We shine a light on 4 of Kuraray’s most-loved DPS Best Products and members of its successful
CLEARFIL and PANAVIA product lines.

Despite getting its start in the early 1900s manufacturing synthetic fibers, today, Kuraray Noritake Dental is known to clinicians as a restorative powerhouse—especially to those who have relied on its advanced material science for years to achieve consistently successful restorations. One reason for Kuraray’s success is the company’s introduction of adhesive monomers to dentistry nearly 4 decades ago. Years of careful research ultimately led to the development of the MDP monomer, whose molecular structure yields greater adhesion and a stronger chemical bond to enamel, dentin, metal, and zirconia. It is the foundation of all products in Kuraray’s CLEARFIL™ and PANAVIA™ product lines, and likely what has led teams of clinicians to crown several of these materials as DPS Best Products.
