Michmershuizen,
I
f you ask most dentists here at
McCormick Place this weekend, they
will most likely tell you that they
never miss a year.
That’s perhaps because the Chicago
Dental Society’s Midwinter Meeting is
known for helping dental professionals
stay on the cutting edge of new technology and innovation. At this year’s event
— the 147th annual — literally dozens of
new, innovative products are being unveiled.

It’s become an annual tradition here
at the Midwinter Meeting: the gala celebration for the National Children’s Oral
Health Foundation: America’s ToothFairy
(NCOHF) — an organization dedicated to
fighting pediatric dental disease.
This year’s gathering, “Celebration of
Smiles,” held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel,
was extra special, thanks to the participation of Twentieth Century Fox Home
Entertainment, which will release “Tooth
Fairy 2” on Blu-ray and DVD on March 6.
The movie stars Larry the Cable Guy and
Brady Reiter, who charmed attendees at
the gala celebration with her presence.
The duo recently created a public service announcement video, which teaches children the importance of good oral
health care.
Said Fern Ingber, NCOHF president and
CEO: “We are thrilled to partner with
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and ‘Tooth Fairy 2’ stars Larry and
Brady to promote children’s oral health.
How wonderful to have Brady at the Celebration of Smiles to launch the America’s

Dental Tribune
ToothFairy Kids Club, which will provide
fun, quarterly activities and tips from
the ToothFairy to encourage positive
oral-health behaviors.”
The NCOHF was formed in 2006 in an
aggressive response to eliminate pediatric dental disease by providing community programs with the comprehensive
resources to deliver vital educational,
preventive and treatment services to children of the most vulnerable populations.
To date, the NCOHF has delivered nearly $10 million in direct funding, donated
dental products and educational resources to its non-profit affiliate network and
community programs throughout North
America, reaching millions of children
with oral health services.

education
Renew your passion
for dentistry at LVI
By LVI Staff
Welcome to the Yankee Dental Congress 2012, and congratulations on actively moving your understanding and
professional success forward. It is only
through excellent education that we can
individually grow and develop as dental
health professionals and, through that,
build a practice that is not just successful
but delivers comprehensive and highquality care. As a patient, you expect the
best care you can find. As a dentist, you
want to deliver the best care possible.
That takes us to the power of continuing education, and as dentists, we are
faced with choices in this area. As a way
to introduce you to the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, or LVI,
we want to outline what LVI is about and
what void it fills in your practice. The
alumni who have completed programs
at LVI were given an independent survey, and unlike the typical surveys of
dentists, 99.7 percent say they love being
a dentist, and of those surveyed, 92 percent enjoy their profession more since
they started their training at LVI.
While the programs at LVI cover the
full breadth of dentistry, the most powerful and life-changing program is
generally reported as being Core I, or
“Advanced Functional Dentistry — The
Power of Physiologic Based Occlusion.”
This program is a three-day course designed for clinicians and their teams to
learn together about the power of getting
the patient’s physiology on their side.
In this program, clinicians can learn
how to start the process of taking control of their practice and start to enjoy
the full benefits of owning their practice
and providing high-quality dentistry.
Regardless of whether it is a solo practice
or a group setting, every dentist can start
the process of creating comprehensive
care experiences for their patients.
We will discuss why some cases that
dentists are asked by their patients to do
are actually dangerous cases to restore
cosmetically. We will discover the developmental science behind how unattractive smiles evolve and what cases may
need the help of auxiliary health-care
professionals to get the patient feeling
better. The impact of musculoskeletal
signs and symptoms will be explored as
well as how the supporting soft tissue is
the most important diagnostic tool you
have — not simply the gingiva but the
entire soft-tissue support of the structures, not just in the mouth but also in
the rest of the body.
A successful restorative practice
should not be built on insurance reimbursement schedules. An independent
business should stand not on the whims
and distractions of a fee schedule but
rather on the ideal benefits of comprehensive care balanced by the patient’s
needs and desires.
Dentistry can be a challenging and
thankless business, but it doesn’t have
to be. Through complete and compre-
hensive diagnosis, there is an amazing
world of thank yous and hugs and tears
that our patients bring to us — but only
when we can change their lives. The Core
I program at LVI is the first step on that
journey. That’s why when you call, we

will answer the phone: “LVI, where lives
are changing daily!”

Better vision, better ROI
By offering many different uses, the FUSION from DentLight is money well spent
By Fred Michmershuizen
Dental Tribune
The FUSION curing light, available
from DentLight, is much more than just
a curing light. In fact, it is so versatile
that the Richardson, Texas-based supplier refers to it as a “Dental Oral Exam
System.”
As Dr. Richard Liu, president of DentLight, explained during an interview
Friday at the Midwinter Meeting, in
addition to its curing functions, the
FUSION can also be used for caries and
composite detection, for extra magnification illumination and for the detection of oral cancer.
And as a curing light, it’s not bad either.
Liu said the light allows a composite
to cure four times faster than other
lights, and its double-depth penetration
means that it is the best light for bulk
curing.
“This just blows everything else on
the market away,” Liu said. “There isn’t
anything else like it on the market.”

Here in Chicago
For more information on the FUSION and other
lighting solutions available from DentLight, stop by
booth No. 3717.
He said the light adds to profitability
for the dentist, offers increased marketability potential for new patients — and
it saves lives.
Scott Mahnken, a dental industry
consultant who works with DentLight,
is sold on the product, too. He said that
the light means less clutter in the dental office, more efficiency and increased
revenue.
“FUSION offers the fastest ROI of any
product I have seen,” Mahnken told
Dental Tribune.
Several other innovative lighting solutions are also available from DentLight.
The Nano loupe light offers focused
power with three digital brightness levels. It allows the dentist to see caries and
even helps improve posture.
And for eye protection, a Laser Filter
converts a regular magnifying loupe
into a laser loupe.
The focused beam generated by the FUSION curing light offers multiple applications.

GIOMER materials: Essential
ingredients for a healthy smile
In recent years, a new type of glass filler known as GIOMER has been receiving
attention in clinical papers and on the
lecture circuit.
Although widely accepted in Japan
for the past 15 years, it has only recently
caught on in the United States. Amongst
the newest and the most innovative filler
material on the market, GIOMERs are
also the most misunderstood.
What are GIOMERs?
Although frequently used to describe the
new category of restoratives, the term
GIOMER is less of a category and more an
ingredient. Succinctly put, GIOMER refers to any product that contains surface
pre-reacted glass (S-PRG).
S-PRG fillers are nano-sized glass filler
particles that undergo an acid/base reaction receiving a surface modified layer
to help block moisture before incorporation into the resin.
This process differs greatly from GI
or compomers, which achieve an acid/
base reaction only after placement, following a light cure, and after they absorb water.
Following water sorption, fillers in
GIs and compomers immediately swell,
causing a rapid breakdown in both
strength and esthetics.
Here in Chicago
If you are interested in learning more about
GIOMER materials, stop by the Shofu booth, No.
4025, or visit www.shofu.com.
Through pre-reaction and the addition
of a surface modified layer, GIOMERs offer stable fluoride rechargability similar to GIs but with vast improvement to
strength and esthetics.
Sustained fluoride recharge
Unlike other composite resin materials, GIOMERs are unique in their ability
to recharge fluoride indefinitely. S-PRG
filler particles act as a fluoride reservoir
that recharge with brushing or rinsing
with fluoridated products.
Fluoride then releases when acid levels
rise, providing sustained preventative
benefits to adjacent tooth structure over
the life of the restoration.
Independent evaluation of S-PRG materials conducted by the University of
Florida and published in JADA, translates
this benefit to clinical relevance. At eight
years, none of the restorations failed,
no sensitivity was reported, anatomical
form was well-maintained and, most notably, no secondary caries were present
in any of the patients.
BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus

Application of GIOMERs
Dental applications for GIOMER products are limited only by the imagination. Shofu has successfully incorporated the material into composite resins
such as BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus, BEAUTIFIL
II and the bonding agent FL Bond II with
great clinical success.
Additional applications are under development.
To cure through or not to cure through …
Now you have the choice with posterior Class II restorations to cure through
or not cure through.
A completely new sectional matrix system from the one of the biggest names
in matrices, Garrison Dental Solutions
(Spring Lake, Mich.), is designed with
transparent and translucent materials.
This allows the clinician to apply his or
her curing light from any direction.
Composi-Tight 3D Clear is the most
recent addition to 15 years of matrix system innovation from Garrison. It is being
shown here in Chicago for the first time.
“We sell direct here in the United States,
which provides us a huge opportunity to
talk directly with our customers,” said
Tom Garrison, managing partner and cofounder. “Having a cure-through option
in a sectional matrix is something that
they’ve been asking for. We borrowed
heavily from our hugely successful
Composi-Tight 3D to create the separator
ring, created a translucent version of our
most popular wedge and then created totally unique cure-through matrix bands.
“It’s a complete system — bands, rings
and wedges,” Garrison said. “Designed to
produce the tight, anatomical contacts
doctors expect from Composi-Tight, yet
give them complete control over polymerization.”
Here in Chicago
You can see the new Composi-Tight 3D Clear and
all Garrison’s products at booths No. 4603 and
1007. Garrison Dental Solutions is on the web at
www.garrisondental.com.
Composi-Tight 3D Clear
Photo/Provided by Garrison Dental Solutions
Buccal and lingual flash is reduced by
soft silicone on the tips of the rings. The
silicone adapts to the tooth surface and
tightly seals the matrix band.
“The Soft Face technology we pioneered for the original Composi-Tight
3D was easily adapted into the new Clear
system,” he said. “Our customers said
this was a ‘must-have’ feature of any
cure-through system. They also wanted
some new things with the bands themselves.
“It wasn’t enough to make them curethrough. They wanted an enhanced
marginal ridge to make it easier to recreate this part of the anatomy, and they
wanted the bands to be easier to place.
The Clear system bands have placement
tabs that you can grab to actually ‘floss’
them into position.”
When asked how clinicians could try
the system, Garrison had this to say: “As
I mentioned before, we’re a direct company. Another advantage to that is we
can offer something I don’t think anyone
else in the industry offers: a six-month,
money-back satisfaction guarantee. Ask
all dentists, and they’ll tell you they’ve
got a drawer full of stuff they bought,
tried once and never used again. We
don’t want them to feel the same about
our products.
“If it ends up not being what they
wanted, they can send it back, and we’ll
give them their money back. It’s simple,
hassle-free, and I think it’s a great way to
operate our business. It builds trust.”
Garrison was founded in 1997 by Drs.
Edgar and John Garrison, Tom Garrison
and Rob Anderson and remains an independent privately owned company.

Clinical benefits of the Inclusive
Tooth Replacement Solution
By Darrin W. Wiederhold, DMD, MS,
and Bradley C. Bockhorst, DMD
A hallmark of the most successful
modern clinicians is the ability to strike
a balance between a daily load of 12 to 16
patients and maintaining the same high
standard of care. No easy task when it
comes to implant cases.
Currently, the manufacturer is responsible for the components, the laboratory
for the restoration — after receiving the
impressions. Restoratively, that’s like
erecting a house on an existing foundation, limiting the builder. Proper esthetics requires soft-tissue contouring that
begins at implant placement, making
stock components less than ideal.
With the new Inclusive® Tooth Replacement Solution from Glidewell Laboratories, custom-designed temporary
components allow for immediate provisionalization specific to each patient,
and a matching custom impression
coping communicates the final gingival architecture to the laboratory. Add
the implant, surgical drills, prosthetic
guide, final custom abutment and final BruxZir® Solid Zirconia restoration
(Glidewell), and the clinician receives all
the components necessary to place, provisionalize and restore the implant.
The Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution supports a streamlined workflow
that ensures predictability and longterm success. Armed with the endgame
in mind and the tools and road map to
get there, experienced and novice clinicians alike can place and restore dental
implants with greater confidence than
ever before.
Implant treatment workflow
• Consultation and data collection
• Day of surgery protocol
• Healing phase
• Restorative phase: final impressions
• Delivery of final prosthesis

Here in Chicago
For more information about the Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution, stop by the Glidewell Laboratories booth, No. 4411.
Consultation and data collection
For single-tooth replacement or fullmouth rehabilitation, comprehensive
treatment planning is paramount. You’ll
need:
• Full-arch upper/lower impressions
(PVS)
• Bite registration
• Full-mouth radiographs (panoramic
and CBCT scan, as needed. Note: If you do
not have a CBCT scanner, refer patient to
an imaging center.)
• Shade match of existing dentition
• Preoperative photos
Once you’ve selected a diameter and
length of implant, forward the diagnostic materials (impressions, models,
bite registration, shade, implant size) to
Glidewell for fabrication of the custom
components. The laboratory will pour
and articulate the models and assemble
the components, delivered to you in an
all-inclusive box (Fig. 1):
• Prosthetic guide (Fig. 2a)
• Custom temporary abutment (Fig.2a)
Fig. 2a: Prosthetic guide, custom temporary abutment, BioTemps provisional
crown, custom healing abutment and custom impression coping
• BioTemps® provisional crown (Glidewell) (Fig. 2a)
• Custom healing abutment (Fig.2a)
• Custom impression coping (Fig. 2a)
• Surgical drills (Fig.2)
• Inclusive Tapered Implant (Glidewell)
(Fig.2)
Day of surgery protocol
Place the box contents alongside your
usual surgical armamentarium. Confirm
the prosthetic guide fits snugly around
the teeth. Visually confirm the proposed
location of the implant osteotomy correlates with your planned location.
After placing the implant, decide based
on the level of primary stability whether
to place the custom healing abutment or
the custom temporary abutment and accompanying BioTemps crown. Either option will begin sculpting the soft-tissue
architecture around the implant to develop the future emergence profile.
Fig. 3: Final Inclusive custom abutment and final BruxZir or
IPS e.max crown
If there is adequate attached tissue, use
a tissue punch to remove the soft tissue
over the osteotomy site; otherwise, reflect a flap. Note that the margin of the
custom temporary abutment is set at approximately 2 mm.
Depending on the thickness of the soft
tissue, the abutment can be adjusted and
BioTemps crown relined. The custom
healing abutment or BioTemps crown
must be 1 mm to 1.5 mm out of occlusion
to avoid occlusal stress.
Store custom impression coping with
patient chart for the restorative phase.
Healing phase
Schedule monthly follow-up appointments to ensure osseointegration is progressing and to adjust the provisional
restoration.
Restorative phase: final impressions
Upon successful osseointegration, the
restorative phase begins. Contours of the
custom impression coping match those
of the custom healing abutment or custom temporary abutment, so it’s simple
to remove the custom abutment, seat the
impression coping and take an accurate
full-arch final impression using a closedtray or open-tray.
Complete a simple prescription form
included with the original box, select
your final custom abutment and final
shade for your BruxZir or IPS e.max®
(Ivoclar Vivadent; Amherst, N.Y.) restoration, and simply forward these items to
Glidewell. There are no additional laboratory fees.
Delivery of final prosthesis
On the day of delivery, remove the custom temporary abutment and clean all
debris from inside and around the implant. Try in the final Inclusive® Custom
Abutment (Glidewell) and BruxZir or IPS
e.max crown (Fig. 3). Check the contours,
contacts and occlusion and adjust as
needed.
The final occlusion should be light on
the implant-retained crown, with forces
directed along the long axis to minimize lateral forces. The abutment screw
is tightened to 35 Ncm, head of the abutment screw covered and crown cemented. All excess cement must be removed.
Instruct your patient about home care,
and set a recall schedule.

Let patients take their
new smiles for a test drive
Are you looking for that one new product that can make an immediate impact
on your dental practice’s bottom line?
Then look for detailed information
being distributed here at Yankee about
PreNew PreView®, an innovative dental
technology from Jason J. Kim Dental Aesthetics.
Built from a simple study model,
PreNew PreView is a “smile preview” that
fits over patients’ existing teeth to show
them just how great they are going to
look. Before PreNew PreView, dentists
had to rely on digitally manipulated
before-and-after photos.
Today, dentists have PreNew PreView,
which can create a very realistic image of
what a patient’s new smile will look like
once his or her final dental restoration is
completed.
PreNew PreView was launched during the Greater New York Dental Meeting (GNYDM) at the Jason J. Kim Dental
Aesthetics booth where master ceramist
Jason J. Kim presented this new dental
technology, which is an exclusive, realistic approach to attracting current and
potential clients who may be considering
dental restoration. It may also be used as
a marketing tool to help dentists increase
revenue.
During the GNYDM, dozens of dentists
attended the PreNew PreView presentations. In addition,many New York metro
area dentists have also attended workshops at Jason J. Kim’s labs.
Here in Chicago
For more information about PreNew PreView and
to learn about upcoming PreNew PreView workshops from Jason J. Kim Dental Aesthetics, visit
www.jjkda.com or stop by booth No. 4245 to pick up
more information.
How does PreNew PreView work?
PreNew PreView is a simple two-step process. Step one: During the patient’s first
visit to the dentist, a study model is taken
along with two photos (smile with lips/
full-facial smile). These are sent to the lab
at Jason J. Kim Dental Aesthetics.
Step two: During the second visit, the
dentist applies the new look over the patient’s existing teeth. There’s no drilling
and no pain. The patient will get to experience a realistic preview of his or her
new smile.
This first-hand look can boost the patient’s confidence about the dental restoration process and add certainty to his
or her decision to proceed, according to
Jason J. Kim Dental Aesthetics. The company says PreNew PreView is customtailored to intrigue current and potential
clients who may be considering dental
restoration and is a tool designed to impact your bottom line.

New campaign focuses
on oral health awareness
The concept of patient self-exam has
been discussed and recommended by
medical associations and patient advocacy groups for years for a variety of conditions and diseases. Patients are taught
to check for lumps during a breast cancer
self-exam and look for changes in size,
color, texture and other signs of melanoma skin cancer.
So what about an oral self-exam? The
topic of self-exam for oral cancer has appeared in articles written by hygienists,
dentists, oral surgeons and ENTs. It’s not
a new idea.
The problem is that most of the communications have been directed exclusively to health-care professionals and
have not been introduced to patients.
But that’s about to change.
Along with several new enhancements
for 2012, OralCDx® has launched an
awareness campaign around oral self-exam (OSE). Patients are taught to look for
the earliest signs of potential abnormality and bring it to the attention of their
dentist or physician.
Because every oral cancer (carcinoma)
starts as a small but visible red or white

oral spot, patient examination of the
mouth on a regular basis is the first line
of defense against this deadly disease.
Patients will also be instructed to get a
thorough professional oral exam annually because they can’t see all parts of
their mouth.
Self-exam of the oral cavity has distinct
advantages over others. Because the majority of the mouth is easy to visualize,
early signs of change can be seen without
any special tools. Once brought to the attention of the dentists or physicians, he/
she can perform a simple BrushTest® of
the patient’s spots right in the office.
The OralCDx BrushTest is unique in its
ability to painlessly rule out pre-cancer
or possible early cancer from a spot that
is found.
OralCDx believes the OSE campaign
will help to raise awareness in a very
positive and proactive way — allowing
patients to become advocates for their
own health and well-being.
Patients will learn about oral cancer
and how it typically can be easily pre-
vented. Patients will be encouraged to
start the conversation with their clinician, bringing any red or white spots to
their attention. Patients will “partner”
with their clinicians — sharing responsibility for their health.
From the professional’s perspective,
the oral self-exam offers many benefits.
Patient awareness and a proactive approach will ease communication on the
subject of oral cancer and its preventability. Understanding that the dentist
or doctor will also perform a thorough
exam is comforting to patients, and they
will be less likely to skip an appointment
that includes this exam. Patients will appreciate the concern and extra measures
taken to protect their health.
Coupled with dental professionals performing thorough oral exams, OSE provides a tremendous opportunity to engage patients, raise awareness and help
prevent a disease. OralCDx continues its
mission to empower dentists and physicians with a simple, accurate in-office
test that improves the outcomes and
lives of their patients through the earliest possible detection of disease.
