In 1970 Anton Simor developed and patented the solid-state diaphragm logic block which was the heart of the dental unit.
The president of the company, Mr. Anton Simor, started his career in the industry in 1971 to commercialize an innovative dental delivery system technology, which he patented as the pilot system for fluid delivery. Pictured is the first Dental Unit manufactured which was mounted to the armrest of a dental chair.
In 1974 Anton introduced his first ever Dental Chair.
In 1976, he simplified the handpiece hanger by replacing a valve by a simple bleed air surface. Pictured is one of the first ever built valve-less handpiece hanger, this was later adopted and is still in use by the leading manufacturer in the industry.
Anton developed in 1982 a Dental Unit that pivoted around the toe-board of the patient chair and supplied a number of them to the University of Florida. This picture is one of the original units manufactured. This development became an industry standard and is the current design offered by Global Dental Direct.
In 1988, he lead the way by removing controls from the unit head to provide a completely smooth aseptic surface as well as introducing a single point quick disconnect unit head .

Among others he was the first to introduce the non mechanical handpiece and airbrake activation, the built in disposable exhaust filter traps and the truly unique, multi-point pivoting movement providing backrest position compensation for the patient chair.

He contributed with product development to Den-Tal-Ez Corporation, J. Morita Corporation, KaVo Manufacturing Corp. and most recently to Global Dental Direct Corp.
