3M Buys Imtec

The rumors have been swirling for a little bit and it was confirmed today. 3M - yes, the large corporation that brings you Post-It notes and Scotch tape - is now entering the dental implant market. The deal should close later this year but expect to see much more advertising of Imtec’s MIDI implant and their ILUMA imaging. The money is definitely there now. If you needed convincing that implants are a growing part of dentistry, you need only look to the growing number of investments by non-dental companies for proof.
