Helping kids to smile
DENTAL TRIBUNE

Henry Schein, supplier partners donate products and services to ADA’s ‘Give Kids A Smile’
Henry Schein, the largest provider of
health-care products and services to
office-based practitioners, and its supplier partners joined with the American
Dental Association (ADA), Colgate-Palmolive and DEXIS to sponsor the 10th
annual ADA “Give Kids A Smile Day.” In
celebration of a decade of success for the
“Give Kids A Smile” program, Stanley M.
Bergman, chairman and chief executive
officer of Henry Schein, opened the NASDAQ Stock Market on Feb. 3.
Henry Schein Dental, the U.S. dental
division of Henry Schein, serves as the
exclusive professional product sponsor of “Give Kids A Smile Day.” With the
participation of 29 supplier partners,
the company was once again able to support oral health-care screenings for more
than 400,000 children throughout the
United States.
Nationwide, almost 40,000 dental
team volunteers, including more than
10,000 dentists, participated in events
held in 1,600 locations. During the past
decade, Henry Schein and its supplier
partners have donated products and services valued at more than $11 million to
the program. These supplies and prod-

ucts have supported the hundreds of
millions of dollars of work done by dentists to help 4.5 million children.
According to the American Academy of
Pediatric Dentistry, tooth decay affects
children in the United States more than
any other chronic infectious disease,
including asthma, early-childhood obesity and diabetes. Untreated tooth decay
causes pain and infections that may lead
to problems in eating, speaking, playing
and learning.
What’s more, according to the ADA,
children living in poverty suffer twice as
much tooth decay as their more affluent
peers, and their disease is more likely to
go untreated. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that
oral health disparities exist for many racial and ethnic groups, but are most pronounced in children ages 2 to 4 and 6 to 8
who are of Mexican American and black,
non-Hispanic descent. A disproportionate share of tooth decay, about 80 percent, is found in 25 percent of children.
“Each year, we marvel at the commitment and dedication of every segment of the dental community in this
quintessential example of the power of
public-private partnership,” Bergman
said. “With this year’s ‘Give Kids A Smile’
events around the country, we once
again underscore the seriousness of the
silent epidemic of cavities in children
and the importance of proper oral health
to prevent oral disease in at-risk children.
Together, we can help ‘Give Kids A Smile’
fulfill its mission of eliminating cavities
in U.S. 5-year-olds by 2020.”
In an effort to combat this epidemic,
the ADA expanded the “Give Kids A
Smile” program, which began as a singleday event, into a year-round effort to increase access to oral care for underserved
and at-risk children.
“The tremendous success of ‘Give Kids
A Smile’ during the past decade is a testament to the deep commitment of our
membership and the dental industry to
confront the critical issue of access to oral
care for underserved and at-risk children
in the United States,” said Dr. William R.
Calnon, president of the American Dental Association, himself a volunteer in
the program. “The ADA is grateful for the
strong support of Henry Schein, DEXIS
and Colgate-Palmolive, as well as our
many other industry partners, in helping ‘Give Kids A Smile’ provide oral care
for 400,000 children in need this year.”
During 2011, the “Give Kids A Smile”
program expanded when the ADA, 3M
ESPE and Henry Schein hosted a free
oral health-screening event on Oct. 15
for young NASCAR fans at the Charlotte
Motor Speedway’s “Kid Zone” during the
NASCAR Charlotte Race Weekend. In addition to oral health screening, treatment
and education for underserved children,
the festivities featured a visit from NASCAR star Greg Biffle, driver of the No. 16
3M Ford Fusion, whose car and uniform
sported the “Give Kids A Smile,” 3M ESPE
and Henry Schein Cares logos during the
Charlotte Bank of America 500 Race.
3M ESPE presented the hood of the
NASCAR car to Calnon during the opening of the NASDAQ stock market Feb. 3.
In April, the ADA, 3M ESPE and Henry
Schein will again team up to provide oral
care and education to underserved children at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
400 at the Richmond International Raceway in Virginia.
“We’re proud to help support the great
work of the ADA and Henry Schein on the
‘Give Kids A Smile’ program and bring
new awareness for this important cause,”
said Mark Gates, vice president, U.S.
sales and marketing, 3M ESPE division.
“As a new father, Greg Biffle is a terrific
ambassador to help share the message
about improving dental health for children in need. And 3M ESPE is committed
to building ‘Give Kids A Smile’ into an
even more dynamic, robust program to
serve many more children in the years
to come.”

Saving lives every day
By Bill Dickerson, DDS, LVIM
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 focus on the
co-morbidities they present with, such
as high blood pressure, GERD, etc. The
physician then prescribes cures for such
co-morbidities without looking for a root
cause. 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 exAd

perience 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. 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 because he
wouldn’t use it during sleep.
I made my brother an LVI Somnomed
(lingualless), which he loved. But I had
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.
Photo/Provided
by LVI
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 that is amazing. He has no trouble
getting his teeth together after using the
appliance and is totally comfortable 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!”

NuSmile crowns: a ‘gold
standard’ for pediatric patients
By Kristine Colker and Sierra Rendon
Dental Tribune
Dr. Michael Ignelzi Jr. has had success with
NuSmile crowns.
Ad
A restorative solution for pediatric
patients with early childhood caries,
NuSmile® crowns offer an esthetic alternative to traditional stainless-steel
crowns.
“Our company is dedicated to beautiful, healthy smiles for all children.
NuSmile anterior and posterior crowns
are anatomically correct, stainlesssteel crowns with the most naturallooking, tooth-colored facing available,”
Here in Chicago
For more information about NuSmile primary
crowns, head over to booth No. 1915. You can also
call (800) 346-5133 or check out the website at
www.nusmilecrowns.com.
said NuSmile CEO and President Diane
Johnson Krueger.
In 1991, NuSmile joined the effort
to end the esthetics-versus-durability
dilemma, introducing its proprietary
approach to manufacturing coated
stainless-steel crowns.
Dr. Michael Ignelzi Jr., a speaker here at
the Chicago Midwinter, has lauded the
use of NuSmile crowns in many of his
sessions.
“I have used virtually all of the resinfaced stainless-steel crowns on the market and use NuSmile crowns because
they look great and are durable,” he
said. “I have literally placed hundreds of
NuSmile crowns and can count on one
hand the times that resin has been lost
from a NuSmile crown.”
Dentists can quickly learn the NuSmile
technique for properly fitting crowns.
“They are relatively easy to use, and
they last the life of the tooth,” Ignelzi
said. “I mainly use the NuSmile crowns
to restore maxillary incisors. However
I’ll opt for composite resin when the
teeth are overcrowded.
“I have seen the changes in a little person’s life when rotten, decayed maxillary
incisors are transformed by NuSmile
crowns into beautiful, white, lifelike
teeth. Many of my patients who have
been restored with NuSmile crowns are
very proud of their ‘new’ teeth.”
Ignelzi is speaking from 9 a.m. to noon
today on “What’s New in Prevention” in
a pediatric dentistry course ($90). The
class offers three C.E. credits. Then, he
speaks again from 1:30-4:30 p.m. today
in a “Practical Update in Pediatric Dentistry,” ($90), which will provide timely
and practical information for any practice that treats children. The afternoon
course will also include more information about using NuSmile Crowns.
“NuSmile crowns are the gold standard when restoring maxillary incisors
affected by early childhood caries,” he
said.
See Dr. Ignelzi
Dr. Michael Ignelzi Jr. will speak today from 9 a.m. to
noon and again from 1:30-4:30 p.m. The courses are
$90 apiece and offer three C.E. credits each.
Ignelzi received his DDS, certificate in pediatric dentistry and Ph.D. in biochemistry and biophysics from
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He
received his certificate in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics from the University of Michigan.
He is a diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric
Dentistry. Ignelzi is currently engaged in full-time
private practice limited to orthodontics and pediatric dentistry in Greensboro, N.C.
Ignelzi is also an adjunct associate professor in the
department of pediatric dentistry at the University
of North Carolina School of Dentistry. From 1995–
2006, he served as a full-time faculty member in
the department of orthodontics and pediatric dentistry at the University of Michigan where he taught
in the clinics, lectured and treated patients in the
dental faculty practice. Ignelzi enjoyed 19 consecutive years of funding by the National Institutes of
Health. He has published more than 75 scientific articles, abstracts and book chapters and has made
more than 175 presentations to national and international audiences on orthodontics and pediatric
dentistry. Ignelzi has been interviewed live on radio
and television and has been quoted in dozens of
newspapers as well as Parents magazine, Redbook,
American Baby, Prevention, Working Mother magazine, and Contemporary Oral Hygiene. He is a national media spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, a consultant to the
American Dental Association’s Council on Dental
Practice, and a former member of the American
Academy of Pediatrics’ Bright Futures Early Childhood Expert Panel.

Seeing is believing
Check out a product demonstration of BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus this week
Shofu Dental is holding product demonstrations at booth No. 4025, featuring its new injectable hybrid restorative,
BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus.
This restorative combines hybrid-like
strength and functionality, unique handling and stackability and a flowable delivery. Additionally, the material 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 is lauded as the next step in the evolution of restorative materials based on
its convenient flowable delivery system
and 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.

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 restor-
ative 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-to-
polish 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 $99.95 (a $160 value).

NOMAD from Aribex increases access to care
Here in Chicago
Ideal for outreach
initiatives, the handheld
X-ray technology
is also popular inside
dental practices
For more information about Aribex’s NOMAD handheld X-ray technology, stop by booth No. 2036.
By Fred Michmershuizen
Dental Tribune
“Access to care is really what the message is,” said Ken Kaufman, president and
chief financial officer of Aribex, supplier
of handheld X-ray technologies and manufacturer of the NOMAD Pro handheld
X-ray system.
As Kaufman explained to Dental
Tribune Thursday morning during an interview at the Aribex booth, the NOMAD
— which is lightweight, rechargeable and
can go anywhere — allows dentists to effectively diagnose patients who might
not otherwise be able to receive muchneeded care.
The most obvious application of the
technology, of course, is for use in humanitarian outreach programs or in
environments like nursing homes, but
Kaufman said the device is also increasingly popular in dental offices, especially
those that treat a lot of children.
Ken Kaufman, president and chief financial officer of Aribex, at the company’s booth (No.
2036). (Photo/Fred Michmershuizen, Dental Tribune)
As Kaufman explained, not having to
leave the room while a child is given an
X-ray decreases a young patient’s fear
and also makes it less likely he or she will
move and necessitate a re-take.
The device was invented by D. Clark
Turner, PhD, founder, chairman and CEO
of Aribex, which recently shipped its
8,500th NOMAD device.
Aribex looks forward to celebrating its
10,000th unit in service in 2012 along
with the launch of several new initiatives.
Chief among the new initiatives is a new
Rectangular Collimator Adapter, which
snaps on the front of the cone to reduce
X-ray exposure.
Speaking of exposure, many have questioned the safety of the device.
“As they should be, radiological devices
are subject to significant regulation,”
Kaufman said. “Safety is our No. 1 priority, and we’re proud that more than 30 independent studies and evaluations have
validated our position by attesting to the
safety and efficacy of our products.
“While these evaluations have made it
possible for us to gain additional regulatory approvals worldwide, we call on
reluctant regulators to consider the overwhelming evidence that our handheld
X-ray is safe.”
Kaufman said that the company continues to work with government health
officials on a state-by-state basis to clear
regulatory hurdles.
He says dentists from Illinois, Michigan
and Minnesota who are interested in using handheld X-ray technology in the future are especially welcome to stop by the
Aribex booth to discuss outreach initiatives that would make the handheld X-ray
technology even more widely available.
As one dentist recently asked: Why
should a child in Cambodia receive better
care than one in Michigan?

The E4D line of CAD/CAM solutions
offers a reliable technology without any
compromise in function or esthetics.
We sat down with three of the premier
leaders in restorative digital dentistry
— Alex Touchstone, DDS, Lee Culp, CDT,
and Shannon Pace, CDA, CDD — to hear
how E4D has changed their lives from a
dentist’s, technician’s and assistant’s perspective.
Dentist (Touchstone)
In 1995, barely six months out of dental
school, I embraced chairside CAD/CAM
and never looked back. That decision was
the catalyst — more than anything else I
have done in dentistry the past 17 years
— for massive growth of my practice.
Since then, I have placed more than
4,000 chairside CAD/CAM restorations,
from single crowns to full-mouth reconstructions and veneers, for more than
1,000 patients. Through that experience,
I learned these restorations offer the pinnacle of esthetics and longevity my patients demand.
About two years ago, I made the switch
to the E4D Dentist system. I am amazed
by the intuitive software, workflow efficiency and wide range of applications to
functional/esthetic dentistry that E4D
offers.
I highly recommend the E4D Dentist
system to all clinicians who are interested in vastly improving both patient care
and dental office profitability.
Technician (Culp)
I have been involved with digital dentistry for 15 years and have watched and
guided its evolution during that time. As
a laboratory technician/ceramist, I have
been able to define a harmony between
technology and artistry, using CAD/CAM
as a basis for restorative excellence.
Today, 100 percent of my restorative
work is created digitally, with the E4D
system being the cornerstone of my digital foundation. At Microdental, we use
E4D technology and run eight E4D mills
16 hours a day, to mill more than 150
e.max and Empress units per day.
Using this technology, I am able to
produce anything from a single unit to
a complex full-mouth rehabilitation efficiently, predictably and with the same
level of ceramic artistry that I have been
accustomed to using with more conventional methods.
CAD/CAM technology has allowed me
a completely different way of thinking,
creating and communicating, which is
simply not possible using conventional
methods.

Assistant (Pace)
In 2008, Dr. John Cranham and I were
invited to Dallas to preview the E4D
Dentist system. We had both previously
lectured on the CEREC® system and were
asked to come for a private viewing of
something really incredible. Right away,
we both knew this was not like our system back home. We both knew this was
different from the first scan to the mill.
We were impressed with the fact that
no powdering was required, with the
user-friendly tools and with the milling
unit with multiple bur selections that
gave us crisp clear margins. I remember
the first restoration I completed, saying
to myself, “This changes everything!”
After hearing the vision of E4D and
its concept of training, which included
educating the dental assistant, we were
sold.
The idea of having the assistant take on
a more significant role, which frees the
dentist to do more productive and clinically intense procedures, again changed
everything.
I was asked to help develop the CAD/
CAM Dental Designer (CDD) certification
for dental assistants and technicians,
which requires competency in CAD/
CAM design, digital intraoral photography, the finishing of restorations and the
exchange of ideas and information on
E4D’s online forum. I’m very proud of the
contributions I was able to make.
Dentists who are thinking of purchasing the E4D ask me all the time: “You had
both. Which one should I choose?” I ask
them who will be scanning, designing
and milling the restoration: the dentist
or the assistant? They always say, “I want
my dental assistant to take it from start
to finish.”
I tell them to get the E4D — it is strong
enough for the dentist, but really made
for the dental assistant!
Throw tough anterior restorations a curve
The Blue View VariStrip contoured anterior matrix is being introduced here in
Chicago this year. Produced by Garrison
Dental Solutions (Spring Lake, Mich.), the
VariStrip is pre-contoured and tapered
end to end to allow the clinician to exactly match the height of any anterior
tooth.
Said to be ideal for all anterior restorations, you can see VariStrip at booths No.
4603 and 1007 on the exhibit hall floor.
“We walked across the parking lot to get
this concept,” said Tom Garrison, managing partner and co-founder of Garrison
Dental Solutions. “My brother John’s
practice is directly across the parking lot
from our facility. He and I were talking
about other anterior matrix options we
have, and he came up with the VariStrip
concept. It was a sketch on a sticky note
that we turned into a great little device.”
The problem, as Dr. John Garrison
described it, was that standard matrix
tape is flat, and it needed to be curved
to match tooth anatomy. However, if
you simply produced it in a curve, you
wouldn’t account for the significant
differences in occluso-gingival tooth
height. If it could be tapered and curved,
a clinician could slide it forward or back

interproximally, until it was positioned
for an ideal match.
Sounds simple enough.
While the VariStrip is the epitome of
simple — a polyester strip with some
curves built in — the machine to make
them is anything but simple.
“We thought this would be a slam-dunk
to produce,” said Tom Garrison. “Wrong!
The prototypes weren’t too hard. We handstretched the film over a curved metal
form, heated it with a hair dryer and then
cut it out with scissors. Trying to scale that
up to a commercially viable production
machine was tough! But our engineers
were tenacious, and in the end they got it.”
You can see the new Blue View VariStrip and all Garrison’s matrix products
here in Chicago at booths No. 4603 and
1007. Garrison was founded in 1997 by
Drs. Edgar and John Garrison, Tom Garrison and Rob Anderson and remains an
independent privately owned company.

Great impressions start with injections
Provide a memorable first impression with the new DentalVibe Injection Comfort System
By Steven G, Goldberg, DDS
Here in Chicago
Inventor of DentalVibe
To check out the DentalVibe Injection Comfort
System for yourself, stop by the booth, No. 4334.
We all know that first impressions are
everlasting, and I’m certain you would
agree that the first impression we make
with a new patient is one of the most
important factors patients judge us on
when they decide if we are going to be
their dentist.
After graduating NYU College of Dentistry in 1988, I opened my own private
practice in Boca Raton, Fla. Sure, I was
well equipped with the clinical skills necessary to begin a general practice, but I
soon realized the very first impression I
was making on each of my new patients
who, thankfully, were coming to me was
to hurt them with an injection.
Of course, I did everything I could to
reduce the injection pain — using topical warming carpules, injecting slowly,
shaking the lip — but there was still that
dreaded pressure pain caused by the tissue distention as the anesthetic solution
was injected within the oral mucosa, especially on the palate. I realized I no longer wanted to hurt my patients to help
them.
It then became clear to me that I needed to find a way to alleviate intra-oral
injection pain and help diminish the
anxiety millions of people endure as a
result of the fear of pain when going to
the dentist.
Remember, dentistry doesn’t hurt. Fillings, root canals and even extractions
are painless, once your patient has been
anesthetized. But the injection you administer at the very beginning of the
procedure hurts them.
Showing your patients you are willing
to invest in the very latest in technology
to make their treatment experience as
comfortable for them as possible is one
of the most important investments you
can make.
After many years of scientific literature research, I invented the DentalVibe
Injection Comfort System, now in its second generation.
This patented, award-winning device
utilizes revolutionary VibraPulse technology to send soothing pulsations deep
into the oral mucosa while an injection is
being administered. This counter-stimulation is picked up by the submucosal
nerve receptors, sending a message to
the brain and effectively closing the neural “pain gate,” enabling the comfortable
administration of intra-oral injections.
Adults and children report painless
injections, and dentists report less stress
during the injection process. The device

is cordless, portable, nonthreatening and
easily affordable. It has been receiving
rave reviews all around the world from
key opinion leaders in dentistry and has
been featured on TV news networks nationwide.
This is one dental product that can be
marketed to consumers because of its
universal appeal. Nobody wants to feel
pain, and these days, patients are no lon-
ger willing to accept it as they may have
years ago.
To take advantage of that, Bing Innovations, the maker of DentalVibe, has
launched a multi-million dollar consumer awareness campaign, including
TV commercials, consumer print ads,
cinema advertising, Internet banner ads
and a web-based dentist locator, which
is driving new patients to those dentists
who use DentalVibe.
Use the new DentalVibe Injection Comfort System in your practice and you, too,
will make great first impressions that
will last forever.

From intraoral scan to final
custom implant restoration
Here in Chicago
By Perry E. Jones, DDS, FAGD
This case demonstrates the optical
scanning of Inclusive® Scanning Abutments (Glidewell Laboratories; Newport
Beach, Calif.) utilizing the iTero™ digital
scanning system (Align Technology; San
Jose, Calif.) with software version 4.0.
Digital data was used with laboratory
CAD/CAM planning to fabricate custom
all-ceramic implant abutments and a
four-unit fixed prosthesis. The abutments and fixed prosthesis were fabricated using advanced computer-aided
milling technology.
For more information about the Inclusive Scanning
Abutments, stop by the Glidewell Laboratories
booth, No. 4411.

Dental history
The patient was a 52-year-old healthy
Hispanic male who sustained a traumatic avulsion and lost his maxillary
incisors in an automobile accident. Following healing, a four-tooth transitional
removable partial denture was constructed. He was seen by the oral and
maxillofacial surgery service of Virginia
Commonwealth University for dental
implant therapy.
Treatment plan
The patient was informed of the alternatives, benefits and potential complications of various treatment options
before deciding to pursue implant restoration of his missing teeth.
The treatment plan included placement of two Replace® Select Straight RP
4.3 x 13 mm implants (Nobel Biocare; Yorba Linda, Calif.) with 5 mm healing abutments, followed by a six-month healing
period and restoration with all-ceramic
custom abutments and a four-unit, allceramic fixed prosthesis to restore the
anterior incisors to form and function.
Surgical procedure
Using local anesthesia, two Replace Select Straight RP implant fixtures were
placed in the area of teeth #7 and #10,
using standard Nobel implant placement protocol. Placement angulation
and depth were verified and deemed
satisfactory. Standard RP 5 mm healing
abutments were placed, and the fully reflected tissue flap was closed with interrupted sutures.
Restorative procedure
Following six months of healing post-implant placement, intraoral photos were
taken to record and confirm the healthy
remaining dentition. Osseous integration was confirmed with a panoramic
X-ray, followed by resonance frequency
analysis (RFA) using an Osstell® ISQ implant stability meter with SmartPeg™ attachment (Osstell USA; Linthicum, Md.),
which displayed an implant stability
quotient (ISQ) of 78 on a minimum-tomaximum scale of 1–100.
Counter rotation with a torque wrench
confirmed no rotation to 35 Ncm. The

implant fixtures were considered acceptable for restoration.
The 5 mm healing abutments were removed, Inclusive Scanning Abutments
were placed on the implants, and the accompanying titanium screws were tightened (Fig. 1).
Using the iTero scanner with updated
software (version 4.0), a full maxillary
arch scan, full mandibular arch scan and
centric bite in maximum intercuspation
were completed. A three-dimensional
digital record of the patient’s anatomy
was created from these scans and electronically submitted to Glidewell Laboratories to be used in the CAD/CAM restoration process.
At Glidewell Laboratories, the virtual
scan was registered to the scanning abutments, providing the dental technicians
with the implant system, size, axis, position relative to the adjacent anatomy
and locking feature orientation. A virtual zirconia abutment was designed using 3Shape’s DentalDesigner™ software
(3Shape Inc.; New Providence, N.J.) and
the Glidewell Digital Abutment Library
(Fig. 2).
From this, the corresponding physical Inclusive All-Zirconia Custom Abutments (Glidewell Laboratories) were
milled. Similarly, a BruxZir® Solid Zirconia four-unit fixed bridge (Glidewell Laboratories) was designed and milled using
state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology.
The custom zirconia abutments were
trial-fitted in the patient’s mouth with
some slight tissue blanching noted (Fig.
3).
In the same visit, the final four-unit
all-ceramic milled BruxZir Solid Zirconia bridge was tried-in and examined for
proper occlusion. There was “tight” anterior coupling for this case as evidenced
by the history of provisional denture
fracture. The occlusion was checked and
presented as so precise that no adjustment was required.
The anterior view of the final prosthesis demonstrates optimal mesial-distal
width proportion, incisal edge proportion, pontic-tissue contact and excellent shade/esthetics (Fig. 4). Further, the
occlusal view demonstrates an optimal
incisal edge arch form. The soft-tissue lip
position and speech phonetics appeared
to be optimal.
Following the trial seating, the fixed
bridge was removed, the zirconia abutment retention screws torqued to 35
Ncm, the abutment screws covered with
cotton/Cavit™ Temporary Filling Material (3M™ ESPE™; St. Paul, Minn.), and
the prosthesis cemented with GC Fuji
PLUSTM (GC America; Alsip, Ill.).

Increase your revenue —
with cosmetic simulation
By Robert L . Ash
Increasing case acceptance is not
enough. “Acceptance” assumes that the
patient has already asked for a case presentation or is at least somewhat interested in having a procedure performed.
The idea is to give all of your patients
a free simulated “Smile Evaluation”
picture. This picture can then be taken
home to show the spouse, family or
friends. Providing these pictures to your
non-cosmetic patients has been shown
to dramatically increase the number of
cosmetic cases that you book on a weekly
basis.
“Cosmetic Dental Simulation” is a wellknown technique that is proven to substantially increase your bottom line, yet
remains unused by many dentists, due
to previous technological limitations.
Recent advances by SNAP Imaging Systems have now made this method so fast
and easy, it can quickly be implemented

into your workflow with minimal effort
and a near-zero learning curve.
The resulting financial impact is impressive. With SNAP Cosmetic Simulation
Software, even untrained personnel can
produce convincing and natural-looking
side-by-side, full face or close-up simulations in just a minute or two. SNAP’s
automated procedures and automatic
video help are a pleasant departure from
the old days of “200-page users manuals”
and two-week training courses.
If providing free cosmetic simulations
results in an increase in your caseload of
as little as 10-15 percent, that can translate into an increase in your bottom line
of 20-30 percent.
How is that possible? There are three

Systems
reasons. Cosmetic cases are routinely
much more expensive than non-cosmetic cases, they provide a higher income
per hour and once the office overhead is
covered by your normal workload, anything over this amount is calculated at a
much higher profit rate.
A more aggressive way of using cosmet-
ic simulation involves renting a booth or
table at a bridal show, health club or gym,
and offering “free smile evaluation photos.” Regardless of whether your aim is to
increase your patient base or to increase
the revenue from your existing patients,
you will find that cosmetic simulation is
a fast and easy way to achieve that goal.
Low radiation provides the safest environment for patients
SuniRay Sensors incorporate radiation safety in their design
By Suni staff
In today’s hectic world, not a day goes
by without just about everyone hearing,
reading or talking with someone about
the “Greening of America.” It has become
a national pastime for many Americans
to work diligently at ways to make the
environment better for themselves and
for their children. “Greening” doesn’t
just mean finding ways to conserve the
environment, it also means finding ways
to protect one’s health and improve quality of life for today’s earthly inhabitants
and tomorrow’s earthly dwellers.
Let’s examine health care. Remember
the days when cigarette smoking was actively promoted on televisions across the
country? Cocktails every night before
dinner was the rule versus the exception?
In general, people didn’t think or worry that much about their health or their
children’s health. Well, times have certainly changed in that regard. Even now
to improve health care for our children,
there is a national campaign headed by
First Lady Michelle Obama to eradicate
obesity from kids across the United
States.
People are exercising more now than
ever. People are running, and people are
playing more sports. There is less alcohol
and cigarette consumption, and people
are striving for happier and healthier
lives.
So, why not expect health-care providers to strive for a safer, healthier life for

people everywhere as well. Why not narrow down the focus specifically on dentistry?
Dentists diagnose and treat problems
with teeth and tissues in the mouth,
along with giving advice and administering care to help prevent future problems.
They also provide instruction on diet,
brushing, flossing, the use of fluorides
and other aspects of dental care. They remove tooth decay, fill cavities, examine
X-rays, place protective plastic sealants
on children’s teeth, straighten teeth and
repair fractured teeth.
Let’s narrow the focus more and talk
about X-rays. Yes, it’s true the amount
of radiation to which patients are exposed is minimal in the grand scheme of
things, but it is radiation just the same.
Nowadays, safety to patients and staff
should be, and in many cases is, a critical
aspect in dentists selecting equipment to
outfit their operatories. With the advent
of digital technologies to capture and
evaluate intra-oral and extra-oral images, there are many, many choices in the
dental marketplace.
In regard to intra-oral imaging, just a
few short years ago, the standard of care
was film-based X-ray exposure. Nowadays the standard is quickly moving toward digital sensor technologies to rapidly capture and almost instantaneously
view and diagnose anomalies in patient’s
mouths. The simplicity of digital capture
has made it one of the fastest, if not the
fastest, growing technology in dentistry.
There are many intra-oral sensor technologies available on the market today.
Some boast the best image quality, some
the most comfortable and some the best
price. Why not determine buying preference based on the safest technology –
one that can assure the safety of patients,
especially children, and staff with regard
to any excess radiation exposure.
Suni Medical Imaging, with sensor
manufacturing facilities in San Joe,
Calif., places all its energies and expertise
on just that – providing a product that
minimizes radiation exposures while
still producing diagnostic quality images
for proper treatment and case planning.
Suni’s proprietary technology marries
the sensor components together in such
a way that radiation is minimized. Thus,
radiation safety rises to the top of the attributes that Suni sensors provide.
Utilizing the concept of ALARA – “As
Low As Reasonably Accepted” – radiation
exposure, Suni’s combination of sensor pixel size, scintillator and fiberoptic
technologies, a piece of everything so
to speak, provides a diagnostic quality
product that rates high in the safety category.
Let me explain a bit more. Pixel size relates directly to the quality of the resultant image. Usually, the smaller the pixel
size, the higher the resolution of the image. But the higher the resolution, the
more “noise” factors in to the image and
it may appear a bit more “grainy” than
one would expect.
So, now what is a scintillator? A scintillator when it interacts with radiation
generates light, which is then transmitted to the sensor chip resulting in the
exposed image. Adding a scintillator to
a sensor helps to minimize noise and,
thus, make a better image.
Lastly is the fiberoptic plate. This plate
allows visible light to pass to the sensor chip where the image is formed, but
it does so in such a way that any excess
X-rays are not permitted to pass. So, taking each of these technologies in perfect
combination, one can create a sensor
that rates high in the image-quality department and equally high in the safety
department because it minimizes exposure to extraneous and potentially
harmful X-rays. This is the basis of Suni
sensor development.
In fact, a recent independent study
quantified that the SuniRay sensor, Suni’s flagship sensor product, required
less radiation to expose an image than
many of the competitive sensors on the
market today.
Safety is a right, not a choice, especially
when it comes to our health and the protection of our children’s health. If you’re
considering adding digital technology
to your practice, or if you’re considering
an upgrade to a newer technology, make
sure safety is a prime component in your
buying decision. It’s definitely in your
and your patients’ best interest.

Bridge, a new bioceramic luting cement.
You might wonder, “How can a new luting cement be any different than what is
already out there?”
Here in Chicago
For more information or to check out Ceramir
Crown & Bridge for yourself, stop by the Doxa
Dental booth, No. 3248.
One difference is that Ceramir® has the
unique ability to make tight and impermeable contact with tooth tissue that is
stable over the long term. In fact, no cement is closer to natural tooth structure
than Ceramir. This is because Ceramir
fosters a build-up of nano-crystals that
integrate with dentin and enamel, forming a biomimetic material that the company calls “nanostructurally integrating
bioceramics” (NIB). The transmission
electron microscope images, showing
how at 20 nm (the molecular level) Ceramir integrates with enamel in vivo, are
quite compelling and can be seen at the
booth (No. 3248).
Another dramatic difference in comparison to other cements is that Ceramir
creates an alkaline environment (high
pH) that resists acid and bacterial decay.
Thus, the product remains chemically
stable in the oral environment over time.
Because it was designed to be stable in an
oral environment, Ceramic does not require optimal conditions for a good seal.
The questions on everyone’s mind
when discussing dental cement usually
revolve around working time, setting
time, film thickness and mechanical
strength. Ceramir’s working time is two
minutes while its setting time is approximately five minutes. In addition, Ceramir
meets the film thickness for well-fitting
restorations by coming in at around
15 µm. Finally, Ceramir’s mechanical
strength was measured in terms of compression strength and, after 24 hours,
was measured at 170 MPa.
Recall data from a two-year clinical
study confirms that Ceramir Crown &
Bridge demonstrates outstanding effectiveness with 0 percent sensitivity, 100
percent retention, 100 percent marginal
integrity, 0 percent marginal discoloration and 0 percent secondary caries.
Ceramir Crown & Bridge is now available as Ceramir Crown & Bridge Singlecap and Ceramir Crown & Bridge Doublecap. Ceramir Crown & Bridge Singlecap is
specifically designed for single unit restorations and eliminates waste while the
original doublecap is still available for
multiple unit restorations.
Ceramir Crown & Bridge cement is
backed by 25 years of research and development by Swedish Professor Leif
Hermansson and his wife, Irmeli, founders of Doxa Dental. Stop by the booth, No.
3248, to learn more about this unique
bioceramic luting cement.

Global handpiece manufacturer
expands North American presence
NSK Dental invests in support, service and distribution to serve more practices
For years, NSK dental handpieces have
had a strong base of devoted users in the
United States and Canada, attracted to
the reliable, user-friendly performance
and reputation for quality. A word-ofmouth advertising strategy combined
with highly targeted customer relationships has worked well for the organization. But the strategy has also meant that
there are many dental professionals who
still aren’t sure about what makes NSK so
different in the handpiece market.
That’s about to change.
The dental equipment manufacturer,
founded in 1930 in Japan, is raising its
U.S. and Canadian profile in a big way,
perhaps most tangibly to date by the May
2011 opening of its newly constructed
North American headquarters in Illinois.
The facility includes a showroom, training facility, expanded warehouse space
and a larger parts and service center.
“The company made the decision last
year to increase its investment in North
America in 2011,” said NSK Dental Marketing Manager Rob Gochoel. “We’ve also
added office and technical-service staff
— and an internal team of representatives who will be able to work directly
with a greater number of dental practices.”
The company is expanding its distributor relationships as well. As a whole, the
efforts should enable NSK to provide
information about its unique business
model to most of the dental practices in
North America.
The company’s efforts also include an
expanded dental convention presence,
which began with the Greater New York
Dental Meeting, so practitioners are
more easily able to hold an NSK handpiece and experience firsthand what has
enabled the company to become one of
the top handpiece manufacturers in the
world.
“We’re making the investment in an
opportunity to connect with more customers,” Gochoel said. “Not only will we
be able to handle customer questions
and inquiries much faster, but we also
will be able to further develop a sense of
loyalty by developing even more personal relationships with doctors.”
Innovation based on input
Close relationships with its customers
are critical to the company, because that
is what has driven its global growth for
more than eight decades.
“Everybody is pretty excited,” said NSK
The S-Max Pico from NSK, with
the world’s smallest head and
neck size, owes its existence to
dentists asking NSK for a better
device to use with patients with
smaller mouths. Now, the
handpiece is also netting praise
from pediatric dentists.
Here in Chicago
For more information on NSK dental handpieces,
e-mail info@nskamericacorp.com, visit www.nsk
america.com or stop by booth No. 3846.
NSK quality is achieved primarily through uncompromising process control, which enabled it
to acquire ISO9001 certification in 1997. Its factory has more than 100 state-of-the-art
Computerized Numerical Control machines running non-stop. Photos/Provided by NSK Dental
Dental President Mirco Stiehle. “We have
very good feedback from the market so
far. I am looking forward to working with
dental professionals and learning more
about what they want from us — because
that’s where we’re coming from. We need
to understand what we need to be doing
to be successful in the United States. And
that means providing products that fit
customer demands.”
NSK is able to respond quickly and
specifically to localized needs because
it maintains complete in-house control
of the manufacturing process. An example of how such a philosophy translates
into real products is the NSK S-Max Pico,
which has the smallest head and neck
size of any handpiece on the market.
NSK built it in response to requests from
practices in Asian markets with higher
numbers of patients with smaller-thanaverage mouths. Interestingly, a bonus
realized by the company’s willingness to
address this need is that the S-Max Pico
has gone on to also receive high interest
from pediatric practitioners throughout
the world.
“We know there are other needs out
there that aren’t being met,” Gochoel
said. “We want to provide options based
on what customers are asking for. We
love to solicit feedback through our office at (888) 675-1675 and through our microsite, www.nskdental.us.”
Key to the company’s ability to develop
equipment in direct response to customer need is its commitment to controlling
the entire manufacturing process. Nearly 90 percent of the 17,000-plus parts
that go into the creation of its handpieces
are manufactured in house.
Focus on quality starts at the top
In addition to supporting its market responsiveness, NSK’s keep-it-in-house philosophy enables it to relentlessly control
quality at every step of the development,
testing and manufacturing process.
“Quality is really the top priority for
us,” Stiehle said, “especially for Eiichi Nakanishi [NSK president and CEO].”
Nakanishi, confirmed that statement:
“Since the founding of the company,”
he said, “we have adhered to very strict
quality controls to make sure our products earn dentists’ satisfaction. We have
strong policies on manufacturing almost
all components in-house. Currently,
about 90 percent of the mechanical components, including electric micromotors
and high-speed ball bearings, are manufactured in-house. No other competitors
can make ball bearings and micromotors
in-house like we do now. This is one of
our biggest strengths and competitive
advantages.”
Based out of Japan, but frequently traveling the world, Nakanishi described his
core role at NSK as being able to ensure
the global organization has a strong, motivated team in place with a clear under-
standing of what it takes to delight customers.
“We have the engineering excellence
needed to enable dental professionals to
make their dream products real,” Nakanishi said. “We want to listen to the voices
of dentists in order to develop very useful and wonderful products.”
Stiehle said responding to specific customer demand isn’t limited to a product‘s purpose and function.
“It’s not just that we offer a product in
every category of dentistry from a clinical point of view,” Stiehle said. “It also
means offering a range of price points.”
Cost sensitivity drives the company’s
focus on providing one of the largest selections of coupler adapters available —
to make it easier for practitioners to testdrive and purchase an NSK handpiece.
“Our intent is to make it as easy as possible to integrate an NSK handpiece into
the practice,” Gochoel said. “By being
compatible with virtually all competitor
coupler systems, we eliminate the need
to buy a lot of additional couplers or incur the expense of retrofitting all the operatories. It’s just one more example of a
smart, customer-centric focus.”
Rounding out the commitment to
quality assurance, pricing options and
responsiveness, is awareness that the ultimate customer is the patient.
“I am a strong believer in the need to be
aware that we are a medical device company and that, with that, comes a huge
responsibility not just in terms of quality, but also comfort and safety of the patient,” Stiehle said.
“When I am sitting in the dentist chair,
I want to make sure that I am worked on
with the best product out there. That’s
what is most important to us: the safety
and comfort of the patient.”
At NSK, innovative engineering starts where the
product is being used: in the dental office. In response
to demand for vibration-free, accurate, stable cutting,
NSK answered with Integrated Shaft Bearings (ISB), in
which the shaft itself forms an inner race for holding
the outer race, ensuring all three needs are met
efficiently, compactly and reliably.

Keystone shows off its new
medal-winning mouthguard
By Fred Michmershuizen
Dental Tribune
Ever see them play water polo? Well,
let’s just say it can get a little rough. Just
ask Brittany Hayes, who won a silver
medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics in
Beijing as a member of the U.S. women’s
water polo team.
“Getting my teeth knocked out was my
biggest fear,” Hayes said. With her at the

No. 4008 or visit the company online at www.keystoneind.com.
Keystone booth was Rick Merlo, who also
won silver in Beijing as part of the men’s
water polo team.
Hayes and Rick Merlo, who also won
silver in Beijin as part of the men’s water
polo team, both extol the virtues of the
Pro-form Patriot Mouthguard by Keystone Industries.
Hayes, who has beautiful teeth and a
beaming smile, told Dental Tribune that
an uncle who is a dentist had impressed
on her from an early age the importance
of protecting her mouth while playing a
sport with so much physical contact. She
said she likes the Patriot mouthguard
because it is easy to break in, is not ex-
tremely thick and, perhaps most importantly, it is easy to breathe through
— which is obviously important for any
physically demanding sport.
And it’s not just water polo players who
have benefited from mouthguards supplied by Keystone. The mouthguards are
also popular with players in the National
Football League, the National Hockey
League and the National Basketball Association as well as with many college
football players.
Each mouthguard is custom fit for
the wearer. According to Keystone,
the important physical characteristics
of mouthguard materials are tensile
strength, softness and uniform density.
The Pro-form laminate maintains these
characteristics best because of its laminating process, which combines heat and
pressure. Strength is enhanced because
of the laminate’s multiple layers.
Features of the mouthguards include
an anterior brace for extra protection,
custom fitting for great oxygen intake,
an easy-to-attach breakaway strap, a
custom-made shock absorbing surface,
excellent abrasion resistance and more.
Pro-form mouthguards are designed to
protect both professional and amateur
athletes from orofacial injuries, tooth
fracture and concussions.
Recently, some new tie-dye designs
have been added to the extensive line of
Pro-form laminated mouthguards. They
are all made using the same laminating procedure to insure the same Proform quality. They are also available in
round.

U.S. EPA to propose dental rule
requiring amalgam separators
By Al Dubé, National Sales Manager,
Here in Chicago
SolmeteX
To learn more about the proposed EPA dental rule,
stop by SolmeteX booth, No. 1332
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) was scheduled to release
a proposed dental rule in October 2011.
The proposed dental rule has been released from the draft committee and
now is undergoing a cost analysis.
Once this analysis is complete, the
document will head to the Office of Management and Budget for final approval
before the proposed rule is released. This
release is now anticipated to be early this
year. This proposed rule would require
all U.S. dental facilities, which place or remove amalgam, to practice Best Management Practices (BMPs).
BMPs are rules for managing mercury
wast, or, more specifically, amalgam,
which contains as much as 50 percent
mercury by weight. In 2003, the American Dental Association (ADA) published
a BMP adding the recommended use of
amalgam separators in 2007.
The EPA simply is going to make the
The SolmeteX Hg5 amalgam separator. Photo/Provided by SolmeteX
BMPs a requirement, including the installation of amalgam separators.
Once the EPA’s proposed dental rule is
released, there will be an opportunity
for public comment within a specified
period of time. Anyone has the right to
offer comments regarding the proposal
in writing to the EPA.
As an example, if someone feels dental
offices should install separators sooner
than the designated time, they can recommend this to the EPA. EPA will review
the public comments and anticipates the
dental rule to go final by first quarter
2012.
Hints of what to expect are:
• installation of a 2008 ISO 11143 certified amalgam separator
• required maintenance and potentially annual regulatory inspections
• the do’s and don’ts of amalgam management
• An unspecified implementation period will be granted providing a required
mandatory amalgam separator installation date.
Please stay tuned for updates and the
posting of the EPA dental rule.

Kuraray offers CLEARFIL Bond System F
Kuraray’s legend dates back to 1926, in
the town of Kurashiki, Japan, where it
began as a producer of synthetic fibers.
In 1978, Kuraray developed the technology that would redefine dentistry as we
know it now, with the introduction of
the world’s first dentin bonding agent,
CLEARFIL BOND SYSTEM F.
Concurrently, Kuraray pioneered the
first total-etch and the first self-etch
technique on dentin and enamel. Today, Kuraray has set the gold standard
for dental bonding agents with its revolutionary product released in 1999,
CLEARFIL SE BOND. With this product,
Kuraray has coined itself as a leader in
bonds and adhesives.
Kuraray’s focus on adhesive dentistry
makes it a cut above the rest, the company says. With the creation of CLEARFIL
SE BOND and Panavia products, Kuraray
has earned its title as a leader in adhesive dentistry. The goal is to preserve
dental health through longevity of the
restoration utilizing the concept of minimal intervention.
A strong chemical bond will hold a restoration in place without having to remove large amounts of tooth structure.
With the development of the proprietary monomer, MDP, more than 25 years
ago, this strong chemical bond between
the restoration and tooth structure can
occur with virtually no post-operative

sensitivity.
For 2012, Kuraray is proud to present the dental industry with another ground-breaking bonding agent,
CLEARFIL S3 BOND PLUS. This is an allin-one, self-etching adhesive for treating enamel and dentin with only one
liquid component and one application,
making it a smart choice for the dental
professional looking to save time while
decreasing post-operative sensitivity.
With CLEARFIL S3 BOND PLUS, phase
separation is omitted, when compared
with other competitive single-step
bonding products. This product also
contains the proprietary monomer,
MDP, for a chemical bond, which offers
the most advanced, one-step bonding
system. Historically, one-step products
demonstrate poor performance, creating the need for CLEARFIL S3 BOND
PLUS.
Low technique sensitivity and virtually no post-operative sensitivity go hand-
in-hand with CLEARFIL S3 BOND PLUS.
Originally introduced in 2005 as Clearfil
S3 Bond, improved curing properties,
new photo initiator, fluoride-release and
a shortened self-etch time of 10 seconds
are all improvements bringing it to the
“PLUS” status.
With many competitors, it is common for there to be many steps within a
“single-step” product. Simplicity is the
basis of CLEARFIL S3 BOND PLUS; there
is no bottle shaking, no mixing, no multiple applications involved with this
product (offered in a bottle or a unit dose
applicator). This bonding agent perfectly
complements a dentin or enamel bond
when used with light-cure composites,
and it can also be used for post-cementation and core build-ups in conjunction
with CLEARFIL DC CORE PLUS.
Ease of use with outstanding performance and long-term results proves the
Kuraray name within the dental industry, the company says. Dental professionals can rest assured when they see
CLEARFIL products on their shelves,
knowing that they have chosen the gold
standard for their dental practice.
The new gem in the Denticator family
Hygienists have been
talking, and Denticator
has been listening
As the needs of clinicians continue to
evolve, Denticator has simultaneously
tailored its products to better serve its
customers. Denticator is committed to
making preventive dentistry more accessible, affordable and enjoyable for all clinicians by continuously delivering products that bring fun to the dental office,
without sacrificing the quality dental
professionals and patients both expect
and deserve.
Denticator Emerald™
After extensive research, product development and continuous focus groups,
Denticator has designed a disposable
prophy angle that meets the needs of a
clinician performing prophylaxis: the
Denticator Emerald.
The Emerald’s most prominent feature is the ergonomic bend found in the
prophy angle body. This extra 17-degree
bend greatly enhances access to the posterior regions of the oral cavity. The bend
also helps keep the operator’s wrist in a
more neutral position during prophy
cleanings to decrease wrist fatigue and
chances of further complications.
A latex-free, short cup was designed

specifically for the Emerald. This cup features ridges on the outside to help guide
paste and reduce splatter. These ridges
also enhance stain removal — especially
in interproximal regions — and help
provide optimal cup flare. Moreover, accesses on interproximal, subgingival, lingual, buccal and occlusal surfaces have
been improved. Clinicians can use the
outside of the cup to access lingual and
buccal regions as well.
Additionally, the Emerald has an updated gearing system, designed to help
it operate smoother and reduce vibration
while running on slow-speed hygiene
handpieces. The compatibility of the
Emerald angle with slow-speed hygiene
handpieces makes it usable for most
clinicians, and the new gearing system
provides improved comfort for both the
clinician and the patient.
Another enhanced feature is the subtle
ridges that can be found at the base of
the prophy angle to help improve clinicians’ grip on the angle in the presence of
saliva, water and prophy paste. Because
many clinicians hold the base of the prophy angle, this design is a nice improve-
ment when compared to other prophy
angles with a smooth base.
The final enhancement is the unique
metallic color, which provides a sleek
look that is different from other prophy
angles. This makes the Emerald easily distinguishable from other products
around the dental office.
Denticator background
For a better understanding on how Denticator disposable prophy angles have
evolved into the innovative and clean
style found in the Emerald, it is important to know the progression of Denticator as a company.
Denticator was founded in 1931 and
recognized as a pioneer in the disposable
prophy angle market after introducing
the Original Green® Prophy Angle in the
late 1980s. Since then, Denticator has be-
come known for its reliable, quality products and is currently offering four unique
prophy angles that fit a variety of needs.
The Original Green, which contains a
shorter cup and traditional webbing for a
quick and efficient clean; the Diamond™,
with its distinct diamond design inside
a longer cup to reduce splatter; Zooby, a
kid-friendly, animal-themed disposable
prophy angle aimed, but not limited to,
pediatric patients; and now the Emerald.
Conclusion
By creating the Emerald, Denticator is
providing clinicians with a prophy angle
they want to use. They will be able to recognize that this disposable prophy angle
was designed with both them and their
patients in mind when they experience
the enhanced grip, improved comfort
and greater interproximal access.

tried and true. Doxa Dental, for example,
is offering its Ceramir Crown & Bridge
bioceramic dental luting cement, which
is designed for the permanent cementation of crowns and fixed partial dentures, as well as gold inlays and onlays,
prefabricated metal and cast dowels and
more. Stop by booth No. 3248 to learn
more.
Many companies offer special promotions, show specials or giveaways at the
Midwinter Meeting.
At VOCO America (booth No. 2043),
you can spin a wheel to win free product
samples or even gift cards to Starbucks.
And at Suni Medical Imaging (booth No.
439), you can practice your free throw
technique and enter a drawing for prizes.
If you’re lucky, you could win cool Apple
products or even a vacation!
Of course, these are just a sample of the
hundreds of offerings that await meeting
attendees on the show floor. The exhibit
hall is open today until 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
