LYRA ETK is a French medtech company specialized in dental restoration. It integrates traditional implantology and new digital technologies to offer functional and aesthetic restoration solutions. LYRA ETK offers simple, safe and accessible digital dental protocols for the benefit of dentists, laboratories and patients. LYRA ETK is based at the heart of a state-of-the-art industrial site, the number 1 in France for micromechanics and screw-cutting, and controls all the manufacturing stages of its products. We are backed by France's leading dental supplies and equipment distribution group.
ETK was created in 1992 by an eminent dental surgeon and one of the first implantologists trained by Branemark: Dr Guy Huré, who wanted to offer a more accessible alternative to the major brands of implants, with the same guarantees of reliability. As one of the first user of the ETK implants, he undertook numerous studies, in particular with the histology laboratory in Angers, to scrupulously validate their performance.
The Stemmer family group has left its mark on the European dental distribution landscape with its values, impressed by accessibility and passion for what was Armand Stemmer's first profession: dentistry. Today, LYRA ETK is a key player in digital dentistry in implantology, orthodontics and prosthetics.
