About UsLifeCare¿s journey saving and enhancing lives began in 1986 in Cardiac Anesthesia, Cardio-Vascular, Cancer, and orthopedic surgical devices. The demand for implants for cancer patients and for other medical specialties became a proving ground resulting in LifeCare¿s specialization in dental implants and related devices utilized by the dental profession. It quickly became apparent that dental implants revolutionized the practice of dentistry and that untold millions of patients world-wide would take advantage of their benefits to enchance quality of life and often, life-span itself. In 1989-90 LifeCare introduced the IMZ implant system in India. Soon LifeCare realized that many dentists lacked current information required to perform implant dentistry and also include bone enhancement (augmentation and regeneration) techniques in patient care. Today this is still true, though to a lesser extent. Therefore LifeCare originated a plan to take dentists out of the country to prime sources for training and at the same time institute hands-on courses throughout India. Thus began LifeCare¿s journey, into education, and the formation of LifeCare Continuing Education. Today, several esteemed Indian implantologists are proud to say they trained with LifeCare Continuing Education. In 1992, LifeCare introduced the first at-home tooth whitening system with Opalescence and a range of esthetic dentistry products. LifeCare is proud that thousands of dentists were trained. In 1995 LifeCare gave up all its other products to focus on Dental implants and Bone Regeneration. It has been an exciting 16 years of bringing dental implantology within the reach of the average patient. It was LifeCare that introduced the first under Rs.3,000 implant in 1996, the EZ Hi-Tec implant; a US-FDA, CE-,ISO-9002, EN-14001 certified Implant System. The US-FDA certificate was granted in 1994. In 1997, EZ Hi-Tec was the first company in the world to introduce the Transitional Implant. The transitional implant concept has since evolved to clinically proven ¿Long-term Mini Implants,¿ placed in certain clinical situations for long-term use. In 2000, EZ Hi-Tec started developing a One-Piece Implant concept, originally thought of by its founder Director Mr. Ruumi Daruwalla. Named the TRX-OP, this one¿piece system with a built¿on abutment was introduced following extensive clinical trials. In 1997, LifeCare introduced ATR Physiodispensers in India. ATR¿s unique features made it an immediate absolute favorite. The latest is ATR¿s low-priced Model 2000 PLUS which has all the high end features including a 20:1 Implant Dentistry contra angle and variable speed control. ATR gave LifeCare the great honor of launching this new model in India first, before its world¿wide release. The guiding principles of LifeCare have always been to introduce products that are user friendly, predictable and NOT technique sensitive. The concept of LifeCare is to provide a one-stop solution for your needs in Implant Dentistry. These guiding principles led us to two great product lines to help solve certain current difficulties. First LifeCare selected the Endopore Implant System, introducing it in India in 1999. Sinus lifts and Subantral elevation and augmentation and implant placement are all too often integral to each other. |
