“Improvements in the oral
health of Arab nations are
definitely needed”
An interview with Prof. Manal A. Awad
At the upcoming AEEDC Dubai, Prof. Manal
A. Awad from the University of Sharjah’s College of Dentistry in the United Arab Emirates
will be holding a presentation on the relationship between the body mass index and
periodontitis in diabetic patients. In this
short interview, she gives new insight into
the state of oral health in Arab countries, and
why more research is needed to address oral
health care needs.
Z-Cut Diamond Instruments
The abrasive Z-Cut with special grit size of
less than 80 μm - ideal and rapid results
Today international: Prof. Awad, how
would you generally describe the state of
oral health in the Arab world right now,
and what are the most common features
most countries share?
Cultural values appear to have a significant impact on health in general. For example, in the Arab world, loss of teeth is still
widely accepted as part of ageing. This
should not be the case, especially with the
observed increase in life expectancy. Accordingly, raising the public’s awareness
about oral health and its effect on general
health should be highlighted better by
health care professionals. Improvements in
the oral health of Arab nations are definitely
needed.
What are the main differences with regard to oral health?
Differences among Arab countries are
mainly evident in the utilisation of health
care. Financial considerations may have a
significant impact on people seeking health
care and this is particularly true for
oral health care,
which is seldom
covered by insurance. However, in
countries where
oral health care is
free, it is evident
that people are more likely to visit dentists
for treatments that could be regarded as
more advanced and probably more expensive.
Prof. Manal A. Awad
cient, particularly for the adult population. Is this a problem only related to periodontal disease or does this relate to
oral health data in general?
This problem extends to other oral health
problems, too. For example, we do not have
enough data on the prevalence of dental
caries, malocclusion and other oral health
problems, especially in the GCC countries.
This data are extremely important for policymakers and stakeholders to plan oral health
“...community engagement
is very important.”
Abutments made from zirconia are
the perfect solution for all-ceramic
superstructures.
These abutments can now be shaped
using the new Z-Cut diamond instruments. The NTI special grit size of less
than 80 μm prevents the zirconia from
being damaged.

The formation of cracks and the
breaking out of crystals from the zirconia is avoided.
The great stability of the special grit
means that the instrument has a very
long lifetime. The new bond prevents
the diamond grit from breaking out
for unbeatable grinding performance.

Living standards have increased in the
Arab world in the last decades, at least in
most of the Gulf states. In your opinion,
has oral health kept up with this development?
There are known oral health problems,
such as the relatively high prevalence of dental caries among children in most Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Although
there is ample data showing the extent of
oral health problems among these children,
more efforts are needed to reduce the incidence of dental caries in these early age
groups. Efforts should include oral health
promotion and education of parents and children about proper methods to maintain good
oral hygiene.
For effectively reducing the burden of
dental caries and periodontal disease, community engagement is very important. Attempts to change people’s perceptions about
their oral health are essential to produce desired results.
In a recent literature review you co-authored, it was found that epidemiological data on the prevalence of periodontal
disease in most Arab countries is insuffi-
interventions that could address these problems and reduce the burden of oral health-related problems in these populations. However, research requires financial support,
which could be regarded as one of the main
obstacles to obtaining population-based data
in many Arab countries.
What can new studies contribute to the
improvement of oral health in the Arab
world?
Studies that address oral health needs
among adults and elderly groups of patients
are important for planning future health
care. More research can provide muchneeded evidence for policymakers to implement oral health programmes that address
those who need them most.
Decisions made based on research conducted in other countries, however, may not
provide an accurate picture about outcomes
of certain interventions. For example, in
planning oral health promotion and education programmes, understanding cultural
values, beliefs and social structure in the
Arab world is important. Culture-specific
values influence patient roles and expectations, and these must be taken into consideration when planning interventions that intend to change people’s behaviour to improve their health.
Thank you very much for the interview.

Changes in the oral health workforce:
More prevention, public health and leadership
By Dr Jack Dillenberg, USA
While great progress has been
made in the prevention of dental
caries, the global incidence and
prevalence of oral diseases has not
diminished, especially among children. There are many preventive
interventions available, including
fluoridation, dental sealants, fluoride varnish, regular dental visits
and good oral hygiene that can effectively reduce tooth decay and
periodontal disease.
Current research and practice
have continued to underscore the
continuing lack of oral health maintenance among many groups
throughout the world. Unfortunately, the low priority that is
placed on oral health among many
individuals from diverse cultures
continues to affect the universal implementation of these effective and
inexpensive measures negatively.
There is increasing evidence to
support the association between
oral health and systemic or overall
health. The association between
periodontal disease and a variety
of systemic illnesses continues to
emerge and underscores the need
for an interdisciplinary approach
to address both oral health and general medical care. These numbers
are amplified in low-income, disabled and other underserved
groups. In the US, federal and state
financial support for oral health
services for low-income populations and those with complex medical conditions or intellectual disabilities continues to erode.
The ageing of the dentist population, projected retirements and
maldistribution of providers coupled with an increasing population
support the projections of significant provider shortages in the
decades to come. Health professions in general and the dental profession in particular have to recruit, educate and promote a new
kind of health provider, one that is
community minded, service oriented with leadership skills and
committed to interprofessional col-
laboration and utilising innovative
technology (such as SMS) to meet
the compelling societal needs the
health system requires. This includes behavioural health, social
determinants of health and population-based health issues, in addition to the traditional dental issues
of the past.
So what does this mean for the
future of oral health care delivery,
the type of systems that should be
in place and the type of dentist
needed to meet these needs? How
will the dental professional workforce have to change to address the
health and societal issues affecting
health and wellness throughout
the world?
The selection of dental school
candidates in years past focused on
candidates that were analytical
and had a strong science background with good hand skills. The
anticipated outcome after graduation from dental school was establishing a solo private practice in

the geographic area of their choice.
Not much attention was paid to
community service or volunteer
experience, leadership skills and
an understanding of basic public
health principles. The current societal needs and demands are changing the skill sets needed for success
as a dentist and the practice environment in which dental graduates will find themselves.
Dental school applicants today
must have the academic prowess
to succeed in the rigorous science
courses they will take in dental
school, but they must have other
critical skills to succeed and flourish. Dental students will now learn
to a level of competency, not just
productivity; they will treat patients with special needs, collaborate with other health professionals in friendly interprofessional
settings, and participate in community-based activities to develop the
communication and leadership
skills to thrive in an interdisciplinary work environment.
This new culture of health care
delivery incorporates prevention
and personal responsibility for an
individual’s health and well-being.
The new dentist will have to be
comfortable practising in this environment, utilising skills, training
and experience reminiscent of the
stomatological training of physician-dentists of the past. Dr Norman Gevitz, a historian of the stomatological movement in American
dentistry, notes, “Today’s dentists
need to be more broadly trained in
general medicine and public
health in order to more effectively
respond to the oral and other related health needs of their patients
and the larger community.”
This Wednesday, Dr Jack Dillenberg
will be presenting a paper during
the Dental Education Problems and
Solutions Session, which is part of
the AEEDC Dubai 2014 scientific
programme. He is currently President of Dillenberg & Friends, a
health services consulting provider
in the US.

Root canal instrumentation is
one of the major tools for ensuring
the long-term success of root canal
therapy.1, 2 The aim is to mechanically disrupt as much biofilm as
possible so that with the addition
of irrigants and/or intra-canal
medicaments a very low microbial
count can consistently be achieved
before the filling of the root canal.
Another aim or challenge of root
canal instrumentation is to achieve
the microbial reduction goals
mentioned above without unnecessarily weakening the root by
over-instrumentation, for example
through the reduction of the dentinal wall thickness. Preservation of
native structure, especially in the
cervical region of the tooth has
been demonstrated to correspond
to better long-term survivability
from a loading and restorative
standpoint. It is well established
that as the remaining dentine
thickness decreases so does the
root’s resistance to fracture.3
In evaluating anatomical studies, it is striking that they are consistent. Figure 1 best summarises
the anatomical aims for a mandibular molar. The mesiobuccal and
mesiolingual canals are at the
1 mm measurement from the apical foramen, which corresponds
most closely to the dentinocemental junction. In the mesiodistal direction, the diameters are 0.21 and
0.28 mm respectively, thus finishing at a 25 file would appear to be
sufficient when viewed on a periapical radiograph, since the
mesiodistal direction is what we
see on the radiograph. However,
when we look in the buccolingual
direction, the correct files sizes are
between 35 and 40. For the distal
canal, a size 35 would appear adequate on the radiograph (mesiodistal view) but the correct size would
be 50.
In order to achieve the goals
mentioned above, we should aim
for 35, 40 or 50 apical sizes with no
more than a 0.04 taper.4–6 These bi-
ological sizes with the addition of
an adequate irrigation protocol
will ensure a consistently low microbial count for maximal success.

every file. The biological sizes mentioned above can be achieved with
three files every time once a glide
path has been established. The system was designed in such a way
that these sizes are attained with
minimal removal of dentine coronally to maintain the strength of
the root. Moreover, the Race file
has a non-screw-in design and triangular cross-section to increase
BT2 (parallel 35 file with BT)
The BT2 file (Fig. 5) is used to
prepare the apical third of the
canal. It is extremely flexible owing to its non-tapered design, yet
penetrates into the narrow canal
easily and efficiently with the BT.
BT3 (35.04 file with BT)
This file (Fig. 5) is used to join
the coronal and apical preparations created by the BT1 and BT2
files and thus create a 35.04 final
shape that allows maximal irrigation and a tight cone fit. The file is
able to go to working length with
minimal stress, since the coronal
third has been cleared with the
BT1 file and the apical third with
the BT2 file. Importantly in this
canal, the maximum diameter at
the 12 mm level is 0.83 mm. Consequently, the removal of coronal
dentine is minimal, allowing for
the strongest root possible after
restoration.
BT-Race XL: BT 40 (40.04 file) and
BT 50 (50.04 file), 600–800 rpm
These two instruments (Fig. 6)enable finishes at ISO 40 and 50 when
adequate apical sizes require larger
sizes. If even larger apical preparations than ISO 50 are required, the
Race range of instruments is recommended in the required sizes, preferably with a small taper of 0.02.
With this unique file system, all
canals can be conservatively in-
7
strumented to the correct biological sizes while maintaining maximum cervical tooth structure. The
BT ensures that the original canal
shape is maintained, thus keeping
even the larger files centred in the
canal. Through this advantage, in
addition to the minimal taper required to achieve these biological
sizes, the canal is maximally
cleaned without weakening or
stressing the root.

flexibility and cutting efficiency. It
is also electropolished to decrease
the effects of torsional and cyclic
fatigue (Fig. 2).
The Booster Tip (BT; Fig. 3) is the
key feature of these files however.
It allows them to follow curvatures
in canals without undue stress on
the file or the root. The BT starts as
a non-cutting tip from 0–0.15 mm
diameter and the cutting edges
start from 0.15 mm and upwards on
the file (Fig. 4).
Essential steps for the successful use of the BT-Race sequence are
the following:
Glide path
In order to guarantee a minimal
number of file breakages, a glide
path to size 15.02 is essential. Hand
files can usually achieve this aim.
However, if a 6 or 10 file is extremely difficult to take to working
length, ScoutRace files allow one to
achieve this requirement more
quickly.
Speed of 800–1,000 rpm
A high speed reduces the risk of
breakage due to torsional fatigue.
As these files are for use with individual patients only, the possibility
of breakage from cyclic fatigue is
also reduced.
BT1 (10.06 file)
This file (Fig. 5) establishes the
final glide path and determines the
coronal diameter. In any canal in
which a 15.02 glide path has been
established, the file will contact
mainly the coronal third of the
canal. At 12 mm from the working
length, the diameter will be
0.82 mm.
These files have no BT, since the
tip diameter is already 0.10 mm
and smaller than the glide path established with a 15.02 K-file.

“Reach a point where dental restorative
materials are rare for everybody”
An interview with Christopher H. Fox, Executive Director of the International Association for Dental Research
The adoption of the Minamata
Convention in Japan recently
made way for a ban on mercurycontaining products on a worldwide scale. Provision was also
made for phasing down the use of
and trade in dental amalgam. Dental Tribune International had the
opportunity to speak with the Executive Director of the International Association for Dental Research (IADR), Christopher H. Fox,
who attended four of the intergov-
duction of atmospheric emissions
of mercury, as well as mercury
releases on land and in water.
Dental amalgam is included in
the treaty as a mercury-added
product contributing to the global
demand for mercury. In this regard, it is important to note that
the treaty calls for phasing down
the use of dental amalgam, as opposed to phasing out or banning
the use of it. This will give the
You were involved in some of
the intergovernmental negotiating committee sessions in the
run-up to the Convention. What
were the most discussed issues
in formulating the treaty, and
did the outcome meet the expectations of those involved in
dentistry?
The most discussed dental
amalgam issue was a ban versus a
phase-down. Led by the Responsible Officer for the WHO Global
Oral Health Programme, Dr Poul
Erik Petersen, a coalition of concerned dental organisations was
able to show country negotiators
that a ban would be detrimental to
population oral health. Dental
amalgam is a safe and effective
dental restoration and remains
the best restorative choice in
many clinical situations or health
system situations. As with any
complex negotiation, the outcome
has met many people’s expectations, but there are those who
would have preferred a phase-out
health effects of the use of dental
amalgam.
Mercury poisoning from amalgam is mostly found in countries where recycling of the material is insufficient. Is this not
a more pressing issue that
should be addressed globally?
The proper handling of dental
amalgam and its waste must be adhered to by the dental profession
and the health facilities in which
they work. In addition to the provision in the Minamata Convention calling for best environmental practices, there is a provision
calling for dental amalgam to be
used only in its encapsulated
state. Only some countries require the use of dental amalgam
separators and many more dental
professional organisations are
calling for their universal use.
Even if we were successful with
our oral health promotion programmes however and could stop
IADR–FDI workshop on dental
materials. Is there any viable
alternative, and what needs to
be done to implement and sustain its use in the future?
The symposium at the recent
FDI Annual World Dental Congress
in Istanbul was actually a muchcondensed summary of a two-day
workshop held in December 2012
at King’s College London. In brief,
yes, we can have much-improved,
innovative dental restorative materials, but it is going to take a significant commitment from government funders, academia and industry. Keep in mind that even if a
new material could be developed
within a one- or two-year time
frame, clinical safety and effectiveness trials and regulatory approvals will take significantly
more time. Practising dentists have
an important role here too, as they
can participate in research networks evaluating new materials
and identifying research questions, not to mention advocating for

ernmental negotiating committee
sessions on behalf of the dental
profession, about the impact this
could have on dentistry and the
future of dental amalgam as a
restorative dental material.
DTI: The recently adopted Minamata Convention on Mercury includes provisions on
phasing down dental amalgam
on a global scale. What impact
do you think this will have on
the dental community and particularly restorative dentistry
in the long run?
Christopher Fox: I think it
must be first pointed out that the
Minamata Convention is a very
broad treaty designed to reduce
all use of and international trade
in mercury, as well as the demand
for mercury in products and
processes. In addition, it is intended to address the need for the re-
industry and profession time to
make a transition and preserve
dental restorative choices for our
profession and patients.
One of the provisions for phasing down dental amalgam is
for countries to set national
objectives aimed at dental caries
prevention and health promotion,
thereby minimising the need for
any dental restoration. A greater
emphasis on prevention and
health promotion is indeed welcome and will provide the greatest benefit to populations.
Another provision promotes research and development of alternative dental restorative materials. So, in the long run, dentistry
and restorative dentistry, in particular, will have improved dental
restorative materials from which
to choose for their patients.
Another area of discussion was
the need for best environmental
practices in dental facilities to reduce releases of mercury and mercury compounds to water and
land. Dentistry must be a good
steward of the environment and
implement best environmental
practices for dental amalgam, as
well as for all other dental materials, medical waste and consumables.
You mention that in the dental
community amalgam is still
considered to be effective and
safe. So why phase down its use
at all?
Dental amalgam is a safe and effective restoration. The US National Institute of Dental and
Craniofacial Research funded two
large-scale randomised clinical
trials on the safety of dental amalgam in children and failed to find
any adverse health effects. The
reason for the agreed-upon phasedown is solely the environmental
and health effects of mercury in
the environment, not the direct
using dental amalgam tomor row
by the introduction of next-generation dental restorative materials,
dental facilities would need dental amalgam separators in place
for at least a generation as currently placed dental amalgams
come to the end of their life cycle
and need to be replaced.
According to the Convention, a
number of products containing
mercury will be banned from
2020. Do you believe that amalgam will still play a major role
in restorative dentistry by that
time?
Seven years is a short time
frame when we are relying on a research and development pipeline
to deliver improved dental restorative materials. Without being too
pessimistic, a typical research and
development time frame from discovery to clinical use in the pharmaceutical arena is 17 years. So,
I believe dental amalgam will still
be with us in 2020, but I am optimistic it will play a much-reduced
role in restorative dentistry.
Alternatives to mercury-containing dental filling material
were discussed last year at an
research funding with policymakers in their country.
For a more complete answer to
your question, I would refer your
readers to the proceedings, which
have just been published in the November issue of the Advances in
Dental Research, an e-supplement
to the Journal of Dental Research.
With the advent of preventative dentistry, stem cell research and the sophistication
of tooth replacements, will
restorative materials become
obsolete someday?
Dental restorative materials
are already obsolete or nearly
obsolete for the socially advantaged post-fluoride generation.
Our greatest challenge is addressing the oral health needs of socially disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. The IADR has a
research agenda to reduce these
oral health inequalities across
populations and hopefully we will
reach a point at which dental
restorative materials are rare for
everybody.
Thank you very much for the
interview.

Current perspectives on oral surgery
How to improve consistency and implementation of contemporary treatment recommendations and options
in general dental practice
By Dr Ziad Noujeim, Lebanon
The term “surgery” is derived
from the Greek words “chir”
(hand) and “ergos” (work). According to this etymology, surgery
should include any clinical work
implemented with our hands. In
daily clinical practice, however,
the use of this word is often limited to practical therapeutic acts,
such as those involving cutting
soft tissue (incisions), flap raising,
osteotomies and reconstruction,
as well as repairing and dressing
living tissue. The term “oral” pertains to the mouth (or oral cavity),
and oral surgery would consequently encompass maxillary sinus membrane lifts, onlay and inlay bone grafts, the placement of
dental osseointegrated implants,
exodontia (including surgical extraction of impacted teeth and
tooth-like structures), as well as
the incision and drainage of cellulitis, just to name a few. Despite
these different fields of use, the
limits of oral surgery are not yet
well defined and may reach maxillofacial surgery, a term that implies a greater scope of surgical
interest, such as temporomandibular joint surgery, orthognathic
surgery, the treatment of head and
neck trauma, as well as cancer surgery.
General dental practitioners
are only required to undertake
surgical treatment of teeth, toothAD
like structures, and soft tissue surrounding teeth. In this regard, the
UK General Dental Council defines “surgical dentistry” as
“those surgical procedures within
the mouth which would normally
be accomplished for a cooperative
patient under local anaesthesia, with or without sedation,
in a tolerably short operating
time.”
In the past 30 years, oral
surgery has progressed significantly in the diagnosis and
treatment of dental and jaw
pathology. Dentistry, particularly surgical dentistry, is rapidly changing and evolving,
and dentists worldwide are attempting to adapt to the revolutionary changes and new
opportunities resulting from
globalisation of dental and
medical surgical specialties.
New insights and discoveries
related to oral surgery are indeed astonishing and many of
them have already been applied in everyday practice, and
addressed in textbooks and at
international conventions.
mined that Er:YAG laser treatment produces well-defined

sites irradiated with Er:YAG
lasers. In addition, Fourier trans-
Dr Ziad Noujeim, Lebanon
The near future will probably
witness Er:YAG laser bone ablation replacing surgical drill osteotomy in oral surgical practice.
Indeed, scanning electron microscope observations have deter-
form infrared spectroscopy revealed that the chemical composition of bony surfaces after ablation with an Er:YAG laser was almost the same as that after
conventional drilling with a bur,
proving that the use of Er:YAG
laser ablation can be an alternative to traditional bur ablation in
oral and periodontal osseous surgeries, particularly in mandibular
ramus onlay block harvesting,
apicectomy, cysts and benign jaw
tumour surgery, or the irradiation
of bisphosphonate-associated jaw
osteonecrosis.
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs)
can nowadays be cryopreserved
and stored for years, while still retaining their multipotency and
bone-producing capacity. These
highly specialised cells show very
low morbidity and are easy to collect from extracted wisdom teeth
or buds, for example. They also interact with bone biomaterials and
substitutes, which makes them an
ideal cell population for jaw reconstruction. In addition, stromal
bone-producing DPSCs, a multipotent stem cell subpopulation of
DPSCs, are capable of differentiating into osteoblasts, and they are
claimed to possess immune privilege and exert anti-inflammatory
abilities like many other mesenchymal stem cells.
CBCT, which was introduced in
the late 1990s, is becoming the
main imaging armamentarium of
oral surgeries, as it provides more
and comprehensive anatomical
information and data that help to
improve preoperative and perop-
erative clinical implementation of
the extraction of impacted teeth,
cystectomies, removal of benign
jaw tumours, and placement of
dental implants.
While oral surgery continues to
develop further with new
technologies and visions, the
assessment and diagnosis of
patients will still form the cornerstone of any surgical specialty. Decision-making, a
complex cognitive process
that involves consideration of
surgical patients’ complaints
and preferences, the availability of evidence-based data, as
well as practitioners’ case-specific clinical judgement, consequently remains an ongoing
challenge for oral surgeons
and dental general practitioners alike.
Inter-clinician variability
and disparity in decision-making are very well known in
dentistry and medicine.1–5 In
oral surgery, treatment recommendations, options and decisions can vary widely among
practising dentists. In many
cases, they are based more on personal values and expertise than
on objective, rigorous or evidencebased analysis of treatment alternatives, risks, prognosis and benefits. There are treatment guidelines for the management of impacted teeth but none for
aggressive and relapsing jaw
cysts and odontogenic tumours,
for which documented long-term
treatment success has not yet
been achieved. Owing to this lack,
the treatment planning process in
oral surgery remains a dilemma
and warrants further interest and
research.
As a matter of fact, regional differences in training, education,
and dental school treatment philosophy, the “schools effect”, may
significantly influence decisionmaking processes.6, 7 It seems
likely that specialists are much
more confident in their ability to
manage surgical cases successfully. A better understanding of inter-clinician variability in collaborative decision-making will definitely help the oral health community in improving consistency and
implementation of oral surgical
treatment recommendations and
options.
One of the most promising approaches is probably the non-surgical medical treatment of tumours and lesions of the jaws, as
reported by Marx and Stern in
2003.8 They found a 65 per cent
rate of complete resolution of
central giant cell granulomas
(CGCGs) in the jaws through intralesional corticosteroid injections.
Dexamethasone and triamcinolone are currently the most popular intra-lesional steroids, and
weekly injections with these are
common practice not only for
CGCGs, but also for solitary jawbone lesions of Langerhans cell
histiocytosis, a proliferative disease of the macrophage/dendritic
cell lineage.
CGCGs, considered troublesome pathologies, are also currently medically managed by calcitonin, a polypeptide hormone
produced in humans primarily by
parafollicular cells of the thyroid
gland, C cells. Calcitonin is known
to counteract parathyroid hormone, inhibit osteoclast activity
and increase calcium influx in
bones. In this regard, salmon calcitonin, which is used in postmenopausal osteoporosis, hypercalcaemia, Paget’s disease and
bone metastases, is considered to
be more active than human calcitonin and to be an important tool
in the medical treatment of jaw tumours and lesions. The main question is whether intranasal salmon
calcitonin is as effective as subcutaneous human calcitonin in the
medical treatment of CGCGs of the
jaws.
Finally yet importantly, many
clinicians and clinical investigators believe in the radical treatment of ameloblastomas, odontogenic tumours well known for
their aggressiveness and high recurrence after conservative treatment. For these reasons, en bloc resection is often implemented,
which includes a resection of at
least 1–2 cm of normal sound jawbone beyond the tumour’s margins. Such a radical surgical procedure is unacceptable in children
with growing jaws though because segmental resection often
leads to jaw deformity and dysfunction, which in turn may hamper physical growth and the mental well-being of the child/adolescent.
At the very least, conservative
treatment of an ameloblastoma, if
indicated, will gain time until
growth of the jaw is finally complete.9 Considering that the majority of ameloblastomas in children
are unicystic and have a very low
rate of recurrence,10 they can be
managed by enucleation, a conservative form of surgical treatment.11–14
This Friday, Dr Ziad Noujeim will be
giving a presentation on oral and
maxillofacial surgery as part of the
scientific programme of AEEDC
Dubai 2014. He is a currently Director of the Oral Pathology Postgraduate Programme at the Lebanese University’s School of Dentistry in
Beirut in Lebanon.

Biolase could become the next
Intuitive Surgical
An interview with the company’s CEO Federico Pignatelli
In a recent statement, US-based
provider of dental and medical
lasers BIOLASE announced that
health care fund Camber Capital
Management in Boston in the USA
has purchased US$5 million of the
company’s common stock. DTI had
the opportunity to speak with CEO
Federico Pignatelli about what this
means for the company, mistakes
of the past and the reasons that the
company’s WaterLase technology
has the potential to revolutionise
dental surgery.
DTI: Mr Pignatelli, your company seems to have been struggling recently, according to
some analysts. What is your
company’s position right now,
and what does the recent sale of
shares to Camber Capital mean
for your business?
Federico Pignatelli: The confusion arises from the fact that we
grew 40 to 50 per cent a year for
two years and in 2013 our growth
has slowed down to “only” 15 to 20
per cent. We believe that BIOLASE will grow strongly in the
years to come. We just needed to
raise our capital with a few million dollars in order to improve
our balance sheet. This capital
raise, combined with our US$8
million Comerica Bank credit
line, will give us enough capital to
continue our plan of business expansion.
Also, as we approach the fourth
quarter we see net income and pos-
itive cash flow returning and we
are expecting this positive development to continue in 2014. So we
feel very positively about where
BIOLASE is right now.
So have the recent restructuring measures paid off?
Yes, they have paid off handsomely, but there is more to do.
I admit that in the past there have
been some unhappy customers,
but in our defence the company
back then was managed by entirely different people and was
locked into an exclusive global distribution agreement with Henry
Schein. In the new BIOLASE,
customers are the number one priority and we do what it takes to
take care of them.

Educational Network in Dentistry

What people need to realise is
that BIOLASE is a cutting-edge
technology company with a new
technology that is potentially going to radically transform the way
dental surgery is performed and
practised. As a new step in informing the marketplace about WaterLase, we have recently embarked
on a social media and press campaign to reach out to millions of
patients to educate them about the
many advantages of being treated
with BIOLASE’s technology.
We are glad to have Dr Fred
Moll, the co-founder of Intuitive
Surgical, who values our technology such that he joined our board
of directors recently. He is a legend
in the medical field because with
his company he transformed the
way surgery is approached
through the use of robotics. Thanks
to a visionary like him, today tens
of thousands of patients with cancer can be treated in a much more
precise way than ever before.
We believe BIOLASE has a technology that is so advanced and revolutionary that the company could
become the next Intuitive Surgical.
That is because with WaterLase
technology we can transform surgical dentistry for hundreds of thousands of dental practices around
the world, while providing better
and safer care for patients.
Why do you think lasers and
particularly WaterLase will be
the technology of choice in dentistry for the future?
If you think about it, dentistry
has not really changed very much
since the dental drill was invented
by the Egyptians 7,000 years ago.
The principle of removing tissue
by mechanical rotation has remained the same since that time,
with the only major change in
the past 70 years being the attachment of a high-speed engine. With
WaterLase technology, we are able
to make use of the most basic element of human tissue, water. The
human body in its entirety consists
of 60 per cent water, so water can
be found in almost all tissue. Dentine, for example, has 20 per cent
water in it. By energising water
molecules with a laser, tissue can
be cut without pain, heat, abrasion,
vibration, or the risk of microfractures. At the same time, it is also
much more precise. Clinically, this
is much better dentistry.
Furthermore, there is no need
for any anaesthetic for the patient;
99 per cent of patients can be
treated without using Novocaine.
How wonderful is that? On top of
that, laser energy kills bacteria,
viruses and fungus, and that provides another advantage for dentists, since it is almost impossible
and certainly very costly to have
surgical instrumentation like den-
Federico Pignatelli
tal burs and endodontic files fully
sterilised, and too costly to use new
instrumentation for every patient
to be treated.
With all these advantages, why
does it seem that the technology
has not been adopted widely by
dentists yet?
That is not exactly true. Since
the introduction of WaterLase technology 15 years ago, we have sold
over 10,000 units worldwide, 6,000
of which were in the USA alone.
The main challenge however is education. Dentists need to be better
educated about the return on investment and the system’s extensive clinical advantages in comparison with conventional dentistry.
In fact, only two and a half years
ago, WaterLase technology for the
very first time broke the speed barrier, which means that it now cuts
as fast as a conventional dental
drill, sometimes even faster. Furthermore, it allows impressive
treatment and cutting of soft tissue, which is something a dental
drill cannot do. These additional
options mean that dentists no
longer need to refer patients to a
specialist for these tasks, thereby
boosting revenue in the practice.
Where do you see the technology in the next five to ten years?
In contrast with other marketleading systems or technologies,
such as Sirona’s CEREC, WaterLase
is protected by over 100 patents,
which will allows us to protect our
competitive advantage. The adoption cycle of new technologies is
growing increasingly shorter and
more advanced technologies like
WaterLase will rapidly find their
way into dental practices. Dentists
that do not upgrade their practices
will likely begin to lose patients,
become uncompetitive and lag behind. You cannot fight technology;
you cannot fight innovation. If you
do, you are doomed to be left out of
the market.
We regularly ask patients
whether they would like to be
treated by a conventional dentist
or high-tech dentist, and almost
100 per cent of patients would like
to be treated by a high-tech dentist.
Therefore, we believe that WaterLase will be part of most dental
practices in the near future.
Thank you very much for the interview.

Digital technologies have become powerful tools for dentistry
By Dr Rodrigo Castillo, Spain
Digital technologies are universally present in almost every aspect
of our lives. In dentistry, they have
provided us with powerful tools for
diagnosis, treatment planning and
communication. As computers are
becoming an essential part of stateof-the-art patient care, clinicians
must stay up to date with this rapidly
developing field in order to make informed choices in their use of technology.
treatment. In addition, such software allows sharing of the planning
information among the dental team,
which facilitates the decision-making process. The advantage of being
able to present the treatment plan to
patients on a large screen makes it
an excellent tool for presenting oneself as a modern dentist.
Despite the new treatment possibilities that come with digital technology, however, important scientific criteria must still be taken into
account when creating a virtual
treatment plan in order to avoid pitfalls during the execution of the
prosthodontic or surgical dental procedures. Therefore, a treatment protocol that combines digital and traditional concepts is recommended.
This Wednesday, Dr Rodrigo Castillo
will be presenting a paper on modern
virtual dentistry as part of the scientific programme of AEEDC Dubai
2014. He maintains a private dental
practice focusing on oral rehabilitation in Murcia in Spain.

When applied effectively, clinical software can help to improve efficiency and patient satisfaction to a
large degree. Digital photography,
high-definition video and advanced
presentation software, for example,
allow us to design a virtual aesthetic
treatment plan. With the Internet,
there is the possibility of sharing
and reproducing any design with
any device that runs the same software. Moreover, the ever-increasing
storage capacity in this virtual world
allows access to information from
anywhere around the clock through
Internet-capable devices, such as
laptops and tablet computers. Communication and connectivity are the
new cornerstones of modern dental
practice.
Two of the most important contributions from the digital field for dentistry are clearly CAD/CAM and
CBCT, which allows a 3-D view of the
treatment site. This provides greater
accuracy in implant planning for
greater predictability and success of
the treatment outcome, for example.
The two technologies combined also
allow the fabrication of custommade surgical stents, which give clinicians better control in placing implants in a prosthodontically driven
way.
Clinicians must be cautious, however, when designing a treatment
plan, as an increasing number of patients are demanding minimally invasive dental procedures. The common denominator here is tissue
preservation. In this regard, digital
technologies help to enhance non-invasive or flapless surgeries.
Virtual planning procedures
have become more intuitive with
guided surgery software. Two of the
requisites of such software are user
friendliness and evaluation of the
precision of both surgical and prosthetic components, thus achieving
prosthodontically driven implant

Minamata Convention bans products,
Agrees to amalgam phase-down
Certain products containing
mercury will be banned from 2020,
according to a new international
treaty signed by governments in
Minamata in Japan. The regulations apply to the production and

Nobuteru Ishihara lay flowers in memorium
of the Minimata victims at the Opening of the
Diplomatic Conference for the Minamata
Convention on Mercury.
trade of batteries, cosmetics and
fluorescence lamps containing the
toxic material, among other products. Amalgam dental fillings are
not affected by the ban.
However, the treaty agreed on a
number of provisions on the phasing down of the controversial den-
tal material. The Convention,
which was proceeded by five intergovernmental negotiation rounds
and set in place for adoption at a
meeting in Geneva in January, was
signed by 87 countries. Governments now have three years to develop and implement national
strategies to reduce or eliminate
the production and industrial use
of the toxic metal. Mercury emission from large-scale industrial
plants, the main source of mercury
pollution worldwide, will also be
controlled.
Dental associations reacted positively to the decision, which will
permit the use of amalgam as a
restorative dental material for the
years to come. Dr Stuart Johnston
from the British Dental Association, who took part in the negotiations on behalf of the FDI World
Dental Federation, commented:
“We are delighted that the Minamata Convention allows the dental
profession continued access to a
key restorative material. Dental
amalgam is safe and effective: it
has been in use for over 150 years
and no studies have demonstrated
any harm to human health.”
He said that despite amalgam
not being banned by the treaty,
however, the dental profession is
committed to phasing down the
use of the material through the
prevention of dental diseases, the
development of alternative materials and effective amalgam management. Guidelines in this re-

spect for professionals, health officials and the public are currently
being compiled and will be released by the organisation soon.
The initial steps have already been
taken with a pilot project
launched recently by the FDI in
partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme in
East Africa that aims to train professionals in the country on managing and recycling amalgam
waste more effectively.
Amalgam remains one of the
most widely used restorative materials worldwide. Particularly in developing countries, it is often the
only affordable means of treating
dental caries, despite the availability of other methods, such as atraumatic restorative treatment. Unfortunately, it is also a significant
source of mercury pollution. Recent
national tests conducted in Pakistan, for example, found that levels
in urban dental hospitals and prac-
tices were up to 20 times higher
than acceptable levels, which was
considered largely due to poor amalgam waste management.
According to estimates by the
United Nations Environment Programme, between 300 and 400
metric tons of mercury is used in
dental fillings every year worldwide, a tenth of the world’s annual
consumption.
Dentists prone to visual illusion Dental memories
haunt brains
Objects in a mirror appearing to be
farther away than they are is a common illusion encountered by car drivers around the world every day. Misleading visual perception of an object
could also be the reason that dentists
sometimes drill larger cavities than
necessary to fill a tooth or prepare a
root canal, a team of psychologists
and dental researchers from Australia and New Zealand has suggested.
In clinical field tests involving
eight practising endodontic specialists from New Zealand and conducted
in 2002 and 2006, the researchers
found that dental professionals tend
to fall trap to the Delboeuf illusion,
which makes enclosed areas appear
smaller than they actually are when
seen in a larger context. In their case,
a cavity drilled into a tooth appeared
to be smaller when the surrounding
tissue was in range of the parameters
of the illusion, leading to more
healthy tissue being removed at the
expense of patients.
The researchers said in the report
that it remains unknown whether
dentists are aware of this when
drilling but recommended that their
findings be incorporated into the
early stages of clinical training to de-
crease the risk of cracking or perforating the root end due to having removed too much healthy tissue. It
should also be extended to other
fields of health-care treatment that
could be affected by visual illusions,
they suggested.
“When operating, health-care
providers try to save as much healthy
tissue as possible. It is important to
know that their eyes can deceive
them into removing more healthy tissue than necessary,” lead author of
the study and psychology expert
from the University of Otago in
Dunedin Prof. Robert O’Shea commented.
Named after its creator, Joseph
Remi Leopold Delboeuf, a Belgian scientist, the illusion was first documented in 1865. It has been reported
to be used by restaurants to trick customers regarding the size of their
dishes by using smaller plates, among
other things.
For the latest study, more than 20
extracted and root-filled teeth were
treated by each participant, who had
not been informed about the parameters of the illusion. The participants
were asked to remove as little tissue
as possible when preparing the teeth
and to use their usual hand instruments.
Cavities made by the participants of the study were often made too large, which could be due
to the Delboeuf illusion, which makes enclosed areas appear smaller than they actually are when
seen in a larger context. (DTI/Photo courtesy of Robert P. O’Shea, Australia)
The sound of a dental drill or
suction system evokes a feeling of
fear in almost every tenth dental
patient. New findings presented
by Japanese researchers at a recent neuroscience meeting in the
US have revealed new insights
into how the brain of anxious patients may react during treatment.
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, a neuroimaging
procedure to measure brain activity, the researchers found
stronger activity in the left caudate nucleus in anxious patients
when playing them sounds of various dental instruments. When
neutral sounds, like a French horn
or pure tone, were played, however, activity in this region was
found to be significantly lower.
No significant neural activity
was detected when the same
sounds were played to a control
group of non-anxious patients. Instead, these patients showed
stronger brain activity in the
right and left superior temporal
gyri, a part of the brain usually associated with auditory processing and other neural functions.
“Recent studies have indicated
that the basal ganglia, including
the caudate nucleus, may play a
role in learning and memory functions. The subjects in the dental
fear group therefore may be receiving feedback from memories
of sounds of dental treatment,” researcher Hiroyuki Karibe from
the Nippon Dental University’s
Department of Pediatric Dentistry in Tokyo suggested. He said
that the findings, which have not
been published yet, could be applied to assess the effectiveness
of conventional interventions for
dental fear, such as cognitive behaviour therapy.
The study is the first to have
measured how the sounds of dental instruments relate to brain activity. It confirms the assumption
that dental anxiety is mainly due
to reasons other than the fear of
experiencing pain through surgery.

Coreflon sutures–A reliable, versatile,
innovative and price attractive product
An interview with Dr Jaroslaw Pospiech, Head of R&D at Implacore
With Coreflon, the Polish company
Implacore is offering a new surgical
suture with various benefits for clinicians and patients. Head of the Implacore’s R&D department and oral surgeon Dr Jaroslaw Pospiech spoke
about the product and the advantages it offers for oral surgery.
Dr Jaroslaw Pospiech
Dr Pospiech, what makes Coreflon unique?
Dr Pospiech: Our new PTFE surgical suture Coreflon was created in
response to the increasing interest
in the implantology and plastic surgery market. It is the first smooth
PTFE surgical suture (dPTFE) without micropores. This reduces dental
plaque adhesion and accumulation
of bacteria and food residues very effectively. The softer thread ensures
maximal reduction of tissue micro
damage and is easy to remove owing
to the lower capillarity.
The product also offers benefits
to the patients in form of a durable
surgical knot that does not loosen.
Moreover, the ends of the suture do
not cause irritation of the chick, lips
and tongue.
Does the type of thread and needle really matters that much?
The variety of suture materials
and needles available on the market
can be overwhelming and therefore
choice for a specific suture is oftentimes based on personal preferences. The idea of using a black needle was taken from cardiovascular
surgery, where it has been used owing to its non-reflective surface and
higher contrast it has against the
blood and soft tissues. Our surgical
needles are made of very high quality steel, that combined with a white
PTFE, provide excellent visibility in
the surgical field.
How long did it take from the concept to the launch of the product?
We spend almost three years on
the development of the final product. Coreflon was certified by TÜV
Rheinland in Germany, one of the
most stringent notification bodies in
Europe, and meets all standards of
medical directive. Each thread is
subject to quality assessment resulting from the quality standards.
These controls and rigorous testing
procedures are supposed to guarantee a reliable product of a excellent
quality.
Have you received any feedback from users of the product?
So far, the feedback has been
very positive as you can see from
AD
most of the comments posted on
our website. Most users are reporting that it is a very good and versatile product which is amazing to
work with in comparison to other
market leading brands. Doctors are
also content with the excellent
properties of Coreflon, especially
15
with the thread’s ability to stretch
and to return to its original shape.
What are your plans for the future of Coreflon?
We offer a reliable, versatile, innovative and price attractive product. Implacore is now focused on
developing and manufacturing a
wider range of Coreflon sizes. This
will result in better options for dentists and better solutions for patients. Stay tuned!

“Take CAD/CAM to the next level”
Planmeca’s vice-president on the company’s strategic investment in E4D Technologies
Finnish dental technology manufacturer Planmeca has recently
made a significant equity investment in the US-based high-tech
medical device company E4D Technologies. In this interview, vicepresident at the Planmeca Group
and acting CEO for E4D Technolo-
gies Tuomas Lokki sheds light on
this new venture.
today international: Mr Lokki, why
did Planmeca choose to invest in
E4D Technologies?
Tuomas Lokki: We believe in the
tremendous possibilities and future
growth of CAD/CAM dentistry. As
dentistry will be completely digital in
the future, we believe it is vital to invest in the development of new and
efficient practices. E4D is a long-term
leader in advancing modern CAD/
CAM dentistry, so we knew that joining forces with this high-tech medical
device company would be a valuable
addition to our own leading expertise
in 3-D imaging and software solutions. Their special expertise and innovative ideas provide a great foundation for future projects that will
combine the know-how of both companies.

What advantages will this investment offer dental customers
worldwide?
The new partnership with E4D
Technologies will enable us to offer
our customers the most modern
CAD/CAM innovations. Our product
distribution in over 120 countries
combined with the cutting-edge E4D
innovations will increase global product availability and take computeraided dentistry to the next level. Our
customers will also benefit from the
innovative combination and seamless integration of Planmeca’s and
E4D’s products and services.
How will this improve the daily
workflow at clinics?
One great advantage is the integration of X-ray imaging and CAD/CAM
into a single software platform, Planmeca Romexis. For the first time, customers will have the option of one software interface for both X-ray imaging
and CAD/CAM work. All patient data
is also saved in the same database and
it can be shared immediately and easily through the clinic’s network or
with the Planmeca Romexis Cloud
service. Furthermore, the restorations designed in the CAD module can
easily be combined with the patient’s
3-D X-ray images for implant planning
purposes, for example. For the patients, this means convenient sameday dentistry.
Can you also tell us about the
brand new intra-oral scanner that
you launched recently?
Our new Planmeca PlanScan intraoral scanner is an ultra-fast, powderfree and open solution for 3-D digital
impressions. Its advanced blue laser
technology accurately captures hard
and soft tissue of various translucencies, dental restorations, models and
impressions. It is the world’s first dental unit-integrated intra-oral scanner
and can be used through a laptop as a
standalone version. Together with our
Planmeca Romexis software, the system supports an ideal digital treatment workflow.
How will both Planmeca and E4D
benefit from this investment?
On the one hand, this investment
strengthens Planmeca’s position in
the fast-growing CAD/CAM business
and Planmeca benefits from E4D’s
cutting-edge solutions and long-term
CAD/CAM expertise. On the other
hand, Planmeca’s extensive distribution network enables E4D Technologies to grow globally and our leading
dental imaging solutions will be a
valuable addition to the E4D
CAD/CAM platform.
A billion smiles welcome the world of dentistry
www.fdi2014.org.in
www.fdiworldental.org
Has this venture created any new
needs for your company?
Definitely, as we need to provide
extensive CAD/CAM training for our
distribution and customer network in
over 120 countries. Therefore, we
have recently invested in new training, warehouse and production facilities alongside our Helsinki headquarters. These new 10,000 sq. m. facilities
will help us address the growing need
for training and education in this new
field of dentistry.
We are thrilled to be able to take
CAD/CAM to the next level. Our innovations will change the concept of
same-day dentistry completely and facilitate the workflow of dental professionals worldwide.
Thank you very much for the interview.

INIBSA DENTAL PRESENTS RANGE OF ANAESTHETICS
In daily practice, dental professionals deal with a wide range of
patients, as well as pathogens.
Therefore, it is important to select
the appropriate anaesthetic for
each treatment and patient considering factors such as the need for
post-operative pain control, the required haemostasis, the risk of
post-operative self-inflicted injuries, as well as any existing con-
tra-indications to the selected local anaesthetic.
Inibsa Dental asserts that it has
the right anaesthetic to suit every
patient. The Spanish company offers a comprehensive range of
safe, convenient and effective
anaesthetics for every type of dental procedure. Its local anaesthetics are aseptically manufactured
and it makes use of siliconecoated, latex-free rubber

According to Planmeca, the
new mode provides clinicians
with perfect visualisation of even
the smallest anatomical details.
Owing to new intelligent noise
and artefact removal algorithms,
noise-free and crystal-clear images can be produced, the Finnish
dental equipment manufacturer
said. With Planmeca ARA, for example, artefacts resulting from
metal restorations and root fillings in the patient’s mouth that
cause shadows and streaks in
CBCT images can be removed effectively. In addition, the new
Planmeca AINO Adaptive Image
Noise Optimiser is intended to reduce noise in CBCT images resulting from a particularly low radiation dose or small voxel size without losing valuable details. The
company said that the filter particularly improves image quality
in the endodontic mode, where
noise is inherent due to the extremely small voxel size. It has
also proven useful when used in
accordance with the Planmeca
Ultra Low Dose protocol, where
noise is induced by the particularly low dose.
Planmeca AINO also allows
the reduction of exposure values and consequently the radiation dose in all other imaging
modes, according to Planmeca.

PRODUCT NEWS FROM NTI
NEWLY AWARDED PRODUCTS ON DISPLAY BY A-DEC
Dental manufacturer NTI from
Germany is to present new instruments at this year’s AEEDC Dubai,
including cutters for achieving
uniform surfaces on non-precious
metals, as well as glass fibre posts
and instruments for inlay preparation. The latter were designed to
meet the demand for smooth cavity floors through correct functional and instrumental realisation, particularly in aesthetic solutions.
The InPrep achieves exact and
super-smooth results in seconds,
according to the company. It features a central inactive guide surface intended to prevent unwanted preparation at greater
depths. Owing to its upright positioning, the InPrep thus maintains
the set depth while the floor of the
cavity is prepared to a smooth finish.
NTI has also announced a revolution in
glass fibre post technology with its FiberMaster
TopHead. The heads were
developed for the posts
based on the company’s reliable conical FiberMaster
to ensure secure fixation of
temporary prostheses. According to the company, repeated endodontic treatment with simultaneous
stabilisation of the tooth is
now possible. The risk of
breakage is significantly reduced, since the post is inserted two-thirds into the
prepared tooth, it said.
The head can be positioned according to the length of the post,
which allows the post length in
the root to be fully utilised without
having to compromise stability of
the head. The axial and lateral
masticatory forces are thus completely transferred to the prepared tooth.
According to NTI, the head can
also be used without a post, a feature that allows the secure fixing
of a temporary prosthesis before
endodontic treatment has been
conducted, even with severely
damaged teeth. The hole in the
TopHead is intended to enable further endodontic treatment to be
performed without losing the retention strength of the temporary
prosthesis.
In addition, NTI said that its
non-precious metal alloy cutters
feature a newly developed blade
configuration with perfectly uniform surfaces. With the help of an
optimised cutting geometry that
prevents chipping of the cutting
edges, material can therefore be
removed more efficiently for a
longer service life. Working time
is also reduced with the help of a
negative cutting angle, which also
guarantees a high removal rate. A
gentle working pressure produces
a previously unobtainable surface that makes polishing easier.

Every year since Dentaltown’s
first Townie Choice awards in 2003,
doctors have voted A-dec best in
class across multiple dental equipment categories. Of A-dec’s six category wins this year, all but Best Dental Cabinetry began in 2003.

EFFECTIVE SCALING WITH B.LED
ACTEON is coming to Dubai
with an innovation that allows
dentists to detect and treat dental
plaque simultaneously. According to the French dental group, the
combination of its F.L.A.G. plaque
discloser and the B.LED technology featured in the NEWTRON
SLIM B.LED handpiece provides
amazing results with a simplified
operating protocol.
F.L.A.G. can be applied directly
to teeth or diluted in the tank of the
NEWTRON P5XS ultrasonic generator. The plaque discloser targets
dental plaque and becomes fluorescent under the B. LED light for
scaling that is more accurate, pre-
serving tissue and allowing treatment that is less painful and timeconsuming for the patient, the
company said.

Catering to the growing
demand for an economical
restorative alternative for filling large cavities, everX Posterior from GC is a glass fibre-reinforced composite whose special material structure offers
new possibilities for filling
large cavities. As a reinforcing
material for direct composite
restorations, everX Posterior is
especially suitable for large
cavities in the posterior area,
according to the company. As a
dentine substitute, used in
combination with a conventional composite as an enamel
replacement, such as G-ænial
Posterior, it also allows for the
immediate treatment of major

According to GC, everX Posterior’s glass fibres provide
minimal horizontal shrinkage
and prevent fractures occurring in the final filling. Owing
to the high fracture toughness
of the material, which is almost
twice as high as that of other
composites, restorations show
unprecedented strength. Fillings are also reliable thanks to
its adhesive properties, both on
the overlying composite and
the underlying tooth structure.
GC recommends that everX
Posterior always be covered
with a light-curing universal
composite, such as one from
the G-ænial product family, in
order to achieve aesthetic and
wear resistance.

DOES A BEARD MAKE A GENIUS?
The dental pioneer and founder
of Hoffmann Dental Manufaktur,
Dr Otto Hoffmann, had one, as did
many other great inventors. Was
the beard the secret to their success or merely a fashion at the
time? And are beards finally coming back into fashion?
Hoffmann revolutionised dentistry with his invention of zinc
phosphate-based dental cement
more than a century ago. Chem-
istry was the great passion of this
multitalented man, who spent
three hours a day playing the piano, climbed the Alps, collected
art and was an active member
of the Berlin society for aeronautics. One thing always remained
constant: his meticulously
trimmed moustache.
sic restorative cements. In addition,
visitors will be given the opportunity to don the (fake) beard of Hoffmann itself. Who knows, perhaps it
was not a coincidence after all.
Hoffmann invites participants of
AEEDC Dubai to its booth in Hall 7 to

VATECH PRESENTS
PaX-i3D GREEN, CELEBRATES MILESTONE IN
THE MIDDLE EAST
At the end of 2013, dental technology provider VATECH Global
reported 500 unit sales of its PaX-i
imaging device to customers in the
Middle East. In marking this milestone, the company has announced that it will be promoting
its device and its intra-oral camera
during this year’s AEEDC Dubai.
Recently, VATECH released
PaX-i3D Green, its newest CBCT
imaging system, which provides
high-resolution images with significantly lower radiation exposure. The eco-friendly device,
which was manufactured using renewable energy sources and without the use of hazardous substances, was certified by the US
Food and Drug Administration for
use in paediatrics, VATECH sales
director S.J. Kim said. According to
Kim, the unit has three separate
sensors for digital panoramic,
cephalometric, and 3-D imaging,
as well as horizontal and vertical
collimation to limit the area that
needs to be scanned. He said that
its fully digital CMOS sensor can
capture a scan in 5.9 seconds. Owing to its high-resolution flat-panel
X-ray sensor, PaX-i3D Green can
even capture 3-D images at radiation doses lower than some 2-D imaging systems, he commented.
“With our PaX-i3D Green, we
are leading the trend of digital imaging in the worldwide dental imaging market. We are continuously challenging ourselves in
terms of product development
and customer satisfaction to remain the number one company in
this field,” Kim said.
According to VATECH, the company has revolutionised the dental X-ray market with innovative
technologies, such as Magic Pan, a
reconstruction technology for
high panoramic images, as well as
EzDent-i and Ez3D-i software.
