Aalba Dent

Safety Proven...Your Assurance QUALITY CONTROL - CCQ At Aalba Dent there is no step more important than Quality Control. Our stringent quality control process guarantees batch to batch consistency and allows Aalba Dent to deliver the reliabity demanded by quality dental laboratories worldwide. Aalba Dent is in perpetual search of the best ingredients. Our nickel, produced via the carbonyl process, has the lowest metallic impurity content of any commercial nickel. We select premium electrolytic cobalt, high purity chromium, and OFC high-purity CE 0470 copper. Once these exotic ingredients reach Aalba Dent, every element is checked to certify individual purity before entering the process to become Aalba Dent-approved dental alloys. Products designated with the CCQ mark are certified by Aalba Dent as continuous cast products from our proprietary state-of-the-art continuous casting technology. Products produced from this process exhibit unparalleled homogeneity, precise alloy chemistry and lower gas content. The European harmonized system for the assessment of conformity under the Medical Device Directive (MDD) requires all Class IIa medical devices marketed in the European Union (EU) to have CE marking. Under the Directive 93/42/ECC the notifying body Nemko AS has determined select Aalba Dent casting alloys and soldering products to be in compliance. Medical devices used in dentistry, assessed by Nemko AS to be in conformity with the requirements of the MDD, may be marketed throughout the EU and the other countries that are signatories of the European Economic Area agreement (EEA). 6
