This is how laboratories
can benefit from digitisation
Amann Girrbach presents attractive gateways to the future at a virtual congress
By Amann Girrbach

evidently clear: the demand for direct straightforward restorations is
becoming increasingly greater. This
threatens to break down established
structures and traditional boundaries between the laboratory and the
clinician. However, digitisation is
ideally suited to expand the win-win
situation of dental technicians and
clinicians through new forms of collaboration. And the well-being of the
patient always remains the focus.

Digitisation is the key topic of the
future for the dental industry. No
doubt this necessitates change, but
it also offers lucrative opportunities.
Amann Girrbach will be showcasing
how these opportunities can be easily exploited from April 20 to 24 in
the innovative AG.Live CON virtual
congress. Renowned dental technicians and clinicians will meet with
leading minds in research to explore
the attractive avenues into advanced
digitization. Amann Girrbach will
not be participating to the usual
extent at the International Dental
Show IDS in Cologne in 2021, which
has been postponed to September.
For many years now, Amann Girrbach has been supporting dental
technicians in the digitisation of

their workflows with its innovative
power. Stemming from its pioneering role, the Austrian company also

supports laboratories and clinicians
in taking the next step towards
digital transformation. The trend is

To provide optimal networking for
both sides, Amann Girrbach has developed the AG.Live platform, which
is now being presented as part of the
virtual congress and expo. AG.Live
provides infrastructure and patient
case management with a level of
consistency and efficiency which
has never been achieved before. For
example, this will make it possible to

offer laboratory-quality direct restorations. And the expertise of the dental technician is permanently available to the dentist. Even in the case of
simple restorations, a joint decision
can be made quickly as to whether
direct implementation is possible or
whether the specialist in the laboratory is required.

Dentsply Sirona’s new Surefil one:
An innovation in restorative filling materials
By Dentsply Sirona
Direct posterior restorations make
up two thirds of all direct restorations in a dental practice1 and composite resin is the preferred material
of choice for these restorations.2 Yet,
one out of four cases can be defined
as challenging due to isolation control, patient compliance or the margin being sub-gingival.3 Due to the
technique sensitivity of resin-based
materials, composites are not the
material of choice for these situations. Surefil one from Dentsply Sirona now offers an ideal alternative
for these situations by providing the
convenience of a glass ionomer with
the durability of a composite.
A growing number of patients today
are requesting amalgam free restorations for aesthetic and environmental reasons. The alternatives to amalgam are resin-based composites or
glass ionomers. Composites require
complete isolation throughout the

A real alternative for treating patients with a tooth-colored restoration quickly, safely,
and permanently: posterior restorations with the new Surefil one.

entire procedure and have a sensitive adhesive technique to ensure
maximum adhesion is obtained
between the composite and tooth
structure. Because the composite
procedure can be time consuming
and isolation is critical, it is not the
preferred material for certain clinical situations. Alternatively, many
glass ionomers available today are
not indicated for use as a permanent
restorative material due to their inferior mechanical properties. This

can lead to premature failure and required re-treatment at the expense
of the clinician resulting in patient
dissatisfaction and practice inefficiencies.
Surefil one, an innovative filling
material, now offers an ideal alternative. Procedures can be performed
quicker than using composites with
a more durable outcome than glass
ionomers.4 Surefil one is available in
five shades: Bleach White, A1, A2, A3,
and A3.5.

Convenience and Durability
For the first time ever, the simplicity
of a glass ionomer and the durability of a resin-based composite have
been combined to create an entirely
new material class, the first ever selfadhesive composite hybrid.

Surefil one offers a real alternative for these situations by providing the convenience of
a glass ionomer with the durability of a composite.

Surefil one has an unlimited depth
of cure - providing assurance in very
deep cavities that a complete cure
will be obtained without layering. It
can also be light cured, so the restoration can be finished and polished
immediately after surface light curing. Studies have demonstrated
that Surefil one restorations are as
durable as a composite: in chewing simulations, it was shown that
after 500,000 cycles, no evidence
of fractures or damage was present

while the glass ionomers tested in
this chewing simulation partially
showed fractures after fewer than
100,000 chewing cycles. 5

ently unpredictable, Surefil one rises
to the task unlike any restorative
material we’ve had up to this point
in our profession”.

Shorter treatment time due to
faster, more efficient handling

Conversely, when the situation is
ideal, in approximately 3 out of 4
cases6, adaptation at the floor of the
proximal box becomes the critical
factor in determining success of the
restoration. In those scenarios, the
Dentsply Sirona Class II Total Practice
solution with market leading SDR
flow+ material is recommended.

Fewer steps in the procedure make
the restorative treatment even more
efficient and faster. With Surefil one,
dentists can fill a cavity in just one
layer, without etching or bonding,
minimizing the window of risk for
when contamination can occur during the procedure.
The reduced procedure time is a
clinical advantage especially in cases
where isolation is a challenge or patient compliance is not ideal.

Surefil one joins the trusted
Class II Solution family
Surefil one now joins the Class II Total Practice Solution from Dentsply
Sirona as the solution for challenging Class II situations. Acknowledging that the clinical requirements
for a successful Class II restoration
change based on the situation, the
treatment recommendations differ.
In challenging situations when isolation becomes the critical factor in
determining success of the restoration, the Class II Total Practice Solution with Surefil one from Dentsply
Sirona is an excellent solution.
“Surefil one is a great innovation for
the dental practice” said Dr. Chris
Campbell of Columbia, SC. “One of
the things we look for as dentists are
products that solve real-world issues
that we encounter each and every
day. Surefil one allows us to predictably restore teeth in compromised
clinical situations. Whether it’s difficult isolation, a challenging patient,
or any other situation that is inher-

Best of both worlds:
Opalescence PF
whitening for aligners
By Ultradent
Having a mouth full of misaligned,
yellowed teeth can be an intense,
even traumatizing experience. Folks
may spend years ashamed of their
smiles before they get to experience
the metamorphic powers of a smile
transformation. New Opalescence
PF whitening for aligners is made
for people who want to not only
straighten their teeth but to whiten
them at the same time.
The longtime dental assistant and
prolific lecturer Shannon Pace-Brinker has assisted countless patients
through their aligner journeys. She’s
also created hundreds of CE courses
featuring aligners. She says Opalescence whitening for aligners will help
legions of patients get the smile they
desire. “Now you’re giving [patients]
the best of both worlds. Not only are
you straightening their teeth, but
you’re making them whiter—which
go together.”
“There are a lot of perks. (Patients)
don’t have to take the tray in and out,
because the solution allows for longterm use and minimizes concerns
of sensitivity. Doctors don’t have to
fabricate new trays because the patient can use the aligner they were

going to be wearing anyway. It also
helps motivate the patient to keep
their aligner in their mouth—promoting compliance,” Pace-Brinker
says, adding that Opalescence whitening for aligners solution also keeps
teeth hydrated. “You’re covering the
teeth, so you have some water in
that solution, which is another perk.
That’s like a surprise, or a gift, to the
patient.”
Compliance is a huge factor in patient success with aligners. With
traditional brackets and wires, the
movement will be achieved because
the patient can’t remove them. With
aligners, a patient can simply take
them out. “We don’t want to give [patients] any reason to take [aligners]
out,” Pace-Brinker says.

their aligner, which keeps them in
compliance and maximizes the potential for movement of the teeth.
“The compliance factor is higher
(when using Opalescence whitening
for aligners vs. not) because if you’re
giving them a brighter smile, they’re
going to wear the tray more; because
they can easily see that result,” PaceBrinker says.
Pace-Brinker coaches practices whitening while straightening with aligners. She says many practices don’t realize that they don’t need to fabricate
additional trays for the whitening
solution. Opalescence PF whitening
for aligners works with the trays the
patients would be wearing anyway.
There’s also no special cleaning need-

Feeling sensitivity while whitening
with aligners could be a reason for
a patient to fall out of compliance.
With this in mind, Opalescence whitening for aligners comes in a mild
10% concentration. Patients can
comfortably wear the aligner with
the whitening solution throughout the day or night, for (up to) 8-10
hours/day throughout the duration
of the whitening treatment process.
Mitigating sensitivity issues minimize reasons for a patient to remove

Ergonomics and wellness at work
Tips for relieving and preventing the aches and pains
of working as a dental professionals

Does your body hurt more
than usual?
Dentistry has always been a profession that taxes the mind and the
body. But you may be noticing a few
more physical aches and pains lately,
especially if you are hand scaling—
instead of using ultrasonics—to reduce aerosol production.
If you’re like most dentists, it’s not
just your hands, wrists, and arms
that hurt. Your daily work can also
take a toll on your back, neck, shoulders, and legs. Dentists are at risk for
conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, repetitive motion injuries,
and even chronic headaches.
This pain can strike at any point during your career: Between 64% and
93% of dental professionals experience general musculoskeletal pain.
In fact, musculoskeletal disorders are
the leading reason for early retirement among dentists.

What causes musculoskeletal
pain and how can you prevent
it?
Repeat the same motions from patient to patient, day in and day out,
often in awkward positions is a recipe for pain and physical disorders
that can derail a career.
Here are three ways to avoid pain
and repetitive stress injuries:
1.
Better positioning (for yourself
and your patients)
2. Ergonomic instruments and
equipment
3. Simple wellness exercises

Proper posture and patient positioning

than the next leading competitor
and remain 50% sharper after 500
strokes.

The less bending, hunching, twisting,
craning, leaning, or reaching you do,
the less tension you’ll put on your
muscles, joints, and bones.

Wellness exercises to relieve
and prevent pain
Before you undertake any physical
activity—from a morning run to a
day of treating patients—it’s always
a good idea to warm up your joints
and muscles. Dental hygiene blogger
Whitney DiFoggio (writing as “Teeth
Talk Girl”) recommends a set of daily
stretches for dental professionals
that target the wrists, neck, shoulders, and back.

The proper position for working
with a patient is seated, with your
spine in a neutral position and your
shoulders relaxed. Work as close to
the patient as possible to avoid overextending your arms or back, and
always face the patient.
Keep your feet flat on the floor and
adjust your stool’s height so your
thighs slope slightly downward.
Think of yourself as a tripod, with
your weight evenly distributed
through each foot and your buttocks.
If you need a better view of the patient’s oral cavity, ask the patient to
turn their head, and use HD mirrors
to improve visibility. Keep your instruments at roughly arm’s height
and within a 21-inch radius of yourself. The patient’s body position
also has a tremendous impact on
your ergonomics. According to RDH
Magazine, the patient should ideally
be positioned supine for treating the
upper arch and semi-supine for the
lower arch, but this practice is often
impractical due to time constraints.
Instead, they recommend positioning the back of the patient’s chair at
a 10- to a 15-degree angle from the
floor. Then, use a contoured dental
neck cushion to achieve the proper
orientation of the occlusal plane.
Be sure to ask your patients to scoot
to the end of the headrest. This will
eliminate the need to reach over the
empty space on the headrest.

DiFoggio writes that she tries to
stretch as often as possible, between
appointments and any time there’s
a chance to move around. “A great
time to stretch is when you’re going in and out of the room to take an
FMX,” she says.

Ergonomic instruments and
equipment
Ergonomics should be a key consideration when choosing dental instruments and equipment for your
practice.
The Operator Stool
From an ergonomic perspective, the
operator stool is the most important
chair in the treatment room. Proper
positioning begins by adjusting the
stool first and the patient second.
Your stool should be adjustable, with
adequate lumbar, thoracic, and arm

AD

support. It should allow for a space
of three finger-widths behind your
knee. If your stool has a tilting feature, tilt the seat forward between 5
and 15 degrees. (If not, use an ergonomic wedge cushion.)
Saddle-seat stools may be the ideal
option – especially for shorter people. This type of stool maintains your
pelvis in a neutral position and allows the optimal curve of your spine.
Lighting
Another helpful piece of ergonomic
equipment is a loupe with a built-in
headlight. Loupes provide magnification so you don’t have to bend to
see the patient’s oral cavity better.
Headlights move with your gaze,
eliminating the need (and annoyance) to continually readjust the
overhead light.
Instrumentation
The instruments you choose can
also make a significant difference.
Look for an instrument with an ideal
weight and large diameter that provides a textured grip surface. These
instruments will be easier to maneuver and cause less hand fatigue while
probing, scaling, and root planing.
The science behind ergonomic design matters too. The new Harmony
Ergonomic Scalers and Curettes are a
good example.
The result of a cutting-edge iterative
research and development process
that analysed over 2.8 million data
points, the Harmony Scaler reduces
pinch force up to 65% and pressure
on the tooth by 37%. The handle features a recessed double-helix texture
for optimal tactile sensitivity with
less tactile fatigue. The silicone grip
has been extended 30% to provide a
secure and nimble grasp.
Another important factor in instrument ergonomics is the sharpness
of the blade. Sharp scalers require
less force to do the same amount of
work, which can help both you and
your patient be more comfortable.
Harmony Scalers and Curettes feature EverEdge 2.0 Technology. With
EverEdge 2.0 Technology, working
ends are 72% sharper out-of-the-box

A regular yoga practice can also
help you maintain your fitness for
work—and you don’t have to attend
in-person classes to reap the benefits.
Countless high-quality yoga videos
are available for free online, such as
the popular Yoga With Adrienne series on Amazon Prime. Notably, this
series includes a video of yoga tips
for the hands.

You’re not suffering alone
Keep in mind there’s no shame in
feeling pain, and you’re far from
the only one to experience this. The
good news is that a few changes to
your routine, posture, instruments,
or fitness regimen can do wonders
for your body and can potentially
add years of injury-free practice to
your career.

Imaging Reimagined
How technology can enhance practice
efficiency—and optimize time with patients
By Dentsply Sirona
Streamlining your imaging workflow paves the way for time and
cost savings in all of your procedural
workflows. That’s because imaging is
key to diagnosis and treatment planning—from general to specialty dentistry. In fact, the efficiencies made
possible by new imaging technolo-

gies can help you make the most of
every patient visit.

ance. It’s a win-win: a healthy practice, and more healthy smiles.

The possibilities should make both
patients and practitioner’s smile.
For example, using 3D imaging can
help reduce patient visits for implant placement by up to 50%. And
sharing images chairside can help
streamline and increase case accept-

These efficiencies extend to both extraoral and intraoral imaging, when
you use the Axeos 3D/2D imaging system and Xios AE intraoral sensor. Here

Palodent 360 is here
Place. Twist. Done. With the Palodent 360 Circumferential Matrix System
By Dentsply Sirona
Dentsply Sirona, the world’s largest manufacturer of professional dental products and technologies, introduces the new
Palodent 360 circumferential matrix system. This revolutionary new design means a twist of your fingers is all it takes
to achieve tight contacts with anatomically natural contours
without an awkward retainer or applicator. For better restorations, faster and easier than you ever thought possible. Success comes full circle.

Like the Palodent Plus sectional matrix system, the Palodent
360 circumferential matrix system has an anatomically
shaped matrix band to provide predictable, tight contacts
that replicate natural tooth anatomy. This means minimal
finishing of the restoration and improved outcomes.

No Separate Retainer or Instruments Needed

Efficient Restorations

AD

The integrated tightener/retainer
allows matrix placement and retention without the need for bulky retainers or accessory placement and
tightener instruments, allowing for
efficiency (no set up required), ease
of placement, better access, clear
view of the operating field and greater patient comfort.

Tackle the Most Difficult Cases
Palodent 360 circumferential matrix
bands can be for all Class II restorations, but especially difficult Class
II Cases when there is no adjacent
tooth, too much tooth structure is
missing to use a sectional matrix, or
if there is a mis-aligned or severely
rotated tooth.

More Efficient Core Buildups

Throw away
your Tofflemire.

NEW!

Using the Palodent 360 contoured
circumferential matrix bands results
in reduced time needed to drill less
material away to achieve the optimal
core build-up shape vs. creating the
right shape from scratch with less
coronal excess.

Compatible for use with Palodent Plus.
Palodent 360 matrix bands are compatible with Palodent Plus retaining
rings that can be used to gain temporary required space in tight interproximal spaces and also to further
stabilize and assist with proper embrasure form. They are also compatible with Palodent Plus wedges for an
optimal seal.
With the addition of the Palodent
360 circumferential matrix system,
the Palodent family of matrix systems can cover all posterior Class II
restorations.

Maximizing efficiency using 3M
impression products
Clinical Case Report

Introduction
Making an acceptable impression in
dentistry requires not only the use
of precision impression material but
also the use of adjunct materials to
help support the accuracy of the final impression. 3M introduced a line
of products that are intended to be
used together to maximize the efficiency of taking an impression while
offering predictablity to the clinican.
The following products were selected for this case:
• 3M Retraction Capsule
• 3M Intra-oral Syringes
• 3M Impression Trays
• 3M Imprint 4 Penta Heavy and Imprint 4 Light VPS Impression Material

Clinical Case
An 80-year-old male presented with
a fractured and decalcified upper
right canine (tooth #6). After reviewing clinical and radiographic findings it was determined that a full
porcelain crown was the best treatment of choice.
Initial impressions were obtained
including a template for temporary
fabrication, a study model and an
opposing full arch mandibular impression (using 3M impression tray).
After placing local anaesthetic, the
tooth was prepped for a full porcelain crown (Fig. 1). Prior to the final

impression, 3M retraction capsule
(3M) paste was injected into the sulcus of tooth #6 (Fig. 2). The retraction
paste contains 15% aluminum chloride and is intended to provide temporary tissue retraction and enable a
clean, dry and controlled sulcus. 3M
retraction capsule paste material can
be used alone or in conjunction with
retraction cord. The soft and narrow
tip of the 3M retraction capsule corresponds in size and shape to a periodontal probe; designed for direct
placement in the sulcus (Fig. 3).
While the retraction paste is in place,
a 3M impression tray (Fig. 4) is fitted.
The trays come in three sizes and require no adhesive. The self-retentive
strips are designed to direct the flow
of the impression material, minimizing defects and voids.
The 3M intra-oral syringe is loaded
with the appropriate amount of Imprint 4 Light (Fig. 5). The syringes are
single use, ergonomically designed,
and can be prepared in advance (Figures 6-7). The syringe is designed for
the loading of consistent amounts
of wash for both single and multiple preps. There are markings and
characteristics on the syringe that
will accommodate specific amounts.
Using the syringe is much easier
than trying to guide the 3M Garant
cartridge with extended mixing tips.
The 3M intra-oral syringe uses less
material and allows more accurate
placement.

Fig. 1. Prepared tooth #6

Once the Retraction Capsule material is placed, simply rinse the material at the time limit making sure no
residue remains in the sulcus.
Next, Imprint 4 material is extruded
from a Pentamix mixing unit into a
3M impression tray (Figure 8). Since
the 3M intra-oral syringes can be prepared in advance, the material can be
syringed around the prep while the
tray is being loaded. The tray is gently placed and allowed to set. Imprint
4 Light (regular set material) has a
maximum 1:00 minute intra-oral
syringing time at room temperature.
Intra-oral set time for Imprint 4
regular set material is 2:00 minutes.
When the impression is set, remove
it and check for blue residue and
excess pieces of impression ‘flash’.
These may be on teeth or soft tissue. The final impression (Figs. 9-10)
shows excellent marginal detail.
The colour contrast is easy to read,
crisp and accurate, with no delamination.
Worth noting: In addition to providing a precise impression medium,
Imprint 4 material (3M) has an active
self-warming feature that accelarates
the intraoral setting time. The setting time starts after placement and
speeds up with body temperature.
A temporary crown (Figure 11) is fabricated using the pre-prep impression template. The Imprint 4 impression and models were sent to the lab

where an all porcelain crown was
fabricated.
The patient returned 10 days after
the prep work for delivery of the
restoration (Figure 12). No complications or problems occurred during
temporization. The restoration was
tried in, adjusted and bonded into
place.
The patient is comfortable and
pleased with the final result. Figure
11. Temporary crown. Figure 12. Final
restoration.

Conclusion

These products are designed to be
used sequentially and gives the clinician confidence in accuracy of both
impression and final restoration.

The 3M products used in this restorative process helped create a beautiful
restoration. The materials and delivery system are excellent.

Patient-centric treatment with
composite Artistry
By Dr Melvin Sia, Malaysia
Direct restorations to date remain
the most common type of treatment
provided by dentists in routine clinical practice. With the advances in information technology and social media taking centre stage with the selfie
culture, there is an increase in oral
health awareness leading to a higher
demand for smile enhancements
with aesthetic restorations. Today
we see more and more patients
visiting the clinic with a common
request to enhance their smiles or replace discoloured old dental fillings
with more aesthetic, tooth-coloured
life-like restorations. Meeting patient
demands and expectations is something we have to address carefully as
its always important to provide the
desired aesthetic outcomes to our
patients while preserving maximum
healthy natural tooth structure for
the best long-term prognosis of the
restorative treatment. This holistic
treatment approach is best achieved
by adopting the Minimally Invasive
Cosmetic Dentistry (MICD) concept
and treatment protocol in routine
clinical practice.

The clinical case shared below explains an MICD restorative protocol
adopted for replacing a posterior
old amalgam restoration using the
Beautifil range of bioactive composite resin to achieve the patient’s desired aesthetic outcomes (Figs 1a, 1b).

Patient Case
A female patient visited the clinic
complaining of unsightly “silver”
coloured fillings on her lower molar
teeth and requested for replacement
with more aesthetic tooth coloured
fillings as she was embarrassed to
laugh with her mouth opened which
resulted in a lack of self-confidence.
Upon discussion of the treatment
plan, it was agreed to initially replace
only the first molar tooth due to her
limited budget.

Restorative Process
Rubber dam isolation has become
more mainstream in clinical practice
today providing the clinicians with
improved access and visibility during
the restorative process. After rubber
dam isolation the old amalgam restoration was removed and amalgam
tattoo was observed in the deeper
section of the cavity (Fig 2 & 3).

a 2 layer build-up technique was
used for this restoration (Fig 8). The

prevent secondary caries. I adopted
a simplified finishing and polishing
protocol to achieve the high gloss
enamel-like the lustre of the final
restoration as this step is key to increasing longevity for a long-lasting
restoration.

As there were minimal adjustments
of the occlusal surface a OneGloss
2in1 Smart Polisher was used with
more pressure for fine finishing followed by feather light pressure to
achieve the final polish. (Fig 10, 11)

Conclusion

After performing selective etching
with 35% phosphoric acid and application of the 7th generation bonding system BeautiBond, Beautifil
Opaquer shade UO was applied to
mask the discolouration at the base
of the cavity (Fig 4& 5& 6). The deep
dentin layer build-up was with Beautifil Injectable X shade A1O which
helps to apply the material exactly
where you need it with the convenience of injecting as you shade. (Fig 7)
After light-cure the build-up of dentin layer was completed with Beautifil II LS shade A3. As the translucency
of the dentin shade was sufficient

In order to achieve both the desired
aesthetics and function, material selection plays a very important role
when replacing old amalgam restorations as often discolouration
known as amalgam tattoo remains
on the tooth surface. In this patient
case where aesthetics were the first
priority a bioactive nano-hybrid
composite Beautifil II LS was selected
as an ideal choice since the sculptable non-tacky consistency and easy
blending of shades and polishability
helped to achieve the desired aesthetics while the bioactive properties
and low polymerization shrinkage
provided additional protection to

Direct composite restorations in
orthodontic indications
Concept and case reports
By Dr Sylvia Rahm, Germany
In the past, we used to prepare teeth and sacrifice tooth substance to protect our prosthetic work due to the required minimum wall thickness. Today we protect the teeth with additive,
adhesive restorations!
In our daily practice, we repeatedly perform restorations based
on orthodontic or anatomical indications.
There are different aplasias of permanent teeth, which is one
of the most common craniofacial malformations with a prevalence of approximately 1-11%. Here we encounter agenesis with
and without gaps or in the form of altered teeth - such as the socalled conical teeth in region 12 or 22. Often we also find persistent deciduous teeth with agenesis of the permanent dentition.
Apart from mandibular second premolar agenesis, the lateral incisors are the most frequent places where aplasia occurs - apart
from the wisdom teeth. In terms of the development process,
this results from the lip-jaw-palate cleft and is the smallest form
of this characteristic, which can also occur without the formation of a cleft. However, as this is in the visible and aesthetic region, the patient's desire for correction is considerable.
In the following cases, different options for restoration using
direct composite restoration techniques will be presented. Of
course, ceramic restorations are also possible, but considering
the young age of the patients, a minimally invasive therapy is
advisable. The teeth can still elongate during a secondary erup-

tion, which can lead to the preparation margins
becoming visible.
Orthodontists choose different therapeutic approaches. In some cases, gaps are closed, but the
trend tends towards keeping them open. This can
have consequences for the entire dental arch and
also for aesthetic rehabilitation.
There are different parameters to consider as to
whether the gap should be closed or kept open.
On the one hand, a micrognathic maxilla is more
likely to speak against a gap closure, as the distal
movement of the anterior teeth and mesial movement of the posterior teeth can result in an inverted anterior overjet. A compensatory extraction of
the lower premolars could be indicated. However,
in the case of a distal bite, compensation by closing
the gap can approximate the dental arches.
The profile of the patient should also be taken into
consideration. The upper lip tends to revert back
when closing gaps, which is more disadvantageous
with a concave profile type than with a convex
profile type.
If the necessary movement of the teeth is taken
into account, a penetration position of the canine
near the middle incisors tends to favour closing
the gap, a distance position tends to favour keeping the gap open.
The colour and shape of the canines are only of
limited importance, as both can be changed minimally invasively. Visually more challenging is the
gingival profile, which can be positively influenced
by orthodontic intrusion or extrusion.

Nonetheless, the changed position
of the canine teeth often results in a
less favourable dental arch or leads
to gaps between the canines and the
premolars. The transition in the buccal corridor is altered and narrows
the visual appearance. This should
also correspond to the width of the
nose and the shape of the face.
The following cases show that significantly improved results can be
achieved by additive restoration
with composite, even under unfavourable conditions. In most cases
this is also possible without preparation of the tooth structure.

Case presentations
The timing of the intervention may
vary. In the case of reduced conical
teeth, it may sometimes prove difficult for the orthodontist to position a
bracket at all. It is therefore necessary
to build up the teeth prior to orthodontic treatment to be able to move
the teeth correctly and thus to set the
correct axial direction and position
in the arch.
This can be achieved quite easily
with BRILLIANT COMPONEER or a
direct composite build-up with BRILLIANT EverGlow. In this case (Figs. 1 –
6; page 2) there were two differently
developed, reduced lateral incisors,

which were additively restored prior
to orthodontic treatment and subsequently provided with brackets.
After building up the incisors, orthodontic treatment could be performed and completed. Due to their
impeccable optical appearance, the
COMPONEER veneers can remain in
the mouth after removing the brackets.
In a second case a 14-year-old female
patient presented following recommendation after orthodontic treatment had already been completed
(Fig. 7).
The initial situation was a unilateral
aplasia of the left lateral incisor, a
mesially erupted canine, so that the
deciduous canine could be preserved
in its position. The gaps were closed,
however the patient regarded the
interincisal larger retractions and
triangular formations in particular
as displeasing. The different shade of
the more saturated canine was less
relevant for her.
We opted for an additive structure of
the teeth. Unfortunately, the width

of the canine was greater than that
of the contralateral lateral incisor, so
that small lateral deviations could
not be avoided as non-invasive surgery was specified (Fig. 8).
On tooth 12, the incisal edge was
lengthened slightly and the edge was
straightened. A stronger mesial lightreflecting ridge was applied with
enamel masses to create a larger appearance.
Tooth 23 was also lengthened to an
edge incisally, the lateral facets were
filled in and the marginal ridges were
shaped. To avoid a greyish appearance due to too much enamel, it was
necessary to add Universal shade A1/
B1 to the BRILLIANT EverGlow Translucent enamel masses.
The deciduous canine was lengthened significantly and built up vestibularly to ensure a transition into
the buccal corridor. Minor gingivectomy was necessary cervically to create an aesthetic garland profile.

We are aware of the paradigm that
form is decisive for aesthetics - as
opposed to colour. Once the macroscopic shape has been realised, close
attention must be paid to the micromorphology, particularly in young
patients.

In a further case the canines were
pulled to the second position, however
these canines were rather delicate and
symmetrically placed. The white decalcification present around the brackets
on the vestibular surface created an additional problem (Figs. 11 - 12).

And this is where the special properties of the composite material become relevant. BRILLIANT EverGlow
is an extremely supple and easy to
shape composite, which can be processed well and delicately with very
thin Heidemann spatulas, brushes
and pads, yet still remains dimensionally stable.

Here we had to deviate slightly from
the non-invasive concept and work
from micro-abrasively to minimally
invasive. Therapy planning was as
follows: The middle incisors were prepared micro-abrasively and restored
only with BRILLIANT EverGlow
Bleach Translucent. The canines were
transformed completely vestibularly
with BRILLIANT EverGlow A1/B1 and
Bleach Translucent as the patient
wished for a whitening effect. The interincisal retraction of the premolars
was also minimised in terms of optical appearance. The mesial marginal
ridge was highlighted for light reflection purposes and was converted
to more transparent enamel ridges
in terms of colour - resembling the
natural tooth (Figs. 13 - 14).

Once we have implemented the micromorphology (Fig. 9), a little polishing is sufficient to achieve a captivating and durable gloss.
This is very important as all the light
reflection characteristics otherwise
often disappear again due to too
much polishing and the tooth appears rather lifeless (Fig. 10).

In cases where the gap is to be kept
open early, composite teeth can be
included in the gap using brackets
at the beginning and then followed
by inserting a single-wing Maryland
composite bonded bridge. This can
also be regarded as a longterm provisional restoration to keep the gap
free for a future implant. The implant should not be placed too early
as it remains in it position but the
jaw continues to grow. This gives it
a much too caudal position and the
alveolar ridge develops a concavity,
which is difficult to remedy with renewed bone augmentation.
Milled, single-wing composite Maryland bridges have the same flexural
strength due to a tooth-like modulus of elasticity, which supports
prolonged durability. One can still
colour the bridge individually with
stains or have it milled in cutback
design and veneered with individual
layers.

Late intervention
Even at an advanced age, we can realise aesthetics in a minimally invasive manner, even if it has not been
practised in this case by colleagues
before. Thus, this female patient presented in my practice with the notion that no improvement could be
achieved without extracting teeth,
crowns or implants (Fig. 15).
Several problems were posed at once
here:
•
Agenesis of the lateral incisors
without orthodontic gap closure
•
Downward opening diasthema
•
Teeth very prominent in terms
of colour with enamel stains
and decalcification as well as
brown discolouration
•
Surface-structured teeth with
asymmetrical abrasion of the
incisal edge
•
Beginning periodontitis with
loss of the papillae
•
Deep bite with protrusion
If one wants to close the diasthema,
one has to consider the biological
width so that the papilla has the opportunity to grow up to the contact
point.
In this case, an elongated contact surface needs to be established in order
to reach relatively far to cervical. In
addition, the gap must be closed in
the form of small wings. These have
to be fitted exactly to the gingiva to
make it look as if the tooth also has
a wider root. If one leaves a slightly
larger bar in the rubber dam between the two middle incisors, one
can model directly on the rubber
dam.

Due to the pronounced micromorphology of these teeth, it is important to extend these into the diasthema. The whitish coloured band must
also be continued, otherwise the widening of the teeth looks artificial.

Of course, such cases can also be

we are to protect the patient's tooth
and, for the benefit of the stability
of our restoration, not remove any
hard tooth substance.

Australian CPD Requirements

Conclusion

Dental practitioners in Australia are required to complete a minimum
of 60 hours of CPD activities over a three-year CPD cycle (current cycle
ends Wednesday 30th November 2022).

Using the BRILLIANT EverGlow composite, its very natural shades and
the natural layering technique of
opaque, universal and translucent
shades, we can achieve invisible
adhesive direct restorations. Due
to their excellent polishability and
good material properties, they are
very durable on the one hand, and
on the other hand, the patient can no
longer distinguish between a restoration or his/her own tooth.

Periodontitis increases risk of bacteria in
donated blood
By Franziska Beier, Dental Tribune
International
COPENHAGEN, Denmark: Recent
research from the University of Copenhagen and Næstved Hospital in
Denmark has demonstrated that
periodontitis leads to an increased
risk of bacterial contamination of
donor blood. The study findings indicate that bacteria originating from
the oral cavity evade the routine
screening systems commonly used

by blood banks. Despite this, the researchers emphasised the safety of
blood donations.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately
120 million blood donations are collected globally per year. On average,
six to 68 people per 1,000 inhabitants donate blood in Europe—Denmark being the country with the
highest blood donation rate. To avoid
infection from donated blood in re-

cipients, WHO recommends that all
blood donations should be screened
for infections such as HIV, hepatitis
B, hepatitis C and syphilis. According
to the University of Copenhagen, all
donor blood in Denmark is screened
for hepatitis and HIV to reduce the
risk of transfusion-transmitted infection.
A considerable number of the global
population has periodontitis, and
studies have increasingly linked this

disease to other systemic diseases.
Therefore, the researchers aimed to
determine whether periodontitis,
which often causes transient bacteraemia, may be associated with viable bacteria in standard blood donations.

searchers tested donor blood samples using different methods, including the same method as blood banks
(oxygen-rich incubation). They also
isolated the red blood cells and investigated growth under oxygen-free
conditions.

As the risk of developing periodontitis increases with age, the research
team analysed blood samples from
60 donors over the age of 50, 62%
of whom had periodontitis. The re-

In a university press release, lead author Dr Christian Damgaard, associate professor at the Department of
Odontology of the University of Copenhagen, explained that the team
had made an important observation:
“None of the samples studied by the
usual screening method showed
bacterial contamination; thus, these
products would have been approved
for transfusion. On the contrary,
when we studied the same samples
using our more advanced method,
we actually found viable bacteria in
the blood.”

The researchers also found that the
risk of bacterial contamination increases if donors suffer from periodontitis. “Our results show a 6.4
times higher prevalence of viable
bacteria in the blood donated by donors suffering from periodontitis
compared to donors not suffering
from periodontitis. That is a highly
significant difference,” said Damgaard.

Donor blood still considered
safe
The present study is an important
contribution to the quality control
of donor blood. However, the researchers stress that it is currently
unknown whether the observed
bacterial contamination has any
clinical consequences. According to
co-author Dr Susanne Gjørup Sækmose, consultant at the Department
of Clinical Immunology of Næstved
Hospital, clinical experience shows
that receiving donor blood is generally safe.
She commented: “Patients can safely
receive blood transfusions. In Denmark, we conduct around 360,000
blood transfusions a year, and infections due to blood transfusions are
extremely rare—with less than one
per year on average. In addition, we
have a national system for monitoring side effects.”
It is important to identify risk factors
such as periodontitis that may lead
to bacterial contamination. Even
though donors report any diseases
that they may have that may affect
blood quality to the best of their
knowledge, few consider periodontitis a relevant disease and therefore
might not inform the blood bank
about it, said Sækmose.

She added: “Our study suggests that
we may have to develop new methods for efficient screening of donor
blood in the future. But really, the
most important point is to make
sure that everyone sees the mouth
as a part of our organism. Basically,
diseases in the mouth may affect our
overall state of health.”
The study, titled “Periodontitis increases risk of viable bacteria in
freshly drawn blood donations”, was
published online on 2 February 2021
in Blood Transfusion, ahead of inclusion in an issue.

Dentsply Sirona continues to empower
women in dentistry
ager, Dentsply Sirona Implants. Since January 2021,
the Female Speaker Development Program is in its
second round. There was
already a waiting list from
the first round! This time,
the program also covers
the areas of imaging, pediatrics, dental assisting and
orthodontics.

By Dentsply Sirona
As the world's largest manufacturer
of dental products and technologies
for dentists and dental technicians,
Dentsply Sirona is strongly committed to the advancement and needs
of women in dentistry. Choose to
challenge: The motto of this year's
International Women's Day underlines the importance of equal rights
for women and men in an everchanging world. A challenged world
is an alert world and from challenge
comes change. Each year, Dentsply
Sirona supports various programs
and events that encourage women's
professional development and celebrate women's achievements.
This year’s International Women’s
Day theme highlights the importance of collective action and shared
ownership for driving gender parity.
Under the hashtag #ChooseToChallenge, this year's campaign highlights how individual and collective
efforts can contribute to positive
change and empower women in society. International Women's Day on
March 8 is an opportunity for Dentsply Sirona to both demonstrate and
further strengthen its own commitment to gender equality in the dental world. The various internal and
external programs and events that
support women in their career development range from female speaker
development programs, competitions for visionary treatment concepts and outstanding achievements in research to networking
opportunities and the exchange of
experiences at panel discussions and
conferences.
“We want to support women in
dentistry by more thoroughly understanding their needs and advancing their skills, and thereby making
dentistry even better,” explains Lisa
Yankie, Senior Vice President, Chief
Human Resources Officer and Communications at Dentsply Sirona. “Additionally, we want to support their
professional development and encourage and acknowledge their outstanding achievements in research
and development, entrepreneurship, mentorship, and education.
These efforts align with our overall
purpose to empower dental professionals all over the world to provide
millions of patients with better dental care and make people smile.”

Smart Integration Award 2021
The Dentsply Sirona Smart Integration Award for innovative women in
digital dentistry plays a special role
among these programs. The award
recognizes inventive ideas as well as
successful and visionary treatment
concepts from women in dentistry.
This includes new concepts or stories
of how female dentists inspire their
patients in therapy and diagnosis or
how they envision optimally connected and efficient workflows in
the practice and dental laboratory of
tomorrow. It is also a reflection of the
company's commitment to incorporating the skills and expertise of
women into product development
more than ever before. The award
was created by Dentsply Sirona and
presented to the winners for the first
time in November 2019. In total, 24
female award winners were recognized for their unique success stories
in making workflows at treatment
units more efficient and convenient.

Dr. Tara Aghaloo, Assistant Dean for Clinical Research, UCLA School of
Dentistry, participant of
the first Female Speaker
Development
program,
summarizes: "One of the
things I wanted to get
from this program was to
build my confidence. It
has really helped a lot to
get these new techniques.
The second objective was
to become aware of where

Dentsply Sirona Women

The winners of the first Smart Integration Award at the ceremony in Heidelberg, Germany in 2019.

The application phase of the second
Dentsply Sirona Smart Integration
Award for interested female dentists
begins on April 12. This year, not only
dentists but female dental technicians are invited to apply for the
award to present their best dentistlaboratory cooperation.
“The initiation of the Smart Integration Award is an expression of how
we accept the challenge, embrace
change and move forward together”, says Susanne Schmidinger, Vice
President Global Brand Marketing
& Clinical Affairs Equipment and Instruments at Dentsply Sirona. “The
dental profession is becoming increasingly female. We therefore work
together with female and male dentists in the development of products.
It is important to engage in dialog
and listen to all customers’ needs in
detail. This is the only way we can
continue to offer high-quality solutions in the future. Only when the
different perspectives in the dental

profession become transparent is it
possible to further develop the technological solutions offered.”
Dr. Cécile Gütermann, winner of
the Smart Integration Award 2019,
Zurich, Switzerland: “We really liked
the concept of the Smart Integration
Award. It's great that such publicity
is being created for the many successful women in our field. After all,
it is still the case that some women
tend to be more reserved are often
not used to presenting their achievements. Against this background, it's
even better that the success stories
of female dentists from all over the
world are visible through the award
and that women are motivated to
show what they can do.”

Female Speaker Development
Programme
Another program successfully implemented by Dentsply Sirona to
promote women in dentistry is the
Female Speaker Development Pro-

gram. The program was launched in
March 2020 by Dentsply Sirona Implants. The goal is to offer personal
development for female dentists,
specialists and dental assistants and
promote them as speakers, whether
they are experienced or new to
speaking. This promotion includes
strategy, script and style. In the first
round, which was held virtually because of the pandemic, ten women
had the opportunity to work with a
speaker coach, Elisabeth Bachman
and further develop their material
and overall confidence. Six of them
committed to conducting a webinar
series by women for Dentsply Sirona. These webinars had 1,403 views
of the recordings after the live presentations and there was a significant
increase in the percentage of women
among the attendees. “Many women
like to see someone who looks like
them speaking and we would like
to be the leaders in creating gender
parity across the industry.” says Lisa
Thoms, DDS, MSD, FACP, Sr. Man-

Within Dentsply Sirona, there are
numerous Employee Resource
Groups (ERGs), groups of interest
to support employee diversity and
inclusion, sponsored by the company itself. DS Women launched in
October 2020 is one of them. It has
gained over 500 members from 30
nations. The mission of DS Women,
led by Tiffany Readinger, Dentsply
Sirona Women Global Chairperson,
is to empower all women to excel
to their fullest potentials. It does so
by creating a forum of support and
growth through enabling channels
of advocacy, talent development and
resource sharing. The group is inclusive of all gender identities and its
defined goal is to see more females
in senior level roles, owning practices
and taking center stage. “Building a
diverse organization starts with creating a culture that celebrates people’s unique experiences and challenges,” says Melanie Jenkins, Senior
Global Manager Diversity & Inclusion and Early Career Programs and
member of Dentsply Sirona Women
ERG. “Providing a space for women
to discuss equality, celebrate their
achievements and propel awareness
is key to building a more inclusive
workplace where women’s voices are
heard, valued and engaged.”

How diseases change standards in dentistry
By Monique Mehler, Dental Tribune
International
LEIPZIG, Germany: In the 1980s,
HIV—which causes Aids—modified
the practice of oral healthcare. Now
40 years later, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought on similar changes, such as the improved use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

allel effects of HIV and SARS-CoV-2
on dentistry. Among other things,
they looked at changes in PPE measures. To do that, they interviewed 45
local dental professionals, who all
stated that, without a question of a
doubt, dentistry could currently not
be practised without the use of protective gloves and masks as a minimum.

A 2020 study by researchers from
the University of British Columbia
in Canada has investigated the par-

One of the study participants, a certified dental assistant, explained that
barehand dentistry was the norm

until the arrival of HIV: “When I
first started we didn’t use masks or
gloves. But that all changed—we
were all tested for HIV. And we were
very mindful of that and that was
when we started wearing glasses, and
masks and gloves. Now you would
never consider working on somebody without any of it.”
In an interview with Dental Tribune
International, European Federation
of Periodontology President-Elect
Prof. Lior Shapira shared his experi-

ences during his long and successful career in dentistry: “When I was
a student many years ago [laughs], I
was working without gloves, masks
or gowns and then HIV appeared.
And then we learned how to protect
ourselves from that virus through
improving PPE measures. Today, I
could not even imagine thinking
about treating a patient without
gloves, but back then, it was normal.”
“And now the same is happening
with the coronavirus, and I think

AD

the most important lesson we have
learned from it is the realisation that
dental professionals need to fully
protect themselves. Especially when
performing aerosol-generating procedures, we will use gowns and caps,
N95 masks—which we didn’t use
before—and a face shield on top of
it all. All these improved measures
are probably here to stay and will
become the new standard of care,”
he added.

COVID-19 pandemic more difficult to handle
During the height of the HIV/Aids
pandemic, oral healthcare providers
were especially cautious of avoiding
contact with blood during procedures. Now, with COVID-19, the concern is heightened because the virus
is airborne and spreads through
droplets and aerosols, which are everywhere whenever care is provided.
The Canadian scientists explain that
this concern is chiefly influenced “by
a lack of a full understanding about
transmissibility and the perceived
impact of the virus on the cost and
time associated with minimising or
eliminating the risk of transmission
within a dental setting”.
Like many other governmental bodies around the world, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is part of the US
Department of Labor, has released
guidance for dentistry workers and
employees on its website. OSHA’s
PPE standards are not a new legal
obligation but include recommendations that should be executed in
the workplace to protect patients
and staff from potential transmission. As mentioned by Prof. Shapira,
OSHA also lists disposable N95 filtering face piece respirators, gowns and
face shields certified by the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health as appropriate PPE ensemble.

A glimpse of what is to come
The general public is hoping that the
coronavirus pandemic will be over
at some point—preferably sooner
rather than later. However, a recent
survey conducted and published
by Nature put a damper on that. It
showed that “scientists expect the virus that causes COVID-19 to become
endemic, but it could pose less danger over time”.
In the article, Dr Jesse Bloom, an evolutionary biologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle
in the US, suggested that SARS-CoV-2
will probably become “a less serious
problem and something like [the]
flu”. Nevertheless, he also said that
some people will still develop serious symptoms.
Just like HIV or any other disease that
has heavily struck society, the coronavirus is here to stay in one way
or another and will therefore have a
lasting impact on the use of PPE in
dentistry.
