Awesome thing No. 129: clean teeth
By Robert Selleck, Dental Tribune
A daily blog attracting 40,000 visitors a week, “1000 Awesome Things,” has
been steadily counting down since June
20, 2008, to the posting of its final awesome thing on April 20. Along the way,
more than a few of the awesome things
have had a dental connection. The most
recent was No. 129: “Clean teeth at all
costs.”
Since launching the blog, Canadian
writer Neil Pasricha has unfailingly posted a new, often-underappreciated simple
joy in life every weekday. His insightful, funny and sometimes wandering
descriptions, as much as the awesome
things themselves, have attracted a global following.
Ad
No. 129 is no exception in its style. The
posting opens with Pasricha’s observations about his parent’s bedtime preparation habits, then segues into his own latenight web-surfing habits and his “zombie
walk” into the bathroom to brush his
teeth. The narrative takes a sharp turn
in the bathroom when Pasricha notices
a spider and contemplates the possibility that it’s been crawling around on his
toothbrush.
Pasricha writes: “I stared quickly into
the mirror with steely, bloodshot eyes
and asked myself what sort of man I was.
Was I a frantically-freaking-out-overspider-germs sort of guy? No, I decided
right then and there, that I was not. I was
a clean-teeth-at-all-costs kind of guy. I
was too far in to go back and I needed to
hit the pillow with a fresh mouth.”
Other dental-related awesome things
on the list: 961: Yellow teeth; 952: When
someone tells you that you have something in your teeth; 930: Finally getting
a piece of popcorn that’s been stuck in
your teeth all day out; 900: Multitasking
while brushing your teeth; 818: When the
dentist says you have no cavities; 744:
That smooth feeling on your teeth after
you get your braces off; and 618: The feeling of brushing your teeth with a new
toothbrush.
The blog, at 1000awesomethings.com,
has spawned three best-selling books,
“The Book of Awesome,” “The Book of
(Even More) Awesome” and “The Book
of (Holiday) Awesome.” Is “The Book of
(Dental) Awesome” far behind?

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
Fig. 1: Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution
Photos/Provided by Glidewell Laboratories
Fig. 2b: Inclusive Tapered Implant and disposable surgical drills
Here at Hinman
For more information about the Inclusive Tooth
Replacement Solution, please stop by the Glidewell
Laboratories booth, No. 2232.
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.

Aribex NOMAD
offers rectangular

The Aribex
NOMAD
with the
Rectangular
Collimator
Adapter.

Aribex
Adapter significantly reduces the
radiation dosage to patient and user
Aribex, a worldwide leader in handheld X-ray technologies, introduced its
new Rectangular Collimator Adapter for
the NOMAD® Pro handheld X-ray during
last month’s Chicago Midwinter Meeting. The device snaps on the front of the
NOMAD Pro cone to reduce the X-ray
exposure from a 6 cm circle down to a 3
by 4 cm rectangle, matching the size and
shape of a No. 2 dental image receptor.
“Dozens of studies have proven the
NOMAD Pro to be safe,” said Ken
Kaufman, president of Aribex. “The
NOMAD Pro patient dose area is already
27 percent smaller than that of traditional systems.
“Thanks to the feedback of our customers and the hard work of the Aribex team,
this new Rectangular Collimator Adapter
makes our NOMAD Pro even safer, because it reduces the dose area by an additional 58 percent.”
The Rectangular Collimator Adapter is
available for immediate shipment with a
manufacturer’s suggested retail of $195,
75 percent less than similar adapters on
the market today. Here, during the Hinman Dental Meeting, the adapter will be
featured in the Aribex NOMAD booth,
No. 814.
“Improved patient safety isn’t the only
benefit,” Kaufman said. “Studies have
shown that when properly used, our
device protects dental staff members
as much or better than traditional wallmounted systems.”
Safe and approved for use
Aribex recently reaffirmed that each of
its X-ray products meets FDA requirements, including FDA 510(K) clearance
and labeling. This announcement came
as a result of a recent FDA investigation
into the illegal online sales of handheld dental and veterinary X-ray units
by manufacturers outside the United
States.
Kaufman stressed that the NOMAD,
which is manufactured in the United
States, is proven safe, FDA-cleared and
approved for use in almost all states. Aribex officials said the company continues

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
of 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 Atlanta 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 co-founder.
“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.”

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.

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

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 Beijing 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.
Rick Merlo, left, and Brittany Hayes are
medal-winning Olympic athletes. Both won
silver in Beijing in water polo. They credit
part of their success to the Pro-form Patriot
mouthguards by Keystone Industries they
wore during competition.

PALODENT PLUS
Palodent® Plus is the newest sectional
matrix system from DENTSPLY Caulk.
It offers wide applications for sectional
matrix system use and delivers predictable, accurate contacts consistently.
This new system includes a molar and pre-molar ring, four different size matrices and new wedges and
WedgeGuards.
The rings offer consistent separation
force and are made of nickel titanium,
which ensures they will last longer
than traditional stainless-steel rings.

chairman of the 2012 Hinman Dental
Meeting. “What started as a study club
in 1912 has grown to become the pre-eminent dental meeting in the country with
a 100-year legacy of excellence.”
In the lecture halls, dozens of the country’s leading dental experts are sharing
their knowledge and experience on topics ranging from restorative composites
to socket grafting. A few of the many
educational highlights include “HandsOn Oral Surgery Workshop for the General Practitioner,” offered by Dr. Robert
Edwab of New York City; “Photography:
An Essential Tool for Communication in
Dentistry,” offered by Dr. Richard Young
of San Bernadino, Calif.; and “Endodontic
Diagnosis,” offered by Dr. Joe H. Camp of
Charlotte, N.C.
In addition, numerous table clinic presentations are being offered for additional continuing education credits.
In the exhibit hall, hundreds of companies are showcasing the latest dental
technology, products, equipment and
services. Whether you are a general practitioner or a specialist, an office manager
or a hygienist, there are products and
services here that can make your job easier, faster, more efficient or better.

States, offered the meeting’s keynote
address Thursday afternoon before a
packed house. She offered her perspective on both global and national issues.
The meeting here in Atlanta has a rich
history. Dr. Thomas P. Hinman, a prominent 20th century dentist and advocate
