New look, same heart

Chicago Midwinter Meeting. This year’s gatherings are all taking place virtually at www.cds.org/meetings-events/midwintermeeting. (Photo/today Staff file photo)

n The Chicago Dental Society’s 156th
Midwinter Meeting is here, and this
year looks a lot different than any
other time in the organization’s history: The classroom space is unlimited, the halls are traffic-free and the
exhibitors are just a chat box away.
But while the meeting may be
completely virtual in order to keep
all attendees, presenters and exhibitors safe from the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic, the core of the event hasn’t
changed — there are still more than
100 live lectures from 66 speakers, an
exhibit hall featuring 146 exhibitors
and opportunities to network with
your colleagues.
The meeting will continue through
Saturday, but courses will remain
available until March 15.

Midwinter course: Aerosol mitigation
By Air Techniques Staff
n Air Techniques, a leading innovator and manufacturer of dental equipment, will be sponsoring the course “A Practical Approach to Aerosol Mitigation,” presented by Dr. Martin Koch at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting.
This relative course, CLV204, is open to anyone who registers to attend
the virtual meeting. Koch will be presenting at 10 a.m. Central on Friday,
Feb. 26, and attendees will receive 1 C.E. credit
This course offers the perfect opportunity for dental professionals to
learn about the increased risk of exposure to dental aerosols if not treated
correctly. Dental aerosols and droplets are produced during dental procedures generated by dental instruments, namely turbine and power water
jet devices. In this presentation, Koch will provide insight into the latest
research and present the results of a study that is being conducted.
Attendees will be able to identify the risks and properties of dental aerosol particles. Recognizing these risks is key to understanding why effective
treatment procedures are essential in keeping the operatory a safe working
environment. You will be able to successfully implement needed measures
that will significantly reduce or eliminate dental aerosol risk.
Koch studied biology at the University of Hohenheim and then received
his doctorate in biotechnology from RWTH Aachen University. He is a
respected lecturer and, since 2001, has held the position of Head of the
Technical Academy at Durr Dental.
To learn more
Attend Dr. Koch’s “A Practical Approach to Aerosol Mitigation,” at 10 a.m. Central on
Friday, Feb. 26, course CLV204. You can also visit Air Techniques in the virtual exhibit
hall at booth No. 305.

Chicago Midwinter Meeting — February 25–27, 2021
ADA announces commencement
of 2021 Give Kids a Smile program
By ADA staff
n The 19th annual Give Kids a Smile
program virtually kicked off this
month with more than 1,000 events
across the country providing free
dental health care to thousands of
underserved children with the help
of more than 8,100 dentists and 17,000
dental health team members.
Events will continue throughout
the entire year.
Since its launch in 2003, the GKAS
program has provided dental health
care to more than 6 million underserved children.
In 2021, program volunteers will
deliver much needed oral health
care and education to approximately
300,000 underserved children. The
start of the 2021 GKAS program has
already launched efforts across the
country in providing free oral health

education, screenings and preventative and restorative treatment alongside oral health product kits.
“Helping 300,000 children in need
is something to smile about, especially during this challenging time,”
said ADA President Daniel J. Klemmedson, DDS, MD. “This year’s program is also the first step in helping
families find a dental home where
they can receive ongoing care.”
This effort would not be possible
without the sponsors who have consistently supported the Give Kids a
Smile program. With the support of

sponsors Colgate-Palmolive, Henry
Schein Inc. and Indian Health Services, GKAS is able to provide treatment and education kits for thousands
of children who otherwise would not
have access to these resources.
The COVID-19 pandemic has
resulted in an unprecedented year
for the GKAS program.
“Although the program looks a little different this year, GKAS will go on
with enhanced safety and infection
control protocols in place,” Klemmedson said.

It all adds up: Why digital
printing is booming
Today’s dental printers
provide rapid in-office
fabrication that are
less expensive, reduce
waste and are useful
across a wider range
of treatments
To learn more
For more information about 3-D printers, stop by the Henry Schein virtual
booth during the Chicago Midwinter
Meeting.
By Henry Schein Dental Staff
n
Most of digital dentistry has
focused on subtractive manufacturing (aka, milling) for the fabrication of final restorations, guides and
dentures — essentially removing
material to create the end result and
providing an improved experience in
dentistry.
The continuing decrease in price
and size and increase in speed and
ease of utilization has brought additive manufacturing (aka, printing)
rapidly to the forefront for consideration.
And while most printers today are
used in dental laboratories vs. dental
offices (88 percent vs. 12 percent), it
is predicted that by 2027, the utilization will be essentially even, if not
slightly reversed (46 percent vs. 54
percent).1
Another report says printing technology is expected to provide more
than 60 percent of all dental product
needs by 2025. 2
Why the proliferation of printing
considerations? Today’s dental printers provide rapid in-office fabrication
that are less expensive, produce less
waste and are useful across a wider
range of treatments, including models, functional appliances, surgical
guides, nightguards, dentures, provisionals and, in some cases, long-term
restorations.
In general, all stereolithography
printers function on the same principle — using UV light to cure photosensitive liquid resin. However, there
are different methods employed to
deliver the result, each providing
pros and cons.
1. Projector-based stereolithography: Projecting a wide arc that
reaches the entire build platform at

once, making this type accurate and
fast with long operating life. Highly
recommended for dental applications
and chairside use (please see the
SprintRay Pro image above).
2. Laser-based stereolithography:
Projecting a tiny pinpoint of light for
incrementing curing, this process
produces a very smooth surface but
has slow print speeds and typically a
more complicated system.
3. LCD-based stereolithography:
This system is similar in process
to No. 1 but uses more consumer
available (think smartphones) LCD
screens to deliver light to the resin.
They deliver smooth surfaces and fast
print speeds but can have more frequent repair issues and replacement
parts
Other key factors to consider
when considering choosing a dental
printer:
1. Materials and applications:
Today’s printers have the capabilities
to print almost anything that fits into
the chamber, but because dentistry is
often utilizing these applications for
in-vivo applications, it is important to
check that the materials used are biocompatible and certified functional
dental resins. Henry Schein provides
printers and materials specifically
dedicated to dentistry and its application.
2. ROI: In order for your printer to
provide you a return on the initial
and recurring cost of investment,
consider multiple applications available to make sure the printer can
grow with your expanded practice
applications.
3. Size: If the plan is to use the
printer chairside (in-office), the size
of the printer itself, along with the
accompanying materials and devices
(to wash, dry and polymerize), should
be considered to make the entire process convenient and efficient.
4. Support: Investing in a printer
designed and supported specifically
for dentistry or optimized as such will
provide you and your team continued
ease of use, confidence and convenience. Calling a manufacturer or supplier that is familiar with the dental
applications and materials makes it
much easier to troubleshoot and find
clinically- appropriate solutions.
5. Ease of use/convenience: Like
any other investment in technology,
if it isn’t easy to use, understand or
implement, it won’t be used as often
as it should. Some new innovations
in printing technology include optimized software along with a large
touchscreen and a 6-core processor (SprintRay Pro), providing an
enhanced user experience. Also,
SprintRay offers the new Pro Wash/
Dry automatic washing system, providing enhanced ease of use, speed
and convenience after printing
