That’s because here at the 100th Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting, there are more than 200 lectures, presentations and hands-on workshops to choose from. The leading authorities in the field of dentistry are here in Atlanta to share their knowledge and expertise. No matter what your area of interest is, there is a course for you. Many of the classroom offerings are divided into various educational tracks, including “Prevention Convention,” “As- sisting Extravaganza,” “Business Office Bonanza,” “Dentist Fast Track” and the new “Emerging Dentist’s Survival Guide.” In addition, there are offerings in glass classrooms right on the exhibit hall floor, and in many of the exhibitor booths. With so many opportunities, it might be difficult to choose. But whatever you decide to partake in, one thing is certain: The knowledge you gain here will surely pay off once you return to your practice.

Photos/Fred Michmershuizen, Dental Tribune Ad There was a party going on at the Dentrix booth on Friday afternoon. Trays of drinks and appetizers were passed around, balloons floated in the air and attendees gathered to learn more about the Dentrix G5, the newest version of the practice management solution, which made its debut here at the Hinman Dental Meeting. Dentrix G5 includes many new features, including an enhanced technology architecture that builds on previous versions to deliver new levels of security, performance and stability. This includes a new SQL database and an improved software engine that increases reliability and overall performance. Here at Hinman To see a demonstration of the Dentrix G5, stop by booth No. 805. Current Dentrix customers will receive an upgrade kit, which provides insight into the upgrade process. With new encryption capabilities, Dentrix plays a key role in your efforts to stay compliant with HIPAA security standards. “G5 is the best and longest-tested program Dentrix has ever released,” said Howard Bangerter, product manager for Dentrix. “It is faster, more stable and allows clinicians to do their work without worrying.” The new electronic claims management capabilities save your office time by reducing manual data entry errors, eliminating rework and accelerating reimbursements. The new electronic explanation of benefits (eEOB) statement automatically creates ledger entries the moment remittance notices are accepted into Dentrix — without any extra data entry. With the integrated screen capture, you can quickly grab images from any source and use them for electronic charting, including validation of claims for certain carriers. In addition, with the G5, Dentrix is now a platform for running applications that integrate directly with the Dentrix database. With a newly designed architecture, combined with a robust developer program that certifies applications, Dentrix G5 has become an “open platform,” encouraging software developers to write applications for the Dentrix practice management system to share data with the new Dentrix database. Bangerter said that, so far, 40 companies have signed up to create applications to run with the Dentrix system, with dozens more waiting in line. Dr. Steve Drescher of Atlanta has been a Dentrix user since 1996. “I’m very happy with it,” he said. “It works great, it helps with productivity and with daily tasks. I can’t wait to get to the next level with the G5!” Dr. Steve Drescher of Atlanta says Dentrix has been a valuable investment for his practice.[7] => Dental Tribune Daily U.S. Edition | March 24, 2012 Mouthguards aim for gold Keystone teams up with the U.S. Olympic Water Polo Team Keystone Industries has teamed up with the U.S. Water Polo Team as its official supplier of mouthguards. The team will wear the new Pro-form Patriot Mouthguards during its pursuit of gold in the 2012 Summer Olympics. Pro-form manufactures the only premade laminated mouthguard material in the industry. This material has long been considered the leader in custommade mouthguards. By laminating two layers of soft EVA together, the laminate has excellent tensile strength. All of these features make the Pro-form mouthguard laminate the material of choice for custom-made mouthguards, according to Keystone Industries. Pro-form Mouthguards are designed and form fitted to an athlete’s mouth, making communication in the pool, on the field or on the court easier for everyone.
