Guideline details pain management
strategies for pediatric patients
Acetaminophen or non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen are recommended as first-line
treatments for managing short-term
dental pain in children younger than
age 12, according to a new clinical
practice guideline developed by the
American Dental Association Science
& Research Institute (ADASRI), the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental
Medicine and the Center for Integrative
Global Oral Health at the University of
Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.
The guideline has been endorsed by
the American Dental Association.
A guideline panel determined that,
when used as directed, acetaminophen
alone, NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) alone or
acetaminophen in combination with
NSAIDS can effectively manage a child’s
pain after a tooth extraction or during
a toothache when dental care is not immediately available.
AD
These and other recommendations are
now available in the September issue of
The Journal of the American Dental Association.
The guideline evaluated doses of acetaminophen and NSAIDs that may differ
from the dosing printed on the over-thecounter packages of these medications.
According to the guideline, when acetaminophen or NSAIDs are administered
as directed by a dentist or other health
care provider, the risk of harm to children from either medication is low.
Guideline senior author Paul Moore,
DMD, PhD, MPH, is professor emeritus at
the University of Pittsburgh’s School of
Dental Medicine. He said the recommendations align with previous guidance
from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which contraindicated the
use of codeine and tramadol in children
younger than age 12 in 2017.
“While prescribing opioids to children
has become less frequent overall, this
According to a new clinical practice
guideline, when acetaminophen or NSAIDs
are administered as directed by a dentist or
other health care provider, the risk of harm
to children from either medication is low.

guideline ensures that both dentists and
parents have evidence-based recommendations to determine the most appropriate treatment for dental pain,” Dr.
Moore said. “Parents and caregivers can
take comfort that widely available medications that have no abuse potential,
such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, are
safe and effective for helping their children find relief from short-term dental
pain.”
This is the first of two guidelines on
acute dental pain management. A second set of recommendations for adolescents and adults is in development.
The new acute pediatric pain management guideline can be found at ada.org/
painmanagement.

is working to combat opioid misuse,

As RGP approaches 30 years in
business, it’s better than ever
By RGP Staff
As the pandemic slowly fades away
into the rear view mirror and the smoke
from a couple years of uncertainty
clears, RGP is standing stronger than
ever in the dental stool game, according
to the company.
Based in historic Bristol, R.I., RGP
spent all of 2022 pumping dental chairs
out of their factory at a record pace.
“In the spring of 2020, we were standing there wondering which direction we
would go when everything hit the fan
with Covid. We knew we had to get creative and roll up our sleeves to ensure
that as a small business, we could withstand the blow of the pandemic,” said
RGP Vice President Jason DeCosta.
“Thankfully, we have some incredibly
loyal customers who even in the midst
of that whole situation found their way
to our website and to our phone lines
and were still ordering chairs and other
items from us, helping us push forward
during that tough time,” Costa said. “We
ended up having an overall successful
2020, which was amazing. 2021 followed
suit and sales grew back to our pre-pandemic levels”
When asked about 2022 DeCosta said:
“We were very fortunate to have had an
incredible year of growth last year. It
was by far our best year since our inception back in 1995.
“We had a great push in 2022 from
well-known ergonomic speakers recommending our products, an incredible stretch of successful trade shows
— many of which were record setting
— and a few new products that really
served as catalysts to push our sales to
new levels.
“It was the perfect storm for our business, and we look forward to continuing
that success into 2023 and beyond.”
RGP specializes in providing dental professionals with optimal seating
options for proper ergonomics in the
workplace.
It offers unique chair designs that can
be combined with arm supports and
other accessories. It mainly operates in
the dental sector but also has a foothold
in other industries, such as ophthalmology, dermatology, plastic surgery and
veterinary.

What do honeybees have
to do with this toothpaste?
observing the common honey bee apis
mellifera.
When the bee produces honey, it secretes glucose oxidase into it. When the
glucose in the honey reacts with oxygen,
it results in the production of hydrogen
peroxide (H₂O₂).
The hydrogen peroxide is strongly antibacterial and protects and preserves
the honey. It is exactly this effect that
makes Be you so special.
By Curaden Staff
Enzymes are life, and if it’s up to molecular biologist Dr. Michel-Angelo Sciotti, they are also a key component in
future oral health products.
Sciotti works as an enzyme specialist
and innovation scientist at the University of Applied Sciences of Northern Switzerland. His knowhow has led to the development of several revolutionary oral
health products, including Curaprox Be
you.
Enhancing the mouth’s natural
defences
From beehive to Be you
“Each time a new type of enzyme is discovered scientists ask themselves two
questions: What is the biological function of this enzyme, and, more importantly, how can we humans hijack it?”
Sciotti explains. “In the case of Curaprox
Be you, the enzyme in question is glucose oxidase.”
Often labelled as an “oxidase Ferrari”
because of its high efficiency, stability and specificity, glucose oxidase has
proven itself as an ideal enzyme. It is
industrially sourced from the common
mold aspergillus niger, its applications

ranging from food preservation and the
oxygenizing of dough in baking to an
organic antibacterial in oral health products such as Be you.
In nature, glucose oxidase is ubiquitous. Its effects can be seen in action
So, what role can glucose oxidase play
in our own mouth? According to Sciotti, the glucose oxidase in Be you enhances the body’s own defence against
oral pathogens by supporting another
enzyme that is already present in the
mouth: lactoperoxidase.
Humans naturally produce this enzyme, which reacts with the thiocyanate
and hydrogen peroxide produced by our
own cells to produce hypothiocyanite,
an important antibacterial and antiviral
molecule.
“With Be you, we are turboboosting
this natural oral defence mechanism,”
Sciotti says. “By including glucose, glu-
cose oxidase and thiocyanate in the
toothpaste’s formulation, we produce
an excess of H₂O₂ in the mouth. This
promotes extra production of hypothiocyanite. The result? Oral pathogens are
prevented from colonizing the oral flora
and causing dysbiosis.”
Construction, not destruction
The use of enzymes in oral health is not
new. What is new is a toothpaste that
supports the oral flora through cooperation.
Many oral products tend to rely on
introducing enzymes that are foreign
to the body to target and destroy cell
walls. Be you’s clever formulation on the
other hand helps the oral flora toward a
healthy symbiosis in a way that is constructive to the body’s own biochemical
processes.
As important as Be you’s ingredients
are those ingredients it does not contain.
Be you contains no triclosan, microplastics or sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) — a
popular foaming agent contained in
many toothpastes — to avoid any possible irritation to the oral mucosa.
“On behalf of the enzyme, but also ourselves,” Sciotti concludes.
Neodent is more than full arch
By Neodent Staff
Neodent offers stability, flexibility,
precision and confidence in almost every single or multiple tooth indication,
according to the company. With the
expanded implant offerings from Neodent, patients and clinicians can choose
Neodent every single time.
Stability
The Neodent Grand Morse implant system offers treatment flexibility for patients. It creates tooth replacement outcomes for many indications, including

Hinman Dental Meeting announces
2024 dates and keynote session
Event to be held March 21-23 in Atlanta
By Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting
Staff
The Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting — one of the nation’s leading dental
meetings and comprehensive sources of
continuing education in dentistry — has
announced its 2024 dates. The 111th annual meeting will take place March 21-23
at the Georgia World Congress Center
(GWCC) and Omni Hotel at CNN Center
in Atlanta.
In addition, The Evasons: Mentalist
Duo and Telepathists will present at the
keynote session on Thursday, March 21
at 5:30 p.m.
Tessa and Jeff Evason are one of very
few married couples in history who have
mastered the rare and mysterious art of
second sight and are recognized globally
as the world’s foremost Mentalist Duo.
They were the first recipients of The
Mentalism Award from the Milbourne
Christopher Foundation. They were
awarded the highest honor for distinguished professionalism by the Psychic
Entertainers Association. They are the
only mentalists ever to receive the SARMOTI Award from Siegfried & Roy in Las
Vegas. And they’ve been nominated for
Stage Magicians of the Year by the Academy of Magical Arts in Los Angeles.
When you see the Evasons in action,
you’ll understand why on Penn & Teller’s
international primetime TV show “Fool
Us,” Penn & Teller said: “The kind of
mental gymnastics that are done on this
are unbelievable. This act is so good! Just
breathtaking! We’ve never seen better!”

And on the World’s Greatest Magic on
NBC, The Evasons were called “The finest
act of its kind in the world!”
The Evasons do not use plants, stooges
or concealed electronic cueing or signaling devices (including hidden microphones, earphones, cameras or radios) to
secretly communicate with each other.
They pledge to pay $100,000 to anyone
who can prove otherwise.
Even skeptics are baffled by their abilities. The Evasons love inspiring people to
open their minds to new possibilities.
“We’re not trying to change beliefs,”
Jeff and Tessa explain, “only to spark
imagination and tickle the sense of wonder!”

open on Dec. 5. Visit Hinman.org for

launched an impact report on gum disease and access to treatment in the U.S.
The report outlines the importance of
preventing gum disease, the detrimental effects of gum disease as well as current disparities in oral health care — and
what needs to happen to change this.
Gum disease, or periodontal disease,
results from an imbalance of bacteria
in the mouth and inflammation of the
gum and bone surrounding and supporting the teeth. It begins as gingivitis,
a reversible inflammation of the gums
resulting in bleeding and swelling. If left
untreated, gum disease may result in
missing teeth, negatively impacting nutritional intake, and leading to deficiencies, especially in older adults.
The perio-systemic link is emphasized
in the report, stating that long-term
inflammation related to gum disease
has been associated with heart disease,

rheumatoid arthritis, worsened glycemic control among people with diabetes,
an increased risk of preterm birth and
increased cognitive decline in patients
with Alzheimer’s.
Aside from the health aspects, one of
the key reasons early identification is so
important is because of the economic
burden it causes individuals and health
systems in the United States. Many individuals face inequitable access to dental
care based on their income level, health
insurance status, racial or ethnic background, immigration status, age or location. To combat disparities in oral health
care, it is crucial for states to come up
with appropriate policies.
The report also proves that it is better
to take care of your gums now than deal
with the costs of treating them later. The
annual cost of untreated gum disease is
an estimated $154 billion.
Dr. David Okano, president of the AAP,
said: “Taking the proper steps to prevent
gum disease may seem like a burden, but
an ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of care. Once the disease takes hold, the
costs to treat it are much higher. With
a combination of public education and
legislation that provides for equitable access to care, the overall financial burden
for treating gum disease will decrease,
while the overall health of patients will
improve.”

‘Partial robotization of
implant placement will
soon become an obligation’
An interview with
Dr. Jacques Vermeulen
By ClaroNav Staff
Dr. Jacques Vermeulen of France relates his experience with Navident,
echoing the sentiments of other practitioners in each market Navident EVO is
sold.
You can find the global EVO testimonials of Dr. Silvia La Rosa (United States),
Dr. Luca Comuzzi (Italy), Dr. Marc Miller
(United States) and Dr. Mohamed Fayad
(United States) at www.claronav.com/
navident/testimo nials/.
1. How long have you been using
Navident UNO (Navident’s first system)
and when did you receive your Navident
EVO (Navident’s newest system)?
I started using Navident UNO in 2019,
and I was very satisfied.
I received EVO at the beginning of
2023 and kept the UNO system for three
months in my clinic as a precaution. I
wanted to make sure that EVO worked
perfectly.
I was pleasantly surprised by EVO’s
performance and the software’s userfriendliness.
Ninety-five percent of implant surgeries are now performed with EVO.
2. What prompted you to buy the
upgrade?
The technical improvements in EVO
vs. UNO, such as: impression registration, autoclavable parts that are smaller
and lighter, and especially the handpiece tracker, which has no blank spots
for the Navident EVO camera — which
was a major flaw on the Navident UNO.
The protocol for complete edentulous
cases using impression registration,
without the need for osteosynthesis
screws, played a positive role in my decision.
Future developments in EVO also convinced me. The forthcoming possibility
of controlling the implantology engine
and photogrammetric impression taking were also important factors in my
decision.

3. How many cases have you
performed with each system?
Estimated.
I estimate having carried out at least
150 clinical cases with Navident UNO,
and to date I’ve carried out 70 clinical
cases with Navident EVO. This translates
to more than 500 implants placed with
Navident.
4. What are your impressions of the
improvements made to the EVO
system?
1. Speed and user-friendliness of the
planning software. For example, with
Navident UNO, I used to carry out an implant pre-study on Simplant, and since
I’ve got EVO, I’ve totally abandoned this
pre-study.
I now carry out the study directly on
EVO.
2. Ease of STL matching, either from
the optical impression or from a study
of the prosthetic project by the laboratory. It only takes a few seconds!
3. Impression registration eliminates
the need for tracing (saving one to two
minutes) and the need to place osteosynthesis screws in the case of the completely edentulous or in the case of immediate implant extraction
5 . Would you recommend it to a
colleague and why?
I would simply say that the future lies
in dynamically guided surgery! Implant
placement without planning and dynamic assistance would be like driving
a car without GPS, an airbag or a braking
assistant.
The time lag between planning and
dynamic guided surgery is negligible.
For more information
To learn more about the Navident EVO and see it for
yourself, stop by the Navident booth, No. 846, during the AAOMS Annual Meeting or visit the booth
during the ICOI World Congress.
Twenty-four years ago, when I tried to
convince my colleagues that the use of
a static guide would be the future, I was
preaching to the choir.
Today, all young practitioners use static guidance ...! In fact, they’re 20 years
behind the times ...!
Today, we need to invest in dynamic
guidance, which allows a rapid transition from planning to surgery and
avoids the use of highly polluting and
expensive resins. Partial robotization of
implant placement will soon become an
obligation.
