Ultradent Products, Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of high-tech dental materials, is announcing acquisition of Medicinos Linija UAB, known globally as "i-dental," a renowned manufacturer and distributer of dental products headquartered in Siauliai, Lithuania.
The addition of i-dental’s network and infrastructure will assist Ultradent’s ability to better serve dentists throughout the world. With i-dental as the company’s most recent acquisition, Ultradent now has offices and subsidiaries in 12 countries.
“With the help of the talented team members of i-dental, Ultradent will be able to empower more clinicians to provide better care for their patients,” says Ultradent President and CEO Dirk Jeffs. “Ultradent has a longstanding connection with i-dental and founder Gintaras Dapkus, whom we met 25 years ago when he attended one of our educational events. Both companies are driven by a shared mission—the mutual admiration, innovative spirit, and vision between Ultradent and i-dental make this a seamless partnership that will benefit oral health globally.”
Founded in 1992 by Gintaras Dapkus, i-dental began as a dental supply company and transitioned into a manufacturer of dental materials—top products include composites, glass ionomers, etchants, liners, and prophy paste. i-dental is ISO certified and has recently passed an MDR audit. Dapkus will remain minority owner and active i-dental management. “I am thrilled about this new chapter for i-dental, Ultradent, and oral health care providers around the world,” says Dapkus. “This partnership opens up incredible opportunities for innovation, growth, and improving patient care.”
