FOREWORD
Dear Reader,
Metals are indispensable in dental prosthetics: They
are one of the most durable prosthetic materials
and have been well proven over many years. The
remanium® alloys have formed an integral part of
dental prosthetics for 80 years. As an engineer
and materials expert, I have been convinced of
this alloy for many years. I am therefore all the
more delighted to see this commitment confi rmed
through the ever increasing importance of non-
precious metal alloys today. At the same time, the
challenge of making the remanium® alloy fi t for a
future in prosthetics for our customers remains.
This remanium® Compendium provides you with
easy-to-read, valuable information and presents
the services offered by Dentaurum surrounding this
Dr. Jürgen Lindigkeit
metal alloy family. We hope that you will make use
Head of Development, of this offer and continue to support our efforts.

HISTORY

Advertisement from the company Arnold Biber in the year 1891 The founder, Arnold Biber
D
entaurum’s product range has changed
many times over the last 129 years of
company history. Not many dental products
have managed to successfully maintain their
position in the market over so many decades.
remanium® is a product that has continued to
advance and develop and has adapted to the
technical progress in dental technology. Today the
remanium® alloys are amongst the best known
dental products in the dental fi eld and look back
at a long product history.
The origins of Dentaurum
The origins of Dentaurum date back to the 19th
1886 century. In 1886 Arnold Biber founded a dental
laboratory in Pforzheim, which ultimately became
the Biber Dental Company. An advertisement from
the year 1891 shows the company’s product range.
It includes some innovative semi-fi nished products
and prefabricated parts but also an impressive array
of dental metals manufactured by the company
itself. Apart from precious metals, it listed a range
of “false dental metals”. This was a fi rst indication
of the non-precious metal materials which were to
play such a signifi cant role in the company’s future.
