Our Story
Pulpdent is a family owned and operated dental research and manufacturing company established in 1947 and committed to its founding principles of education, prevention and proactive dental care so that people can live healthier and more productive lives.
Pulpdent’s research and product development is directed toward unlocking nature’s healing powers with bioactive materials that mimic the physical and chemical properties of tooth structure, behave favorably in the moist oral environment, and maximize the potential for remineralization.
Founding Principles
Pulpdent’s founder, Dr. Harold Berk, practiced dentistry for almost 65 years and taught on the faculty of Tufts University School of Dental Medicine from 1946 to 2005. Dr. Berk’s core principles continue to guide the company:
“It has always been my mission to save teeth and help my patients live in comfort and smile with confidence.”
“I start with the least invasive treatment plan, and if it should fail, there is always the option to take the next step.”
“I have learned that nature has tremendous healing powers, and one of my responsibilities is to create an environment that is favorable for the natural healing process.”
Made in USA
Pulpdent products are manufactured in Watertown, Massachusetts, USA in compliance with the company’s Quality System and all regulatory requirements. Each year we renew our commitment to investing in research and new technologies, earning the trust of the profession, inspiring clinicians with new ideas and materials, and providing the leadership to accomplish these objectives.

Quality Certificates
Pulpdent Corporation has held Certification to ISO 13485 and the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC since 1996. The Pulpdent Quality Management System has been assessed by its Notified Body, LNE/G-MED, and certified to the above standards and regulations as well as the requirements of the United States Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, Part 820, Quality System Regulation, and the Canadian Medical Devices Regulation for the design, manufacture and distribution of specialty products for the dental profession. While the ISO 9001 standard is a general model for a Quality Management System, ISO 13485 and the Medical Devices Directive are specific to the medical device industry and require stringent controls, such as formal risk management and an international vigilance system to protect both patients and health care personnel. Certification to the Medical Devices Directive allows Pulpdent to CE mark its dental products for sale in the European Community. Certification to the Canadian Medical Devices Regulations allows Pulpdent to hold Health Canada Licenses for the products sold in Canada.
