The company
was founded by Heinz Mack, a practising dentist in Munich, Germany.
Continuing education courses w ere given all over Europe on
the subject of occlusion and TMJ. The teachings demonstrated
that there was a need for a new articulator system.
Heinz Mack and his developmental team decided to make a new
articulator, they decided to use the Munich Dental School as
a testing site and therefore called it School Articulator Munich
(SAM).
It was an immediate success and the instrument became the articulator
of choice for the dental schools, practising dentists, and for
the courses on occlusion and TMJ.
As the demand for continuing education expanded additional SAM
products were developed such as the AXIOGRAPH
which one of the first instrument systems to be able measure
the amount of Bennett Side Shift in patients.
The SAM
company is always on the cutting edge of dentistry and develops
new products on an ongoing basis.
All SAM
products are developed and manufactured exclusively in Germany.
To determine and meet this ongoing need SAM
has founded the CDE (Center of Dental Education) in Gauting,
a suburb of Munich. Experts in all areas of dentistry provide
state of the art education in this center and also special end-user
training.
