We ambition to create and develop high-tech medical devices that enable dentists and surgeons to implement less invasive, safer and quicker operating protocols that are less traumatic for their patients.
ACTEON® employs highly trained technical and sales teams based in 26 different offices around the world and has a distribution network that covers our markets in 94 additional countries.
ACTEON® focuses on two high added-value technologies that fall within a number of scientific domains and is the global pioneer of these technologies:
Mastering high-frequency ultrasonics, irreplaceable in dental treatments and specifically developed for high-precision osseous surgery, can only be obtained by the in-depth knowledge of all elements that make up a piezoelectric vibration system (generator, handpiece, and tip). All component parts of the acoustic system are manufactured in-house and ceramics are rigorously selected.
Our team has patented the Newtron® technology that controls the resonant frequency in real time at 36,000 times per second. This technology is the most sophisticated piezoelectric system on the market.
The practitioner benefits from a high-performance handpiece, which provides accurate and constant vibrations regardless of the pressure applied or the tissue being treated. The clinical procedure is more accurate and less tiring.
Possessing know-how in digital medical imaging enables us to constantly improve the digital view of the operative sites during micro dental surgery and medical endoscopy procedures.
Extra-oral imaging
Advances made in medical imaging inspire ACTEON® extraoral X-ray device development strategy. We define image processing algorithms used to determine the apparent image definition and which facilitate bone-density assessment, diagnostics, and treatment schedules.
Intra-oral imaging
Utilizing autofluorescence, ACTEON® diagnostic cameras superimpose an image of the tissue structure onto the anatomic image of the patient’s teeth. This feature makes it possible to detect decay, even at its earliest stages, without subjecting the patient to any unnecessary radiation. The images can be captured and stored into any imaging software giving the practitioner all of the tools necessary to practice minimally invasive dentistry.
Medical Imaging
We design perfectly connected and intuitive products to both anticipate the requirements of the surgeons and facilitate management in all specialist fields, and to simplify use at the operating table, whilst reducing the risk of error and stress for the operating theatre staff.
We also have developed a communication interface to enable the equipment to be controlled remotely and have integrated essential functions into the camera head.
Our two multidisciplinary R&D teams work very closely with our 4 industrial sites, all located in Western Europe (France and Italy).
