tion of morning exercise. This fusion
of gentle yoga poses, Tai Chi and Odiatu’s unique series of mind, body and
spirit moves will enliven and refresh
you without breaking a sweat.
From there, why not head over to
“Session 240: Sedation for the Young
Patient — Part 1,” taking place from
11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in room Kalakaua
B of the Hawaii Convention Center?
Christine Quinn, DDS, MS, will be
discussing sedation, anesthesia, neurodegeneration and neuroprotection
— and what this all means for our
young patients.
Sedating a young child is not without risk. This talk will be a discussion
on minimizing those risks, especially
when it comes to protecting the young
child’s developing brain, including
the current research on the effects
of sedative medications and general
anesthesia on the developing brain.
From 1 to 2:30 p.m., you can find the
next part — “Session 270: Sedation for
the Young Patient — Part 2,” this one
led by Sarat Thikkurissy, DDS, MS,
the division director and program
director of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
Diagnosing caries at earlier ages
has led to the discussion/debate as to
optimal management strategies for
caries in the young child. Pharmacologic management, including both
general anesthesia and procedural
sedation, are among this armamentarium. Thikkurissy’s presentation
will look at the physiologic behavioral
and treatment variables that impact
procedural sedation in the young
child. The presentation will examine
the evolution of health conditions
associated with early childhood, as

well as societal factors that drive how
procedural sedation is utilized.
Over in the exhibit hall, there is
also a lot going on, and not just with
the rows of companies offering the
newest and most advanced products.
You can also find a variety of educational presentations if you know
where to look.
Over at the Tech Bar Theater, you
can find such topics as “Using Online
Reviews to Help Build Your Practice”
(John Carroll, 9:15 a.m.), “The Art of
Being Unexpected: How to Manage
Fear, Take Action, and Stay Relevant”
(Judi Holler, 11 a.m.), “Using Social
Media as a Dental Professional” (11:45
a.m.) and “Apps to Improve Your

NuSmile welcomes three
new products to the family
By NuSmile Staff
n As a family-owned-and-run company, NuSmile is family-oriented in
numerous ways. In that spirit, the
company is expanding its family of
products with the launch of NuSmile
ZR Zirconia Narrow 2nd Primary
Molars, NuSmile SSC Cuspids and
a new medium shade of NuSmile
BioCem® Cement.
NuSmile ZR Narrow 2nd Primary
Molars
Carious primary teeth often create
space loss due to mesial drift. This
loss of space can make it necessary to
use narrow zirconia crowns — especially when placing crowns back-toback — since zirconia crowns can’t
be crimped the way stainless-steel
crowns can.
David Evans, DMD, PC, of Pediatric
Dental OKC in Oklahoma City, says,
“Like all NuSmile crowns, these new
ZR Narrow 2nd Primary Molars do
a wonderful job of maintaining the
proper anatomy and mimicking the
natural dentition.”
According to David Salar, DMD, of
West Boca Dentistry for Children in
Boca Raton, Fla.: “Since NuSmile ZR
crowns are designed based on digital
and CBCT scans of actual primary
teeth, they’re more anatomically
accurate than other brands of pediatric zirconia crowns. I’ve used other
brands in the past but find NuSmile
ZR to be unsurpassed in esthetics,
ease of fit and blending in with the
surrounding natural teeth.”
He also likes the fact that they
require much less tooth reduction
for both the restored teeth and the
adjacent teeth.
As he explains, “While ‘first generation’ zirconia crowns are milled and
have margins of approximately 0.6
mm, NuSmile ZR’s injection molded
zirconia crowns have 0.2 mm margins, which greatly reduce the need
for tooth reduction.”
LaRee Johnson, DDS, of Carolina
Pediatric Dentistry in Raleigh, N.C.,
points out that less tooth reduction
means less chair time, which is a
significant advantage with pediatric
patients. She adds that NuSmile ZR
Narrow 2nd Primary Molar crowns
— like all NuSmile ZR crowns — save
time in another way. “Once you identify the perfectly fitting NuSmile
Try-in crown, you can immediately

cement and place the matching
NuSmile ZR crown.”
In contrast, because other brands
of pediatric zirconia crowns don’t
offer Try-In crowns, once the right
size crown is identified, it has to be
cleaned in a time-consuming attempt
to remove any blood and saliva debris
that may compromise cementation.
Dr. Johnson adds, “The thinner margins and lighter contacts of NuSmile
ZR crowns also make it easier to floss
and keep the teeth clean.”
NuSmile SSC Cuspids
According to Eric Ellis, DMD, of 7th
and Bell Dental Group and Orthodontics in Phoenix, Ariz.: “I prefer
NuSmile SSC crowns for their superior fit and function. In particular,
these new canine crowns are more
constricted at the cervical margin,
which facilitates adaptation with
much less crimping. This is especially
important with cuspid crowns, as
they tend to require more crimping
and trimming than other crowns.”
Dr. Evans adds, “NuSmile’s canine
SSCs are shorter insiso-gingivally,
Here in Honolulu
crown kits, which means they save
‘floor time’ as well as chair time!”
To learn more about the NuSmile ZR
Narrow 2nd Primary Molars, SSC Cuspids and the medium shade of BioCem,
stop by the NuSmile booth, No. 504.
NuSmile BioCem Universal
BioActive Cement — medium
shade
which generally eliminates the need
for trimming.”
According to NuSmile, the reduced
need for trimming and crimping
can significantly reduce chair time,
which is something every pediatric
dentist appreciates. In addition, as
with all NuSmile SSC crowns, the new
cuspid SSCs will not wear through,
and their laser-etched markings can
go through heat sterilization more
than 75 times without fading.
Dr. Ellis also appreciates the fact
that NuSmile crown cases snap shut
and won’t open if dropped. “All pediatric dentists and their staffs know the
pain of dropping a tray of crowns, having them scatter all over the floor and
then having to tediously replace each
one in the right compartment. That
isn’t a problem with any of NuSmile’s
NuSmile BioCem, the only radiopaque,
dual-cure luting cement designed
specifically for pediatric dentistry,
is now available in a darker medium
shade. BioCem’s combination of bond
strength, ease of handling, value and
resistance to shrinkage and washout
is now enhanced with the ability to
also provide color adjustments to any
shade or brand of zirconia crowns,
according to the company.
According to Dr. Salar, “With
BioCem’s new medium shade and
original extra light shade, I can match
the natural dentition of almost all
of my patients.” This color-shifting
ability can be particularly helpful for
single-tooth restorations.
NuSmile encourages you to add
NuSmile ZR Narrow 2nd Primary
Molars, SSC Cuspids and the medium
shade of BioCem to your armamentarium.

How to minimize dental anxiety by
incentivizing your pediatric patients
By SmileMakers Staff
n There’s been a massive amount
of research into dental anxiety, with
good reason: Dental anxiety keeps
thousands of people from visiting
the dentist every year. Children are
especially susceptible to this anxiety,
particularly if they have never been
to a dentist before or they are unsure
about what to expect.
Incentivizing visits will help them
positively anticipate each trip, particularly if they are facing multiple
visits for successive treatments. Here
are a few ideas to help you create a
program that fits your practice.
Help patients grade oral health
A daily oral health quiz helps keep
young patients on track for oral
care success. It can be as simple as a
checklist with questions like: Have

your patients? Visit SmileMakers at

incentives and practice supplies.
you brushed your teeth today? Did
you brush twice today? Did you floss
today? Have them bring their list
in each visit for a special reward. A
brushing chart works well for this
and can be customized with your
practice name and information so
they’ll remember your positive reinforcement daily.
Challenge patients to succeed
There’s nothing a child will remember
more than a challenge. The idea is to
turn his or her oral health into a game.
One tried-and-true method is the 2-2-2
challenge. At its essence, all you’re
doing is asking children to see their
dentist twice a year and brush twice
a day for two minutes each time. Turn
it into a challenge by giving them a
practice-themed notepad and pencil to
record their progress. That will entice
them into forming good habits from
an early age and keep you top of mind.
Offer tiers of prizes
For every cavity-free visit or step in
the treatment plan, allow the patient
to choose a higher tier of prizes. It
gives kids something to look forward
to and a reason to behave well and
take care of their teeth. At their first
visit, they might not have been able
to get the plush animal, but you can
explain they’ll be able to earn it with
good behavior and habits over time.
You don’t need to break the bank
for this, and the reward tiers don’t
have to grow excessively. The difference between a bracelet and a heart
necklace might be all the incentive
they need.
Add to their collection
Limited edition collectibles are an
age-old trick used to help people see
an increased value in certain items.
It works really well with children
because they usually want the exclusive toys or stickers. The value grows
if you have the full set, too.
By using “exclusive” prizes like
keychains that come in different
designs or stickers that can only be
collected at subsequent visits, it gives
a positive incentive to children who
may need a lot of dental work. Rather
than seeing their dental visits as a
chore, they have a chance to complete
their collection.

Anutra Medical introduces 1 percent
lidocaine as a new product offering
By Anutra Medical Staff
n Medical device company Anutra
Medical is now adding 1 percent
lidocaine with epinephrine 1:100,000
to its product offerings, making this
particular concentration of lidocaine
more accessible to the dental market
than ever before.
A published study that appeared
in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in October 2017 showed
that buffered 1 percent lidocaine
with epinephrine can be equally as
effective as 2 percent lidocaine with
epinephrine for a maxillary field
block. This independent study by the
University of North Carolina, Chapel
Hill, found that buffering 1 percent
lidocaine with epinephrine 1:100,000
with the Anutra Local Anesthetic
Delivery System® “reduces the pain

block and results in similar lengths
of pulpal anesthesia tested with a
cold stimulus” as compared to the
traditionally used 2 percent lidocaine
with epinephrine 1:100,000.
As a result of the study showing
the benefits of the lower concentration of lidocaine, Anutra Medical is
now adding 1 percent lidocaine with
epinephrine, 1:100,000 as one of its
regular product offerings.
In other studies conducted in April
2017, utilizing the Anutra Local Anesthetic Delivery System, the School of
Dentistry at the University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill, found, “Mean
blood level differences of lidocaine
for each patient were significantly
lower after nerve block with the
buffered drug compared with the
nonbuffered agent.”
Anutra Medical is excited to introduce 1 percent lidocaine 1:100,000
into the dental market in a more
accessible format than it has been.
The option of this new concentration
of lidocaine to dental practitioners
further shows Anutra’s dedication
to increasing patient experiences
while transforming practitioner’s
efficiency, according to the company.
Anutra is currently accepting
orders for the new product offering.
