Dental covers equipment, implants, consumables and intraoral imaging sold to clinics and laboratories rather than hospitals. Dental dealers are a separate channel from hospital distributors, with their own wholesalers and trade shows. The segment usually has many establishments with small registration counts each.

Who holds the registration in Mexico
In Mexico the COFEPRIS sanitary registration is held by a Mexican entity, usually the distributor or a local holder of record. Transfers between holders are possible but slow, so decide the holder before signing.
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later. The Next 10 Markets report covers who holds the registration in each of your ten markets.
