ADSO leading on solutions to dental staffing
challenges with Workforce Task Force launch
For more information
By Andrew Smith, Executive Director,
ADSO
To learn more about the ADSO, the ADSO Workforce Task Force or the ADSO annual meeting, being
held March 28 to 31 in Orlando, visit www.theadso.
COVID-19 ignited the “Great Resignation,” as employees everywhere sought
new jobs or careers or left the workforce
entirely. The dental industry was no exception to these events. Even as this took
place, additional factors made filling
open positions increasingly difficult.
For example, a recent study found that
more than one-third of surveyed dental
practices are actively recruiting for dental hygienists or assistants. And on top of
that, the survey found that one-third of
dental assistants and/or hygienists expect to retire in five years or less. These
statistics demonstrate a highly challenging staffing environment for dental leaders that, if left unaddressed, will
have a significant negative impact on
dental practice operations and patient
health in the coming years.
To help tackle these workforce chalAD

Summit, held in Austin, Texas. (Photo/Dental

lenges, the ADSO recently launched
a Workforce Task Force comprised of
ADSO member companies and dental
industry partners. The task force will investigate issues impacting recruitment
and retainment and provide recommendations to help dental practices meet
their staffing needs.
Challenges the industry currently faces include:
• Availability and cost of training pro-
grams: For many considering careers as
dental hygienists and assistants, cost is
often a barrier to entry. But even when
cost is not prohibitive, those thinking of
joining the dental workforce face a lack
of access to training programs. Providing adequate opportunities for training
at reasonable costs must become an industry priority.
• State regulations around education
and licensing requirements: Hygienists
or assistants often encounter obstacles
when attempting to work in states other
than where they were originally trained.
The limiting effect this has on the overall labor pool cannot be understated.
Dental leaders must work with regulators and legislators to create an environ-
ment more open to the mobility of dental talent and labor.
• Perceptions of dental hygiene/assisting as viable career paths: An increasingly common perception is that dental
hygiene or assistant roles do not offer
the compensation, benefits, work/life
balance or growth opportunities that
make for a desirable long-term career.
To combat this, dental leaders must offer
competitive compensation and benefits,
ensure a positive practice culture and
provide opportunities for employees to
expand their skills and move up within
their organization.
The ADSO Workforce Task Force will
examine a variety of issues related to
these challenges, including license portability, education funding, streamlined
credentialing and uniform standards for
scope and education. This effort is only
the beginning, and we hope other industry leaders will follow suit, joining us to
lead from within our industry to identify opportunities and offer solutions.

Designs for Vision has launched several game-changing loupe and headlight
designs to change for the better the way
you work.
One of Designs for Vision’s several new
products lines includes the new patented Panoramic Field Loupes (US pat.
8928975B2).
The Panoramic Loupes represent the
most significant advancement in telescope design in more than 100 years,
according to the company. The viewable
areas are twice as large as prismatic expanded field designed loupes and up to
five times greater than Galilean loupes.
Panoramic Field loupes provide unprecedented field of view, clarity, definition and color, the company asserts.
Are you experiencing back or neck
pain or want to prevent musculoskeletal
injuries by improving your posture? The
Infinity VUE Loupes by Designs for Vision may be your answer.
The Infinity VUE allows you to keep
your head in a neutral position while the
loupe does the bending for you. The InAD

finity VUE is available in 3.0x, 3.5x and
4.5x magnifications.
Designs has also added the Micro
3.0EF to the award-winning Micro Series Loupes. The Micro 3.0EF has a field
of view of 100 mm and weighs less than
70 grams.
The Micro Series includes REALITY 5
Star rated Micro 3.5EF Scopes and Micro
4.5EF Scopes, utilizing a revolutionary
optical design that reduces the size of
the prismatic telescope by 50 percent
and reduces the weight by 40 percent
while providing an expanded field view
of the oral cavity.
Designs for Vision is also introducing
patented (US pat. 8,851,709 & RE46,463)
hands-free infrared technology with
the WireLess IR HDi and the Micro IR
HDi headlights. The patented IR feature
allows you to operate the headlight

The IR headlights use a built-in infrared signal to allow you to turn the light

Change how patients brush

The Hydrosonic Pro with brush head
design is nothing short of exceptional,
according to Curaden, the company behind the product.
Ultra-fine, gentle Curen filaments,
instead of conventional nylon bristles,
wrap around each tooth to clean more
effectively.
The Hydrosonic Pro is designed with
three unique brush heads for the best
oral health that are gentle and effective for manual cleaning and strong
and powerful in the hydrodynamic
cleaning.
The sensitive and power extra-small
heads with their innovative teardrop
design clean each tooth with maximum
precision and support the hydrodynamic effect. The “single,” extra small brush
head cleans tooth-by-tooth and gumline.
The device is also perfect for your ortho and perio patients.

on all three brush heads. CURACURVE is
a bend in the brush of only 10 or 15 degrees, but it makes a world of difference.
Now your patients can easily clean the
difficult areas — the back of the front
teeth, behind the molars and premolars.
This is what happens when dental professionals design dental products.
In addition, an extra pleasant rubberized back prevents unpleasant vibrations, according to the company.
Curaprox Hydrosonic Pro comes with
up to 84,000 movements per minute.
It has a simple operation with a button
for switching on and off as well as level
change.
The battery allows teeth brushing
for about two weeks. And everything is
packed in a convenient travel case.

Reproducible accuracy
with Dr. Silvia La Rosa
By Silvia La Rosa, DDS, Diplomate of
the American Board of Periodontology
What comes to mind when we think
of computer-guided surgery? Accuracy,
reproducibility, reliability, safety, efficiency, sophistication, progress, constant evolution, continuous evolution
and flexibility.
When searching for technology with
such characteristics, I stopped and reviewed the clinical challenges of previous techniques. Like most of you, I
shifted from free-hand surgery to static
guidance, first fabricated in-office and
later through CAD/CAM technology,
which has drawbacks.
In my experience, Dynamic Navigation using Navident is my go-to in every
case because of its reproducible accuracy. I find this most important in areas
of restricted vertical access and critical
spaces.
It offers me the ability to change my
plan within the procedure, which is crucial; as we advance in the sinus cavity,
we need to place implants accurately
with transcrestal sinus elevation without losing the tactile feel.
Given its versatility and accuracy, dynamic navigation naturally expanded
to the field of endodontics to facilitate
accurate and more conservative access
to calcified canals and microsurgery.
We must choose technology with our
patients’ well-being in mind. Therefore,
we must critically research and understand the benefits and drawbacks
of the technologies to select the most
appropriate and efficacious treatment
modalities for our patient’s needs.
Computer-guided implant placement
remains an attractive choice as we aim
for reproducible accuracy that impacts
the patients’ restorative, biological and
functional outcomes.
Often, we decline to use more effective and more accurate technologies
because of perceived and sometimes
genuine changes to our daily practice,
resulting in less than ideal and non-reproducible results.
Computer-guided surgery is not easier, yet it sure is more accurate, making
the outcome optimal for the patient and
the clinician, thus minimizing chair
time for both.
New techniques and technologies inspire us to do better for our patients, be
inquisitive, learn and grow profession-

ally. We need to adapt to change and
invest time and effort personally and
financially to succeed.
With every new system that we incorporate into our practice, there is a familiarity curve. Dynamic Navigation using
Navident has been exciting, enjoyable
and rewarding for our team members
and me.
