Dental implant company Dentsply has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 (£0.03) per share of common stock.
This is an annual rate of $0.20 per share, which will be payable to holders of record on January 9th next year.
The group manufactures dental prosthetics, precious metal dental alloys, dental ceramics and endodontic instruments for the cosmetic surgery industry and sells its products in over 120 countries.
In addition, the group is also responsible for supplying cosmetic dentistry professionals all over the world with dental handpieces, x-ray film holders, film mounts, impression materials and bone substitute/grafting tools.
Earlier this week, Dr Scott LeSueur and Dr Charles Dodaro from Arizona stressed that there are two types of dental implants which those who struggle with dentures may want to consider.
They commented that mini implants can be placed in a single procedure, while traditional versions can replace each tooth individually or a act as a bridge and full denture.
