Expert education

back in person for the CDA Presents
The Art and Science of Dentistry is
the bringing together of the collective
experience and expertise of industry
leaders and CDA’s dedicated team of
dental experts.
Many of these experts are giving
presentations during the next couple
days, and you can find them speaking
on such subjects as practice management, dental benefit plans, regulatory
compliance and employment practices.
Here is a look at some of the presentations.

Who, What, When and How,” by Katie
Fornelli, 10–11 a.m. Friday, in The

Keep your chin up
and neck straight
with Infinity VUE
By Designs for Vision Staff
n Designs for Vision has several new
and innovative products, including
the Infinity VUE, Panoramic Field and
REVEAL.
Designed to provide a straightforward approach to ergonomics, Infinity VUE loupes are available from
Designs for Vision in 3.0x and 3.5x
magnification.
Infinity VUE (Vision Up Ergonomics) keeps your chin up, your neck
straight and your eyes forward while
viewing the magnified oral cavity.
You need to try these loupes on to
see (and feel) the difference in your
posture.
The new patented Panoramic Field
AD

Infinity VUE

Here in Anaheim
You can see the Visible Difference
yourself by visiting Designs for Vision
at booth Nos. 1202 and 1216, or contact
the company to arrange a visit in your
office by calling (800) 345-4009 or
emailing info@dvimail.com.

Loupes (US pat. 8928975B2) represent
the most significant advancement in
telescope design in more than 100
years, according to the company. The
viewable areas are twice as large as
prismatic expanded field designed
loupes and up to five times greater
than Galilean loupes. Panoramic
Field loupes provide unprecedented

field of view, clarity, definition and
color.
Designs for Vision is also offering REVEAL (US pat. 10215977B1),
which provides hands-free and
fluorescence-enhanced theragnosis
(FET). REVEAL supplies the visual
information to support decision making and facilitate proper treatment
options in cariology, oral hygiene,
periodontology-implantology
and
restorative dentistry.
Another Designs for Vision product is the patented (US pat. 8,851,709
& RE46,463) intuitive response technology of the Micro IR HDi headlight.

The patented IR feature allows you
to operate the headlight with handsfree operation. Onboard biometrics
sense the position of the headlight to
turn the light on when you are working and turn the light off when you
look up.
Designs for Vision’s WireLess
headlights free you from being tethered to a battery pack. The simple
modular designs uncouple the headlights from a specific frame or single
pair of loupes.
The compact design of the LED

announced the release of the i700
wireless — newly designed as a portable wand with the same speed, accuracy and lightness.
“We’re tirelessly listening to our
customers to provide them with the
utmost customer care, which is at our
core to continuously evolve,” said GB
Ko, CEO of Medit. “Our i700 wireless
model is a game-changer with its

technology, according to the company. One battery offers one hour of
continuous scanning and eight hours
in standby mode.
The camera captures up to 70
frames per second, collecting more
data with each pass, in realistic
color and crisp images, the company
asserts. The updated design boasts
a reversible tip and wider scanning
area, allowing for scanning at any
angle with no constraints to movement.
To counter COVID-19 concerns, a
remote-control button means clini-

cians can check scan data from the
scanner and show patients without
worry of cross-contamination. The
self-disinfecting UV-C LED further
keeps the unit clean.
For a complete, trouble-free experience, the i700 wireless runs on Medit
Link, Medit’s software featuring integration with various other CAD/CAM
providers as well as Medit’s own
apps, including Medit Design, Smile
Design, Ortho Simulation, Model
Builder, Crown Fit and more.
“Packed with the latest Medit technology, the i700 wireless continues
our commitment to delivering an
amazing digital dentistry experience
through better tools and solutions,”
said GB Ko.

Infinix: New composite
technology that fights
recurrent decay
By Nobio Staff
n Imagine a composite technology
that defends your restorative margins from recurrent decay by killing
the bacteria that cause secondary caries on contact. And what if you were
able to find a new solution to help you
treat those high-risk caries or problem patients? Now consider if that
technology was designed to last for
the lifetime of the restoration itself.

What is Infinix?

Infinix, a new line of advanced antimicrobial restorative materials from
Nobio, just launched in February in
the United States. The Infinix family
consists of a universal composite, a
flowable composite and a universal
bonding system (prime and bond)
— all with QASi Antimicrobial technology.
Infinix composites are the first
FDA-cleared composites scientifically proven to kill bacteria and
reduce demineralization and secondary caries, according to the company.

To see Nobio’s Infinix products and to
learn more, stop by the booth, No. 1552.

The science behind Infinix

The antimicrobial technology behind
Infinix arises from basic nanomaterial research initiated more than 10
years ago in Israel’s Haddasah School
of Dental Medicine.
The antimicrobial activity is provided by proprietary, quaternaryammonium silica (QASi) particles.
These QASi particles electrostatically attract cariogenic pathogens,
killing them on contact by shredding
the bacteria’s outer membrane.
The covalently bound particles
are insoluble, non-leaching and nonreleasing. Nothing harmful or toxic
interferes with normal healthy flora
in the oral cavity, and they are
designed to be long lasting, with nothing to be recharged or replenished,
according to the company. The QASi
particles are incorporated into dental
materials and become part of the
polymerized restoration upon curing.

Infinix in your hands

“Studies have shown that a traditional
composite can only be expected to

last about five years on average,”
said Dr. John Flucke, practice owner
and chief technology editor of Dental

Products Report. “Composites have
come a long way, but the one thing we
continue to battle is recurrent decay.”
Flucke was the first dentist in the
U.S. to use Infinix in his office.
“In terms of handling and esthetics, Infinix measures up very well
to leading composites. Based on my
hands-on experience, I have walked
away very impressed with this material. I think it has the real potential
to become a big game changer in dentistry,” Flucke said.
Infinix also provides an excellent
solution for those high-risk caries
patients within a practice because
of xerostomia, diabetes, geriatric,
pediatric, high-medicine usage, poor
home care, etc., the company asserts.
You can learn more about Nobio’s
Infinix products at booth No. 1552 or

How to use your dental practice data to
increase your treatment acceptance rate
By Henry Schein One Staff
n You know that treatment acceptance is a key performance indicator
(KPI) for your practice, but do you
know why your patients accept, deny
and/or follow through on treatment?
With better data and analysis, you can
analyze these trends and increase
your treatment acceptance rate.

The new era of data analysis

Analyzing data is the new norm for
business. Its application to the healthcare industry — including dentistry
— is helping improve treatment presentations and care delivery. To begin
analyzing the data in your practice
with a view toward improving treatment acceptance, consider the following questions:
• What is the ratio of treatment
presentations to treatment acceptance?
• What trends can be observed
relative to treatment that patients
accept or choose not to accept?
• What can you learn and apply to
better prepare for treatment presentations that lead to increased acceptance?
Once you have identified the practice data related to treatment and
acceptance, you can then “drill-down”
into data specifics, including the following:
• Patient information such as age,
gender, general health and insurance.
Compare this with appointment frequency, treatment acceptance and
treatment follow-through.
• Date ranges where treatment
acceptance is high or low.

• Seasonal or societal challenges
that may skew data.
• Patient data relative to hygiene
and restorative treatment. Hygiene
reappointments can give you insight
into who’s accepting treatment.
You’ll also want to learn from your
team. They regularly hear feedback
from patients.
Gather that information and look
for trends.
Finally, analyze patient reviews to
determine what’s driving satisfaction
and/or dissatisfaction.
With all this information, you can
then begin to refine your treatment
