A Reliable Brand Manufacturer of Dental Materials

YAMAMOTOA manufacturer of

Dental Porcelain-fused-to-Metal,Composite Resin for Crowns and Bridges And Precious Alloys for Dental Use

In order to develop new products, it is essential to

integrate various research fields. Our material

development is not limited to a single f ield such

as metallurgy for dentistry, organic chemis-

try and inorganic chemistry; rather, we

integrate these f ields with medical

studies and biology. Finding out

new possibilities and new

material characteristics is

a signif icant research

theme for us.

Quality Management System for Global Standard Compliance

We were audited and approved by the designated third

party TÜV SÜD, Germany, in order to obtain ISO 9001 and

ISO 13485 (Quality Management System of Medical Devices)

certif ication. We have realized an advanced high-level

quality management system as a manufacturer of Controlled

Medical Devices.

Regarding safety information from the production manage-

ment stage through to safety management post-marketing

surveillance:

In order to judge quality standards objectively, we set up an

independent sales monitoring system, under a marketing

supervisor-general. We have assigned a quality assurance

manager to the system, who is responsible for Good Quality

Practice; and we have also assigned a safety management

supervisor, who is responsible for Good Vigilance Practice.

We monitor all information reported to us from clinical prac-

tices.
