INSIDE from page 1 3 7 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.

Made from Type I and Type III collagen, Geistlich Fibro-Gide is smart-linked, a unique form of crosslinking, which provides elasticity, strength and volume stability, according to the company. Positioned as the alternative connective tissue graft, Geistlich FibroGide is ideally suited for soft-tissue augmentation around natural teeth and implants, the company asserts. Additionally, Geistlich Fibro-Gide is 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. For more Information on Geistlich AD Fibro-Gide, visit Fibro-Gide.geistlichna.com. 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 Here in Vancouver To learn more about Geistlich Biomaterials’ Geistlich Fibro-Gide and other products, stop by the booth, No. 1117. tailor-made for specific dental procedures and therapeutic solutions. In both preclinical and clinical studies, Geistlich Fibro-Gide demonstrates safety, efficacy and shows clinical comparability to a connective tissue graft.1,2,3 Indications for use Geistlich Fibro-Gide is indicated for soft-tissue augmentation: • Localized gingival augmentation to increase keratinized tissue around teeth and implants. • Alveolar ridge reconstruction for prosthetic treatment. • Recession defects for root coverage.

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.

AD 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. 5 (Photo/Provided by BioHorizons )[15] => [16] => ) [page_count] => 16 [pdf_ping_data] => Array ( [page_count] => 16 [format] => PDF [width] => 765 [height] => 972 [colorspace] => COLORSPACE_UNDEFINED ) [linked_companies] => Array ( [ids] => Array ( ) ) [cover_url] => [cover_three] => [cover] => [toc] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [title] => Inside special [page] => 01 ) [1] => Array ( [title] => Scenes from the AAP [page] => 04 ) [2] => Array ( [title] => Exhibitors [page] => 12 ) ) [toc_html] =>[toc_titles] =>Table of contentsInside special / Scenes from the AAP / Exhibitors
