENE ENDO. This merger of brands enables the team to focus on the Endodontic field, thereby enhancing customer service and expediting innovation forces.

COLTENE ENDO just launched an innovative root canal instrumentation rotary system called HyFlex CM that offers 300 percent higher resistance to cyclical fatigue, superior canal tracking due to a new process that makes the files extremely flexible without the shape memory of conventional NiTi files.

Coltène/Whaledent is the North American division of Coltène Holding AG, a global dental manufacturer traded on the Swiss Stock Exchange, that provides best-in-class products to assist dental professionals in improving their practice, procedures and treatment outcome of patient care worldwide. Coltène/Whaledent is committed to helping the global dental community augment oral health standards around the world by providing intelligently designed products with success in mind, encompassing dental laboratory fabrication, restoratives, prosthetics, endodontics, hygiene/treatment accessories and rotary instruments.
