After receiving the European market release for Curodont in January 2012, a further milestone for the internationalisation of credentis ag was fulfilled. In September 2012, credentis passed the two-day inspection of DQS on behalf of Health Canada.

credentis ag has met the high quality standards set by Health Canada without any non-conformities. During this intensive inspection, the quality management system of credentis was successfully inspected. As a result, credentis is now allowed to receive the import licence for Canada and to market its ground-breaking product Curodont for the regeneration of defect teeth in Canada.
 
Curodont provides dentists with a novel technology for in depth regeneration rather than repair of caries and similar tooth decay. Applied to an initial carious lesion, Curodont forms a scaffold of small fibres within the lesion. Around these fibres new enamel or dentin can form and grow. Ideally, within several weeks, the lesion will regenerate without the use of the dental drill or a filler material.
 
Curodont is based on the patented “Self-Assembling Peptide”- technology. The technology enables the formation of a three-dimensional matrix in an almost closed environment. The matrix itself acts as a scaffold for tissue regeneration, e.g. the formed matrix enables de-novo formation of Calciumphosphate crystals within an initial carious lesion.
 
credentis ag has its headquarters in the Technopark Aargau Switzerland, Windisch. CEO Dominik Lysek and CTO Michael Hug have expert knowledge in medicinal technology and a strong network in the dental industry. Werner Berner (member of the board) and Erich Platzer (chairman of the board), both members of the StartAngels Network, perfectly complement the know-how of the management and contribute to the success of the young company with their expert industry knowledge.
