A crowd of products
By Sierra Rendon, Dental Tribune
I
f you’ve been looking for new products and innovative solutions to
present to your patients, you’ve
come to the right place.
CDA Presents has filled the Anaheim
Convention Center with more than 570
exhibitors, who have all come here to
share with you new ways to help your
patients.
Touring the many aisles of CDA Presents, you’ll find a bevy of products meant
to bring patients to your door. Here is a
sampling of those kinds of products.
• GumChucks for flossing: Every dentist looks for ways to get more patients
to floss on a regular basis, and the new
GumChucks is a way to help children
enjoy flossing at an early age, so that one
day they will become flossing adults.
GumChucks, resembling miniature nun
chucks, are easier and faster to use than
regular floss and easy to use for those
with limited dexterity. Stop by the company’s booth, No. 2452, to get a demonstration on the new flossing system.
CDA attendees can visit more than 570 exhibitors offering a bevy of products and technologies here at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Breakfast with
Curve Dental
By Fred Michmershuizen
Dental Tribune
The affable folks from Curve Dental,
one of the industry’s most innovative
practice management software providers, invited customers and potential customers to an alfresco breakfast reception
Friday morning.
On the menu, besides generous helpings of scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, was information about Curve’s
web-based practice management system

For more information on the Las Vegas Institute for
Advanced Dental Studies, visit www.lviglobal.com.
Welcome to the CDA Presents the Art
and Science of Dentistry, and congratulations on actively moving your understanding and professional success
forward! It is only through excellent education that we individually grow and develop as dental health professionals and,
through that, build a practice that is not
just successful but delivers comprehensive and high-quality care.
As a patient, I expect the best care I can
find. As a dentist, I want to deliver the
best care possible. That takes us to the
power of continuing education and, as
dentists, we are faced with many choices
in continuing education.
As a way to introduce you to the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, or LVI, I want to outline what LVI is
about and what void it fills in your practice. The alumni who have completed
programs at LVI were given an independent survey, and unlike the typical surveys of dentists, 99.7 percent love being
a dentist, and of those surveyed, 92 percent enjoy their profession more since
they started their training at LVI. That
alone is reason enough to go to LVI and
find out more.
While the programs at LVI cover the
full breadth of dentistry, the most powerful and life-changing program is
generally reported as being Core I, or
“Advanced Functional Dentistry — The
Power of Physiologic Based Occlusion.”
It is a three-day course that is designed
for clinicians and their teams to learn
together about the power of getting their
patients’ physiology on their side.
In this program, clinicians can learn
how to start the process of taking control of their practice and start to enjoy
the full benefits of owning a practice
and providing high-quality dentistry.
Regardless of whether it is a solo practice
or a group setting, every dentist can start
the process of creating comprehensive
care experiences for their patients.
We will discuss why some cases that
dentists are asked to do by their patients
are actually dangerous cases to restore
cosmetically. We will discover the developmental science behind how unattractive smiles evolve and what cases may
need the help of auxiliary health-care
professionals to get the patient feeling
better.
The impact of musculoskeletal signs
and symptoms will be explored, and
we will look at how the supporting soft
tissue is the most important diagnostic
tool you have — not simply the gingiva
but the entire soft-tissue support of the
structures and not just in the mouth but
also in the rest of the body.
A successful restorative practice should
not be built on insurance reimbursement schedules. An independent business should stand not on the whims and
distractions of a fee schedule but rather
on the ideal benefits of comprehensive
care balance by the patients’ needs and
desires.
Dentistry can be a challenging and
thankless business, but it doesn’t have to
be. Through complete and comprehensive diagnosis, there is an amazing world
of thank yous and hugs and tears that
our patients bring to us when we change
their lives.
The Core I program at LVI is the first
step on that journey. That’s why when
Provided by LVI
you call, we answer the phone: “LVI,
where lives are changing daily!”

Implant position
in the esthetic zone
By Siamak Abai, DDS, MMedSc
Since the advent of modern root form
osseointegrated implant dentistry in
1952, clinicians have strived for improvements in implant positioning in the esthetic zone to achieve predictable restorative and esthetic results.
Years of clinical experience in congruence with controlled clinical studies have helped establish parameters as
a guide for these results. Establishing a
treatment plan and clinical protocol prior to implant placement is paramount.
Treatment planning traditionally begins with comprehensive medical and
dental evaluations, articulated diagnostic casts, radiographs, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and
a diagnostic wax-up. Patient demands
must be taken into consideration prior to
surgery, and pre-surgical mockups may
be necessary to convey the information
to the patient.
The advancement of CBCT technology
has led dentistry into a new realm of
dimensional accuracy. In combination
with the use of a surgical or guided stent,
proper 3-D positioning of an implant has
led to more accurate clinical results.
The importance of the implant position can be manifested in the four
dimensionally sensitive positioning
criteria: mesiodistal, labiolingual and
apico-coronal location, as well as implant angulation.1 The ultimate goal is
not only to avoid sensitive structures,
but to respect the established biological
principles to achieve esthetic results.
Mesiodistal criteria
Correct implant position in a mesiodistal
orientation allows the clinician to avoid
damaging adjacent critical structures. A
minimum distance of 1.5 mm between
implant and existing dentition prevents
damage to the adjacent teeth and provides proper osseointegration and gingival contours2–4 (Fig. 1a).
Distances of less than 3 mm between
two adjacent implants leads to increased
bone loss and can reduce the height of
the inter-implant bone crest. A distance
of more than 3 mm between two adjacent implants preserves the bone, giving
a better chance of proper interproximal
papillary height (Fig. 1b).
Labiolingual criteria
An implant placed too far labially can
cause bone dehiscence and gingival recession while an implant placed too far
lingually can cause prosthetic difficulties. A thickness of 1.8 mm of labial bone
is critical in maintaining an implant
soft-tissue profile5 (Fig. 2).
Labially oriented implants compromise the subgingival emergence profile

Replacement Solution, stop by the Glidewell Laboratories booth, No. 1348.
development, creating long crowns and
misalignment of the collar with respect
to the adjacent teeth.6
Apico-coronal criteria
Peri-implant crestal bone stability plays
a critical role in the presence of interdental papilla.7 Implants placed too shallow
may reveal the metal collar of the implant through the gingiva. Countersinking implants below the level of the crestal bone may give prosthetic advantages
but can lead to crestal bone loss.
The ideal solution would be the placement of an implant equicrestal or subcrestal to the ridge. However, the existing
microgap at the implant abutment junction leads to bone resorption because of
peri-implant inflammation.8 It is suggested an implant collar be located 2 mm
apical to the CEJ of an adjacent tooth if no
gingival recession is present9 (Fig. 3).

two adjacent implants.

Implant angulation
Implant angulation is particularly important in treatment planning for screwretained restorations. Implants angled too
far labially compromise the placement
of the restorative screw while implants
angled too far lingually can result in unhygienic and unesthetic prosthetic design.
For every millimeter of lingual inclination, the implant should be placed an additional millimeter apically to create an
optimal emergence profile.10 In general,
implant angulation should mimic angulation of adjacent teeth (Fig. 4). Furthermore, maxillary anterior regions require
a subtle palatal angulation to increase
labial soft-tissue bulk.11

The Inclusive® Tooth Replacement Solution was developed by Glidewell Laboratories as a complete, prosthetically
driven method of restoring missing
dentition. The solution is composed of
treatment planning, implant placement,
patient-specific temporization and the
definitive restoration (Figs. 5a–5f).

A faster way to seal
For decades, dentists and hygienists
have had no alternative but to use harsh
phosphoric acid etching to improve the
bondability of dental sealants to enamel. In doing so, they have lost countless
hours to applying acids, waiting, rinsing
and drying.
With all these added steps, perhaps the
greater issue is how many failures have
resulted from trying to shortcut procedures? Indeed, working with phosphoric
acid is always a double-edged sword. If
not left on long enough, one risks failure;
leave it on too long and healthy enamel
is eroded.
Thanks to advances in adhesive technology and a new pit and fissure sealant
from Shofu, dental professionals don’t
have to choose between a secure bond
and lost time and preservation of tooth
structure anymore.
BeautiSealant from Shofu is a faster,
easier and gentler pit and fissure sealant
system that completely eliminates the
need for phosphoric acid etch and rinse
steps, while still maintaining equivalent
bond strengths to acid etched competitors.
Considering these steps represent a 40
percent to 60 percent reduction in working time, that extra productivity can go a
long way toward keeping a practice profitable. In these difficult economic times,
every liberated minute counts.
Fast application
The instructions for BeautiSealant are
simple:
• Apply the primer to a clean tooth and
leave for five seconds.
• Air-dry five seconds.
• Apply the sealant.
• Light-cure 10 seconds LED (20 seconds halogen).

shear bond strengths remain at levels
that meet or exceed market-leading sealants at 19.5 MPa.
Smooth application
BeautiSealant Sealant is an easy-to-apply
sealant, optimized for smooth, bubblefree consistency. Achieve precise delivery without the common issue of overfilling with a specially designed no-ooze
syringe and a tiny 0.27 gauge needle tip.
This improved control over the flowability of the sealant allows placement of just
the right amount of material, reducing
the common occurrence of overfilling.
Secure bond, gentle on enamel
Sustained remineralization from
giomer fillers
BeautiSealant Primer contains dualadhesive monomers (carboxylic and
phosphonic acid) that thoroughly penetrate and prepare pits and fissures for
bonding to the sealant, forming a chemical bond to calcium in the enamel. Unlike traditional sealants, which require
phosphoric acid etching, severely demineralizing and dehydrating healthy teeth,
Shofu’s self-etching primer is significantly less acidic, helping to preserve healthy
tooth structure.
Despite this lack of acid etch and rinse
steps and a HEMA-free composition,
Shofu’s
proprietary
Surface
PreReacted Glass (S-PRG) filler particles are
not only pre-charged with fluoride during manufacturing, they also recharge
when fluoride concentrations in the
mouth are high.
Simply put, household dental hygiene
products, such as fluoridated toothpaste,
allow BeautiSealant to provide sustained
remineralization benefits to adjacent
tooth structure over the life of the sealant.
In addition to fluoride, S-PRG filler also
releases five other ions: sodium, stron-

best interest have been MDT’s driving
forces since the beginning. As a result,
the LANAP® protocol is a real-world
clinical protocol, time tested during 21

• Clear aligner therapy: Clear aligners
provide a discreet alternative to metal
braces, offering the benefits of straight

practically invisible, and they’re removable, so it’s much easier for patients to
