Dentsply Sirona Announces Acquisition of RTD – the pioneer in fiber-reinforced composite posts
Dentsply Sirona, The Dental Solutions Company, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of RTD (Recherche Techniques Dentaires), a privately owned French company and the worldwide leader in endodontic posts which perfectly complements Dentsply Sirona’s endodontics and restorative portfolio.

end-to-end solution for better, safer and faster root canals and tooth
restoration”, Jeffery T. Slovin, Chief Executive

years.
