You Blue’ looking toward
‘Periodontics for 2019’ in
the West Ballroom Sunday
morning. Langer was one
of the first periodontists
trained in osseointegration
by Professor Per-Ingvar
Brånemark in 1983. His
development of new
modalities of therapy,
such as the early re-entry
procedure for bone grafts,
the ridge-augmentation
procedure, the
subepithelial connective
tissue graft and various flap
procedures for implants,
have become standard
methods of treatment and
are taught at dental schools
throughout the world.

the Japanese Academy of Clinical
Periodontology and the Japanese Society of Periodontology, this meeting is
a global experience you will be glad
you did not miss.
Here at the meeting, these four
academies have collaborated to provide a wide range of presentations,
all focused on the most current issues
in periodontology and its treatment.
In addition to hearing a world-class
roster of presenters, you will want
to save some of your time to really
explore the exhibit hall. More than
300 companies have come to Vancouver to present the newest products
and services designed specifically to
advance your practice.
Here are some highlights for your
time in the exhibit hall:
• Planmeca’s newest technology:
At booth No. 317, be sure to ask about
the Planmeca Viso imaging system,
which just launched this month. The
Viso system includes 2-D, 3-D and
optional cephalometric modalities,
and it’s designed to capture outstanding images at a low patient dose.
“When we started this project, our
goal was to create a CBCT system
that would offer a fluent workflow
and adaptability for different patient
sizes and indications — not to mention uncompromised image quality
even at the lowest doses,” said Timo
Müller, vice president of Planmeca’s
X-ray division, in a pre-meeting statement. “I am happy to say that we have
exceeded this goal.”
• Member Resource Center: Be sure
to visit booth No. 927 where you can
purchase AAP merchandise, including scrubs; learn about future meetings; take a complimentary headshot
complete with hair and makeup touchups; enter a drawing for a chance to

win $150 in free AAP merchandise;
and try your hand at Canada’s favorite
winter sport (hockey)!
• Experience the Versah difference:
Versah, booth No. 417, offers implant
clinicians an alternative to the use
of standard drills to prepare dental
implant osteotomies with Densah™
Bur Technology. Rather than excavating bone tissue, Densah Burs densify
bone through a process known as
osseodensification. This is a novel biomechanical bone preparation technique used to place a dental implant.
Consistent osteotomies and densification are important to implant primary
stability and early healing. Visit the

booth for a hands-on opportunity.
• Attention to detail: Dentsply
Sirona Implants’ SmartFix concept
for the Astra Tech Implant System
EV is designed with attention to the
smallest details — creating innovations that make a big difference
in helping you avoid workarounds,
while achieving optimal outcomes for
your fully edentulous patients. Find
out more at booth No. 601.
• Hands-on demonstrations: The
Nobel Biocare booth, No. 1101, has a
schedule of demonstrations where
you can test Trefoil™ and X-Guide™
out for yourself. Today’s sessions are
at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.

Leadership Staff
n The Center for Higher Ambition
Leadership (CHL) has awarded Henry

Company of the Year Award in recognition of the company’s commitment
to proving that business can be a force
for good.
The award was presented to Henry
Schein’s Chairman of the Board and
CEO Stanley M. Berman at a CEO member dinner in early October hosted by
CHL in New York.
CHL is a growing community of
purposeful leaders working together
to advance the practice and performance of leaders with a higher ambition. CHL supports members in building leadership and organizational
capabilities to sustainably deliver
superior economic and social value.
The Company of the Year Award
AD

will be presented annually to organizations that exemplify CHL’s mission
and demonstrate:
• A track record of delivering sustained value for their stakeholders;
• That higher ambition leadership
and practices are core to their culture
and demonstrated at every level; and
• Leadership among peers and a
commitment to creating and sharing
practices that others can learn from
and apply to their organizations and
the greater good.
“In the competitive field of health
care products and services distribution, Henry Schein stands out,” said
CHL Board Director Ed Ludwig. “Team
Schein demonstrates higher ambition values and practices in every
facet of its business. Most notably, it
has an intense commitment to building strong, trust-based relationships

suppliers to the communities around
them — all while delivering consistent
financial results over the long term
and much more.”
With more than 1 million customers, more than 22,000 employees
— known as Team Schein Members
— and $12.5 billion in sales in 2017,
Henry Schein is recognized for consistent, outstanding performance and
for “doing well by doing good.”
“It is truly an honor to accept this
award on behalf of the more than
22,000 Team Schein Members in 34
countries around the world,” Berg-

man said. “There is no question that
the road to Henry Schein’s long-term
success over the past 86 years has
been paved by our ability to develop
deep, trust-based relationships with
each of our five constituencies: our
team, our customers, our supplier
partners, our investors and society.
This notion of ‘doing well by doing
good’ really does work, and CHL
has provided an exceptional community of like-minded companies to
learn from and share our experiences
with.”
CEO members of CHL nominate
organizations to be considered for
Higher Ambition Leadership Company of the Year Award. The nominees are reviewed, and the winner
selected by the CHL Board of Directors. Visit the CHL website (www.

indicated for alveolar ridge reconstruction for prosthetic treatment
and recession defects for root coverage.
“Geistlich Fibro-Gide is one of the
major innovations in regenerative
dentistry in the last 20 years,” said Dr.
Daniel Thoma of Zurich, Switzerland.

In contrast to connective tissue
grafts, which are considered to be
the “gold-standard” in soft-tissue augmentation and recession coverage
procedures, Geistlich Fibro-Gide does
not require a second surgical site, is
ready to use and has an unlimited
supply.
“Unlike connective tissue grafts,
where you are limited by the patient’s
anatomy, Geistlich Fibro-Gide offers
variable thickness, allowing the clinician the opportunity to choose the
desired and optimal thickness for the
procedure,” said Dr. Alan Fetner of
Jacksonville, Fla.
Designing a preferred alternative
to the soft-tissue graft has involved
years of development and more
than 1,000 prototypes, the company
asserts, adding that Geistlich has
drawn from its vast experience in
researching, analyzing and commercializing collagen-based products

n SalvinOss Xenograft Bone Graft Material is a nonpyrogenic porous bone
mineral matrix for use in periodontal, oral and maxillofacial surgery.
SalvinOss is produced by removal of organic components from porcine
bone utilizing trade-secret multi-step chemical and thermal processes that
maintain the chemical and physical (i.e. – porosity) characteristics of native
bone.
SalvinOss can be mixed with sterile saline or the patient’s blood. It is
indicated for socket preservation and filling of intrabony defects, elevation
of the maxillary sinus floor, filling of periodontal and peri-implant defects
and augmentation of the alveolar ridge.

AAP Annual Meeting — October 29, 2018

INTRASPIN
n The IntraSpin™ is a chairside system for the production of platelet rich
fibrin (PRF).
The IntraSpin system establishes a three-step protocol for drawing and
centrifuging a patient’s blood, removing the fibrin clot and processing it in
the Xpression™ Fabrication Kit. A thin, compressed layer of PRF or plugs
for extraction sites can then be formed, using either the internal plate or
the piston assembly.
The IntraSpin is intended to be used for the safe and rapid preparation
of autologus PRF from a small sample of blood taken at the patient’s point
of care. The PRF can be mixed with autograft and/or allograft bone prior
to application to a bony defect for improving handling characteristics. It
requires only one centrifugation without pipetting, mixing, heating or
additives.
Every component of
the IntraSpin system has
been specifically selected
and engineered to act in
concert as a graft delivery. IntraSpin components
have been FDA cleared and
are optimized to ensure
proper material biocompatibility and clinical performance.
To learn more about the
IntraSpin, stop by the
BioHorizons booth, No. 1301,
here at the AAP.
