Conceived in 2013, the breakfast has become an inspirational gathering of female leaders attending the CDS Midwinter Meeting, enjoying enthusiastic support from company sponsors in providing an exciting, interactive annual event. Hosted in its ninth year by Glidewell and the Dental Trade Alliance (DTA), organizers and invitees were pleased to reunite after a pandemicinduced hiatus. “We’re honored to host this year’s event and participate in the renewal of its growing tradition,” said Stephenie Goddard, CEO of Glidewell, and Amy Moorman, vice president of operations at DTA. “It’s invigorating to see and learn from so many passionate, accomplished individuals.” Despite a notable growth of women among dentist graduates, representation within the dental industry remains distinctly onesided — whether exploring practices and laboratories; manufacturing and research communities; or publications, lecture podiums and university faculties. “Women need to support each other,” said Valerie Berger, program co-founder and director of business development–dental at BroadcastMed. “Although the gender and ethnicity composition of the dental industry is changing, it remains a male-dominated profession across 5 (Photos/Provided by Glidewell Dental) Here in Chicago To learn more about WID Rise and its not-for-profit platform, stop by the Glidewell booth, No. 2618. the wide spectrum of professional positions within the industry.” WID Rise is a not-for-profit platform that supports, inspires, enriches and empowers the leadership role of women professionals in the field of dentistry. Members are committed to advancing the voice of women dental professionals and celebrating their success through education, scholarships, networking events and national recognition. Formerly known as Women in Dental Technology (WIDT), WID Rise rebranded in 2020 to reflect the organic attraction of clinical professionals to its foundational fellowship of laboratory professionals. Organizers are assembling a board of directors to continue to elevate awareness and expand their scope of positive influence.[5] => [6] => exhibitors 6 Chicago Midwinter Meeting — February 24 & 25, 2023 Introducing DS Core: How to simplify your digital dentistry workflow and transform your dental practice By Dentsply Sirona Staff n The advancement of digital dentistry has revolutionized the dental industry. Although, as the digital universe continues to expand — through new technology, tools and services — it’s understandably becoming more complex. To streamline digital dentistry, Dentsply Sirona developed DS Core, a cloud-based solution that connects your digital solutions and services on one secure, collaborative platform. All patient media in one place For many years, dental practices have been collecting and managing digital patient media in various formats, including JPEG, MP4 video, 2-D X-rays and 3-D scans. Traditionally, patient files are stored in disparate locations across multiple servers, making it difficult to access patient data efficiently and use them effectively. With DS Core, you can have a comprehensive patient media library that integrates your patient case files in one location to support all your workflows. By storing all digital media in one place, DS Core creates a singular view of a patient by automatically uploading Dentsply Sirona scans and provides the option to manually upload competitive scan data. Cloud-enabled collaboration With its embedded X-rays and scans viewer, DS Core improves communication between dentists and simplifies collaboration with specialists, partners and labs. With a click of a button, you can share patient case files and recipients can access the platform without paying or signing up for storage. Finally, collaboration with skilled partner labs is highly accessible due to DS Core Create, a design service where you can request ready-to-print files for a growing variety of indications with Primeprint, such as nightguards or models. Digital data enables constant connectivity Since the platform is accessible via web browser and requires no instal- With DS Core, you can have a comprehensive patient media library that integrates your patient case files in one location to support all your workflows.

Once you have all your digital patient records in DS Core, you essentially have a digital twin of each patient. What’s next for the digital dentistry universe With DS Core, you’ll feel empowered through excellent connectivity, high efficiency and support in providing better patient care. Dentsply Sirona digital services already power more than 650 million digitally enabled patient cases every year across a range of indications, and DS Core brings all of these services together.

With advancements in additive manufacturing, dental professionals can now produce surgical guides, splints and models quickly and cost-effectively without compromising on the quality of similar manual methods. However, while there are clear benefits, the challenge for many in adopting this technology is that 3-D printers have complex processes, and the printing and post-processing can be extremely messy and inconvenient. Dentsply Sirona’s Primeprint solution was designed to address these challenges. Launched in mid- 2022, Primeprint Solution is a highly automated, end-to-end, medical grade 3-D printing system that simplifies 3-D printing with: Automation reducing handling times and enabling delegation With RFID tagging, Primeprint automatically detects the material and washing containers without any need for contact. With the easy visual guidance on the display screen synched to the RFID tags and automation within the units, including a robotic arm moving the build plate to the respective process step, there is limited manual work besides moving the Primeprint box and removing the support structures from the printed appliances only once fully cured.

Secondary decay is the main factor for the failure of restorations.1 Giomer technology can release and recharge six different beneficial ions. Together, these ions have been clinically proven to inhibit plaque, neutralize acid and eliminate secondary decay, combining bioactive and therapeutic benefits not available in competitive products. An eight-year independent clinical study recorded a 100 percent retention rate, no secondary caries, no failures and no postoperative sensitivity. 2 As stated by Dr. Gordon Christensen, “Composites usually do not have cariostatic properties, and microbes are free to create new caries lesions in the wide-open margins Here in Chicago To check out Shofu Dental’s entire line of Giomer products and to receive the show special — buy four Giomer composites and get one free — stop by booth No. 2808. 5 (Graphic/Provided by Shofu Dental) of restorations.”3 Giomer technology protects the margin of the tooth with the release and recharge of the healthful ions, eliminating secondary decay. Giomer technology restoratives also offer picture-perfect esthetics, according to the company. The nanohybrid-sized particles provide the high level of polishability dentists have come to expect in today’s premium restorative materials. Shofu’s unique filler structure gives Giomer restoratives the light transmission and diffusion properties of dentin and enamel to blend well with surrounding dentition without the complex layering techniques required by many competitors. Shofu Dental knows that the price of bioactive and therapeutic Giomer products has to be affordable for all dentists, especially those who treat the underserved. To that goal, Giomer products are usually 30 percent less expensive than many name-brand competitors, the company asserts. Shofu invites you to try its bioactive Giomer technology products to determine whether they suit your practice and your patients.

Using custom-made football mouthguards, fabricated by his brother while attending dental school, Keating became very curious about the dental industry. When his brother became head of his senior class at the University of Southern California’s dental school, Keating was inspired to pursue a career of his own in the industry. It clearly proved to be a good decision, as he quickly rose through the ranks from waxer and metal finisher to dental ceramist until becoming the crown and bridge manager for a major laboratory. From there, the next step was logical: Start his own laboratory. Founding Keating Dental Lab in 2002, Keating emphasized diligence in all AD Shaun Keating, CDT, founded Keating Dental Lab in 2002.

By Pulpdent Staff n Pulpdent, a dental researcher and manufacturer, has announced that its patented Crysta MCP technology is available in ACTIVA Presto, the company’s universal light-cure bioactive restorative. Crysta allows ACTIVA Presto to actively promote the health of restored teeth while also meeting the highest esthetic standards of restorative dentistry — a first for dental material science. “ACTIVA Presto and Crysta have the potential to impact millions of AD patients worldwide by significantly improving the outcomes of dental restorative procedures while also meeting today’s esthetic demands,” said Pulpdent Executive Manager Lew Berk. Crysta is the trade name for methacrylate-functionalized calcium phosphate (MCP), a bioactive molecule developed over the course of six years by the Pulpdent research team. When placed in a dental composite, Crysta facilitates a hydroxyapatite bridge between tooth and composite. It also enables top-tier esthetics, which lets dentists use bioactive composites in the smile zone without compromise. “We realized that active dental materials were the future and began investing heavily in bioactive dental research more than 20 years ago,” said Pulpdent President Fred Berk. Crysta, which facilitates tooth remineralization through the transfer and precipitation of calcium, fluoride and phosphate, is the second major breakthrough by the Pulpdent research team in the realm of biointeractive dental material research. The first breakthrough came in 2013 with the release of dual-cure ACTIVA BioACTIVE-RESTORATIVE, the first durable, esthetic, bioactive restorative suitable for both dentin and enamel replacement. While ACTIVA BioACTIVERESTORATIVE continues to be widely used in posterior restorations, Crysta-containing ACTIVA Presto has multiple shades and can be freely used in the anterior and posterior. Moreover, both ACTIVA BioACTIVE-RESTORATIVE and ACTIVA Presto can be used together, giving dentists powerful new ways to restore teeth and protect patients against secondary caries. ACTIVA Presto is the first bioactive, light-cure, universal restorative. It has unique stackable handling, making it a restorative material without a peer. ACTIVA Presto also benefits from Pulpdent’s proprietary rubberized resin and moisture-friendly technology, which ensure durability and worry-free placement.

The workflow management system not only connects dentists and dental technicians, but also Amann Girrbach’s machines, processes and systems with each other. “The potentials offered by AG.Live are sensational. AG.Live simplifies collaboration in an unprecedented manner ― between the practices and the laboratories, but also between us and our customers. It has never been easier to receive advice tailored to each patient’s individual case at the touch of a button, or to access support from our service at the click of a mouse,” said Michael Rütten, director of digital products and user experience at Amann Girrbach. Managing patient cases centrally and collaborating across disciplines With AG.Live, patient cases are managed centrally in compliance with the GDPR and HIPPA and can be accessed across disciplines by all parties ― from the laboratory to the dentist. This makes coordination among each other far easier: for example, in the case of special circumstances or anomalies, the users involved can exchange information with each other directly on the platform, including the necessary files. Splitting or outsourcing work is also simplified. “For example, the design of a restoration can be performed by the dental laboratory via our Ceramill design software and subsequently taken over directly by the dentist,” Rütten said. AG.Live offers a 100 percent integrated, seamless workflow from A to Z and, in addition to considerable savings in time and costs, provides a secure, validated workflow above all else. “It is also important for us to give users the option of being able to integrate third-party products such as intraoral scanners from other manu- The AG.Live cloud platform not only connects dentists and dental technicians but also Amann Girrbach’s machines, processes and systems with each other.

AG.Live therefore offers all the advantages of an open workflow for commissioning work, such as creating the design of the restoration, right through to assigning complete fabrication while at the same time offering maximum security due to our comprehensive process validation, thus making it easy to use and compatible,” he said. Status messages directly to the mobile phone From material management to software updates to support tickets, connecting Ceramill machines to AG.Live provides numerous benefits. AG.Live also offers numerous simplifications in terms of machine main- tenance or service. By connecting the Amann Girrbach Ceramill machines to AG.Live, it is easy to obtain an update on the status of the machines as well as the processed orders — from any location and at any time. Information, warnings or error messages are reported directly to the stored telephone number. “These messages are a feature that provides additional freedom and safety, especially when the machines are working in automated mode — no matter where the user is at the time, be it in the laboratory or on the couch at home.” said Rütten.
