Recommending the right powered
brush for orthodontic patients
By Curaprox Staff
During orthodontic therapy, only excellent oral hygiene leads to excellent results. However, dental professionals are
unsure when it comes to recommending
powered toothbrushes to orthodontic
patients.
Dr. Sercan Akyalcin, head of orthodontics and graduate program director
at Harvard School of Dental Medicine,
discusses Curaprox’ Hydrosonic pro and
what makes it an ideal tool.
Oral hygiene is crucial to success
“With increasing numbers of adults
seeking orthodontic treatment, oral hygiene maintenance is an ever-hot topic
for busy orthodontic practices. And as a
practicing orthodontist, I always seek innovative tools to make life easier for our
patients.
“This is essential in orthodontics as
exceptional outcomes after orthodontic
treatment closely follow patients’ overall compliance, especially concerning
oral hygiene.
“Poor oral hygiene standards hinder
maintaining healthy periodontium,
cause bacterial plaque accumulation
and eventually lead to white spot lesion
formation in orthodontic patients.
“In addition, I have often observed
that tooth movement response to orthodontic forces is subpar in patients with
compromised oral hygiene.”
The Curaprox Hydrosonic pro comes with three brush heads: power, sensitive and single. Photos/Provided by Curaprox
What do we know?
“Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
have shown that there is moderate certainty that powered toothbrushes reduce plaque and the incidence of gingivitis over the short and long term. While
many powered toothbrushes, depending
on their mode of action, i.e., oscillatingrotating or the shape of the brush head,
may not apply to the standard hygiene
maintenance of orthodontic patients,
Curaprox’s Hydrosonic pro caught my
attention.
“An ideal brush head for orthodontic patients should be able to clean the
hard-to-reach nooks and crannies where
biofilm accumulates.
“The Hydrosonic pro has three brush
heads: power, sensitive and single. While
the first two are aimed at regular toothbrushing with sonic action and seven
modes ranging from 44,000 to 84,000
brush head movements, the single-tufted brush head could easily reach concealed areas where bacteria and plaque
accumulation readily occur in the niches between the teeth, brackets, attachments and wires.”
The Curaprox Hydrosonic pro’s brush heads are designed to help reach areas where bacteria
and plaque accumulation readily occur.
Dr. Sercan Akyalcin is the head of
orthodontics and graduate program director
at Harvard School of Dental Medicine.
Gentle bristles; no damage
For more information
“This single, extra small brush head
could make a potential difference in
orthodontic patients for tooth-by-tooth
and gumline cleaning, considering that
all brush heads are made of ultra-fine
filaments instead of traditional nylon
bristles.
“The single brush head uses the finest
Curen bristles, each measuring 0.088
mm in diameter. These ultra-fine filaments do not absorb water as much as
nylon bristles do and, therefore, can
keep their original texture when wet.
“Standard bristles usually make many
brush heads too stiff or thick. In addition, regular bristles may not remove
plaque adequately because they do not
reach the gum line correctly.
“When directed to hollowed-out or
confined spaces, the resulting pressures might cause abrasions or damage
the periodontium. Curaprox’s patented
Curen bristles adjust to the dental anatomy without hurting the gingiva or causing damage, even under the most substantial forces.
“I tested the innovative and teardrop-

shaped single brush head. The adaptability of the bristles around the gumline is
impressive and provides an intense sulcus cleaning without feeling any excessive pressure.
“I found the bristles so soft yet very
effective. This makes using the single
brush around brackets, miniscrews and
wires extremely comfortable.”

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!”
The Evasons:
Mentalist Duo and
Telepathists will
present the keynote
session during the
2024 Hinman Dental
Meeting, taking
place March 21 to 23.

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!”
Registration for Hinman 2024 will
open on Dec. 5. Visit Hinman.org for

‘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.
At left, Dr. Jacques Vermeulen uses the Navident UNO. At right, he uses the Navident EVO.

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. 714 during
the AAID Annual Conference or No. 729 during the
AAP Annual Meeting.
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.

Nexus iOS: A complete digital
solution for full-arch rehabilitation
By Keystone Dental Staff
Nexus iOS is a fully digital full-arch
solution, forming an end-to-end prosthetic solution from the first scan to
the final patient prosthesis. Nexus iOS
requires only a validated intraoral scanner and a Nexus Scan Gauge Kit.
The search for an accurate method
of full-arch implant capture has been a
continual point of debate amongst implant dentistry professionals, particularly in relation to Intraoral scanning
(IOS)1.
New technologies adapted to the dentistry field, such as photogrammetry,
have sought to solve these challenges;
however, they often carry significant investment and offer just one part of the
puzzle.
Nexus iOS utilises existing IOS technology with a new tool, one that at first
glance shares similarities with conventional scan bodies yet is significantly
more sophisticated. These are known as
Scan Gauges.
The final patient prosthesis, thanks to the Nexus iOS.
Photos/Provided by Keystone Dental
How does Nexus iOS work?
To understand how Nexus iOS works,
first, we need to understand why conventional scan bodies and IOS have not
rendered consistent results when performing full-arch scans. IOS works by
3-D mapping a patient’s tissue and dentition via image capture and software
algorithms that stitch image data into a
three-dimensional model.
The function of translating 2-D images into 3-D models is where IOS has the
potential to introduce inaccuracies2.
This is, in part, due to the mouth being an ever-changing environment —
soft tissue movement, saliva and other
changing features make the “stitching”
of scanner data difficult as there are
limited consistent landmarks for the algorithms in IO scanners to use as points
of reference. This is made significantly
worse when patients have no dentition
at all, only implants, often spread evenly across the arch, leaving large gaps of
soft tissue to scan.
Conventional Scan Bodies offer some
consistencies; however, they do not cover the span of the arch, with artificial
software stitching still encountering
tissue-only scanning surfaces.
One of the ways Nexus iOS overcomes
this issue is by using Scan Gauges that
“bridge” the gaps between implant sites,
offering IO scanners consistent landmarks when scanning across the arch,
limiting tissue-stitching and thereby
increasing the likelihood of true scan
data.
Nexus iOS uses Scan Gauges to bridge the gaps between
implant sites.
The Nexus iOS kit.
What is the outcome of using
Nexus iOS?
For more information
Using an intraoral scanner and a Nexus
Scan Gauge Kit, a series of scans and
patient headshots are performed to attain digital references of the patient’s
implant positions, bite and esthetic considerations.
This data is uploaded to the Nexus online cloud platform, and a titanium barretained prosthesis is ordered.

including
tooth shade, gingiva colouring, distal
