Get checked for oral cancer today
The Oral Cancer Foundation estimates
oral cancer kills one person every hour,
every day in the United States, and the
five-year mortality rate is higher than
cervical cancer and prostate cancer. However, when oral cancer is detected early,
patients have a 90 percent survival rate.
More people are being diagnosed with
oral cancer than ever before. But surprisingly, research shows this increase is not
because of the traditional risk factors of
drinking, smoking and using chewing
tobacco. Rather, oral cancer is now being
found in a younger population of men
and women because of their exposure to
HPV (human papillomavirus).
The FDA estimates 70 percent of cervi-

cal cancers are associated with HPV-16 or
18. New studies have confirmed a significant link to oral cancer as well. In the oral
environment, these manifest themselves
primarily in the back (posterior) regions,
such as the base of the tongue, back of
the throat (oropharynx), tonsils and tonsillar pillars. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends all patients older
than the age of 17 be screened annually.

The good news — when found early,
oral cancer patients have an 80 percent
survival rate within five years.
The bad news — only 27 percent of
those diagnosed with stage 4 oral cancer
will survive within five years because the
majority of these cases will be discovered
as a late-stage malignancy.
Early detection is the key to controlling
this terrible disease, and yet, the American Dental Association (ADA) estimates
that even though 60 percent of the U.S.
population visits a dentist every year,
less than 15 percent of those regularly
report having received an oral cancer
screening.
When used in conjunction with the
conventional intraoral and extraoral
head and neck exam, adjunctive lightbased technology is effective in helping
to uncover abnormalities before they become visible under normal lighting.
The Identafi® Oral Cancer Screening
System (made by DentalEZ and distributed by Henry Schein Dental) is a small,
cordless, handheld unit that is designed
for use in the offices of dentists, specialists and general practitioners to screen
for oral cancers and pre-cancers.
Unlike other fluorescent technologies
and dye systems, the multi-spectral device uses a three-wavelength optical illumination and visualization system that
allows dental professionals to identify
biochemical and morphological changes
in cells of the mouth, throat, tongue and
tonsils that are not visible to the naked
eye.

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

Handpiece manufacturer
aims for global leadership
TOKYO, Japan — It is no secret that
the years since the global financial crisis
have not been very kind to companies in
Japan. First, the recession slowed business investments significantly down,
then the negative effects of the 2011
tsunami and the massive destruction
it wrought almost brought the world’s
third largest economy to a halt.
For NSK, one of the country’s largest
dental manufacturers, troubles in the
home market are its least concern because the company conducts most of its
business elsewhere.
According to President and CEO Eiichi
Nakanishi, with whom Dental Tribune
International had the opportunity to
speak at the company’s headquarters
in Tochigi, more than 80 percent of the
company’s revenues are now generated
by its operations outside of Japan.
In the last three years, NSK has been
performing particularly well in mature markets such as Europe and North
America, where it boosted its presence
with the opening of its new headquarters near Chicago, despite unfavorable
conditions such as high market saturation and the ongoing decline of the yen
against the dollar.
Since 2009, Nakanishi has also seen
his company regaining its former market shares in Asia through centralized
distribution and after-sales support offered by its new subsidiary in Singapore.
Another significant contributor has
been NSK’s European office in Germany,
which accounted for almost one third of
the 22.2 billion yen ($278 million) in sales
the company reported in 2011.
“That is why economic conditions in
our home market have little or no impact on our overall business. We really
think globally,” Nakanishi explained.
According to the 48-year-old, who has
run the company since 2000, one of the
major reasons for NSK’s strong market
position, even in established markets, is
its dedication to innovation and quality,
combined with the excellent after-sales
service it is able to provide to customers
in almost every country except North
Korea. But this hasn’t always been the
case.
Founded in the 1930s, the company
had a rough start and operations were
completely halted during World War II.
Since the production of dental handpieces resumed in 1951, however, the
company has grown extensively and
now employs more than 700 people in
its Japanese offices in Tochigi and Tokyo.
NSK also still produces most of the
precision parts in-house, which, according to Nakanishi, is one of the reasons
that dentists now identify the company
with high-quality products.
“We employ many good engineers and
marketing people who help us to constantly improve our brand and make it
more attractive to dentists,” he said.

NSK still manufactures most of the precision
parts in-house.

Here in Atlanta
For more information on NSK Nakanishi and its
products, stop by the booth, No. 1557.
One of NSK’s most recent innovations,
which was launched at IDS in Cologne
in 2011, for example, is the Ti-Max Z series, a durable premium handpiece that
is purported to have the smallest heads
and necks in the industry, as well as an
exceptionally low noise level and virtually no vibration.
The Surgic Pro surgical micromotor
has also received much interest, particularly by dental implant surgeons. This
device is distributed alongside implant
systems by major implant manufacturers.
NSK asserts it pays close attention to
the needs of its customers, a philosophy
that has resulted in products such as the
S-max pico, which was developed solely
for the treatment of patients with smaller mouths, such as children.
Moving into other markets is conceiv-
able but unlikely to happen anytime
soon, according to Nakanishi. Even
though his company has begun to enter new areas in the last decade with the
launch of instruments such as ultrasonic scalers and polishers, its core business
will remain dental handpieces and other
small-motor equipment.
“When it comes to handpieces, we have
produced more innovations than our
competitors,” Nakanishi said. “Our goal
is to become the No. 1 company worldwide in this segment.”

The phenomenon:
A clinician’s perspective
The story behind
BruxZir restorations,
where they’ve come
from and where they’re
going next
By Michael C. DiTolla, DDS, FAGD
May 6, 2011, is an important day in dental history. That’s the first day dentists
prescribed more BruxZir® restorations
than PFM restorations.
At the time, BruxZir was 2 years old
and PFMs were 50 years old. Here at the
lab, it confirmed a trend we had been observing during those two years: The days
of the PFM being the dentist’s everyday
restoration were coming to a close.
The sales of BruxZir never dipped below those of the PFM again; in fact, the
gap between the two continues to grow
wider as BruxZir grows and PFMs continue to shrink.
Ten years ago, our R&D department
asked me what they should work on,
what kind of restorative material would
most benefit dentists and patients.
My answer was simple: cast gold in
shade A2.
They reminded me they were engineers, not alchemists, but I remained
undeterred in my push for a cast gold in
shade A2.
Five years later, they presented me
with BruxZir, an impressive effort at creating my request. Fast-forward five more
years to today, and it is clear they were
truly on to something big.
As the translucency and esthetics of
BruxZir continue to improve, it has transitioned from just a posterior material to
an anterior material as well, one that can
be used in almost any clinical situation.
The biggest reasons for the rapid
growth of BruxZir are high strength and
fit. As a monolithic restoration with no
porcelain on it, BruxZir has the lowest
fracture rate of any restoration (besides
cast gold) in our lab.
It’s clear that dentists place strength
very close to the top of their list of desirable characteristics for an everyday
crown and bridge material.
The most common comment we get is
about how well the BruxZir restrations
fit compared with most of the crowns
these dentists have used in the past.
Dentists notice the emergence profile
of BruxZir crowns blend with the tooth
structure and soft tissue better than
any material they have previously used
(again, with the exception being cast
gold).
Fig. 1: These illustrations show an ideal 1 mm reduction for an anterior or posterior BruxZir crown and also have feather-edge margins. BruxZir
does fine at 1.5 or 2.0 mm as well, but this amount of reduction is not always possible. By maintaining 1 mm of BruxZir thickness, this allows
you to safely adjust the crown if necessary when checking the occlusion. While BruxZir can be milled as thin as 0.5 mm, it cannot be adjusted
at this thickness without breaking at some point. With a BruxZir crown at 0.5 mm thickness with high occlusion, consider adjusting the
opposing tooth. Photos/Provided by Glidewell Laboratories
Here in Atlanta
For more information or to see BruxZir for youself,
stop by the Glidewell Laboratories booth, No. 1022.
The microscopic images (Fig. 1 and
Fig. 2) demonstrate how a high-strength
monolithic material (BruxZir) has a
much better emergence profile than a bilayered crown (PFM) on an identical prep.
This combination of fit, strength and
improved esthetics has made BruxZir
the most prescribed restoration in the
lab. The final frontier for BruxZir is to be
used for veneers, and with the translucency and esthetics improving monthly,
that day is not too far off.
Indications
BruxZir Solid Zirconia is indicated for
crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays and onlays. It is an esthetic alternative to PFM
metal occlusal/lingual or full-cast restorations and ideal for restorations requiring extra durability such as crowns
under partials or screw-retained implant
crowns.
The chip-proof durability of BruxZir
restorations makes them ideal for bruxers who have broken natural teeth or previous PFM restorations. BruxZir restorations are also ideal for patients lacking
the preparation space for a PFM.
Fig. 2: This represents the typical PFM prep
we receive with a conservative feather-edge
margin. When a PFM is fabricated for this
prep, there is a bulky 1 mm margin on the
PFM that catches on the explorer. Even if the
margin is sealed, the emergence profile is
unacceptable.
Fig. 3: This represents the typical PFM prep
we receive with a BruxZir crown in place.
Because it is a monolithic crown and can be
milled to a feather edge, there is no bulk of
material, or ‘speed bump,’ at the margin.
Dentists tell us their explorer cannot detect
where the tooth ends and the BruxZir crown
begins.
Preparation requirements
• Shoulder preparation not needed;
feather edge is OK. It is a conservative
preparation similar to full-cast gold, so
any preparation with at least 0.5 mm of
occlusal space is accepted.
• Minimum occlusal reduction of 0.5
mm; 1 mm is ideal (Fig. 3).

Not all handheld
X-ray systems
are created equal
By Joel Gray, PhD
The NOMAD handheld X-ray system. Photo/Provided by Aribex
Ad
As a recent article on www.dental
-tribune.com points out, there are some
safety issues with handheld X-ray units
made in China and
Korea and elsewhere outside the
United States.
There are two
sources of radiation from an X-ray
system — leakage
Joel Gray, PhD
radiation
from
the X-ray tube and
scattered radiation from the patient. The
leakage radiation is minimized by placing highly absorbing material, such as
lead, around the X-ray tube.
The major issue with the handheld
X-ray units is the scattered radiation —
that is, X-rays that are scattered from the
patient toward the operator.
In fact, about 20 to 30 percent of the
X-rays are scattered from the patient
toward the person holding the device.
The X-ray units from outside the United
States, which are under FDA scrutiny, do
not provide any protection from X-rays
scattered from the patient.
These systems look like a large camera you hold with both hands. There is
no shielding provided by these systems;
the user’s hands are exposed to all of the
X-rays scattered from the patient. Consequently, the user’s hands are going to receive a radiation dose that will probably
exceed the radiation-protection limits for
skin and extremities.
We evaluated one handheld X-ray unit
made in the United States (NOMAD, Aribex) and compared staff doses with those
for the same staff using conventional wallmounted systems prior to acquiring the
handheld systems (Gray et al. 2012).
This handheld system uses a proprietary shielding material around the X-ray
tube, resulting in leakage radiation levels
that are virtually immeasurable.
In addition, it has an integral leadedacrylic shield that protects the user from
radiation scattered from the patient.
The results of our study indicated the
users of the handheld X-ray system received lower radiation doses than they
did when they were using conventional
wall-mounted systems.
Buyers should be beware that not all
handheld X-ray systems are created
equal and not all of those being sold on
the web have been reviewed by the FDA.
Handheld X-ray units should have sufficient shielding to minimize leakage
radiation from the X-ray tube and an
integral shield to protect from radiation
scattered from the patient.
Here in Atlanta
To check out the NOMAD for yourself, stop by the
Aribex booth, No. 923. For information on the handheld X-ray study, visit www.aribex.com/wp-content
