Parkell.

Parkell's about page says Alex Mitchell and Carl Parker founded the company in 1948 and that design and manufacturing still take place on Long Island. The contact block lists Parkell, Inc., 300 Executive Drive, Edgewood, NY 11717, toll-free 800-243-7446 and telephone 631-249-1134. The page says the company was family-owned for more than 65 years and in 2016 joined Directa Dental of Sweden.

A 75th-anniversary release hosted on parkell.com quotes president David Mott and says products are sold in more than 60 countries. It names TurboSensor ultrasonic scalers and 25K and 30K magnetostrictive inserts, Blu-Mousse bite registration, the Predicta Bioactive restorative family, Dryz gingival retraction paste, the Digitest 3 pulp tester, Brush and Bond, C and B Metabond, Cinch impression materials, SNAP self-cure resin, SmarTemp temporary crown-and-bridge material, the Sensimatic electrosurgical device, and AccuFilm articulating film.

The about page repeats that device list in shorter form: TurboSensor ultrasonic scaler, Digitest 3 pulp vitality tester, and Sensimatic 700SE electrosurge, plus Predicta materials, Blu-Mousse, Dryz, Brush and Bond, and SmarTemp. Foramatron apex locators appear in Parkell's older product literature and in a Dentaltown company profile. If Foramatron is still on your quote, confirm the current model number with Edgewood, because the anniversary release's device list does not feature that name.

Parkell manufactures both electronics and chemistry. A scaler insert, a pulp tester, and a bioactive composite do not share instructions. Keep the device manual and the material IFU separate when you standardize the brand across the office. The anniversary release also says Parkell sells through distributors and through a European subsidiary, and that magnetostrictive inserts are handcrafted in 25K and 30K sizes. Insert frequency has to match the scaler, so a 30K insert is not a spare for every TurboSensor setup. The about page still prints fax 631-249-1242 next to the Edgewood telephone numbers.

Parkell suits a practice that wants Long Island-built scalers, pulp testers, and chairside materials from one manufacturer and is comfortable buying direct or through a dealer. Ultrasonic scalers are compared on the ultrasonic scaler guide.

Apex locators and curing lights are categories Parkell has sold. Use the apex locator and pulp tester guide and the curing light guide when those devices are the purchase.

Predicta, Blu-Mousse, Dryz, and SmarTemp are materials. TurboSensor, Sensimatic, and Digitest are devices. The 2016 Directa relationship did not merge those IFUs into one document.

Desensitizers are their own comparison. The desensitizer guide fits Predicta Desensitizer and similar products. Impression and bite materials are closer to the alginate and impression guide only when the question is an impression material, not a bite mousse.

Use 300 Executive Drive, Edgewood, NY 11717, and 800-243-7446 for US and Canada, as printed on the about page. Ask whether a given SKU is still built on Long Island. The anniversary release says most design, engineering, manufacturing, and service work happens in the United States.

Directa's Swedish ownership link is stated as a 2016 combination. It does not change the Edgewood address on the contact block. Confirm warranty support stays with Parkell for the device you are servicing.
