Triodent Ltd. is a New Zealand dental manufacturing company based in Katikati, New Zealand. Founded by Dr. Simon McDonald in 2003, it is a New Zealand-based manufacturer of dental products. Its products are the V3 and V-Ring Sectional Matrix Systems for Class II composite restorations.
History[edit]
The company was formed in 2003 when dentist and inventor Dr Simon McDonald took to market his first product, the Tri-Clip.
The V-Ring Sectional Matrix System, launched in 2005, was the first such system with V-shaped ring tines, which for the first time accommodated the interproximal wedge rather than competing with it for space.[1][2] The system also pioneered the use in dentistry of nickel-titanium alloy for the retainer ring. The next version of the V-Ring was the V3, introduced in 2008. Among other adjustments, this ring used glass fiber reinforced plastic to replace the V-Ring’s stainless steel tines.
Locations[edit]
The company’s headquarters are in Katikati, New Zealand. The Triodent Group also comprises Triodent Corporation in the United States and Triodent (UK) Ltd based in Europe.
Products[edit]
Major products include the original V-Ring Sectional Matrix System and its successor, the V3 Sectional Matrix System; the Griptab indirect restoration handling aid; and the Triotray posterior impression tray. Key components in the V3 system include Triodent Pin-Tweezers, Forceps, Wave-Wedges and V3 Matrices.
Awards and commendations[edit]
Triodent was New Zealand’s fastest-growing manufacturer in 2008.[3] The company was named New Zealand’s best for use of research and development at the New Zealand International Business Awards in 2009[4] and was named top exporter to the United States in its category at the American Chamber of Commerce in New Zealand Export Awards 2009.[5]
The V-Ring system has won numerous product awards, most notably from independent evaluator The Dental Advisor, which named the V-Ring its top sectional matrix system in 2008.[6] It gave the same award to the V3 in 2009,[7] a title it won again in 2010 and 2011.[8]
Triodent has received accolades from a number of different areas including Dental News [9] dentistry.co.uk [10] Dental Compare [11] and Unlimited - Inspiring Business.[12]
