Business Wire
On Friday, Sept. 18, 2009, the shareholders of Zila, Inc., a
dental products company providing products for use in the
prevention, detection and treatment of oral disease, approved the
company’s merger with a subsidiary of TOLMAR Holding, Inc.
These two innovative dental companies have now combined to offer
dental professionals an impressive line of dental care products.
Zila, a division of TOLMAR, as the new company is called, provides
a combined range of high-quality products surrounding consumable
home care products, in-office diagnostics, acute care products, and
prevention tools that allow dental professionals to effectively
treat patients to the highest professional standards.
Dental professionals will continue to have access to the Zila
products they are already familiar with such as the Rotadent®
automatic toothbrush, the award-winning Pro-Select Platinum®
scaler, and our deep line of products surrounding the Zila Soft
Tissue Management® program.
In addition, we are proud to offer ATRIDOX®, the only locally
applied antimicrobial that is clinically proven and indicated for
all three of these outcomes: gain in clinical attachment, reduction
in probing depth, and reduction in bleeding on probing. Also, we
are excited to continue the growth and market acceptance of our
innovative and cost-efficient oral cancer screening product,
ViziLite® Plus, which recently won a 2008 Hygiene Townie Choice
Award.
“The new Zila has the financial stability, experience, products,
and services to help dental professionals care for their patients
while contributing to the success of their practice,” said Mike
Duncan, CEO of TOLMAR.
