Survey shows at-home oral health practices are strong n A key factor in achieving optimal oral health is ensuring that teeth and mouths are being cared for regularly. In October, which was National Dental Hygiene Month, Delta Dental highlighted findings from a recent study showing that adults and children across the country continue to practice proper oral health habits at home. The study found that, on average, children and adults brushed their teeth twice per day, flossed their teeth once per day and used mouthwash once per day. “At-home oral hygiene habits play a key role in maintaining good oral health, and it is encouraging to see respondents are committed to brushing, flossing and using mouthwash regularly,” said Joseph Dill, DDS, MBA, vice president of dental science, Delta Dental Plans Association. Such habits are motivated by the health benefits associated with each, with many reporting they are brushing and flossing to prevent tooth decay, prevent dental issues and maintain or improve oral health. Beyond their brushing and flossing frequency, many follow American Dental Association guidelines on how often to replace their toothbrush. In fact, about two in three adults (65 percent) switch out their brush at least once every three months, while 86 percent of parents do this for their IN PERSON today American Academy of Periodontology Annual Meeting Daily Vol. 5 appears during the AAP 107th Annual Meeting in Miami Beach, Florida, Nov. 5–7, 2021.

(Source: PRNewswire) (Source: American Academy of Periodontology)[4] => 4 exhibitors AAP Annual Meeting — November 5, 2021 Dental school implements robot-assisted implant surgeries By NYU College of Dentistry Staff n New York University College of Dentistry (NYU Dentistry) has become one of the first U.S. dental schools to acquire, install and use surgical robotic devices for dental implant surgeries. According to NYU Dentistry, these devices will provide an opportunity for pre- and postdoctoral students to learn how state-of-the-art robotic technology, with its accuracy and precision during dental surgery, can augment and enhance clinical practice and patient care. The robot-assisted surgical technology, known as Yomi, was developed by Miami-based Neocis. It is the first — and, to date, only — such device cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for dental implant surgery, according to NYU Dentistry. AD Here in Miami Beach To learn more about Yomi, the robotassisted surgical device, stop by Neocis at booth No. 1113, visit www.neocis. com or call the company directly at (855) 963-6247. The system uses software to preoperatively plan dental implantation procedures and provides real-time visual and physical intraoperative guidance to achieve the plan. Yomi is intended for use in adult patients missing some or all teeth who qualify for dental implants. Using the Yomi system, the provider performing the surgical procedure first creates a virtual plan for the placement of a dental implant using detailed 3-D scans of the patient’s mouth. The system then uses physical 5 The Yomi. (Photo/Provided by Neocis) cues to guide the provider along the precise implementation of that plan — but is also able to adjust dynamically to accommodate mid-procedure changes. Yomi augments a provider’s “feel,” giving real-time feedback via haptic technology to guide a provider along the treatment plan, but the provider controls the dental handpiece at all times. By design, the system complements, rather than overrides, a provider’s clinical expertise. “Robotic technology is truly a game-changer for dental surgery,” said Robert Glickman, associate dean for clinical affairs and hospital relations and professor and chair of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at NYU Dentistry. “Successfully placing dental implants requires careful preoperative planning and a high degree of accuracy and precision to avoid critical anatomical structures and provide the best outcome for the patient.” With the acquisition of Yomi, NYU Dentistry continues to introduce pioneering new dental technologies into its predoctoral and postdoctoral education programs.[5] => [6] => exhibitors 6 AAP Annual Meeting — November 5, 2021 Implantmed: A game changer By W&H Staff n Implantmed. These days, W&H’s high-end device is synonymous with dental implantology. Clear design combined with technical finesse make Implantmed an absolute game changer, according to the company, which asserts that’s been the case for 20 years. The device is opening up new possibilities for treatment and is helping the professional community to progress. And since its launch, Implantmed has grown rapidly from a new technology to become a best-selling smart device today. Enabler for individual workflows Technologies for implant stability measurement and smart solutions for digital networking make Implantmed unique in the industry today, according to the company. Users can tailor it to their individual implantology workflow, and thanks to its optional product features, it can be ideally adjusted to clinical requirements. Of course, the journey from the very first Implantmed through to the smart device has been an evolution, and one which is continuing apace. 5 Implantmed: Twenty years of pioneering spirit. (Photos/Provided by W&H) Making a splash from day one It was a race against time. The IDS was due to start on time, but the newcomer was not quite ready for its grand début. With a great deal of dedication, a team of developers applied the final touches and put Implantmed in pole position just in time, and bang, on schedule at IDS in March 2001, W&H’s new implantology motor was presented to the public for the first time. With its sterilizable motor and cable, five different programs and straightforward and safe operation, it really caused a stir in the professional community, according to the company. Despite the tight time frame, the goal was achieved and the foundations laid for future success. As early as 2005, Implantmed was given a new ergonomic design and improved motor technology. Available in two housing colors, it made an eye-catching addition to any dental practice. Numerous implant manufacturers added the W&H product to their portfolio. Shortly afterward, the innovation was given a facelift and, from 2011, was available in a shiny new housing. An integrated mechanical automatic thread cutter function was also included from this point, providing support for implant insertion in the lower jaw. Just five years later, W&H lit an innovation firework, according to the 5 Above, the Implantmed today. At left, once you know Implantmed, you can use any of the generations. A uniform user interface and standardized program processes guarantee optimal usability. 3 company: in cooperation with Osstell AB, now a member of the W&H Group, Implantmed was the first implantology motor to be enhanced with Osstell’s ISQ functionality for implant stability measurement. For the first time, this allowed dental staff to check the status of osseointegration in real time and thus determine the optimal load time for an implant. But things didn’t stop there. This Implantmed generation also featured a color display, touch screen, a new coolant pump, individual user profiles and a documentation function, as well as customization features. A wireless foot control ensured that several W&H devices (such as Implantmed and Piezomed) could be operated with just one foot control. Here in Miami Beach To learn more about the Implantmed, stop by the W&H booth, No. 1120. The motor, the shortest and most powerful implantology motor on the market by some distance, was a particular highlight. The version with a light ensured optimal illumination in all treatment situations. In 2018, W&H added Implantmed Classic and Implantmed Plus to its portfolio, thereby offering two models for different customer requirements for the first time. ioDent® was the first step in connecting Implantmed to the “Internet of Dental Things.” The new digital solution was unveiled at IDS 2019 in Cologne. Implantmed Plus and the ioDent system support the digital implantology workflow and connect dentist, patient and high-end devices. Always a step ahead W&H has been responding to dentists’ requirements for 20 years. Every Implantmed generation is always a step ahead, the company asserts. Now, as they did before, technical features and optimal reliability make Implantmed a game changer in implantology. And this ambition is sure to carry forward into the future as Implantmed is becoming an innovative systems solution — highlights guaranteed![7] => [8] => exhibitors 8 AAP Annual Meeting — November 5, 2021 Keep your chin up, neck straight and eyes forward with Infinity VUE By Designs for Vision Staff n Designs for Vision has several new and innovative products, including Infinity VUE, Panoramic Field and REVEAL.

Snoasis Medical’s placental tissue membrane, BioXclude®, is a versatile, deepithelialized amnion-chorion membrane that provides full barrier function with inherent bioactive growth factors and signaling molecules to promote healing.3 Placental-derived tissues are immunoprivileged,4 alleviating concerns for rejection or adverse reaction. Additionally, amnion-chorion allograft membranes have been shown to have potent antimicrobial properties,5,6 making them ideally suited for surgical procedures in oral and maxillofacial environments. Together, these properties make BioXclude the superior barrier membrane option, according to the company. Robert J. Miller, DMD, has fully adopted BioXclude as the best and most versatile patient option for his private practices in Florida. Miller said: “Predictability and ease of use have made BioXclude my go-to membrane for over eight years.” In the following case from Miller, the patient sustained a fall, causing a maxillary fracture and loss of teeth #7, 8 and 9. An allograft ring was used to place an implant at site #9, along with xenograft bone and a collagen membrane. An implant was also placed at site #7, using FDBA and BioXclude to regenerate the buccal plate. As you can see from the final CT scans, both sides were equally successful. This case only represents the tip of the iceberg. Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of BioXclude across periodontal regenerative procedures. Snoasis Medical asserts that it sets the standard for placental membrane research in dentistry with more than 10 years of research and 46 clinical publications to date, making BioXclude the most researched placental membrane in dentistry.

A revolutionary one- to two-step drilling protocol prepares the site with minimal bone removal and provides you with immediate feedback during placement. The drills are directly matched to the implant and thread designs, making placement faster, simpler and reducing chair time for you and your patients, the company asserts. A pre-clinical study has shown that the Neoss ProActive Edge implants achieve equal or better implant stability than top premium brand implants, according to the company. In addition, Neoss ProActive Edge was the only implant that maintained outstanding implant stability in all situations, even in cases with over-prepared osteotomies, making it highly predictable to use.1 The predictability of the Neoss ProActive Edge implant has been further confirmed in a clinical use study, the company says. High primary stability was achieved for all implants, allowing for immediate or early load in support of single crowns and partial bridges as well as for full-arch restorations. All implants remained in function during the entire one-year observation period with minimal (-0.5 mm) bone remodeling. 2 Like all Neoss implants, Neoss ProActive Edge features the clinically proven super hydrophilic ProActive surface and the highly trusted NeoLoc® connection. According to the company, it’s one prosthetic platform across three implant ranges with one screwdriver connection, making it “Intelligent Simplicity.” References 1.

According to the company, the trophoblast layer contains more than 50 percent of the biologically relevant proteins in the placental membrane,1 and LifeNet Health’s patented and proprietary Matracell decellularization process serves to minimize immunogenic and inflammatory responses.7,8 The amnion membrane by itself is thin and contains only a small portion of the biological factors found in the AD Here in Miami Beach To learn more about AmnioExcite and other products, visit Salvin Dental Specialties at booth No. 625. The new AmnioExcite three-layer placental membrane. (Photo/Provided by Salvin Dental Specialties) 5 full-thickness placental membrane, Salvin said. The chorionic membrane contains many of the same growth factors as the amnion membrane. However, the trophoblast layer holds a majority of the proteins and growth factors in the full-thickness placental membrane.1 AmnioExcite is approximately four times thicker than an amnion or chorion membrane for a more substantial protective barrier.2 AmnioExcite’s unique thickness may help prevent bacterial ingress and thus inflammation associated with infection, the company said. AmnioExcite does not fold in upon itself when rehydrated, making it much easier to handle and less likely to migrate away from the surgical site during the healing process.3 Unlike other amnion/chorion membrane allografts, the layers in AmnioExcite are never separated during the process because separation can adversely impact retention of the native growth factors.4 In most placental-based allografts, the trophoblast layer is removed. However, by removing this layer, a rich source of beneficial endogenous biological factors and the thick structural matrix is also removed.1 Therefore, AmnioExcite retains more endogenous growth factors than similar placenta-derived allografts by being processed as an intact, whole membrane, according to Salvin. A few tissue processors do retain the trophoblast layer without removing viable and non-viable cells, which may provoke an immune response because of the presence of antigens on the cell surface.5 The ideal solution is to leave the thick, nutrient-rich extracellular matrix of the trophoblast layer intact but remove the donor cells to minimize an immune or inflammatory response. LifeNet Health has solved this problem by processing AmnioExcite with its Matracell decellularization process.6,7 Matracell is a patented and validated process that renders allograft tissue acellular without compromising the biomechanical or desired biochemical properties for its intended surgical application.8 Both Salvin Dental and LifeNet Health have an exemplary safety record. Since 1995, LifeNet Health has processed more than 7 million bio-implants with its Allowash technology, without a single case of disease transmission. AmnioExcite has a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6, which is the recommended SAL for medical devices or allografts that are implanted or come in contact with breeched skin.
