Dental offices can help kids
access dental care through
Scrap-4-Smiles Campaign
Millions of children across the United
States have difficulty accessing the
dental services they need to be healthy,
leading to a higher incidence of tooth
decay and risky infections that can bring
life-long consequences.
America’s ToothFairy, an organization
that increases access to pediatric dental
services in under-resourced areas of
the country, is excited to announce a
new, no-cost way for dental offices to
help improve oral health outcomes for
children in marginalized communities.
Through Scrap-4-Smiles, a new
campaign
in
partnership
with
CrownBuyers, dental offices can receive
top price for their precious metal
scrap while benefitting the nonprofit
organization’s national Dental Resource
Program (DRP). The program increases
access to oral health care by supporting
nonprofit clinics and community
partners
delivering
education,
prevention and treatment services for
underserved children.
Since 2006, DRP members have
received more than $25 million
in donated dental products and
equipment, educational materials and
financial grants that have helped them
provide dental services and education
to millions of children in communities
where accessing dental care can be a
challenge.

the needs of manufacturers interested
in exporting their products. There is
also an international hospitality center
where international guests can relax
and join other colleagues for coffee. And
as a bonus, some programming will be
offered in Spanish, Portuguese, Russian
and Chinese.
The exhibit floor hours are Sunday
through Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. each day and Wednesday from

accessing the dental services they
need to be healthy,” said Jill Malmgren,
the executive director of America’s
ToothFairy. “We have found that
supporting their efforts is the most
effective and efficient way to change
oral health outcomes in communities
with higher rates of poverty and in areas
where there simply aren’t enough dental
professionals to provide adequate care.”
Children’s Dental Services (CDS), a
DRP member located in Minneapolis, is
largely reliant upon grant funding and
donations to support free and affordable
dental care options for more than 33,000
vulnerable children throughout the
state of Minnesota.
“Donated materials have continued to
be very important to us,” CDS’ executive
director, Sarah Wovcha, said. “This year,
support from America’s ToothFairy has
made it possible for CDS to serve over
3,150 additional patients.”

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

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!”

Mentalist Duo and

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!”

‘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. 205 during
the AAOMS Dental Implant Conference, taking place
Dec. 1 and 2 in Chicago.
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.
