The new
and true
New-and-improved melds with
tried-and-true at CDA Presents
By Robert Selleck, Dental Tribune
N
ew technology, new methods
and new products captured
the attention of CDA Presents
attendees throughout the day
Thursday, with much more of the same
highlighting the agenda today.
A number of companies are using the
CDA Presents exhibit hall to display
the newest versions of their “tried-andtrue” products, while others are getting
the word out on just-launched efforts.
A stroll through the aisles on Thursday
quickly revealed a variety of offerings in
the “new-and/or-improved” category.
In booth No. 1941, you can visit with
Keith Allen, president of OralWise and
inventor of GumChucks, a flossing tool
with a name inspired by the device’s
design similarity to a miniature set of
martial arts nunchucks. Created to make
flossing easier and more fun for children,
the product was released to that market in October, but it quickly captured
an adult following, so prototypes for an
adult version are already on display in
the booth.
There’s also an ortho model with a
unique tip that enables users to easily
floss on both sides of a full bracket.

CDA files legal action against Delta Dental of California
CDA President Lindsey Robinson, DDS
Photo/Provided by CDA
On behalf of its members, the California Dental Association — along with several individual dentist providers — has
taken legal action against Delta Dental
of California by filing a demand for binding arbitration in response to Delta’s notice dated Aug. 1, informing providers of
changes to key provisions in their agreements.
According to the CDA, Delta is unilaterally attempting to change two significant
provisions of providers’ agreements.
The first restricts dentists’ ability to use
arbitration to challenge Delta’s actions,
and the second eliminates the current
requirement that Delta provide justifi-
cation for changing its reimbursement
fees. Both are key provisions that have
been in participating dentist agreements
for many years, the CDA said.
Delta has provided no explanation for
its attempt to delete them now, although
it appears to precede the anticipated action by Delta to reduce fees without justification by the end of this year, according
to the CDA.
“CDA is committed to supporting our
members in their practices and the patients they serve,” said CDA President
Lindsey Robinson, DDS. “Delta’s unilateral attempt to change key provisions of
its contracts would allow Delta to aban-
don its responsibility for justifying its
payments to contracted providers. This
move toward non-transparency appears
to be motivated by Delta’s desire for financial gain, not to improve patient coverage or care. It leaves us with no choice
but to seek a legal remedy.”
CDA said that it is taking this legal action to ensure that Delta will honor its
current contracts with dentists and continue to be required to justify reducing
fees in the future.
“Delta’s move to modify the contracts
it has with providers appears to fly in

“ CDA, Page 1
the face of good faith and fair dealing,”
said CDA Vice President Walt Weber, DDS,
chairman of the CDA Dental Benefits Research Task Force. “CDA absolutely questions whether, once Delta provides the
information required by the contracts,
fee reductions would be justified.”
Statement from Delta Dental
of California
When contacted by Dental Tribune, a representative from Delta Dental of California offered a response.
“Delta Dental of California recently notified its 23,172 participating dentists of
some revisions to the company’s bylaws,
participating dentist rules and policies
and procedures,” the statement from
Delta read. “This notice was sent as required by law, and all changes described
in the notification were approved in ad-
vance by California regulators. Despite
obtaining regulatory approval, we were
notified on Aug. 14, 2013, that the California Dental Association (CDA) is taking
legal action to prevent these revisions
from taking effect.”
“While we cannot comment on the specific issues mentioned in the complaint
filed, we are disappointed that the CDA is
pursuing this course of action. Delta Dental’s intent is to provide the best and most
affordable dental benefit programs possible for its 15,000 California business and
government customers, which serve 18
million people in California,” Delta said.
“Delta Dental is committed to acting in
the long-term best interests that balance
the needs of all its stakeholders, including enrollees, client groups and dentists,
and the changes we proposed are necessary to ensure that we can continue to
deliver quality dental programs at an affordable price,” the statement said.
More information available
Because of the 2012 CDA-sponsored law
requiring dental plans to provide 45 business days’ notice of any provider agreement changes, Delta’s recently proposed
changes cannot take effect until Oct. 4
at the earliest, allowing time for dentists
to review how these changes will affect
their practices.
“We have done significant analysis of
this issue, and we take very seriously the
concerns of our members regarding dental benefit plan issues,” Weber said.
CDA members seeking more information or expressing an interest in participating in the litigation can contact Jan
Katerkamp at (916) 554-4913 or jan.kater
kamp@cda.org. Additional information
about the litigation is available on the
CDA website, www.da.org.

GlasIonomer FX-II
Capsule: A new
glass ionomer
restorative
Photo/Provided
by Shofu Dental
Visit booth No. 1726 for a
firsthand demonstration
By Shofu Dental staff
Ad
Shofu Dental is announcing the launch
of its new direct restorative GlasIonomer
FX-II Capsule. Those interested in seeing the material are encouraged to visit
booth No. 1726 for a firsthand product
demonstration.
The GlasIonomer FX-II Capsule is an esthetic, all-purpose, glass ionomer cement
for direct restoration, designed for minimally invasive dentistry.
As a restoration, the material is shown
to have superior levels of fluoride
release/rechargability and compressive/
tensile strength in comparison to other
leading glass ionomers, making it ideal
for high caries pediatric and geriatric patients.
In addition, adhesion to enamel and
dentin is consistently stable at equal levels, creating a stronger marginal seal. The
restoration experiences far less strain
because of the adhesive strength, and
the thermal expansion properties are
very similar to natural teeth. The new
GlasIonomer FX-II Capsule also displays
with high radiopacity.
The application benefits of GlasIonomer FX-II are equally noteworthy. One
key benefit is that there is no conditioner
required for this material, resulting in
faster application time. Simply prepare
the cavity using the conventional method, mix the capsule for 10 seconds and
apply. The net setting time is two minutes and 30 seconds.
The combination of a fast-setting time
and no-conditioning requirement greatly reduces valuable working time and
allows clinicians to see more patients
within a day.
Unlike many other glass ionomer restoratives, the new GlasIonomer FX II
Capsule demonstrates excellent handling and packability. Indications for
use include non-load bearing C I and
C II restorations in permanent dentition, restorations of C III and C V cavities
and wedge-shaped defects, pediatric/
geriatric restorations and core build-up
and base/liner material.
Offered in shades A2, A3, A3.5 and B2,
the material is simultaneously translucent and opaque, creating an esthetic
appeal and beautiful shade-matching
abilities.
Shofu Dental’s GlasIonomer FX-II Capsule is an overall stronger, more durable
and highly therapeutic, minimally invasive restorative. It can be purchased for
$4.54 a capsule, packaged in a kit of 50
with a total cost of $227.70.

Clinical performance report for
BruxZir Solid Zirconia Crowns and
Bridges during an 18-month period
Purpose
Clinical evaluation protocol
Placement
The purpose of this clinical study, conducted by The Dental Advisor, was to
determine the clinical performance of
BruxZir® Solid Zirconia Crowns and
Bridges (Glidewell Dental Laboratories; Newport Beach, Calif.) during an
18-month period.
At recall time, more than 390 fullcontour, monolithic BruxZir restorations
(crowns and bridges) were placed. All
restorations were fabricated at Glidewell
Dental Laboratories. Most of the restorations were cemented with self-adhesive
resin cement or adhesive resin cement.
The following parameters were evaluated at placement: esthetics, marginal
accuracy, fit, interproximal contacts and
occlusion.
Restorations were evaluated on a 1-5 rating scale: 1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, 4 =
very good, 5 = excellent.

Here in San Francisco
To view the full report, visit www.bruxzir.com. For
more information or to check out BruxZir Solid Zirconia Crowns and Bridges, stop by the Glidewell
Laboratories booth, No. 1328.
Esthetics, marginal accuracy, fit and
interproximal contacts of more than 96
percent of the restorations were rated
excellent at placement. Very few restorations (less than 2 percent) had to be
remade because of improper fit. A few
restorations had light interproximal contacts and had to be remade.
For the category of occlusion, 84 percent of the restorations received an excellent rating. In many cases, the occlusion was light, and in some cases, the
restoration was out of occlusion. Based
on customer feedback, Glidewell Dental
Laboratories designs most of its crowns
light in occlusion.
Results at 18 months
In December 2012, 367 BruxZir restorations were recalled and evaluated.
Of the 367 BruxZir restorations observed at recall (Fig. 1), there were:
• 287 posterior single crowns
• 36 units: 12 three-unit bridges
• 24 units: Six four-unit bridges
• 10 units: Two five-unit bridges
• One three-unit inlay bridge
• Seven implant crowns
Of the 367 restorations, 121 (33 percent)
had been in function for 18 months,
while 246 (67 percent) had been in function for one year (Fig. 2).
The recalled BruxZir restorations were
evaluated in the following categories:
• Resistance to fracture or chipping
• Esthetics
• Resistance to marginal discoloration
• Wear on zirconia and opposing dentition
• Retention
Restorations were evaluated on a 1-5
rating scale: 1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, 4 =
very good, 5 = excellent.

Handpiece manufacturer
aims for global leadership
TOKYO, Japan — It is no secret that
the years since the global financial crisis
have not been very kind to companies in
Japan. First, the recession slowed business investments significantly down,
then the negative effects of the 2011
tsunami and the massive destruction
it wrought almost brought the world’s
third largest economy to a halt.
For NSK, one of the country’s largest
dental manufacturers, troubles in the
home market are its least concern because the company conducts most of its
business elsewhere.
According to President and CEO Eiichi
Nakanishi, with whom Dental Tribune
International had the opportunity to
speak at the company’s headquarters
in Tochigi, more than 80 percent of the
company’s revenues are now generated
by its operations outside of Japan.
In the last three years, NSK has been
performing particularly well in mature markets such as Europe and North
America, where it boosted its presence
with the opening of its new headquarters near Chicago, despite unfavorable
conditions such as high market saturation and the ongoing decline of the yen
against the dollar.
Since 2009, Nakanishi has also seen
his company regaining its former market shares in Asia through centralized
distribution and after-sales support offered by its new subsidiary in Singapore.
Another significant contributor has
been NSK’s European office in Germany,
which accounted for almost one third of
the 22.2 billion yen ($278 million) in sales
the company reported in 2011.
“That is why economic conditions in
our home market have little or no impact on our overall business. We really
think globally,” Nakanishi explained.
According to Nakanishi, who has run
the company since 2000, one of the
major reasons for NSK’s strong market
position, even in established markets, is
its dedication to innovation and quality,
combined with the excellent after-sales
service it is able to provide to customers
in almost every country except North
Korea. But this hasn’t always been the
case.
Founded in the 1930s, the company
had a rough start and operations were
completely halted during World War II.
Since the production of dental handpieces resumed in 1951, however, the
company has grown extensively and
now employs more than 700 people in
its Japanese offices in Tochigi and Tokyo.
NSK also still produces most of the
precision parts in-house, which, according to Nakanishi, is one of the reasons
that dentists now identify the company
with high-quality products.
“We employ many good engineers and
marketing people who help us to constantly improve our brand and make it
more attractive to dentists,” he said.

parts in-house.

Here in San Francisco
For more information on NSK Nakanishi and its
products, stop by the booth, No. 1141.
One of NSK’s more recent innovations,
which was launched at IDS in Cologne
in 2011, for example, is the Ti-Max Z series, a durable premium handpiece that
is purported to have the smallest heads
and necks in the industry, as well as an
exceptionally low noise level and virtually no vibration.
The Surgic Pro surgical micromotor
has also received much interest, particularly by dental implant surgeons. This
device is distributed alongside implant
systems by major implant manufacturers.
NSK asserts it pays close attention to
the needs of its customers, a philosophy
that has resulted in products such as the
S-max pico, which was developed solely
for the treatment of patients with smaller mouths, such as children.
Moving into other markets is conceiv-
able but unlikely to happen anytime
soon, according to Nakanishi. Even
though his company has begun to enter new areas in the last decade with the
launch of instruments such as ultrasonic scalers and polishers, its core business
will remain dental handpieces and other
small-motor equipment.
“When it comes to handpieces, we have
produced more innovations than our
competitors,” Nakanishi said. “Our goal
is to become the No. 1 company worldwide in this segment.”

Tech-savvy patients
appreciate i-CAT
FLX technology
By Imaging Sciences International
staff
For procedures such as implants, endodontics and orthodontics, having the
right technology can make a world (wide
web) of difference. With the public’s increasing use of computers, finding the
name of a dentist on the Internet is relatively simple.
However, with a wealth of knowledge
at their fingertips, potential patients are
looking for more than just a name and
location close to their home.
Many patients are interested to discover if the clinician is using technology
that will lead to a more exact diagnosis and effective treatment plan. When
they find the practice has invested in an
i-CAT® FLX cone-beam 3-D imaging system that offers the benefits of 3-D scans
with lower radiation dose, their search
for comprehensive treatment will be
complete.
Dentists who have implemented 3-D
technology can share the highly visual
scans with their patients for better understanding about the reasons for treatment. With i-CAT FLX Visual iQuity™
image technology that provides i-CAT’s
clearest 3-D and 2-D images, clinicians
can show patients scans of their own
teeth, roots and bone.
Many patients appreciate that such
details visible on 3-D scans can help to
possibly avoid surgery. The dentist can
diagnose more succinctly, plan more efficiently and have more confidence in the
successful completion of the treatment
plans for procedures such as implants,
root canals, and tooth movement.
Besides the ability to view the dentition in three dimensions, with i-CAT®
FLX, patients have the added benefit of
lower radiation. The QuickScan+ feature allows for a full-dentition 3-D scan
at a lower dose than a panoramic image,
and the SmartScan STUDIO touchscreen
interface and integrated acquisition system gives the clinician the opportunity
to select the appropriate scan for each
patient at the lowest acceptable radiation
dose.*
Customized scanning options give
greater control of the field-of-view, dose,
and resolution.
With i-CAT FLX, clinicians do not need
to compromise between image quality
and patient safety. They can achieve all
of the advantages of 3-D imaging with
lower radiation exposure.
i-CAT’s CBCT technology is also compatible with the latest in CAD/CAM programs in robotics and guided surgery
that result in less invasive and more predictable treatment.
Visit the i-CAT booth (No. 2216) here
at the CDA to see the latest in awardwinning technology, the i-CAT FLX.

crown and bridge procedures is a growing trend being adopted by more dental
professionals.
A new addition
Centrix, a dental products manufacturer, continues its mission to “make
dentistry easier.” Centrix is a key leader
in the cordless gingival retraction arena
with products that are minimally invasive and tissue-friendly, according to the
company. Starting several years ago, with
its launch of the first silicone VPS cordless gingival retraction product, called
GingiTrac™, Centrix captured a piece of
the retraction market. In 2012, Centrix
then launched a kaolin clay-based gingival retraction paste called Access® Edge,
which is sold in a single-use, unit-dose
Centrix syringe delivery tip.
Now, in 2013, Centrix announces the
newest addition to its cordless gingival
retraction family: Access®FLO, a more
flowable kaolin clay-based gingival retraction paste in a single-use, unit-dose
Centrix syringe delivery tip.
An ideal gingival retraction
solution?
AccessFLO is a flowable clay-based gingival retraction paste for use prior to
all crown and bridge impression procedures. Minimally invasive and tissue friendly, AccessFLO allows for quick
and easy tissue displacement without
the need for packing cord. Alternately,
AccessFLO can be used in conjunction
with packing cord, acting as a second cord.
Available in single-use, unit-dose
Centrix syringe tips, AccessFLO can
save time while eliminating crosscontamination, according to the company. The built-in combined dual action of
15 percent aluminum chloride hemostatic agent and kaolin clay help to control
bleeding and seepage of sulcular fluids.
When it comes to cleanup, AccessFLO is
easily rinsed out and removed with water spray and a vacuum after a minimum
of only two minutes.
With AccessFLO, you can also achieve
improved gingival retraction for more
clearly defined margins by incorporating Centrix GingiCaps™, which utilize
patient bite-down pressure to push
AccessFLO into the sulcus.
In addition, AccessFLO comes in a convenient storage package, so you never
have to worry about the material drying
out.

In the Orascoptic booth, No. 1802, a
steady stream of visitors was trying out
the XV1, described as the world’s first
wireless loupe and headlight in one.
Booth visitors wearing and using the device seemed consistently surprised with
how light and comfortable it is.
The newly designed Aribex NOMAD
Pro 2, now available in black, was frequently being picked up and handled by
visitors to booth No. 2201. With its latest
improvements, the device is being described as more durable, more reliable —
and able to hold a longer battery charge.
Interestingly, some of the biggest orders
for the black version are from the U.S.
Army.
DoWell Dental Products, in booth No.
1042, has a wide variety of new and improved products on display, including a
number of drills and burs with special
show pricing. It also has a new bone mill
table (designed for table use but also able
to be operated in the user’s hand).
The folks at Centrix have their new
AccessFLO on display, front and center
in booth No. 1609. The cordless gingival
retraction system features a Snap-Fit syringe with single-use, unit-dose delivery
tips.
During CDA Presents, Centrix is offering a “buy-three-get-one-free” incentive
on this and other syringes and composites. The offer also includes free shipping.
With more than 375 exhibitors in the
exhibit hall, there are plenty of other opportunities to discover new, improved
and tried-and-true offerings in every
aisle.
The exhibit hall is open again today
from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday
from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Of course, it’s not just the exhibit hall
featuring the dental profession’s latest
advancements and information. The
workshops and lectures represent the
core of CDA Presents, and this year’s selection is filled with top-name presenters
and diverse collection of topics.
Just a few of today’s highlights include:
