DentalEZ® Group, a supplier of products and services for dental health professionals worldwide, has teamed up
with Henry Schein, one of the world’s
largest providers of health-care products and services to dental, medical and
animal health practitioners, and the Oral
Cancer Foundation in order to provide
free oral cancer screenings here at the
Chicago Midwinter.
The screenings will take place today

Volunteers from the Oral Cancer Foundation will administer the screenings
using the Identafi® oral cancer screening
device, a product of the DentalEZ Group’s
StarDental® division.
Since being selected as the exclusive
global distributor of the Identafi in late
2012, Henry Schein has made the Identafi
a core component of its Total Health™ Beyond The Mouth initiative. The Total
Health Beyond the Mouth program is
an integrated wellness and education

health and assists dental professionals
in uncovering potential systemic health
problems, including periodontal disease,
oral cancer, sleep disorders, heart disease
and diabetes.
“We are pleased with the active role
that both Henry Schein and the Oral
Cancer Foundation have assumed to
advocate for the early screening of oral
cancer,” said Rick Gross, senior product
manager for StarDental.
“By working together on initiatives
such as this, we can advance this important public health issue and communicate the exceptional benefits of our system. And what better location to further
remind and educate dental professionals
about the importance of early detection
than at the Chicago Dental Society’s Midwinter Dental Meeting?”

Saving lives daily
By Bill Dickerson
Founder and CEO of LVI
It’s well known that we in dentistry can
change people’s lives through cosmetic
or neuromuscular dentistry, building
their self-esteem or eliminating a lifetime of CMD pain.
I’ve always said we are blessed to be in
a profession that is so important, where
we can change people’s lives for the better. There are not many occupations out
there than can say that.
But what is less known is dentistry’s
ability to save people’s lives. What could
be more powerful than that? Of course,
I’m talking about treating obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA), which takes the lives
of so many people every year.
Most patients who suffer from OSA
are unaware of this condition. To make
matters worse, their physicians usually
focus on the co-morbidities they present
with, such as high blood pressure, GERD,
etc. The physician then often prescribes
cures for such co-morbidities without
looking for a root cause.

More information
For more information on LVI and its “Physiologic Approach to Dental Sleep Medicine,” go online to
www.lviglobal.com.
Also, statistics show that nearly 85 percent of physicians who are not sleep specialists do not even “screen” for OSA.
I would like to share a very personal experience with this aspect of dentistry. My
brother was OSA positive. He had gone to
a sleep physician who sent him for a PSG
and found he had an AHI of 36.4, which
became 53.3 during REM sleep.
For those of you unfamiliar with these
terms, that indicated my brother had severe obstructive sleep apnea. His lowest
O2 saturation was 71 percent. Obviously,
he was in the risk category for an early
death.
He was prescribed a CPAP, which he
hated and wasn’t wearing regularly, but
it got his AHI down to 10. However, it was
pretty much worthless if he wouldn’t use
it during sleep.
I made my brother an LVI Somnomed
(lingual-less), which he loved. But I had
Photo/Provided by LVI
him do both CPAP and the appliance for
a while. This was all done last February (a
year ago), and he reported he felt great.
Recently, he informed me he was no longer using the CPAP, just the appliance I
made him, and we scheduled him to be
retested.
His AHI was 4.8! That’s right — normal! His average O2 saturation was 95.3
percent with the lowest being 87 percent.
Making it even better is that he only slept
on his back 6.7 percent of the time, but
that amounted to an AHI of 18 percent
during these times compared to his 3.9
percent for non-supine positions (most
of the time he slept on his left side).
If he can prevent himself from sleeping
on his back, he would be even better off.
It should be noted that we took the bite
in his LVI neuromuscular position, and
he only titrated the appliance 0.8 mm
forward from that position.
For those of you who treat OSA, you
will realize this is amazing. He has no
trouble getting his teeth together after
using the appliance and is totally comfortable while using it with no adverse
symptoms.
I would encourage every dentist out
there to get involved in this area of treatment for your patients and would encourage all of you to take the “Physiologic Approach to Dental Sleep Medicine” at
LVI to learn how to do this properly. All
sleep programs are not the same.
Many of you know that our tagline at
LVI is “Changing lives daily.” We should
add, “Saving lives daily!”

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 the 48-year-old, 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.

NSK still manufactures most of the precision
parts in-house.
The company’s headquarters in Tochigi, Japan.
Here in Chicago
For more information on NSK Nakanishi and its
products, stop by the booth, No. 1243.
One of NSK’s most 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.”

rations using various Giomer materials
such as this.
BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus combines hybridlike strength and functionality, unique
handling and stackability and a flowable
delivery. Additionally, it has 15 percent
more radiopacity than enamel and offers the benefit of fluoride release and
rechargability. Those interested in seeing
the material firsthand are encouraged to
come check it out at the Shofu booth.
According to Shofu, BEAUTIFIL Flow
Plus represents the next step in the evolution of restorative materials, based on its
convenient flowable delivery system and
its physical properties and functionality
that rival leading hybrid composites.
Brian Melonakos, president of Shofu
Dental, said he has been very pleased
with the success of the product. “We’ve
always known that we have an amazing
product on our hands … but none of us
imagined how quickly it would catch on,”
he said.
Unlike other flowables, BEAUTIFIL Flow
Plus has stay-put handling and physical
properties that allow use on the occlusal
surface and marginal ridge, eliminating
the need to pack a hybrid composite on
top.
A flowable base, liner and final restorative material, BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus is
approved for all indications (Class I–V).
With a smooth, self-leveling consistency,
the material leaves a tight marginal seal
on the bottom and a smooth ready-topolish surface on top. Moreover, Shofu’s
proprietary S-PRG (surface pre-reacted
glass) technology provides sustained fluoride release and recharge that can’t be
found in any other composite material.
BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus is available in two
distinct viscosities. F00 (zero flow) offers
precision stacking, and F03 (low flow) is
an ideal base/liner.
For a limited time only, BEAUTIFIL Flow
Plus is available in two introductory kits.
The standard kit (PN 2000S) offers two
2.2-gram syringes of both viscosities in
shades A2 and A3, and the pedo kit (PN
2000P) offers two 2.2-gram syringes in
both viscosities in shades A1 and bleach
white. Both kits also contain samples of
Shofu’s top-selling products, including
the seventh-generation bonding agent
BeautiBond, One Gloss, Super Snap and
Shofu’s hybrid material, BEAUTIFIL II.
The kit retails for $102.25 (a $160 value).

The importance of
being Google-able
The domain where visibility equals increased patient volume
Here in Chicago
By David Evans, PhD, MBA
How important is Google? Important
enough that it’s now part of our daily
lexicon. We don’t search online; we
“Google it.”
From Halloween costumes to health
care, we all use the world’s dominant
search engine to locate what we need.
Just take restaurants, for example. Millions of diners turn to Google on a daily
basis to read about restaurants their
friends are talking about. And if a restaurant’s website doesn’t appear when
you search, you may wonder how good it
really is — even though, in reality, there
is no connection between the quality of
the food and the restaurant’s Internet
visibility.
Consumers use Google for everything,
not just restaurants. This includes one
of the most important aspects of their
lives: health care. In fact, according to
one report, some 84 percent of Internet
users have used the Internet to search for
health-care information in the past year,
with 52 percent searching on behalf of
loved ones.
How do they find the information
they’re looking for? Google. With 70 percent of the search market, Google dominates the search world.
In today’s digital world, prospective patients associate the quality of your practice with your visibility on Google, even
when their search began from a word-ofmouth referral. If your practice doesn’t
appear in Google’s search results for the
terms and locations you need to rank for,
you have a problem on your hands. Unfortunately, some of the nation’s most
reputable dental practices lack Google
visibility.
The good news is there are steps you
can take to improve your visibility. A
comprehensive Internet marketing strategy, consisting of a well-designed (and
programmed) practice website, a professional search engine optimization (SEO)
plan and even a simple social media approach can transform your practice from
Internet anonymity to Google standout.
Three steps to Google visibility
Here are three important steps you can
take to improve the visibility of your
practice in Google’s search results.
Step 1: The Google visibility test
This easy test should give you a good
indication of where you stand. Simply
For more information on how to increase your practice’s Internet and Google visibility, stop by the

• What about the second page?
If you have trouble finding information
on your practice in the Google results
pages, so will your potential patients.
Core terms such as the ones mentioned
above are searched by tens of thousands
of prospective patients each day. Consumers often begin their Google searches with these terms before moving on
to more complicated, location-based
searches such as “procedure New York”
or “dentist Los Angeles.” However, make
sure to look for your practice in the localbased search results as well.
Within the Google search results, there
are several ways in which to present your
practice to consumers, including your
practice website, Google business listings, pay-per-click (PPC) ads, review sites
such as Yelp and directory listings. Perhaps the most valuable tool, however, is
search engine optimization (SEO).
Step 2: Prominent contact information
While it is critical for your practice to
be highly visible on the Internet, it is
equally important that once prospective
patients get to your website or profile
listing, they find the information they
need to contact you. Your Google visibility strategies will be wasted unless you
make it easy for patients to contact you
by phone or email.
To accomplish this, your contact information needs to be displayed in a prominent location — on your website as well
as anywhere else you advertise your services. If it isn’t, make sure you do what is
needed to change this so that prospective patients are able to easily set up a
consultation.

A total tech solution
BIOLASE hands-on showcase includes new EPIC laser
BIOLASE, a leading dental laser
manufacturer and distributor — and
distributor of NewTom and 3Shape
TRIOS technologies in North America
— is showcasing its full line of awardwinning laser systems, 3-D cone-beam
devices and digital intraoral scanning
technology here at the Chicago Midwinter and at all other major and regional
2013 trade events.
The company is featuring the products
in its new Total Technology Pavilion,
a large space with functioning equipment to allow hands-on demonstrations and discussion of the full range of
applications. The pavilion also features
an overview presentation of the total
technology concept, along with brief
presentations by practicing dentists who
have deployed such technologies in their
practices.
“We are proud to present the Total
Technology Pavilion at the Chicago Midwinter and beyond,” said John Bernhard,
director of marketing at BIOLASE.
“It represents the collective efforts
of multiple teams to create an environment where dental professionals
can spend time with these groundbreaking technologies to gain an understanding of their applications in the dental

Stop by and check out the BIOLASE Total
Technology Pavilion for yourself. It can be
found at booth No. 834.
EPIC standard set for diode lasers
New to the Total Technology Pavilion
this year is the EPIC Total Diode Solution,
the newest laser from BIOLASE. It’s described by the company as being packed
with one category-exclusive feature after
another, setting a new standard in diode
laser performance and value.
A graphical touchscreen gives dentists
fingertip access to as many as 20 common soft-tissue procedure presets —
plus 20-minute full-mouth whitening
and FDA-cleared temporary pain relief.
Additionally, EPIC can be a financial
boon for many practices because of its
integrated, FDA-cleared protocols for
laser hygiene and perio as an adjunct to
scaling and root planning.
In addition, a new ComfortPulse setting reduces pulse length to as little as
one ten-millionth of a second to avoid
heat buildup at the surgical site. This
provides for fast tissue cutting with less
patient discomfort.
3Shape TRIOS digital scanner, full
range of WaterLase all-tissue lasers
Another addition to the Total Technology Pavilion is the 3Shape TRIOS digital intraoral scanner system. The TRIOS
digital solution, which includes a handheld scanner, operator’s control cart and
intuitive software, provides faster impression taking, improved accuracy and
clinical results, reduced need for retakes
and less adjustment and grinding.
According to 3Shape, TRIOS’ unique
features include spray-free scanning,
high accuracy optimized for an extensive range of indications, clinical scan
NewTom compact CBCT technology
Finally, the Total Technology Pavilion
has full-size models of NewTom ConeBeam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
technology. The technology is relatively
new to dentistry and is a more compact
version of standard medical CT imaging
that uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to
obtain a multitude of radiographs that
construct digital 3-D models of maxillofacial anatomies.
The NewTom VGi is reported by the
company to have the finest image quality of any CBCT system in dentistry, with
a minimal dose of radiation to patients.
Dentists using the NewTom CBCT technology report increased treatment plan
acceptance, improved diagnostic capabilities and other advantages, according
to the company.
A highlight of the Total Technology Pavilion is the EPIC Total Diode Solution, the newest laser
from BIOLASE.
validation, online communication with
the dental lab and intuitive Smart-Touch
user interfacing.
Other products in the pavilion include
WaterLase iPlus, WaterLase MDX and WaterLase MD Turbo, BIOLASE’s full range
of all-tissue laser devices. According to
the company, WaterLase iPlus represents
a pinnacle of 20 years of research to improve cutting speed to match that of a
high-speed drill, with a fraction of the
discomfort and ancillary challenges a
dental drill creates.
The WaterLase MDX and WaterLase MD
Turbo are described as being ideal for
practices seeking a basic, lower-cost entry point for all-tissue laser dentistry.
“Although the WaterLase MD platform
was first released in 2004, there have
been many improvements and refinements, including a more flexible fiber,
faster-cutting handpieces and more,”
said Dmitri Boutoussov, BIOLASE chief
technology officer and longtime head
of the company’s research and development department.

Connect, communicate
TRIOS Inbox and 3Shape Communicate help labs and dentists interact in the cloud
Chat forums, Skype™, video conferencing — this is an age that values its
tools for smart communication and easy
interaction. Inspired by these trends,
3Shape offers new communication solutions that bring full digital workflows between clinics and labs much closer.
Dental labs with a TRIOS® Inbox can
receive ready-for-design digital impressions directly from connected clinics —
just minutes after the dentist completes
the scan. But that’s only half of the story.
3Shape Communicate™ software, running in both labs and clinics, provides
an interactive communications platform with online exchange of case information, 3-D designs and 2-D previews
through their mutual Communicate
Cloud.
Labs and clinics connect and
communicate
3Shape’s TRIOS Inbox™ is a software
component that is integrated within

orders directly from connected dental
Ad
The typical Communicate workflow
1. The dentist sends the digital impression plus order information to the lab directly from the TRIOS interface after completing scanning.
2. The lab receives the order in its TRIOS Inbox, accepts the details and suggested delivery date or else returns its suggestions for changes.
3. The lab designs the case directly from the digital impression as specified in the agreed order information.
4. The lab sends the dentist 2-D previews, smile-previews, a digital 3-D model, questions and comments.
5. Both labs and dentists can add annotations to the 3-D view that both access through the Cloud.
6. The dentist approves the design when satisfied, and the lab can immediately start manufacturing the

clinics. With TRIOS Inbox installed, lab
technicians will see a new tab in their
Dental Manager™ interface that opens
an overview of incoming cases from connected clinics using 3Shape’s TRIOS digital impression solution.
The Communicate software is integrated in both Dental System and the
TRIOS system, enabling labs and dentists
to share case information, including 3-D
designs with annotations, screen shots
and comments. To connect, both the lab
and dentist simply create his or her own
Communicate account, and then either
one can send a request to connect. Once
accepted on the other end, setting up in
Dental System is simple and does not
involve any kind of complex network parameters or protocols.
Closing in on complete digital
workflows between clinics and labs
Once connected, the clinic and lab meet
and interact through their mutual
3Shape Communicate Cloud. In practical
terms, this means labs can provide their
client dentists with high-quality views of
design results in 3-D before the restoration is manufactured, and dentists can
send their comments back to the lab.
Labs can also use their Dental System
software to create and send realistic
before-and-after views of full smiles
that dentists can show their patients.
Both sides can continuously refer to the
complete order history, including agreements between them.
Communicate from anywhere —
also without a 3Shape TRIOS
Communication is not restricted to the
office. Both lab technicians and dentists
can use the Communicate web interface
to access the 3Shape Communicate Cloud
remotely, using their tablet PC or laptop.
This same Communicate web interface
provides a communication solution for
dentists who do not own a 3Shape TRIOS
system but still want to interact with
their lab.
Benefits for labs
Interaction enabled by the digital workflow enhances the dentist’s influence in
relation to final results, benefiting the
lab, the dentist and the patient.

Diagnose caries like never before
SOPRO, a world leader in dental video
imaging, has applied all of its technical
expertise in conjunction with scientific
and clinical researchers to develop a patented technology based on the principle
of fluorescence. The result of this effort is
a device called SOPROLIFE (light induced
florescence evaluator), an intraoral camera with high-image quality coupled with
a feature to diagnose and treat caries.
SOPROLIFE allows you to see what was
once invisible to the naked eye. It provides greater accuracy in identifying,
evaluating and determining the location
of a carious lesion with image magnification of 30 to 100 times.
SOPROLIFE offers the ability to detect
tooth decay at different stages of its

development, allowing the clinician to
determine the most effective course of
treatment. With the push of a button, the
blue LED lights are activated, and variations in the amelodentinal architecture
results in visible color changes to the
tooth’s image.
During diagnosis, the auto fluorescence technology in SOPROLIFE detects
occlusal or interproximal decay, even
in its earliest stages, which can often be
missed by X-rays.
During treatment, SOPROLIFE differentiates healthy tissue from infected tissue in order to excavate only the affected
areas.

cording to the company, will revolutionize the way dentists shape root canals.
It boasts all the features of twisted files
with 70 percent more flexibility and up to
three times as much resistance to cyclic
fatigue as compared with other NiTi files.
The Adaptive Motion relies on a patented algorithm that changes the motion depending upon the load on the file.
When the file is outside the canal, the
motion is rotary. When the file is in canal
(loaded), the motion adapts from rotary
to reciprocation.
As the company says, SybronEndo’s
Adaptive motion is, “Rotary when you
want it; reciprocation when you need it.”
The TF Adaptive uses a minimum
number of files to shape the root canal,
offering a better value for the customer.
In addition, according to the company,
it’s easy to use and well-marked, distinguished by a color-coded setup similar
to a traffic signal (green, yellow and red).
It offers dentists control and reduces the
risk of screw-in effect. The system also
can be used in a majority of cases.
The TF Adaptive system can be beneficial to patients, too, according to the
company. Its files produce less apical
extrusion of debris than do competitive
systems, granting patients a significant
decrease in postoperative discomfort. It
also reduces the probability of separation and canal transportation or straightening, preserving the natural anatomy
of the canal and decreasing the effects of
over-instrumentation.

The phenomenon: A
clinician’s perspective
The story behind
BruxZir restorations,
where they’ve come
from and where they’re
going next
By Michael C. DiTolla, DDS, FAGD
May 6, 2011, is an important day in dental history. That’s the first day dentists
prescribed more BruxZir® restorations
than PFM restorations.
At the time, BruxZir was 2 years old
and PFMs were 50 years old. Here at the
lab, it confirmed a trend we had been observing during those two years: The days
of the PFM being the dentist’s everyday
restoration were coming to a close.
The sales of BruxZir never dipped below those of the PFM again; in fact, the
gap between the two continues to grow
wider as BruxZir grows and PFMs continue to shrink.
Ten years ago, our R&D department
asked me what they should work on,
what kind of restorative material would
most benefit dentists and patients.
My answer was simple: cast gold in
shade A2.
They reminded me they were engineers, not alchemists, but I remained
undeterred in my push for a cast gold in
shade A2.
Five years later, they presented me
with BruxZir, an impressive effort at creating my request. Fast-forward five more
years to today, and it is clear they were
truly on to something big.
As the translucency and esthetics of
BruxZir continue to improve, it has transitioned from just a posterior material to
an anterior material as well, one that can
be used in almost any clinical situation.
The biggest reasons for the rapid
growth of BruxZir are high strength and
fit. As a monolithic restoration with no
porcelain on it, BruxZir has the lowest
fracture rate of any restoration (besides
cast gold) in our lab.
It’s clear that dentists place strength
very close to the top of their list of desirable characteristics for an everyday
crown and bridge material.
The most common comment we get is
about how well the BruxZir restrations
fit compared with most of the crowns
these dentists have used in the past.
Dentists notice the emergence profile
of BruxZir crowns blend with the tooth
structure and soft tissue better than
any material they have previously used
(again, with the exception being cast
gold).
Fig. 1: These illustrations show an ideal 1 mm reduction for an anterior or posterior BruxZir crown and also have feather-edge margins. BruxZir
does fine at 1.5 or 2.0 mm as well, but this amount of reduction is not always possible. By maintaining 1 mm of BruxZir thickness, this allows
you to safely adjust the crown if necessary when checking the occlusion. While BruxZir can be milled as thin as 0.5 mm, it cannot be adjusted
at this thickness without breaking at some point. With a BruxZir crown at 0.5 mm thickness with high occlusion, consider adjusting the
opposing tooth. Photos/Provided by Glidewell Laboratories
Here in Chicago
For more information or to see BruxZir for youself,
stop by the Glidewell Laboratories booth, No. 3213.
The microscopic images (Fig. 1 and
Fig. 2) demonstrate how a high-strength
monolithic material (BruxZir) has a
much better emergence profile than a bilayered crown (PFM) on an identical prep.
This combination of fit, strength and
improved esthetics has made BruxZir
the most prescribed restoration in the
lab. The final frontier for BruxZir is to be
used for veneers, and with the translucency and esthetics improving monthly,
that day is not too far off.
Indications
BruxZir Solid Zirconia is indicated for
crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays and onlays. It is an esthetic alternative to PFM
metal occlusal/lingual or full-cast restorations and ideal for restorations requiring extra durability such as crowns
under partials or screw-retained implant
crowns.
The chip-proof durability of BruxZir
restorations makes them ideal for bruxers who have broken natural teeth or previous PFM restorations. BruxZir restorations are also ideal for patients lacking
the preparation space for a PFM.
Fig. 2: This represents the typical PFM prep
we receive with a conservative feather-edge
margin. When a PFM is fabricated for this
prep, there is a bulky 1 mm margin on the
PFM that catches on the explorer. Even if the
margin is sealed, the emergence profile is
unacceptable.
Fig. 3: This represents the typical PFM prep
we receive with a BruxZir crown in place.
Because it is a monolithic crown and can be
milled to a feather edge, there is no bulk of
material, or ‘speed bump,’ at the margin.
Dentists tell us their explorer cannot detect
where the tooth ends and the BruxZir crown
begins.
Preparation requirements
• Shoulder preparation not needed;
feather edge is OK. It is a conservative
preparation similar to full-cast gold, so
any preparation with at least 0.5 mm of
occlusal space is accepted.
• Minimum occlusal reduction of 0.5
mm; 1 mm is ideal (Fig. 3).

Not all handheld
X-ray systems are
created equal
By Dr. Joel Gray
The NOMAD handheld X-ray system. Photo/Provided by Aribex
Ad
As a recent article on www.dental
-tribune.com points out, there are some
safety issues with
handheld
X-ray
units made in China and Korea and
elsewhere outside
the United States.
There are two
sources of radiaDr. Joel Gray
tion from an X-ray
system — leakage radiation from the Xray tube and scattered radiation from the
patient. The leakage radiation is minimized by placing highly absorbing material, such as lead, around the X-ray tube.
The major issue with the handheld
X-ray units is the scattered radiation —
that is, X-rays that are scattered from the
patient toward the operator.
In fact, about 20 to 30 percent of the
X-rays are scattered from the patient
toward the person holding the device.
The X-ray units from outside the United
States, which are under FDA scrutiny, do
not provide any protection from X-rays
scattered from the patient.
These systems look like a large camera you hold with both hands. There is
no shielding provided by these systems;
the user’s hands are exposed to all of the
X-rays scattered from the patient. Consequently, the user’s hands are going to receive a radiation dose that will probably
exceed the radiation-protection limits for
skin and extremities.
We evaluated one handheld X-ray unit
made in the United States (NOMAD, Aribex) and compared staff doses with those
for the same staff using conventional wallmounted systems prior to acquiring the
handheld systems (Gray et al. 2012).
This handheld system uses a proprietary shielding material around the X-ray
tube, resulting in leakage radiation levels
that are virtually immeasurable.
In addition, it has an integral leadedacrylic shield that protects the user from
radiation scattered from the patient.
The results of our study indicated the
users of the handheld X-ray system received lower radiation doses than they
did when they were using conventional
wall-mounted systems.
Buyers should be beware that not all
handheld X-ray systems are created
equal and not all of those being sold on
the web have been reviewed by the FDA.
Handheld X-ray units should have sufficient shielding to minimize leakage
radiation from the X-ray tube and an
integral shield to protect from radiation
scattered from the patient.

Sesame: Transforming
how dental practices
engage with patients
The digital age is completely changing
the way dental practices and patients
interact. The days of low-tech marketing efforts are long gone. Direct mailers,
yellow pages and other traditional forms
of dental practice marketing will not suffice. A digital strategy focused directly
on patient engagement is now imperative to grow and maintain a long-term,
sustainable practice.
There are four key outcomes that drive
a sound patient engagement strategy.
Each of these outcomes is interrelated
and work in concert to position the dental practice for sustained growth and stability.
New patient acquisition
An optimized website is the cornerstone
of a successful patient engagement
strategy. What does optimized mean? It
means your site is built based on patient
behavior and can be easily found by prospective patients within your region.
This includes content, design and search
engine optimization.
Practice loyalty
While finding prospective patients helps
offset attrition, it’s always easier to keep
a patient than acquire a new one. Sesame
Patient Login offers a secure site that
offers a comprehensive list of online
services, such as reminders, automated
calling, invoice review and online payment. This part of your strategy seeks
to deepen the relationship with patients
while reducing administrative burden
on office staff.
Increased treatment plan adoption
This same portal also provides a new
level of education and understanding
for your patients. It lets them review advanced treatment plans and helps them
articulate the benefits of the procedure
recommendations. Suddenly the dental
practice is transformed from the role of
service provider to trusted advisor — it’s
this latter role that helps patients make
the decision to invest in their oral health
and enrich their lives.
Referral acceleration
Existing patients are interacting with the
practice online and benefiting from a terrific online experience. Now it’s time to
make sure they are telling others about
it. This is where social media outlets such
as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube come
into play. They provide a window to express their satisfaction, recommend the
practice to their online friends and complete the patient acquisition circle.
Sesame Communications provides
a complete digital solution that works
across all four key outcomes and positions your dental practice for sustained
growth and success. Sesame has created
the only cloud-based platform that addresses all areas of patient relationship
management.
By creating this online “ecosystem,”

Dental Specialties
Ad
DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties has
introduced its newest innovation and an
expansion of its endodontic file system.
PROTAPER NEXT is the same variable
taper design found in the original ProTaper that clinicians have turned to for
more than a decade, but it’s been refined
to improve performance.
PROTAPER NEXT features patented
M-Wire® NiTi alloy for increased flexibility and resistance to cyclic fatigue, rectangular cross-section for greater strength
and a unique asymmetric rotary (AR)
motion.
PROTAPER NEXT uses the same trusted
rotary action as the original ProTaper.
What’s different is how the file moves
down the canal. The off-center rectangular cross-section of PROTAPER NEXT
differs from the center of mass. Only two
points of the cross-section touch the canal wall at a time, reducing the torsional
stress on the file. The result is a fully tapered and predictable shape achieved
with greater procedural efficiency.
The single-use and pre-sterilized PROTAPER NEXT files also feature shorter
handles (11 mm) and are available in 21-,
25- and 31-mm lengths.
Four sizes of color-coded and precisionmatched absorbent points, gutta-percha
points and obturators fit all PROTAPER
NEXT prepared canals.

‘Barrier protection’ critical in
dental professionals’ gloves
While caring for their patients, dental
and health care professionals are constantly exposed to bodily fluids that
may carry viruses and other infectious
agents. It is therefore critical that the
gloves these professionals use provide
the best possible barrier protection.
Many types of gloves are available today, but it is important to know that not
all gloves have the same barrier capability, depending on the type of material

used. For example, natural rubber latex
gloves have long been acknowledged for
their very effective barrier properties,
while non-latex gloves, such as vinyl
(PVC), have inferior barrier capability as
shown by numerous studies.
Other synthetic gloves, such as nitrile
and polyisoprene, perform much better
than vinyl but are more costly, especially
polyisoprene gloves. Using gloves with
inferior barrier capability could expose
both the patients and users to undesirable/harmful infections.
Malaysia is the world’s largest medical
gloves exporter (latex and nitrile). Both

quality and user’s safety are of top priority to the nation’s glove industry. To this
end, a quality certification program (the
Standard Malaysian Gloves or the SMG)
has currently been formulated for latex
examination gloves.
All SMG-certified gloves must comply
with stringent technical specifications
to ensure the gloves are high in barrier effectiveness and low in protein/
low allergy risks, in addition to providing excellent comfort, fit and durability
— qualities that manufacturers of many
synthetic gloves are attempting to replicate.
Furthermore, latex gloves are green
products, derived from a natural and
sustainable resource, and are environmentally friendly. (You can find more
at www.smg-gloves.com and www.latex
glove.info).
The use of low-protein powder-free
gloves has been demonstrated by many
independent hospital studies to vastly
reduce the incidence of latex sensitization and allergic reactions in workplaces.
More important, latex allergic individuals donning non-latex gloves can now
work alongside their co-workers wearing
the improved low-protein gloves without
any heightened allergy concern.
However, for latex-allergic individuals,
it is still important they use appropriate
non-latex gloves that provide them with
effective barrier protection, such as quality nitrile and polyisoprene gloves.
Selecting the right gloves should be
an educated consideration to enhance
safety of both patients and users. For
decades, gloves made in Malaysia have
been synonymous with quality and excellence, and they are widely available
in an extensive array of brands, features
and prices.
They can be sourced either factorydirect (www.mrepc.com/trade and click
“medical devices”) or from established
dental product distributors in the United
States.

Hiossen ETIII implants and
abutments: A coordinated
approach to esthetic restorations
By John DiPonziano, DDS, MAGD,
DICOI, CDT
In 28 years of placing and restoring implants, I have seen that three key factors
need to be present to achieve esthetic
Ad
Here in Chicago

stop by the Hiossen booth, No. 4643.
implant restorations: good implant positioning, accurate impressions and proper
abutment design. This article will focus
on abutment design and how the Hiossen ETIII abutments work in conjunction
with their implants to produce consistent esthetic results.
An abutment needs to be kept small
in diameter so as to allow good tissue
health in the critical subgingival area.
An abutment that is too large can compromise the gingival blood supply, which
leads to recession and/or an abnormal
tissue color.
From a prosthetic standpoint, a smaller
abutment allows for greater amount of
porcelain for the restoration, which optimizes esthetics.
The Hiossen ETIII system has a wide
range of stock abutments in various gingival and coronal heights and diameters.
In cementable restorations, it is crucial to
select the proper gingival height to position the crown margin no greater than 2
mm subgingival. This allows access for
cement removal and aids in the maintenance of biologic health.
A 17-degree angled abutment is available, which is ideally suited for the premaxilla area. This angled abutment is
gold in color and very narrow, which preserves gingival health and, as mentioned
above, provides ample room for porcelain (Figs. 1, 2). Zirconia stock abutments
are also available and can be customized
as needed.
In situations that call for a custom
abutment, Hiossen has a GoldCast abutment that can be waxed to the desired
shape and cast in precious metal. This
abutment is also used for one-piece,
screw-retained restorations that use an
occlusal access opening.
Another feature of the Hiossen system
that helps simplify abutment selection
is that the five regular-sized implants —
from 4 mm to 7 mm — share the same
abutment platform, and all five can use
the same abutments interchangeably.
The 3.5 mm mini implant has its own
group of abutments that are just as extensive as the regular-sized implants.
The mini implant is useful in situations
with minimal ridge width and is strong
enough to be used in posterior areas with
confidence.
Hiossen ETIII implants are designed
with built-in platform switching — the
abutment diameter is slightly smaller

than the implant diameter — and a selfsealing 11-degree Morse taper that joins
the implant to the abutment.
This hermetic sealing of the implant/
abutment interface not only eliminates
screw loosening but also prevents the
percolation of saliva and bacteria because there is no micro-movement of the
abutment in function and, therefore, no
micro-gap to entrap oral fluids (Figs. 3,4).
Studies have shown that bacterial percolation can cause bone loss at the coronal
portion of the implant where it meets the
abutment.1–4
In summary, the Hiossen ETIII Implant
System is an organized, systematic approach to esthetic implant dentistry. It is
user friendly, cost effective and provides
the clinician with a broad range of surgical and prosthetic components to meet a
wide variety of clinical situations.

making a whirring sound, the bearings
need to be changed.
The EZ Press III Repair System is the
answer to high costs and downtime associated with sending high-speed handpieces out to be repaired. Utilizing simple procedures, requiring no guesswork
and ensuring precision placement of the
bearings on the spindle, the EZ Press III

ington State Convention Center.
In addition to organizing a lineup of
world-class dental educators, a number
of social events are planned to help attendees make the most of their time in
the city.
“One of the things that sets the AACD’s
conferences apart from other meetings
is our incredible social events,” said Ron
Goodlin, AACD president.
“Being social at AACD 2013 is almost as
important as attending workshops and
lectures. Connecting with like-minded
professionals and being inspired by their
work enhances your perspective on the
field. Networking opportunities in Seattle are everywhere — and they’re a valuable part of your conference experience!”
On April 24, to kick off this year’s annual meeting, the AACD will host an
evening welcome reception at the Experience Music Project (EMP) Museum,
which is located at the base of the Seattle
Space Needle. The reception is included
in attendees’ tuition.
At the EMP, attendees will have a
chance learn about music’s impact
throughout history. The EMP will help
attendees explore musical revolutions
from jazz to blues to the birth of rock ‘n’
roll and hip-hop.
On April 25, the AACD Charitable
Foundation will host the Celebration
of Smiles fundraiser, which benefits
the AACD Charitable Foundation’s Give
Back a Smile (GBAS) program. GBAS helps
restore the smiles and lives of domestic
violence survivors through the help of

at the Tap House Grill, which is walking
distance from the Washington State Convention Center. The Tap House is a Seattle
staple that offers more than 160 beers on
tap, including local craft brews. Wine and
cocktails will also be available.
Tickets for the event can be purchased
through the AACD’s online registration
system at www.aacdconference.com.
In addition to the main events, there
are other opportunities to be social in
Seattle. The AACD hosts daily breakfasts
and lunches in the exhibit hall so attendees can re-energize and chat with others.
