Welcome to AGD2021
By today Staff
n The world might look a little different since the last time the Academy of
General Dentistry’s annual meeting
was held, in July 2019, but the annual
event itself promises to live up to and
exceed all expectations.
Kicking off Wednesday morning,
June 9, with presentations on the evolution of sedation, Botox therapeutic
indications, the do’s and don’ts of porcelain laminate veneers, principles
of surgical extraction and more, this
year’s annual meeting, AGD2021, is
being held in person from June 9 to 12
at the Austin Convention Center.
A smaller, virtual component for
those who feel more comfortable
that way is also being conducted at
the same time. The virtual meeting
includes a pre-packaged selection of
six lectures, including hard-to-find
C.E. that will provide attendees with
an educational experience and ability
to earn 18 credits.
About 3,000 dental professionals
see AGD2021, page 3

Attendees gather around an AGD sign greeting visitors to the exhibit hall on the first day of the AGD2019 annual scientific
session, held at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn. This year, AGD2021 is taking place in Austin, Texas, and also online.

Come honor the 2021 fellows,
masters and LLSR recipients
Event will be livestreamed for those who can’t attend in person
n Join the Academy of General Dentistry on Saturday, June 12, to help
celebrate the 2021 fellows, masters
and lifelong learning and service
recognition (LLSR) award recipients.
The Convocation Ceremony will
take place from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the
Austin Convention Center, Level 4,
Ballrooms D-G. Because of the COVID19 pandemic, capacity is limited, but
the event will be livestreamed for
those watching at home.
The fellowship and mastership
awards and the LLSR designation are
AGD’s highest honors. The fellowship
award is presented to dentists who
seek to provide the highest quality
of dental care by remaining current
in their profession. To receive this
honor, dentists must complete 500
hours of continuing dental education,
pass a comprehensive exam and fulfill three years of continuous membership in the AGD.
For AGD’s mastership award, dentists must earn their fellowship award
and complete an additional 1,100
hours of continuing dental education.
Dentists who have earned fellowship
or mastership from AGD make up a
distinct group — they represent less
than 1 percent of all general dentists
practicing in the United States and
Canada.
The LLSR award is formal recognition for AGD masters in the areas of
continuing education, dental-related
community service and service to
organized dentistry. The prestigious

are expected to attend the in-person
or virtual meeting. Attendees at the
on-site meeting in Austin can expect a
variety of advanced hands-on education along with clinical and practice
management discussions in an innovative one-hour lecture format. All
of the continuing education earned
at an AGD meeting can be applied to
the AGD fellowship and mastership
awards.
AGD2021 also includes a keynote
speaker session, 20-minute Dental
Pearl lectures, an exhibit hall with
more than 100 exhibitors, scientific
e-poster presentations, a complimentary oral cancer screening and the
president’s welcome reception on
Thursday, June 10.
You can watch the 2021 Convocation Ceremony for the 2021 AGD fellows, masters
and LLSR recipients via livestream from the Austin Convention Center.

The keynote speaker for AGD2021
is motivational speaker Scott Burrows, known for his miraculous comeback from two tragic life-altering
accidents.
At the age of 19, Burrows was a
college wide receiver at Florida State
University and a top-ranked kickboxing black belt champion. This all
changed when, as a passenger in a
friend’s car, he was in a automobile
accident that left him paralyzed from
the chest down and diagnosed a quadriplegic.
Despite having his promising athletic career cut short, Burrows did not
let this event define his life.
After half a year of physical therapy and battling life-threatening
complications, Burrows returned to
college and graduated with a bach-

elor of science in finance. He also
began competing with other worldclass disabled athletes in full-contact
wheelchair rugby, a Paralympic sport
also known as Murderball.
At the height of his career, Burrows was involved in another severe
automobile accident that forced him
to re-evaluate, re-invent and re-ignite
his life. It was at this time he walked
away from a successful career in
order to share his unique story with
the world.
At AGD2021, Burrows will speak
on the concepts of vision, mindset and
grit to life while inspiring attendees
to create a mindset of hopefulness
and growth of their own.

AGD2021 — June 9–12, 2021
Impression products are now
even more economical and safer
Kettenbach Dental
presents its new 50 ml
cartridge system
By Kettenbach Dental Staff
n Late last year, Kettenbach Dental
presented its new look to the dental world, showcasing all its products with fresh and modern packaging. With the conversion to a new
50 ml cartridge system, there is now
another highlight. The quality of the
products remains unchanged, but the
impression process is now even more
economical and safer, according to
the company.
The traditional 50 ml cartridge
has long been established in the
dental sector for applying impression
material and is the modern standard in almost every dental practice.
However, this does not mean that its
design cannot be further improved.
With this in mind, since April 16,
Kettenbach Dental is converting all
impression materials dispensed from
the 50 ml cartridge to an innovative
and even more efficient system as
part of its product optimization, the
company asserts.
For users of the 50 ml cartridge
materials in the Futar ® (bite registration), Panasil® and Identium® (precision impression) as well as Silginat®
(anatomic impression) product families, this means that taking impressions will become even more cost
effective and safer, according to the
company, with the same high product
quality because nothing will change
with the material itself.
Impression taking made easy

impression materials will be applied
using a blue mixing tip (previously
green). Low viscosity materials will
be applied with a red mixing tip (previously yellow).
Thanks to the new mixing system
and its corresponding short blue mixing tips, up to 20 percent less residue
remains in the mixing tip compared
to the previous application: This
means more impressions per cartridge and therefore greater cost
effectiveness.
Despite the shorter mixing tip, the
required clinical length and comfort
while working are assured, according
to Kettenbach Dental. “Bleeding” the
cartridge impression material before
application is no longer necessary,
thus enabling direct application after

attaching the mixing tip, resulting in
less waste and more product.
Intuitive handling
Even without special training, intuitive and safe use of the new cartridge
system is guaranteed at all times,
according to the company. Thanks to
the integrated positioning aid, attaching the mixing tip to the cartridge is
noticeably easier. The color-coding
system is already familiar to practitioners and helps to have the right
components quickly at hand even in
hectic moments.
All impression materials in the
new application system can be used
with all conventional dispensing
guns and continue to support simplicity of chairside application. The
tamper-evident closure ensures the
product is an intact original.
Kettenbach Dental impression
products are still 100 percent made
in Germany and unchanged, retaining their unique and high-quality
contents, the company asserts. Combined with the future system-related
advantages, this is, as usual, simply
intelligent.
Exhibit hall has a lot to offer at AGD2021
