Cosmetic dentists’ session
reimagined for Toronto
AACD annual scientific session will be from April 28–30
Dental professionals from across the
globe will be able to see the latest in dental products and services at the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry’s annual scientific session, AACD 2016, which
will be held in Toronto from April 28–30.
AACD 2016 is considered by many to
be cosmetic dentistry’s premier education event, with its hands-on workshops,
lectures and social events catering specifically to professionals involved with
cosmetic dentistry.
The AACD exhibit hall will be open all
three days, featuring breakfasts, lunches
and cocktail receptions.
More than 1,500 dental professionals
are expected to attend the event, which
will take place at the Metro Toronto Convention Center in downtown Toronto.
While the exhibit hall is open to all attendees of AACD 2016, those who aren’t
attending the meeting can still purchase
products and services by securing daily
passes to the exhibit hall.
Jeff Roach, director of strategic partnerships at AACD, said, “Our attendees look
forward to the amazing products and
services our exhibitors offer, and with
several cocktail receptions and other activities planned, we anticipate plenty of
foot traffic.”

Separate theme each day
A new meeting structure is in place to
deliver this year’s educational offerings.
The conference will feature separate
themes on each of the three days: design,
implementation and realization.
Organizers describe the themes as being a scaffolding on which the entire
conference will be structured. The three
themes are designed as a sequential and
cumulative process, with each day building on knowledge gained the previous
day.
Billed as AACD Triple Plays, some of
the themes will track as rapid-fire morning and afternoon sessions delivered by
top-name speakers. Thursday’s rapid-fire
sessions will focuses on treatment planning. Friday’s “implementation” theme
includes rapid-fire sessions on orthodontic and surgical options. The “realization”
theme on Saturday features rapid-fire
sessions on restorative implementation.
In addition to the rapid-fire offerings,
all of the courses at AACD 2016 are de-

signed with the intent to elevate clinical skills of the entire dental team. The
AACD event also will include a lineup of
accreditation courses for attendees who
seek to differentiate themselves at a level
of excellence that can be achieved by
only the most dedicated and passionate
dental professionals.
The educational programming, according to meeting organizers, “promises to
make attendees feel light years ahead in
their profession.”

Three days of ‘the best in cosmetic
dentistry education’
AACD has a reputation for always trying
to outdo itself to bring members and attendees “the best in cosmetic dentistry
education.” For the 2016 annual meeting,
organizers are committed to continuing
to build on the meeting’s track record. In
that vein, the 32nd Annual Scientific Session’s three themed days will progress in
subject and content.
The themes will bracket comprehen-

sive, cumulative sessions and are designed to create positive influence on
your practice the moment you’re back on
the job.

Toronto: Global center of business,
finance and the arts
The “reimagined” conference concept
has a fitting backdrop in the city of Toronto. Home to more than 4.7 million
people in the greater metro area, the city
is described by many as being the cultural, entertainment and financial capital of
Canada.
On the shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto is
Canada’s largest city and the fourth largest city in North America. It’s known for
its leadership in sustainability efforts.
As a global center for business, finance
and the arts, the city consistently ranks
as one of the world’s most livable areas.
The city earned “Best in Travel 2015”
honors from Lonely Planet and was selected as a Hot Destination for 2015 by
Orbitz. The city boasts world-class shopping, dining and entertainment.
Look for the links on the academy’s
website, www.aacd.com, to learn more
about what the city has to offer. You may
decide you need to extend your trip to
ensure you have plenty of time to explore Toronto and the surrounding area.

The low to very low viscosity materials of
this product family offer clinicians precise
results whether using the two-step impression technique or the one-step double-mix
technique.
The products are available in various viscosities to cover a wide variety of different
procedural requirements.
Of all available dental impression materials, addition-curing impression materials achieve the highest degree of precision and dimension stability and have an
extremely low linear dimensional change
of -0.04 percent in 24 hours. These advantages were confirmed in the recent Panasil
test by Catapult.

High, medium or low viscosity,
normal or fast setting, manual or
mechanical processing
According to Kettenbach, Panasil was given unusually high ratings by the experts,
with 86 percent of the testers stating that
they were considering using the product in
their practices.
The versatility of the Panasil family, according to the company, provides an appropriate material for nearly every dentist,
be it high, medium or low viscosity, normal
or fast setting or for manual or mechanical
processing.

High initial hydrophilicity
Every version that was selected impressed
the testers with the very high initial hydrophilicity. For an impression material, it is
important not only to wet the surface of
the tooth, but also to displace fluids such
as blood or saliva from the preparation
margins.
Panasil was also given good marks for
high precision. Precise impressions are
needed especially for the popular but frequently breakage-prone ceramic restorations to achieve a good internal fit with an
even distribution of tension. Panasil fully
complies with this criterion.
In short, according to Kettenbach, the
test results show that the Panasil family
covers most requirements of dentists in
clinical practice and should be considered
when selecting a new impression material.
