South Jordan, Utah (PRWEB) September 27, 2012
Ultradent Products, Inc. supports the United States Federal Drug Administration’s recent ban (http://1.usa.gov/OoJBzt)
of products which contain bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical known to cause
harmful physical and psychological effects in children. Ultradent has
always maintained a BPA-free manufacturing requirement for its dental
sealants (UltraSeal XT® plus and UltraSeal XT® hydro).
“Ultradent does not use, nor do we plan to ever use bisphenol A
dimethacrylate (the primary precursor resin to BPA when used in dental
materials) in any of our resin dental products,” said Dr. Dan Fischer,
President/CEO of Ultradent Products, Inc. “Furthermore, we use the
purest form of Bis-GMA resin available for our Bis-GMA-based products.
Using highly sensitive analytic equipment, not even a trace of BPA can
be detected.”
Ultradent recently launched a website dedicated to BPA education. The website, http://www.ultrasealxt.com,
is the host for frequently asked questions about bisphenol A (BPA) and
its use in dental sealants. The tool is equipped with varied media,
including podcasts, a children’s development corner, and information
specific to Ultradent’s award-winning UltraSeal XT plus.
