RTD Products
Established in 1968 by Dr. Marc Reynaud, Recherches Techniques Dentaires (RTD) developed and commercialized the fiber- reinforced composite post and is the world-wide leader in this field. RTD is certified ISO 9001 / EN 13485, employs engineers, technicians and chemists, and is protected by a number process and design patents.
Today, RTD produces several of styles and shapes of translucent and tooth-colored posts, as well as cements and other accessory products for post-core restoration and reinforcement. Tens of millions of RTD posts have been successfully placed, in more than 100 countries, and they have been the subject of over 125 technical publications. Because innovation, through research and development, is central to our success, RTD re-invests a large percentage of its capital in human resources and equipment. The RTD development team includes dentists, engineers, and technicians specializing in dental materials science and chemistry.
In 1996, the expanding RTD relocated to a larger, brand new facility in nearby St. Egreve France. The new facility has been enlarged, in 2004, 2006 and again in 2007. In 2014 RTD opened a second facility to handle specific manufacturing operations. All aspects of manufacturing and quality control testing are done in-house. RTD‘s personnel has tripled in recent years.
