March
on in
By Robert Selleck, today Staff
n The Mardi Gras fun started with a
bang and a blast just outside the Midwinter Meeting exhibit hall Thursday
morning, with meeting organizers
joining the band Tubad and the Kings
of Nola in a spirited parade through the
lobby. The internationally acclaimed
New-Orleans-second-line brass band
played “When the Saints Come Marching In,” “Do What You Want” and “Ooh
Nah Nay” as members of the CDC’s
organizing committees danced along
with parasols swinging in tune.

The music set the tone, but meeting
attendees entering the exhibit hall
quickly saw that far more than beads
were being handed out by the more
than 600 exhibiting companies.
The quip booth (No. 447) was as
popular as ever, with free samples of
the subscription electric toothbrush
being given out (while supplies last)
following a brief presentation on the
toothbrush and service.
Twenty aisles away in the First
Citizens Bank booth, No. 2447, you
can drop off a business card or entry
form for a chance at winning a pair
of AirPods. This is the first time the
century-old family-owned bank has
been at the Midwinter Meeting after
recently expanding into the Midwest.
Nobody walks away empty-handed
from the booth, with the bank handing out smiley tooth pens to emphasize its expertise with health-carerelated businesses. A key differentiation stressed by the bank is that none
of its counselors and advisors receive
commissions — all are on salary and
interested only in best serving the
businesses they work with.
“Our motto is ‘Making people’s
lives better through better banking,’”
said Rick Adyniec in the booth Thursday morning.
In the IC System booth (No. 3744),
it’s not time for Mardi Gras, but it is
time to go camping. The accountsreceivable company is handing
out a trail-guide checklist to help
you achieve faster payments and
increased cash flow. You can also
walk away with a stress-ball bear
and a “conference survival kit” that
includes breath mints, antacid tablets

and hand wipes. Don’t leave the booth
before having your badge scanned
to enter the company’s drawing for a
Yeti cooler.
If you’re having a practice-
management software emergency,
head straight to booth No. 911, where
XLDent can demonstrate how its dental software suite can deliver worryfree mobile- and tablet-friendly workflow to improve profitability. While
you’re there, be sure to fill out an
entry form for a $100 cash giveaway.
You don’t need to be around for the
drawing; XLDent will notify the winner to make sure the cash is awarded.
You can find out immediately if you’ve
won a Starbucks gift card at the
XLDent booth. Just play a scratch-off
game before you leave to see if you’re
a winner.
These are just a few of the many
giveaways. And there are plenty
more chances to win over these next
two days.

Why are lasers so necessary?
By Mark Colonna, DDS
n Why lasers? I’ve been asked this
question for nearly 20 years now.
There are so many reasons to use
lasers in dentistry, but also so many
choices as to which laser to buy/use.
So, which one is the best choice for my
practice, you might ask? Well, I’m at
the Fotona booth to help you decide,
so come visit, and let’s chat live! But,
for now…
Let’s start by answering the last
question. With so many choices:
diodes, CO2, Erbium, Nd:YAG, etc.,
the choices, let’s face it, can be daunting (and the possible price tag can be
daunting too!). So just like a patient
asks, “How much is this gonna cost
me?” I’ll share my journey and “whys”
and what I feel is the best option for
the price and the patient care.
I wanted a laser that can do everything! I didn’t want a laser that
just did soft tissue. Why waste time
and money on that when I can get
a laser that does fillings, crowns,
endodontics, soft tissue, oral surgery
and more! When I looked at lasers,
I wanted a return on investment as
well.
With a diode or soft tissue-only
laser, there is only so much you can

do with them, and they are not that
viable to help pay for the cost of the
laser. The Erbium YAG laser can do
it all! Especially the Fotona Lightwalker. It has both the Er:YAG and
Nd:YAG wavelengths and, to tell you
the truth, this laser does it all. From
endo, to all hard- and soft-tissue procedures, you can think of, plus the
Nightlase procedure for snoring, and
so much more than I can express in
this short article!
The other thing about the
Lightwalker by Fotona is the science behind the laser, and its procedures: from bonding to PIPS/SWEEPS
for endodontic procedures, perio
and even the Nightlase/Smoothlase
esthetic procedures. Science is a very
important aspect of a laser purchase.
You want one that you can stand
behind with your patients, staff and,
of course, yourself that you are using
the best of the best for your patient
care. Backed by science!
Don’t let the price tag disturb you.
These lasers pay for themselves in
short order by time savings per procedure. Not to mention that the laser
may open doors for you to provide
other procedures you may not have
ever done before. There are myriad
procedures I never did before that
the laser does better than traditional
methods.
All in all, lasers are amazing
tools that make all of your procedures better and quicker. That makes
my day-to-day practice run so much
smoother. Come by the booth, and I’ll
answer any questions you still have!

Primescan perfects digital impressions
By Dentsply Sirona Staff
n
Easier than ever, faster than
before, more accurate than previously possible — all describe Primescan, the new intraoral scanner from
Dentsply Sirona.
With its completely new, patentpending digital-impression technology, Primescan enables highprecision digital impressions to be
taken of the entire jaw. These scans present numerous possibilities for users.
Primescan was designed for various digital workflows — with the
laboratory directly in the practice,
with CEREC or in cooperation with
external partners. Validated interfaces noticeably simplify the process,
offering dentists the flexibility they
desire, according to the company.
What was considered an absolute
sensation more than 30 years ago
is almost taken for granted today.
In terms of quality, digital intraoral
impressions are technically equal
to, and in some cases superior to,
traditional impressions, while also
offering an improved patient experience. Dentsply Sirona introduced the
digital impression to dentistry with
CEREC.
Now, with Primescan, Dentsply
Sirona is introducing an intraoral
scanner with outstanding technology, which enables scans that are
more precise than anything we have
known before, the company asserts.
This has been substantiated by a new
study at the University of Zurich1.
“Dentists rightly expect products
and solutions from Dentsply Sirona
that make their work at the dental
practice easier, safer and better,” said
Dr. Alexander Völcker, group vice
president, CAD/CAM and orthodontics at Dentsply Sirona. “Primescan
is the solution to an important issue
in practices — the option of faster,
precise impressioning — which is

easy to manage in the usual practice
environment, which is reliable, which
delivers clinically flawless results
and which is simply fun to use.”
Primescan’s optical impression
system has been decisively developed. The scan of the surfaces of the
teeth is completed with high-resolution sensors and shortwave light, capturing up to one million 3-D points per
second. With optical high-frequency
contrast analysis, they can now be
calculated more accurately than ever
before, according to the company.
Dentsply Sirona has submitted a
patent application for this process.
With Primescan, it also is possible
to scan deeper areas (up to 20 mm).
This enables digital impressions even
for subgingival or particularly deep
preparations. Virtually all the tooth
surfaces are captured, even when
scanning from very acute angles. Primescan captures the dental surfaces
immediately, in the required resolution and with a high degree of clarity
even at great depths, thereby ensuring a much more detailed 3-D model.
The precise scanning technology enables Primescan to be implemented universally. Not only does
it produce high-precision images of
natural teeth and preparations, it also
provides extremely accurate images
of other materials commonly used
in dentistry, according to Dentsply
Sirona.
For example, implant specialists
appreciate the simple impressions
of edentulous arches or sites with
implants, and orthodontists highly
rate the detailed scan results for soft
tissues (gums, frenulum). With this
new scanning technology, impressions can be completed very quickly.
A full jaw impression, including
model calculation, is complete in just
two to three minutes.
With Primescan, users can leverage the full potential of digital
processes for better treatment. The
modular concept offers a suitable
solution for every need within the
practice. The digital 3-D model can
be transmitted to a laboratory via
the new Connect software (formerly
Sirona Connect) and can also be
further processed with different software, e.g., for orthodontic or implant
treatment planning.
The newly developed Connect
Case Center Inbox enables laboratories around the world to connect to
the Connect Case Center. This allows
a validated scan data from Primescan to be received easily for further
processing in the desired programs
and workflows. Alternatively, the restoration can be planned and manufactured in the practice using the
new CEREC software 5, with its new
design, intuitive touch functionality
and noticeably improved screen resolution, according to Dentsply Sirona.
Dr. Alexander Völcker expresses
his confidence in the technology:
“Digital impressions with Primescan are the starting point for other
exciting digital processes, without
limiting the future decisions of dental
practices. With our seamless solutions and validated workflows with
external partners, we are setting
new standards which, thanks to digital technologies, enable even better
dentistry.”

venience and power of the Machine III
at a fraction of the cost. Bringing the
Pro-Vac into your office can increase
patient services, accelerate appliance
delivery times and save lab fees,
according to Keystone.
Improving on the design of the
Machine III, the base of the Pro-Vac
vacuum former is made of a strong,
lightweight thermoplastic designed
for high temperatures.
This housing dampens vibrations
better than traditional housing, resulting in a quieter unit. In addition, the
thermoplastic casing brings the cost
of the Pro-Vac down almost 20 percent
from the cost of the Machine III, while
maintaining the same superior operating level, the company asserts.
The Pro-Vac and Machine III are
both more powerful than any other
dental vacuum former, according to
Keystone, and produce more accu-
rate and defined thermoplastics than
any other model. Its heating element
design and placement ensures even
heat distribution throughout the thermoplastic material. This makes the
Pro-Vac ideal for producing bleaching
trays, sports mouthguards, implant
splints, custom impression trays, denture bases, copings, and temporary
crowns, bridges, splints and orthodontic devices.
For superior performance, reliability and price, add the Pro-Vac vacuum
former to your office, Keystone Industries recommends.

Buffering: Better than ever with Onset
By Benco Dental Staff
n
Faster onset, less chair time,
improved practice flow — all delivered by one buffering agent. And it’s
better than ever.
Now, Onset can be used to buffer
four of the five major local anesthetics
used in dentistry: lidocaine, articane,
prilocaine and mepevicaine.
Plus, its useful life once opened has
been extended from one practice day
to five — a real money saver, according
to Benco Dental.
“I have been using Onset for the
past couple of years, and I couldn’t be
more happy with the results of each
injection,” said Jason W. Erickson,
DDS, of Erickson Dental in Irving,
Texas. “The medical field has been
buffering anesthetics for years and
when Onset became available to dentists, it was a no brainer to add it to
my practice.”
The benefits of buffering are obvious. It’s better for patients and practitioners alike, Benco asserts. When
you can numb patients in seconds
rather than minutes, you can stay by
the patient’s side the entire time for
an improved patient experience. It
also means you can get right to work,
so patients spend less time in the
chair and your practice flow improves
significantly.
“Patients report a noticeable
increase in comfort with each injection and anesthesia is achieved much
quicker,” Erickson said. “It’s an aspect
of each procedure that is irreplaceable and gives me the confidence that

benefits of Onset by Onpharma,

each patient is being treated the way I
would want them to be treated.”
Local anesthetic cartridges have a
pH of about 3.5, roughly the same as
lemon juice. After injection, the body
must raise the pH of the anesthetic
towards physiologic (~7.4) before the
patient can achieve pulpal anesthesia. The body’s buffering process
takes time and keeps doctor and staff
waiting to begin the procedure.
With the Onset system, you can
instantly raise the pH of the anesthetic chairside prior to injecting,
taking time and the patient’s physiology out of the process, according to
Benco Dental.
The local anesthetic injection now
has the pH of normal saline, instead
of lemon juice. Standard anesthetics
contain only 1 in 25,000 de-ionized
molecules, the active form of the
anesthetic.
Buffering with Onset right before
injection results in a 6,000-fold
improvement in the amount of available active anesthetic.
Put simply: This instantly raises
the pH of the anesthetic closer to
physiologic pH levels, taking the wait
time out of the buffering process.
Not only is Onset easy to use and
a proven productivity booster, it’s
more cost-effective than ever thanks
to the new, five-day shelf life, Benco
Dental asserts. If your practice averages four working days per week and
administers local anesthetic on an
average of four to seven times per day,
your Onset investment is only $12-$14
per day, a significant reduction vs. the
previous version.
Factor in the time savings and
improved patient experience, and
adding Onset to your practice is an
investment that pays off daily, according to Benco.

Solvay Dental 360 shows off
its paradigm-shifting polymer
Here in Chicago, company is offering dentists a premium alternative to metal partials
By Solvay Dental 360 Staff
n Solvay Dental 360™ is bringing
Ultaire™ AKP, a high-performance
polymer for removable partial denture (RPD) frames, to the Chicago
Midwinter Meeting.
Ultaire AKP was specifically
designed to fill the gap between metal
RPDs, which can be too rigid and stiff,
and other polymer frame materials
that can be too flexible.
“Dentists and patients alike are
demanding better materials for RPDs,
and Ultaire AKP delivers in a way that
metal and other polymer options simply cannot,” says Shawn Shorrock,
global director, Solvay Dental 360.
“We saw an unmet need to replace
metal in dental materials, similar
to other markets we serve such as
orthopedic and cardiovascular, and
we worked closely with dentists to
ensure Ultaire AKP best serves their
needs and those of their patients.”
As patients become more aware
of the effects of metal — the potential
allergies, toxicity and taste — they are
also becoming more proactive, asking for partial dentures that feel natural, comfortable and are esthetically
appealing. Ultaire AKP is an innovative aryl ketone polymer that provides a biocompatible, lightweight,
metal-free, non-irritating and more
esthetically pleasing alternative to
traditional metal RPD frames, according to the company.
Ultaire AKP is a rigid material
— not flexible — suitable as a metal
replacement and different than the
other non-metal materials currently
on the market, the company asserts.
It is both strong enough and tough
enough to be tooth-supported and
help reduce bone loss, yet it is flexible
enough to engage undercuts more
deeply.
Making multiple adjustments to a
milled RPD can be time-consuming
and frustrating for patients and dentists alike. Furthermore, months or
even years of adjustments tend to
wear down once-healthy teeth.
Not only does Ultaire AKP provide
an esthetically pleasing, biocompatible alternative to metal, according to
the company, but once an RPD made
out of Ultaire AKP is designed and fitted, adjustments should not be neces-

MTI Dental unleashes the Lynx
By MTI Dental Staff
Here in Chicago
n MTI Dental, a leader in dental
handpiece manufacturing, recently
announced the release of the Lynx
dental lab motor.
This newest addition to the MTI
catalog offers a quality solution with
a sleek modern design for dentists to
perform in-house lab work, according
to the company.
If you own a milling machine or
receive less than perfect results from
your partnering lab, then look no further, the Lynx dental lab motor could
be your solution.
The Lynx dental lab micromotor
is easy to operate with a plethora of
different settings to provide optimal
results when filing, trimming and
polishing restorations, the company
asserts.
Lynx has been a well-respected
brand in dental handpieces for decades, and this lab motor follows that

MTI will release throughout 2019.
As MTI’s Vice President Peter
Miranda said: “Every dentist performing restorations of any kind, by
partnering with laboratories or milling in-house, should have a quality
lab motor. It is another valuable tool
in the modern dentist’s armament
that will create value by increasing
efficiency, reducing costs and saving
valuable chair time by completing
some adjustments in-office.”
MTI continues to create value for
dental practitioners by delivering
high-quality products cost effectively, the company states.
As time goes on, there are fewer
and fewer options for affordable quality dental equipment. In a market
saturated in aftermarket, gray label
and non-compliant equipment, turn
to an American manufacturer with
Lynx Dental Lab Series information and features:
• Introductory offer: $345
• Sleek modern design
• E-type electric micro-motor with
holder
• 0 to 30,000 RPMs
• Variable speed by hand or foot
controller
• Forward and reverse options
• Built-in safety overload sensor
• Durable carbon brushes
• Includes foot pedal controller

STELLAR materials at the
forefront of implant surgery
Don’t worry about fractures during the healing phase with STELLAR DC Acrylic
By TAUB Products Staff
n All-on-X immediate and delayed
load full-arch guided surgeries have
become the pinnacle procedure in
implant full-mouth smile reconstruction.
Full-arch guided surgeries offer
a patient with an otherwise nonexistent smile the ability to have
a confidence-inspiring smile with
excellent occlusion and alignment.
A guided surgery is not inexpensive to the patient. It has a price tag
where the patient will expect the
very best components and materials
are used, for the very best results.
If the patient comes back because of
PMMA denture fractures at the cylinder interface, in the middle of the
healing phase, not only is the patient
upset but the labor and time to fix the
issue and reseat the healing denture
will seriously affect the overall profit,
patient confidence, doctor confidence
in material resin choice and predictable outcomes of the procedure.
STELLAR DC Acrylic is a revolutionary, dual-cure PMMA pick-up and
conversion resin with amazing cure
speed and unsurpassed durability,
over any other pick-up resin used for
All-on-X denture pick-ups and conversions, according to TAUB Products. It
can speed up the pick-up and conversion time by 30 plus minutes.
STELLAR offers extreme “rock
hard” durability, the company asserts,
and won’t fracture throughout the

healing phase when used as directed.
STELLAR DC Acrylic Resin is great
for: creating implant verification jigs,
welding index jig components, transfer and insertion guides for implants;
open tray or closed tray pick-up
impression copings; abutment seating jigs; picking up denture locators
and chimneys; and creating structure
models of implant components and
repair dentures. It can be tack cured
in five seconds, fully light cured in 20
seconds and will cure on its own in
120 seconds. It provides the fastest
production time of any acrylic, has
no shrinkage, has no polymerization
heat during cure and has no tension
after cure, according to the company.
“STELLAR DC Acrylic is a game
changer for pick-up and conversions
of immediate load temporary restorations and locator pick-ups,” said
Jordan Taub, vice president at TAUB
Products. “Using our chemistry
and technology, the CDT, super GP
and periodontist now have an ultradurable, fast-setting, no-heat, noshrinkage acrylic that dramatically reduces production times and
repairs, flushing the bottom line with
recovered lost revenue.”
TAUB is known for an implant
restorative system consisting of three
products that are said to solve many
issues when placing cement and
screw-retained implant restorations:
GoCHx Gel Syringeable Chlorhexidine, Liquid Magic Resin Barrier
abutment access plug and ZERO-G
Bio-Implant Cement.
TAUB Products can be found at
booth No. 1911. Stop by for a demonstration, grab literature and find out
about show specials.
The company is also looking for
more lecture-based clinicians. If you
