“Laser in dental aesthetic: Innovation in clinical use based upon
scientific evidence. Clinical cases”

Prof. Aldo Brugnera Jr, Brazil

6 February, 15:30–17:15
Where?
WFLD 2020 Dubai Congress, Hall D

The objective of this lecture is to
demonstrate innovative uses of lasers in aesthetic dentistry. Prof. Aldo
Brugnera will present the new tips of
the third-generation Er:YAG laser, which
have the capacity to remove caries
with the minimally invasive modes for
dentine and enamel, and can be used
for veneer debonding, soft-tissue plastic surgery and the treatment of periimplantitis, as well as for a new technique to close black triangles with laser
therapy.

This presentation will report a
non-surgical treatment option for
the recovery of the interdental papilla
using an innovative technique called
haemo-laser therapy (HLT) that stimulates papillary growth to permanently fill
black triangles.1 Loss of gingival tissue,
besides affecting the aesthetics of the
smile, provokes phonetic and functional
damage. Interproximal tissue reconstruction using surgical procedures has
been reported in the literature in the
form of subepithelial connective tissue

AEEDC Dubai 2020 · 5 & 6 February 2020

An in vitro preliminary study
was carried out to demonstrate what
occurs at the cellular level in HLT
clinical cases associated with photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) using
a 660 nm diode laser. This study
demonstrated that the blood clot
originating from the bleeding provoked in the gingival area is rich in
mesenchymal stem cells. PBMT enables preservation, viability and further
differentiation, stimulating the return
of gingival stem cells, which would
support their survival and differentiation in the blood clot, thus favouring
interdental papilla regeneration. The
presenter will show similar clinical results with the Er:YAG for HLT using a
special tip in gentle mode for treatment
to close black triangles. In conclusion,
this new clinical application for lasers in
dentistry has shown excellent results.

ABOUT THE LECTURER
Prof. Aldo Brugnera is considered
a key opinion leader in the field of laser

ards. […] As always, we have endeavoured to cover the mainstream trending topics of the year 2020 in all the
related facets of dental oral care,
from surgery to restorative to dental
hygiene and dental assistance and
we certainly hope to keep all participants busy with ten conference halls
allocated for the transfer of worldclass dental education. Moreover, the
conference features the presence of
167 speakers who offer their insights
on the most crucial topics in dentistry and also includes 173 scientific
sessions, 18 hands-on workshop
courses and 210 poster presentations
focusing on the latest advances in
dentistry.”
This year’s edition will host another session of AEEDC Dubai Stars.
This feature, which was launched
in 2019, includes a number of panel
discussions in which key figures,

dentistry. As the author of five books, a
contributing author to various chapters in
other publications and the author of over
150 scientific papers on the topic, as well
as a senior editor of Photobiomodulation,
Photomedicine, and Laser Surgery, he
has established himself in the community and has delivered over 200 lectures
all over the world. He is the president of
the South American Division of the World
Federation for Laser Dentistry.

FURTHER READING
Morford et al. designed a study to
systematically investigate the efficacy of
an Er:YAG laser for veneer debonding,
possibly without damage to the underlying tooth and preservation of the veneer integrity.2 While the veneer materials did not show any characteristic
water absorption bands in the Fouriertransform infrared, the bonding cement
showed a broad H2O/OH absorption
band. The veneers transmitted between
11.5 per cent and 43.7 per cent of the
incident Er:YAG energy; IPS e.max Press
HT transmitted twice the energy that
IPS Empress Esthetic did at comparable
thicknesses.

celebrities and influencers from
the dental industry will participate
and share their views and stories.
Another highlight of the varied
programme is the AEEDC Student
Competition, during which students
in their last academic years will
engage with their peers from other
dental schools in a face-to-face competition. The main goal is to interact,
exchange knowledge and expand
horizons on various topics in dentistry. Competing students will be
challenged in a dental quiz on a
range of subjects, including infection
control, implantology and oral surgery.

According to Shibli, 2018, sterilisation and cleaning/decontamination of
dental implant surfaces utilising highand low-intensity laser therapy with the
Er:YAG laser have also been performed.3
Laser irradiation not only removes the
inflammatory soft tissue present around
the peri-implant pocket, but also detoxifies the implant surface without damaging or altering the titanium surface
or dental implant morphology, allowing
a better stabilisation of the blood clot
with or without the addition of bone
grafting materials during guided bone
regeneration.

Arabic, English, Russian and Chinese,”
said Dr Marwan Al Mulla, CEO of
the Health Regulation Sector. With
2012 DCCI data showing Dubai had
107,000 medical tourists, the dramatic increase over the past several
years is due in part to the modernisation of medical facilities. However,
according to the survey, the DHA’s
DXH, which is the first medical tourism portal in the region, enabling
tourists to book their entire medical
holiday online, was also a contributing factor.

Study finds Saudi Arabians prefer lingual brackets and clear aligners
Adults to evaluated images of different orthodontic appliances in order of aesthetics.
 Adult consumers prefer lingual
brackets and clear aligners over traditional fixed appliances, according
to a cross-sectional survey conducted
by researchers at King Abdulaziz
University in Jeddah. The study of
the perceptions of adult laypersons in
Saudi Arabia found that consumers

were willing to pay more for these
more aesthetically pleasing treatments when it came to their own
orthodontic care but not for the
orthodontic care of their children.
In the survey, 199 Saudi adults
(55 per cent of whom were female)

were asked to evaluate images of
adults wearing a variety of orthodontic appliances. Participants
were shown images of different
appliances and asked to rate them
on attractiveness, acceptability
of having them placed on both
themselves and their children,

value.

brackets, self-ligating ceramic
brackets, shaped brackets, and clear
aligner trays. Lingual brackets were
shown by pictures of subjects who
had no visible appliances, together
with an inside view of the mouth.
Participants in the study rated
clear aligners and lingual brackets
as the most attractive of the treatment options. Coloured o-tied brackets and shaped brackets were rated
as the least attractive.
A clear majority (86.9 per cent)
said that clear aligners were the
most acceptable of the pictured appliances for placing on themselves,
and that clear aligners were also the
preferred treatment option for the
participants’ children (84.9 per cent).
The least acceptable for placement
were shaped brackets: only 24.1 per
cent of participants rated these as
the most acceptable option to have
placed for their own treatment, and
only 36.2 per cent rated them as
the most acceptable option to have
placed on their children.

The least acceptable of the appliances were coloured o-tied brackets, at 4 per cent. When it came to
cost, which the authors identified as
a factor in participants’ responses,
the majority said they were willing
to pay more for orthodontic treatment using the aesthetically preferred clear aligners and lingual
brackets, but that they were not
willing to pay more to have these
appliances placed on their children.
In discussing the findings, the
authors wrote: “Our findings showed
that our participants were willing
to pay more to have aesthetically
pleasing, least visible appliances
placed for them rather than the
standard metal braces.” They speculated that this willingness to pay
could indicate the participants’ perception of the impact of orthodontic
appliances on aesthetic appearance
and possibly how they are perceived
in social situations.

They added that participants’
unwillingness to pay more for what
they had identified as the more aesthetically pleasing treatment option
for their children was perhaps
due to a perceived lower level of
judgement being placed on children
by themselves and their peers.
“[The results] may mean that parents perceive that it is not necessary for their children to have the
most aesthetically pleasing appliance. Parents may feel that their
children will not suffer from negative self-perception or judgement in
social situations as it is perhaps
more common to see children wearing visible braces than adults,” the
authors wrote.

appliances”, was published online

The success of World Oral Health Day in Lebanon
An interview with IADS Prophylaxis Officer Julien Issa. By FDI World Dental Federation.
Using the FDI-provided materials for
World Oral Health Day really helped
us to stand out and have amazing
social media posts to compete with
other associations for the World Oral
Health Day Awards.

For the 2019 campaign, I recreated Toothie! I made Toothie to get
kids excited about their oral health.
Although in 2019, we didn’t only focus
on kids: we also focused on pregnant
women. We ran a workshop, teaching

If you say “World Oral Health Day” to my
colleagues at university, they say “Julien”.
It is so valuable for us to have an
on-the-ground perspective of World
Oral Health Day. How did you engage
with your local community? How did
you organise yourselves?
The second time that LADS participated in World Oral Health Day
activities was in 2018. A small group
of us made a big effort to attract


them about how to take extra care of
their oral health during pregnancy.
We also did specific outreach activities for elderly people and people
with special needs. And we tried to
cover all of Lebanon as much as
possible, from the south to the east.
We visited schools, community centres
and even a refugee camp.

brushing and flossing; we also focused
on the importance of maintaining overall health, for example through regular exercise and eating healthy food.
The 2020 campaign centres on a
worldwide pledge campaign to
“Unite for Mouth Health”. What do
you think dental students should
pledge in 2020?
I will tell you what I think as a
dental student and as a prophylaxis
geek! As the IADS prophylaxis officer, I pledge to spread awareness
about oral health as much as I can.
Why is World Oral Health Day important to you?
World Oral Health Day should
not only be important to me; it should
be important to all dental students.
As dental students, we cannot practise dentistry outside of our university
clinics, so we need to find other ways

To inspire his patients to look after their oral health is one of Issa’s main motivations.

 Julien Issa is a Lebanese dental student and the newly elected prophylaxis officer of the International Association of Dental Students (IADS).
Wanting to harmonise his passion for
science and art, Issa decided to embark on a career in dentistry. Through
his studies and formative experiences at university, Issa has developed a steadfast commitment to preventive oral healthcare. He has also
become the go-to World Oral Health
Day enthusiast in his community.
FDI sat down with Issa to learn
about his role in the success of the
Lebanese Association of Dental Students’ World Oral Health Day celebrations over the past two years. From
dressing up as FDI’s oral health mascot, Toothie (yes, really!), and distributing toothbrushes far and wide,
Issa shares his experiences and reflects on his goals for the 2020 “Unite
for Mouth Health” campaign.
Mr Issa, could you please tell us a
little bit about your background and
how you became involved in IADS?

Before becoming the IADS prophylaxis officer, I was an active member
of my local association, the Lebanese
Association of Dental Students (LADS).
I was a member for several years and
prophylaxis was my main interest.
World Oral Health Day activities
were my number one priority (and
still are today!). So, I built upon my
enthusiasm for prophylaxis as a
member, and then I was elected the
national prophylaxis officer. In that
role, I worked mainly on the LADSorganised 2018 World Oral Health Day
campaign. This year, I was elected the
prophylaxis officer of IADS.
LADS won the World Oral Health Day
Award for Best Social Media Campaign in 2018. What was your role in
this achievement?
I was responsible for social media
during the 2018 campaign. In 2018,
I was one of the co-leaders organising
World Oral Health Day for LADS.
I was also the LADS social media
officer, so I worked together with
the LADS prophylaxis officer at that
time to make everything perfect.

volunteers from our local association
to participate, which, as you know,
is difficult, as we have a lot of exams
and things to do as dental students.
It was a challenge for us, but we
made it.

How did you choose the places where
you targeted your activities?
The first thing we did was to read
the member toolkit on the World Oral
Health Day website. There were some
points in the toolkit that really inspired us. For example, FDI suggested
collaborating with other health professionals, so we reached out to a
local medical association that was
organising their own event. We asked

to spread awareness about oral
health. World Oral Health Day is a
great way to do this. I believe that
prevention is better than treatment.
Let’s prevent before we treat caries
or any other oral health problem.
What are your goals as this year’s
IADS prophylaxis officer?
I will do my best to motivate
other student dental associations to

As a dental student, I pledge to motivate
my patients, my colleagues and everyone
I meet to take care of their oral health.
them if we could contribute an oral
health element, and they agreed!

Toothie is the FDI’s mascot for World Oral Health Day and an important part of the campaign.

Health Day posters in Arabic so that
people could have instructions at

daily. And we didn’t focus only on

 Augmentation of an insufficient
bone volume is indicated before or in
conjunction with implant placement
to gain long-term functioning and an
aesthetic outcome. Autogenous bone
block grafting is the accepted standard of care. These tissue transplants,
however, have limited availability
and require an additional procedure,

posing the risk of morbidities. A variety of bone substitute materials, such
as allogeneic or xenogeneic materials, are available for ridge augmentation, but the risk of disease transmission needs to be considered. In
modern implant dentistry or maxillofacial surgery, priority should be
given to those interventions that are

The ideal bone substitutes should
have biocompatibility, excellent osteoconductive properties and appropriate strength, and they should be able
to form a suitable shape easily and
to replace the bone completely within
a short period. Calcium phosphatebased materials have been considered for use as bone graft substitutes
in the treatment of bone defects for
over 30 years, in orthopaedic, dental
and maxillofacial surgery. In the last

several years, the application of digital technology in dentistry has become widespread, and considerable
progress has been made in the development of CAD/CAM techniques.
More recently, attempts have been made
to fabricate custom-made scaffolds,
allowing bone grafts to be tailored
for specific applications or even for
individual patients, using computerassisted methods.
The same concepts are applied to
produce dental or maxillofacial implants by direct laser metal forming,
an additive manufacturing procedure. It is a time-saving procedure
in which a high-power laser beam
is directed on to a metal powder
bed and fuses particles according to
a programme in a CAD file. Apposition
of subsequent layers gives shape to a
3D form that requires minimal postprocessing. It is now possible to fabricate
dental, maxillofacial and orthopaedic
implants directly from CAD models.
The presentation describes new
protocols for the manufacture of
custom-made calcium phosphate or
titanium scaffolds using 3D printing

moving along the surface of the implant and creating thousands of regularly distributed micrometric pores

1, 2, 3—DONE! SCHÜTZ DENTAL OFFERS COMPLETE DIGITAL WORKFLOW

Tizian Blanks—
with certified quality for
excellent reliability
The range of CAD/CAM blanks
comprises over 15 different materials,
including tooth-coloured PMMA blocks,
pre-coloured zirconium dioxide, cobalt–
chromium, titanium and highly translucent zirconium dioxide. All Tizian
CAD/CAM blanks, pritidenta blanks
and blanks for various splint concepts
(Clearsplint, polycarbonate) are subject to strict and ISO-certified quality
controls, offering dentists and dental
technicians a high level of reliability
with regard to milling results.

Tizian—
CAD/CAM system with great
potential for success



Left: Tizian Smart-Scan Plus: an intelligent system for precise results—also ideal for large bridges and implant work. Right: Tactile Renishaw DS10 scanner: tactile scanning for an outstanding fit.

 Digitalisation is complex and varied,
and the road to becoming a digital
company is long—but essential—for
a future in dental technology. Both
commercial and practice laboratories must determine their own strategy and decide which digital components they are going to use. The
most important prerequisite is an
open CAD/CAM system that can
process incoming data and integrate
data records from complementary
diagnostic procedures. Schütz Dental
supports customers on their chosen
path and helps them shape their digital world in line with their requirements. As a customer- and solution-

oriented system provider, Schütz
Dental offers the complete digital
workflow with all system components. This is presented in three
steps below and is being showcased
at AEEDC 2020.

Precision
when it truly matters
When using a tactile scanner,
individual stumps are scanned by
the tactile system and merged into
a single digital unit by the CAD software. The result is a fast scan with
impressive precision. Users benefit
from telescopic restorations with
the perfect fit, outstanding precision,

and reliable, reproducible results—
everything you need to offer optimum patient care.

High-end design
in real time
To construct the restoration in
the CAD software (Tizian Creativ RT),
the dental technician imports not
only the digitised impression data
but also the data from the IMPLA 3D
implant navigation, DICOM data,
tactile scan data and zebris measuring data. The dentist uses the zebris
jaw measuring system to analyse
the patient’s jaw movements and
jaw relation. The Real Movement
software upgrade furthermore makes
it possible to record actual jaw movements as well as the true position
of the maxilla in both analogue and
digital format through the use of
a digital facebow and the appropriate transfer table. This procedure is
based on the patented coupling tray,
which is used to transfer real-life
data to the digital world—in a process-optimised manner. After all,
dental technicians can easily work
without a model by simply using the
Tizian Creativ RT CAD software to
match the data. The future-oriented
CAD software offers users a great
deal of creativity, with the aim of
producing a high-end design. The
ability to work quickly is ensured
by the automatic selection of the essential parameters for a restoration.
However, dental technicians still
have the option of using virtual tools
to customise automatically generated restorations. Once the individual patient data has been imported
into the Tizian CAM software, the
restoration is milled in the desired
CAD/CAM material.

been tripled to offer even greater
precision for dental restorations.
The machine’s revolutionary milling
technology enables it to mill all key
dental materials, including zirconium dioxide, cobalt–chromium and
high-performance acrylics like PEEK.

A larger, more sensitive user tablet
enables enhanced machine control.
Attention has also been paid to the
cleanliness of the machine, which offers significant time-savings thanks
to a new extraction concept and
water cooling system. The machine
is ideal for dental technicians who
are CAD/CAM enthusiasts and have
high standards with regard to milling precision.

The digital path chosen by dentists and dental technicians is decisive. The range of individual Tizian
components makes it possible to
identify, replace and gradually add
to individual subprocesses from analogue dental practices. Schütz Dental
supports laboratories as they migrate to dental technology 4.0 and
helps them find digital solutions
to meet their specific requirements.
In summary, the innovative Tizian
system fulfils the wishes of digitally
oriented dentists and dental technicians. It is an open CAD/CAM system
that can easily be expanded and

offers a high level of reliability in
relation to CAD/CAM-based restorations—for teeth with a future that
make patients smile. 

 Composi-Tight 3D Fusion from
Garrison Dental Solutions has been
honoured with the 2019 top product
award for sectional matrices from
DENTAL ADVISOR. Designed to reduce procedure time and improve

PRIMESCAN USERS EXPERIENCE DIGITAL IMPRESSIONS IN A COMPLETELY NEW WAY—ONE YEAR, 100 COUNTRIES
 It is standard practice to review
feedback after a product has first
been launched: Primescan, Dentsply
Sirona’s new intra-oral scanner,
was introduced about a year ago.
It provides dentists in more than
100 countries with a completely new
experience of taking digital impressions. The feedback after the first
months in practice shows that
Primescan was able to meet and
even exceed the high expectations
of demanding users.
With Primescan, Dentsply Sirona
presented the latest generation of
intra-oral scanners at the beginning of
February 2019 in Frankfurt am Main in
Germany. It enables users to take a digital impression with very high accuracy. This has been substantiated by
a study at the University of Zurich
in Switzerland. Since the launch of
this new intra-oral scanner, users
in more than 100 countries have
been using Primescan in their
practices and reporting on their
experiences.
For dentist Dr Carlos Repullo
from Seville in Spain, the perfect
end result for the patient has top
priority. For several years now, he
has relied on the support of digital
procedures such as CAD/CAM.
From his point of view, the technology of intra-oral scanners has developed enormously—this is especially
true for Primescan. “The accuracy
of the scan is remarkable. This also
applies to the whole jaw scan, which
can be taken in a very short time.
This is exactly the quality that we
need in practices. The handling
must be simple, fast and safe, the
function must be stable. The new
intra-oral scanner offers all this.
Primescan does have a small ‘disadvantage’: if the restoration does

not fit now, I can no longer blame
the technology.”

Primescan meets
high-quality standards
For quite some time, Dr Mike
Skramstad, a dentist from Orono,
Minnesota, in the US, has been observing the development of intraoral scanners in the dental market.
For a long time, no system was able
to fully meet his high requirements
in terms of accuracy, user-friendliness, speed, integration capability
and possible applications. He took
a close look at Primescan in his practice, and a year after the new intraoral scanner’s launch, he is now
more than satisfied. He said: “With
the introduction of Dentsply Sirona’s

Primescan, things have changed considerably. Scanning is very easy and
more accurate than with the CEREC
Omnicam. What impresses me most
about Primescan is the outstanding
software performance, which has
been further enhanced by artificial
intelligence. I’m excited about the
many dental applications that allow
me to work with Primescan.”
Dr Verena Freier, a dentist
from Bad Soden in Germany, sees
an improvement in the accuracy
of Primescan, especially for whole
jaw scans. “With the new intra-oral
scanner Primescan, which also
works with CEREC, I am bringing
the treatment of my patients to
a very high level. If the results were

really good before, for me they are
now even better. And everything
is easy and relaxed—I don’t really
want to put the scanner out of my
hand anymore. I particularly like
the operation via a touch surface.
Since patient satisfaction is very
important to me, I am especially
pleased that patients ask specifically for this impression method
and talk about it once they have
experienced it themselves.”

Primescan improves
workflow with
dental laboratories
In addition to accurate and fast
digital impression taking, another
advantage of Primescan is that it is
designed for different digital work-

flows—in practice with CEREC as
well as in collaboration with the
dental laboratory or other partners.
Using the new Connect software, a
digital 3D model can be transferred
directly to the laboratory of choice
for further processing. Frankie
Acosta, a dental technician from
Murrieta, California, in the US, is
particularly pleased with the optimised processes and the high quality
of the impression. He stated: “As
a dental laboratory that has been
working with digital impressions for
around ten years, we are delighted
that it is now even easier for dentists
to take impressions with an intraoral scanner. The accuracy with
which Primescan works convinces
us in our daily work. This also
enables us to deliver work at a high
level. The automatic download from
the Inbox of the Connect Case Center
is a real time saver.”
“With Primescan, we are providing our customers with a technology
that decisively improves digital
impression taking in many points,”
said Dr Alexander Völcker, Group
Vice President of CAD/CAM and
orthodontics at Dentsply Sirona.
“With a completely new technology,
the high-frequency contrast analysis,
Primescan enables our customers to
achieve very high accuracy in every
digital impression. This offers possibilities for using it in many indications. The positive feedback from
users all over the world encourages
us to drive the development in this
area.” 

BLANCONE CLICK: THE NEW TOOTH WHITENING OPPORTUNITY
 Tooth whitening is in huge demand, supporting an industry worth
billions. People’s desire for a whiter
smile is pushing hundreds of palliative products on to the market. Most
of them only provide some surface
stain removal—often damaging teeth
and gingivae with aggressive abrasives—or an illusionary white effect
by dehydrating the enamel or masking yellowish teeth with optical
effects.
While only hydrogen
peroxide-based treatments
are capable of delivering true
bleaching of intrinsic stains,
dental professionals have not
yet managed to break into this
market, and—even in leading
markets such as the US—they
are getting a very small slice of
the huge tooth whitening business pie. Why? Two words: uncomfortable and expensive. A very
long time in office seats, weeks of
home tray use, sensitivity during
and after the treatment, limiting diets, and high costs have kept most
potential consumers from approaching the dental office for a whiter
smile.
Council Directive 2011/84/EU
represents the most protective consumer regulation on dental bleaching, limiting hydrogen peroxide
concentrations, making this type

of product available only through
dental professionals and requiring a
preliminary visit. In line with this
legislation, BlancOne proposes, for
the first time, an effective line of
in-office tooth whitening treatments
that combine the safety of low percentages of hydrogen peroxide, the
immediacy of the result, the absence
of side effects and the affordable
prices sought by patients.

Are
you looking for
a way to attract new
patients to your practice? Do
you want to retain them and create
a recursive mechanism that brings
them back to your practice regularly?
Do you want to meet the expectations of your patients who strive for
whiter teeth and a more beautiful
smile after the dental hygiene session? Would you like to make the

hygiene session more profitable within just ten more minutes? If you answered yes to any of these questions,
BlancOne CLICK might be the right
post-hygiene session tooth whitening
treatment for you and your needs.
BlancOne’s innovative photochemical technology splits low concentration peroxide (16 % carbamide
peroxide) into highly reactive and
effective atomic oxygen in just ten
minutes, without the need to
apply gingival protection and
without resulting in any sensitivity. As it provides a typical
shade improvement of three to
five shades, your patients will
immediately discover a whiter
and brighter smile right after
any session, without having to
book another appointment.
It is very easy to offer
BlancOne CLICK—for a very small
additional charge—after dental
hygiene sessions, delivering great
added value and providing an easy
step into a tooth whitening experience for all patients. BlancOne
CLICK can be repeated regularly and
will improve patient compliance
with scheduled visits to the office.
Furthermore, it is perfect as a marketing tool to attract new patients
with promotions. BlancOne CLICK is
the “missing link” tooth whitening
treatment, the perfect entry level to

home custom tray systems or inoffice power bleaching. Indeed, once
the patient discovers a new brighter
smile in a CLICK, it is very easy to
upsell or cross-sell more intensive
and expensive treatments to further
improve the result in terms of shades
and duration.
Fit CLICK into your existing systems or embrace the full BlancOne
range, including:
BlancOne TOUCH, the intensive
version of CLICK, which is applied
in three or four applications of
eight minutes and performed in
one session for more effective and
longer-lasting results;

BlancOne ULTRA with 29 % hydrogen peroxide to deal with the most
difficult cases;
BlancOne HOME three-in-one
home tray whitening gels with hydroxyapatite and hyaluronic acid;

whitening pen; and

“For patients, Perio Plus+’s taste definitely makes the difference”
An interview with Dr Milan Stojanovic, Switzerland.
molar extraction. In our experience,
Perio Plus+ Forte was extremely
effective after surgical procedures,
and we observed no side effects or
postsurgical wound infection at all.
In general, the wound healing
was perfect for all patients, and the
team felt that all surgical wounds
had healed very well and nicely without complications—I would even say
better than with purely chlorhexidinebased products.



Dr Milan Stojanovic with his wife Alma. Dr Stojanovic was one of the first dental professionals to
treat patients with CURAPROX Perio Plus+. (Image: © Milan Stojanovic)

 Dr Milan Stojanovic studied dentistry at the University of Bern in
Switzerland, and has run a typical
family dental practice in the Swiss
town of Niederbipp since 1996. In the
last decade, he has also been lecturing future dental assistants, teaching
orthodontics and aesthetic dentistry
master’s classes, and educating practitioners worldwide on aligner systems. In this interview, he shares his
experiences of treating patients with

the new CURAPROX Perio Plus+ antiseptic range.
Dr Stojanovic, which Perio Plus+ samples did you use in the recent trial?
We were lucky to be able to use
the samples for 15 long-time patients.
We prescribed Perio Plus+ Protect
and Focus to three patients with fixed
prosthetic restorations, and Perio
Plus+ Forte after surgical procedures
such as implant placement and third

AEEDC Dubai 2020 · 5 & 6 February 2020

Do you have a specific protocol for
mouthwash treatment?
We had a certain treatment protocol with our previous product,
depending on the case and patient.
This protocol can be even better
achieved with Perio Plus+. Briefly,
we prescribe Perio Plus+ Balance to
patients without complications after surgery, as a
daily supplement to oral
hygiene. Patients with
resurgent periodontitis
are prescribed daily
use of Perio Plus+ Protect with Perio Plus+
Support toothpaste
for the inflamed areas.
Patients with periodontitis are given
Perio Plus+ Forte in
combination with

Perio Plus+ Support, with strict recall
intervals of course. After surgical
procedures, I give patients Perio
Plus+ Forte for two to three weeks,
then change to Perio Plus+ Protect,
and if the patient shows optimal
oral hygiene, I switch to Perio Plus+
Balance. With implants, I additionally prescribe Perio Plus+ Support.
Lastly, I prescribe Perio Plus+ Protect
when complementary oral hygiene is
needed during orthodontic treatment
with fixed appliances.
How does Perio Plus+ differ from
other chlorhexidine mouthwashes?
For patients, Perio Plus+’s taste
definitely makes the difference.
I have
also
tasted

Perio Plus+ personally and find it very
pleasant, and without major side effects such as burning or taste changes.
In the long term, Curaden’s intention is to move towards a situation
where dental professionals switch
to a lower dosage of chlorhexidine
more quickly and complement it
with CITROX.
Yes, I welcome an approach that
allows switching to lower doses of
chlorhexidine more quickly. Higher
doses of chlorhexidine frequently
lead to side effects such as discoloration and taste changes, or patients
breaking off the therapy. The addition of natural antiseptics is advantageous, and in my opinion, it definitely promotes wound healing. Also,
brushing at the beginning of wound
healing is limited, so adding
CITROX can definitely reduce the pathogenic microbial film on the wound.

Made of semolina dough soaked
in a sugar-based syrup, kanafeh is
typically layered with cheese. This
sweet and savoury combination,
together with its crunchiness, gives
it a unique taste, which is why the
pastry has become a favourite
among locals in the UAE. It is best
served hot right out of the pan with
the cheese still stringy. Many variations of kanafeh exist, depending
on the region, and the same applies
to the spelling of the name of the
dessert. 
