(Photo/Fred Michmershizen, today Staff) 5 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. Here in Chicago To learn more about exocad’s ChairsideCAD 3.0 Galway, visit exocad at booth No. 2405 or visit the company online at exocad.com/chairside cad-galway. ChairsideCAD 3.0 Galway is the next generation of exocad’s easy-to-use CAD software for single-visit dentistry. The chairside workflow is streamlined, intuitive and optimized for use in the practice. (Photo/Provided by exocad) 5 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.[5] => [6] => 6 exhibitors Chicago Midwinter Meeting — February 24, 2022 Keep your chin up and eyes forward with Infinity VUE By Designs for Vision Staff Infinity VUE loupes, one of many new innovations available from Designs for Vision, are designed to help improve posture. (Photo/Provided by Designs for Vision) 5 AD n Designs for Vision has several new and innovative products, including Infinity VUE, Panoramic Field and REVEAL. Designed to provide a straight- Here in Chicago You can see the Visible Difference by visiting Designs for Vision at booth No. 1612.

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.[7] => [8] => exhibitors 8 Chicago Midwinter Meeting — February 24, 2022 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 AD Here in Chicago To learn more about AmnioExcite and other products, visit Salvin Dental Specialties at booth No. 1608. The new AmnioExcite three-layer placental membrane. (Photo/Provided by Salvin Dental Specialties) 5 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.

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 monitoring your data on an all-in-one dental dashboard 5 (Photo/Provided by Henry Schein One) or lower your no-show percentages.

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.

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 5 Nova, a new contra-angle, makes its debut here in Chicago at booth No. 3402.

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.” For more on Nova, go to www.bienairusa.com/choosenova or go see it in person at booth No. 3402.[19] => [20] => 20 exhibitors Chicago Midwinter Meeting — February 24, 2022 HeyGears launches UltraCraft ChairSide and ChairSide Pro Dental production solutions By HeyGears Staff n HeyGears, a digital manufacturing company specializing in 3-D printing and production, has announced new chairside products for its line of dental technology innovations: the UltraCraft ChairSide, ChairSide Pro, AirWash and AirCure.
