iting companies are available in the
exhibit hall, giving you the unique
opportunity to test out the latest
products on the market and ask questions of the experts. Touch, feel and
compare thousands of instruments
and services from the top industry
vendors. Pay extra attention to new
products and show specials so you can
make the most of your time.
Over at the Henry Schein One
booth, for instance, the company
is showing off the new Dentrix G7,
featuring integration with imaging
software and Dentrix Smart Image.
By integrating imaging solutions
through Dentrix Smart Image, practitioners can access images from a
single place in Dentrix — the Patient
Chart — which improves workflows
for case diagnosis and acceptance.
AD
This award-winning practicemanagement system integrates with
the industry’s leading digital-imaging
solutions to enhance both clinical
and financial workflow and improve
efficiencies for diagnosis and billing.
Visit booth No. 1400 for more information.
New technology is also available at the Designs for Vision booth,
No. 905. The company’s new LED
DayLite Micro HDi uses new highdefinition imaging in an ultralightweight headlight in combination
with the new Micro power pack.
According to the company, the Micro
is the market’s lightest and smallest power pack. The complete unit
includes two power packs, and each
power pack can run up to 10 hours.
Designs for Vision also has added
high-definition imaging to the LED
DayLite WireLess Mini HDi, providing
a lightweight cordless solution with
light intensity comparable to many
corded headlights. You can choose
high-definition imaging with either a
wired or wireless design to meet your
preference, and either HDi headlight
will illuminate the entire oral cavity.
If you’re looking for a deal, stop
by the Solvay Dental 360 booth,
No. 1043. The company has a big deal
on its Ultaire AKP partials: Get two
for the price of one. The polymer for
removable partial denture frames is
a breakthrough because it’s not too
rigid (like metal) and not too flexible
(like other polymers). It’s described
as metal-free, tooth-supported, bonelike, lightweight and comfortable.
Of course, there are plenty more
exhibitors and products to check out
beyond just these. The exhibit hall
is open until 3 p.m. today and from
7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

photographic skills
or experience
By Shofu Dental Staff
n According to Shofu Dental, capturing high-quality clinical photographs in a predictable and consistent
manner has been the hallmark of
EyeSpecial C-II, the first digital camera designed exclusively for dentistry.
A fourth-time recipient of the
prestigious Cellerant’s Best in Class
Technology Award, the EyeSpecial
C-II captures images for case documentation, diagnosis and treatment
planning, patient communication and
education, insurance verification,
legal documentation and dental lab
collaboration.
Proprietary to Shofu’s camera are
dental-specific,
pre-programmed
shooting modes that enable clinicians, assistants, hygienists and dental laboratory technicians to navigate through their photography tasks
without the need of extensive photographic knowledge or experience.
For instance, in order to record
orthodontic photographs with the
EyeSpecial camera, an operator will
just need to select the button corresponding to FACE MODE to capture
extraoral images.
In a similar method, an operator
will choose STANDARD MODE to
achieve anterior and buccal intraoral
photographs, and MIRROR MODE to
accomplish occlusal pictures.
For every step of any photo series,
the EyeSpecial will automatically
set the appropriate f-stop, aperture
and focal length to deliver an ideal
photograph, leaving an operator with
the selection of a pre-programmed
mode.
Incorporating intuitive, high-tech
functions tailored specifically for
dentistry, the EyeSpecial camera is
designed to handle dental applica-

tions without requiring any retrofitted add-ons. Specifically, one of
the more useful features of Shofu’s
camera is the ISOLATE SHADE MODE,
which instantly grays out the gingival
tissue to improve visual perspicacity
for accurate shade analysis and communication with a dental laboratory
technician.
When combined with a draw/edit
function, which allows for making
notes directly on images, this attribute may be of value for an effective
treatment evaluation or a discussion
about the progress or challenges in a
treatment modality.
Equipped with a cropped-frame,
high-resolution sensor and ultrainnovative FlashMatic module, a proprietary system of ring and dual-point
flashes, Shofu’s camera demonstrates
true-color reproduction and an exceptional depth-of-field range, according
to the company.
Here in Honolulu
For a live camera demonstration and
to learn how the new EyeSpecial C-III
can improve communication with your
dental laboratory and patients, stop by
the Shofu booths, Nos. 1111 and 1444.
The EyeSpecial also possesses
anti-shake attributes to ensure clear
images. The panoramic LCD screen
of the camera is larger than displays
and viewfinders of typical digital
single-lens-reflex (DSLR) and pointand-shoot cameras, and it can be operated with a gloved hand.
The screen employs gridlines that
facilitate a proper image alignment,
helping reduce the risk of photographing patients at an incorrect
angle.
Engineered to provide functionality, the ultralight (weighing ca.
1 lb) EyeSpecial camera complies
with the most stringent infection
control protocols. The heavy-duty
camera’s body is water-, chemicaland scratch-resistant, and it can be
swiftly disinfected with a sterilizing
towelette, virtually eliminating the
possibility of cross-contamination.
The latest model of this smart
camera, EyeSpecial C-III, is packed
with plenty of milestone upgrades,
including a larger sensor, a faster
processor, optimized software and
a higher resolution LCD screen, all
of which will help the entire dental
team achieve their photography tasks
in a more intuitive, faster and easier
fashion, the company asserts.
For a live camera demonstration and to learn how the new
EyeSpecial C-III can improve communication with your dental laboratory
and patients, visit Shofu’s booths,
Nos. 1111 and 1444.

Patients discover the advantages
of a metal-free, lightweight,
comfortable option for RPDs
By Solvay Dental 360 Staff
n Solvay Dental 360 went to the
source to gain perspective on the
patient experience for its metal-free
removable partial dentures made
with Ultaire™ AKP.
™
‘Very comfortable, very
lightweight, very easy
to speak with’
For decades, Connie wore low-quality
upper and lower partial dentures with
poor occlusion, putting her remaining
teeth at risk. She was eager to try a
metal-free option, especially when
she heard it was lightweight, comfortable and biocompatible.
“The Ultaire is very comfortable,
very lightweight and very easy to
speak with. I don’t feel that it moves
as I talk or eat,” Connie said. “I feel
that it follows the contour of my
mouth more, and it’s very much more
comfortable. If someone approached
me about the Ultaire product, I would
definitely tell them that it’s a good
product and absolutely try it!”

To take advantage of a special offer —
two Ultaire AKP partials for the price
of one — be sure to visit booth No. 1043.
‘Ultaire is great, it’s fantastic,
I love it’
For years, Zitta had worn metal dentures with clasps that left her mouth
scarred and sore. Then Zitta’s dentist
prescribed Ultaire AKP metal-free
removable partial dentures, and her
mouth pain became a thing of the
past.
Made from high-performance polymer and molded to the shape of the
individual patient’s mouth, Ultaire
AKP dentures lock into place with
smooth, stationary, bone-like clasps.
At the final try-in appointment,
Zitta surprised everyone by dancing
with joy about the fit and feel of her
new Ultaire AKP partial.
“Ultaire filled out my mouth better.
It transformed my whole face,” Zitta
said. “Ultaire is great. It’s fantastic.
I love it.”

The day Jaclyn’s dentist first put
the new Ultaire AKP partial denture
in her mouth, Jaclyn could feel the
difference immediately, “It actually
fit perfectly the first time ... It has
been life-changing for me,” she said.
“Eating with the new Ultaire frame,
it’s like I have my molars back. I mean,
most of the time I forget I even have it
in my mouth.”

‘It has been life-changing for me’
Two years ago, Jaclyn was fitted with a

her missing back molars. But her
partial was tighter on one side than
the other, and it tended to trap food
underneath the metal. Adjustments

Planmeca USA introduces
its ULD certification program
By Planmeca USA Staff
n
In March, during the Hinman
Dental Meeting in Atlanta, Planmeca
USA introduced a unique certification program designed to encourage
dialogue between patients and their
dental practitioners on imaging radiation levels.
The Helsinki, Finland-based dental technology company, with North
American headquarters in Roselle,
Ill., manufactures and sells imaging
equipment, such as the Planmeca
ProMax® 3D family of units.
This CBCT system has a unique
ultra-low-dose (ULD) feature that
delivers a lower dose of radiation
while achieving imaging quality that
allows orthodontists to provide an
optimal diagnosis.
AD
“A Planmeca ProMax
3D system using ULD can
drastically reduce patient
radiation by up to 77 percent
— without a statistical reduction in image quality,” said
Planmeca USA in a press
release.
The company cited a study published by Dr. J.B. Ludlow and D.
Koivisto that demonstrates radiation
doses used in dental imaging can be
reduced without loss of diagnostic
quality. The company is not aware of
any other dental imaging manufacturer, with an independent study, that
can claim the same.
Because of attention in the lay
press about this issue, it’s more likely
that dental patients, too, may have
questions and concerns.
To help encourage these
conversations about imaging safety, Planmeca USA
developed a complimentary
ULD certification program
exclusively for Planmeca
ProMax 3D ULD-capable
systems.
ULD certification program
features:
• Planmeca ULD certified office
display materials to inform patients
that you are using advanced safety/
quality care X-ray equipment.
• Access to downloadable digital
materials for use on your website and
social media outlets to educate and
market your practice as Planmeca
ULD certified.
• Ability to become part of a
