plus long-awaited, in-person gatherings with compatriots. Fittingly, the
theme of this year’s event is “A Dental
Tradition.”
But first, some ground rules. All
participants at this year’s Midwinter
Meeting are required to wear a facemask, and all attendees must have
had at least one COVID-19 vaccination.
To help, MEDICOM is sponsoring
individually sealed facemasks for use
during the meeting. And to make
attendance here even safer for all,

By Fred Michmershuizen, today Staff
n The Midwinter Meeting is often
the place where the dental industry’s newest and most advanced
technology is introduced. This year
in Chicago, one such innovation is
ChairsideCAD 3.0 Galway. The nextgeneration CAD software for singlevisit dentistry, developed by exocad,
an Align Technology company, first
became available in the United States
and Canada in November 2021.
As part of a marketing campaign
behind the launch, company principals from exocad sat down for an
interview with the today Staff at the
2021 Greater New York Dental Meeting, where they discussed the new
software and what it offers to dental
practices.
The executives from exocad said
that this new release — named after
the Irish city of Galway, a European
“Capital of Culture” — provides dentists with design tools for a vast
range of indications along with a
wide choice of integrated devices.
The chairside workflow is highly
automated, intuitive and optimized
for practice use, they said.
The software includes a step-bystep guide through the design process
and a smooth integration with open
intraoral
scanners,
production
devices and implant systems. ChairsideCAD 3.0 Galway also enables the
in-house design of FDA-cleared custom abutments. “This software was
designed to help clinicians who are
adopting a single-visit dentistry
model,” said Larry Bodony, president, exocad America. “With ChairsideCAD 3.0 Galway, dentists can
streamline their workflow – from the
first restorative steps to the manufacture of the surgical components
needed to complete a treatment plan.”
Tillmann Steinbrecher, CEO of exocad, added more details about the
features and highlights of the new
release. “It’s optimized to reduce
design time by adding more automation and bringing our Instant Anatomic Morphing technology to ChairsideCAD,” Steinbrecher explained.
“The goal is to enable the clinician to
design the exact shape she or he has
in mind but with minimal time effort.”
The software is designed to be
suitable for both experts and novices. Those who are newer to CAD/
CAM may appreciate its fast, “wizard-guided” workflows, while more
advanced users can select free design
sequences that offer greater flexibility, Bodony and Steinbrecher both
explained.

Another advantage of the new
exocad software release, is that it supports collaboration between dental
technicians and dentists.
“Collaboration has been a founding
feature of our software,” Bodony said.
“We have a technology called dentalshare included in all of our products
that is a point-to-point communication tool that allows technicians and
dentists to communicate in near real
time on cases. Basically, the exocad
scan by the dentist can be shared in
its entirety with the lab with just a few
clicks of a mouse. It’s very efficient in
time so that they can then get on the
phone if they need to communicate
or there’s a built-in chat function that

allows them to discuss the case and
send files back and forth quickly.”
“We firmly believe that the earlier
and the more you get the dental technician involved in treatment planning, the better the result,” Steinbrecher said. “It’s key to provide a
platform that enables better collaboration between dentists and dental
technicians. It also enables dental
technicians to offer an additional
range of digital services to dentists.”
Steinbrecher said that the most
important thing he wants dentists
to know about exocad is that it provides the software tools needed to
make the most out of their existing
equipment. “No matter if it’s a 3-D

printer or an intraoral scanner or a
milling machine, we provide the software that ties things together with
smooth and efficient workflows and
that allows effective and timely communications between labs and dental
practices to the next level,” he said.
Christine McClymont, global head
of marketing and communications
for exocad, described the thinking
behind the branding of the software,
which includes the catchphrase —
“Imagine the CADabilities” — as well
as a testimonial campaign and an
expanded booth presence at key dental meetings. “We wanted to make
sure that we elevate the exocad
brand,” she said.
McClymont said attendees are
invited to the exocad booth to view
demonstrations and to take a “deeper
dive into the technology” to learn
more about the digital workflow.
It’s award-winning technology, as
well. Last year the Cellerant Group
named ChairsideCAD as its 2021 Best
of Class Technology Award winner for
clinical design software. It was the
third consecutive year exocad software was recognized with the award.

Infinity VUE loupes are available 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.
Designs for Vision invites you to
try these loupes on to see (and feel) the
difference in your posture.
The new patented Panoramic Field
Loupes (U.S. 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, the company says.
Another Designs for Vision product
is its groundbreaking REVEAL (U.S.
pat. 10215977B1), providing handsfree fluorescence enhanced theragnosis (FET). According to the company,
REVEAL supplies the visual information to support decision making and
facilitate proper treatment options
in cariology, oral hygiene, periodontology-implantology and restorative
dentistry.
Designs for Vision is also introducing the patented intuitive response
technology with the Micro IR HDi
headlight (U.S. pat. 8,851,709 and
RE46,463). The patented IR feature
allows you to operate the headlight
with hands-free 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 DayLite WireLess headlights are independent of any frame/
loupes.

The science behind the 3-layer placental membrane
By Salvin Dental Specialties Staff
n
The new AmnioExcite placental membrane, available from Salvin
Dental Specialties, includes both
amnion and chorion layers plus a
trophoblast layer. According to the
company, the trophoblast layer contains more than 50 percent of the
biologically relevant proteins in the
placental membrane,1 and LifeNet
Health’s patented and proprietary
Matracell decellularization process
serves to minimize immunogenic and
inflammatory responses.7,8
The amnion membrane by itself is
thin and contains only a small portion
of the biological factors found in the

full-thickness placental membrane,
Salvin said. The chorionic membrane
contains many of the same growth
factors as the amnion membrane.
However, the trophoblast layer holds

a majority of the proteins and growth
factors in the full-thickness placental
membrane.1
AmnioExcite is approximately
four times thicker than an amnion

or chorion membrane for a more substantial protective barrier.2 AmnioExcite’s unique thickness may help
prevent bacterial ingress and thus
inflammation associated with infection, the company said.
AmnioExcite does not fold in upon
itself when rehydrated, making it
much easier to handle and less likely
to migrate away from the surgical site
during the healing process.3
Unlike other amnion/chorion
membrane allografts, the layers in
AmnioExcite are never separated
during the process because separation can adversely impact retention
of the native growth factors.4
In most placental-based allografts,
the trophoblast layer is removed.
However, by removing this layer,
a rich source of beneficial endogenous biological factors and the thick
structural matrix is also removed.1
Therefore, AmnioExcite retains more
endogenous growth factors than similar placenta-derived allografts by
being processed as an intact, whole
membrane, according to Salvin.
A few tissue processors do retain
the trophoblast layer without removing viable and non-viable cells, which
may provoke an immune response
because of the presence of antigens
on the cell surface.5 The ideal solution is to leave the thick, nutrient-rich
extracellular matrix of the trophoblast layer intact but remove the
donor cells to minimize an immune or
inflammatory response.
LifeNet Health has solved this
problem by processing AmnioExcite
with its Matracell decellularization
process.6,7 Matracell is a patented
and validated process that renders
allograft tissue acellular without
compromising the biomechanical or
desired biochemical properties for its
intended surgical application.8
Both Salvin Dental and LifeNet
Health have an exemplary safety
record. Since 1995, LifeNet Health
has processed more than 7 million
bio-implants with its Allowash technology, without a single case of disease transmission. AmnioExcite has
a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of
10-6, which is the recommended SAL
for medical devices or allografts that
are implanted or come in contact with
breeched skin.

Specialties at (800) 535-6566.

your growth

stop by the Henry Schein One booth,
No. 5008. To schedule a demo, go to
JarvisAnalytics.com.

3. Systemized patient follow-up

By Henry Schein One Staff

Establish a process for documenting why patients haven’t scheduled,
rescheduled, or returned for routine
dental care. This data can provide
insight into how you communicate
with them for follow-up treatment.
• Know individual patient preferences. Do they respond best to email,
text, reminder postcard or phone
call? Flag this data in your dental
dashboard.
• Log their reasons for cancellation. Life events or a specific “season
of life” are important for notation and
reference in their patient data.
• Focus on reactivating patients of
record. Even though time since their
last appointment could create unfamiliarity, remember they still have a
history with your practice.

n Knowing your practice production
is inarguably an essential and trackable KPI. Your production has a direct
influence on your revenue, cash flow
and income.
Thankfully, your practice has key
data about your production that, when
properly used, can help you improve
your revenue and growth. The following three areas of focus can help you
gain better insight on how to enhance
your production.

1. Schedule analysis

This includes more than glancing at
your schedule volume; you should
also analyze the time you spend with
those scheduled patients.
Determine how much time can
you realistically save for each hour
of scheduled treatment, and then
turn that time into more production.
Even five or 10 minutes saved per
procedure can quickly add up over
six months or a year. Be careful to also
consider team availability and your
ability to maintain procedural efficiency without compromising care
standards.

2. Comparison of no-shows to
treatment value

Ultimately you want to eliminate

Increase your production by

or lower your no-show percentages.
Determine what treatment is being
missed by scheduled patients who
fail to show, and then set a target per-

centage for no-show reduction. You
can quickly calculate your increase
in production time when you reach
your target.

Production improves when you can
leverage your data. With Jarvis Analytics for Private Practices, you can
unleash dark data deep inside your
practice so you can track and view
everything in real-time, find hidden production opportunities and fill
your schedule.

CAD/CAM technology
just got a whole lot better
By Planmeca Staff
n As you enjoy perusing the booths
at this year’s Chicago Midwinter
Meeting, you’ll get up close and personal with some of the industry’s
newest innovations, latest gadgets
and blingy instruments. Some are
nice-to-haves, but many more are
staples of dental practices, improved
over time.
Regardless of what booths you
meander past, be sure to find your
way to Planmeca. Today, one of the
largest privately held dental manufacturers globally sets the stage to be
a real player in the CAD/CAM space.
With the new Planmeca FIT system, dental practices have everything they need to make single-visit
dentistry a reality in their office.
While intraoral scanning and chairside mills are not new technology, the
latest from Planmeca makes them
easy to attain and implement so doctors can begin enjoying the benefits
to both the practice and the patients.
“I’ve been a beta tester of new CAD/
CAM technology for many years,”
said Dr. William Flora, a busy general
dentist in Elkhart, Ind.
Flora and his team have recently
tested Planmeca’s new FIT system,
which includes the new PlanMill® 35
chairside mill and enhanced Planmeca Emerald™ S intraoral scanning
software. His findings are more than
positive.
“I’ve been a fan of Planmeca’s mills
for years. I have an original PlanMill
40 and PlanMill 30 S that are still in
use today — they are workhorses that
keep going,” Flora said. “I expect the
same will ring true for this new mill.
I’ve been milling zirconia, glass and
hybrid ceramics on this mill, and I
have no complaints. The final restorations are beautiful, including the fit.
I haven’t had to make adjustments at
all. The accuracy is spot on. I can also
easily switch from wet to dry milling
with a flip of a switch if I use a different block material.
“The Emerald S scanner is improved too. It’s really fast. My assistants have had no issues scanning
a full mouth in a matter of minutes.
Even my new hire is scanning like
a pro. I think this is a great system,”
he said.

CAM technology is profound. Patients
are starting to expect conveniences
from their dentists, such as coming in
for a crown and leaving with the final
restoration. They’re also looking for

a practice that can handle all their
needs, from orthodontics to implants.
Having this technology makes these
and so much more possible.
As for the practice, having a CAD/

CAM system is one of those investments that pays for itself. Just ask a
representative for an ROI analysis.
If you decided this was the year to
take the plunge, they can take your
practice data and show you what your
potential savings could be.

Tuttnauer USA: Providing complete
infection control solutions for dentists
By Tuttnauer USA
n Since 1925, Tuttnauer has provided
complete infection control solutions
for dental clinics, while investing in
R&D and launching technologically
advanced sterilization and disinfection solutions.
While the last couple of years have
been tough for the dental industry,
Tuttnauer took this time to develop

and launch new products, such as
the T-Edge — the company’s newest
tabletop autoclave and an industry
first, featuring an “upgrade-ready”
option to upgrade the autoclave from
a Gravity (Class S) sterilizer to a Pre/
Post Vacuum (Class B) sterilizer.
The T-Edge autoclave is available
in both 10-inch and 11-inch chamber
sizes. If you have the need for speed, it
can complete a wrapped cycle, includ-

ing drying, in 35 minutes. In terms
of safety, personalized usernames
and passwords are available for the
individual operator, ensuring protection and traceability, according to the
company. The internal memory can
store up to 1,000 sterilization cycles,
which can be transferred to your computer via USB.
In addition to the new autoclave,
the company has introduced a ther-

and the TIVA8-MD (under counter
washer) with a 165 L capacity.
The washer-high-disinfector line
is available in undercounter or countertop configurations. These units
provide turnkey solutions for washing, disinfecting and drying diverse
instruments for a complete decontamination cycle.
The company’s in-office biological indicators and automatic readers
were designed with busy dental practices in mind, removing dependency
on mail-in and long waits for results.
The “Ultra Rapid” biological indicator
delivers results in 20 minutes, the
fastest in the market, according to
the company. The in-office B.I. solution will replace mail-ins and remove
liability issues that may occur by
waiting for the results, while using
the instruments on dental patients.

infection control solutions provider to
dental clinics across the United States
and Canada.

Chicago Midwinter Meeting — February 24, 2022

Nova sets new standard
in electric handpieces
Smallest, slimmest, lightest still delivers big on power
By Bien-Air Dental Staff
n After nearly four years in development, Bien-Air Dental is unveiling its
new Nova contra-angle here at the
2022 Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting.
Electric handpieces have been
available to dentists for a number of
years, but lingering concerns about
size, weight and general contentment with the status quo have kept a
number of doctors from seeing the
full clinical benefits electrics can
deliver.
Nova is designed to take those
concerns head-on — starting with a
smaller head.
The Nova’s small head and slim
handle enhance the dentist’s field of
vision and guarantee easier access
in the back of the mouth, according
to the company. It is the smallest
head to also feature the Accu-Spray
Quattro Mix system, focusing four
asymmetrical air/water sprays on the
end of the bur with laser precision to
ensure optimal irrigation in the working area.
Connected to one of Bien-Air’s
LED motors, a multi-strand optical
glass conductor simulates daylight
conditions with reduced reflection for
exceptional visibility in the working
area, the company asserts.
“I was skeptical on how powerful
such a small head could be, and to my
surprise, the small head doesn’t mean
less power,” said Dr. Gabriela Duraes
of Blooming Smiles Dental Studio in
Chicago. “Nova cuts tooth structure
fast and smooth, without requiring
any extra pressure or concerns with
overheating.”
The unwillingness to compromise
— holding size and power as equally
important to the dentist — was a
trademark of the Nova design and
engineering processes, according to
the company.
“Without compromising performance, our goal was to push the limits,
to deliver the size and weight reduction demanded by the long hours
kept by dental professionals,” said
Marco Gallina, VP of innovation and

marketing for Bien-Air. “This is why
we pushed ourselves to provide the
smallest front bearing with four-port
water spray, that will not overheat the
working surface of the patient.”
“Without agility, strength and
power become ineffective. At BienAir, we approach our design and
engineering problems from a holistic
perspective to balance each point of

strength — we don’t want to reduce
the weight if it means we increase
noise. Or, we don’t want to reduce the

head size if it means you cannot use
a standard length bur,” said Edgar
Schönbächler, CEO of Bien-Air. “The
Nova is our greatest achievement in
making a handpiece that is smaller,
quieter, and will last longer than any
previous version.”
