Overview

Medentika is the least visible of the Straumann Group’s implant brands to patients, because most of what it makes is prosthetic components rather than implants — and much of it is designed to fit other manufacturers’ implants. That is an unusual position for a business inside a major implant group, and it is why Medentika turns up in laboratory paperwork more often than on treatment plans. It also produces its own titanium implants. The 51% stake Straumann took around 2013 was explicitly non-controlling, which is why the group only began consolidating Medentika’s accounts from 2017 — a distinction that trips up summaries treating 2013 as the acquisition date.

Regulatory record

Read this before drawing conclusions. A clearance or certificate means a device may legally be sold in a market. It is not a finding that the implant performs well, and it is not a comparison against other implants. In particular, FDA "clearance" is not FDA "approval" — clearance means the FDA accepted the device as substantially equivalent to one already on the market. What these actually mean →

Other3 records

Registered device establishment in Germany. Registration records where a device is made or handled; it is not a clearance, an approval, or any assessment of the product.

Clearance records for Medentika were retrieved from the issuing authority's own database, not from the manufacturer's marketing material. We attribute a clearance to a brand only when the filing holder belongs to that brand's corporate family — third-party clearances for compatible components are excluded, because they belong to the company that made the component, not to Medentika.
