High quality, exceptional purity

SCHOTT's expertise in dental glasses is based on a 130-year history as world leader in specialty glass. The production of dental glasses must meet high purity requirements to achieve very small grain sizes with excellent transparency. To fulfill this, SCHOTT® DentalGlasses are manufactured using dedicated optical glass melting tanks and specialized grinding facilities.

Setting the standard for strength and esthetics

Dental fillings must fulfill continuously rising requirements for both strength under immense stress and appealing esthetics. SCHOTT® DentalGlasses offer excellent transparency and very small grain sizes to enable polishability. To enhance strength, high filler loading with different particle sizes delivers exceptional pressure resistance.
