today has been combing the aisles
of the show floor to see what’s new
and exciting. In no particular order,
here are a just a few of the many
highlights.
Sulzer (booth No. 5815) is offering
a number of auto-mix tips, including
the MIXPAC T-Mixer, designed to minimize material waste while providing
a consistent, high-quality result. Anja
Stouten, product manager, pointed
out the benefits of the compact design,
which incorporates a higher number
of mixing layers internally. The mix
tips are available in five different
sizes and feature distinctive, colored
domes.
Ritter Dental USA (booth No. 5215)
is launching a redesigned instrument
line here at GNYDM. According to the
company, the products are precisely
designed and manufactured from
German-forged stainless steel.
“Our new instruments are lighter
and better balanced than ever before,”
said Ritter CEO Fred Battah, in a press
release announcing the new instruments. “They are specially designed
to appeal to America’s ergonomically
conscious dental clinicians.”
Ritter’s instrument line can be
purchased in kits that have been
organized by specialty clinical applications, including diagnostic, periodontal, surgical, restorative, orthodontic and hygiene.
Dental practitioners looking to
remodel their practice with a fun,
customizable look might want to
check out Imagination Dental Solutions (IDS), a company that creates
themed environments.
“From colorful and bright to realistic and sophisticated, we can create
any theme. There is no limit to our
imagination,” the company boasts in
its literature.
The IDS booth (No. 2400) is hard
to miss. Just look for the bus with the
whale on top. (The whale is wearing
braces on its teeth.)
The above-listed offerings are just
some of the many finds available this
week here in New York. The exhibit
hall is open today and Tuesday until
5:30 p.m. and Wednesday until 5 p.m.,
so be sure to walk down every aisle
and take it all in.

DEXIS releases its photo app
By Robert Selleck, today staff
n
DEXIS used the Greater New
York Dental Meeting Sunday afternoon to announce the release of the
DEXIS photo ® app and the upcoming
expansion of its imaging products
to natively support Apple hardware
and the OS X operating system (10.8
or newer).
Adam Palermo, DEXIS product
manager, mobile solutions, was
one of three DEXIS executives who
addressed dental industry media representatives and other guests at an
event a half block away from the Javitz
Center — at Studio 5 facility in a solid
white room suggestive of an Apple
advertisement. Palermo prefaced his
remarks by sharing statistics on the
dramatic growth in the use of mobile
apps in dental practices, noting that 42
percent of DEXIS customers already
use them and 83 percent are looking
for additional apps to use in their practices. And the trend, Palermo said, is
in the use of Apple products.
DEXIS Senior Director of Marketing Carsten Franke said the imaging company already had established
itself on the PC platform, was now
quickly expanding its mobile platforms — and would soon be launching
DEXIS for the Mac.
Poorinima Gopalakrishnan, DEXIS
product manager, software, explained
the new Apple-compatible product in
detail, noting: “It’s beautiful. It’s elegant. It’s simple, and it’s an intuitive
user interface.”
Franke listed a number of awards
the company has recently received,
many based on product-review rankings by various dental media organizations, and he said DEXIS was committed to the development of clinically
meaningful uses for mobile devices.
Franke demonstrated how DEXIS
photo enables practitioners to send
photos directly into the DEXIS Imaging Suite using a newer-model iPhone
or iPod touch. Clinicians can frame
the shot and capture the photo right
into the patient record — wirelessly,
automatically and instantaneously —
without having to use cards, readers
or another manual transfer method.
Dental professionals can capture
patient ID photos that can be viewed
from any imaging screen in DEXIS,
or they can take and send images
for the software’s extra-oral photo
screen. Using the applicable mobile
device and DEXIS photo, these tasks
can be seamlessly performed when in
proximity to and interacting with the
DEXIS Imaging Suite software.
Additionally, the images are
securely stored within DEXIS.
DEXIS photo will be available on
the Apple App store at the end of
December. To find out more about
DEXIS photo, visit www.dexis.com/
apps. DEXIS Mac is under development and is pending regulatory
assessment and clearance. No orders
can be taken yet, but it is scheduled
to be released in the second quarter
of 2014.
Once released, the native OS X software will provide clinicians seamless
integration with leading Mac-based
practice management programs
Viive™ and MacPractice ®.
The integration between DEXIS
Mac, the DEXIS go ® app for patient
communication, and the just released
DEXIS photo app for extra-oral image
acquisition also will expand opportunities for the Mac-based dentist.
The apps collectively operate on iPad,
iPhone and iPod touch. Recognizing
the fact that both patient education

and case presentation is immensely
important, DEXIS Mac will support
both Mac OS X full-screen mode and
AirPlay® mode for presenting on larger
displays.

n This year promises to be an exceptional one for Crest Oral-B, as The
Procter & Gamble Company aims to
bring a fresh approach to its Greater
New York Dental Meeting booth and
reveal exciting updates to its products and programs.
The Crest Oral-B booth here in New
York offers an all-new experience that
provides a main theater presentation and hands-on demos, as well as
an interactive product counter and
a Taste the Paste area. At the booth,
attendees can check out the Oral–B
Deep Sweep Power Brush, which the
company says continues to “WOW”
consumers.
Also, this year is the third year of
the company’s successful Pros-in-theProfession program, and it now has a
new option for hygienists to nominate

themselves, if they so choose.
To learn more about all of the company’s latest updates, today sat down
with John Scarchilli, P&G Global Oral
Care Scientific Communications, for
a Q&A session to provide all of the
company’s news.
Thank you for taking the time to talk
to us today. Let’s start with what’s
right in front of us. Your booth is
attracting quite the crowd, and it
looks like you’ve made some changes
to it from past meetings. Could you
tell us a little about these changes
and what inspired them?
Of course. There are quite a few
changes vs. past years. We’ve really
focused on creating a best-in-class
experience for dental professionals
that results in a deeper understanding of how Crest + Oral-B partners
with dental professionals to help
improve patients’ lives. The all-new
experience is open and inviting for
professionals and includes an entertaining main theater presentation
and hands-on demos to showcase the
technology behind our products.
Additionally, we have an interactive product counter to drive handson engagement with our top technology and an iPad application that
includes education about our product
offering as well as a gaming feature
for attendees to enjoy.
We’ve also designed a Taste the
Paste area, which drives trial and
awareness of the variety of paste
options we offer, and we are providing
to professionals the opportunity for
photo opportunities with our Crest
+ Oral-B product characters or our
iconic, spinning globe display that
showcases the global presence of The
Procter & Gamble Company. Finally,
we, of course, wanted to “own” the
color blue, so our Crest + Oral-B equity
blue is brought to life throughout the
full experience.
The great thing about the Crest Oral-B
booth is there are a lot of things to
see, but what happens if someone is
running on a short time frame? What
do you suggest they concentrate on?
I’d highly recommend that if you’re
running short on time, you go through
the Crest + Oral-B innovation station
and main theater presentation. These
[15] =>
Greater New York Dental Meeting — Dec. 2, 2013
experiences will help dental professionals learn about our top technology, and they will hear our story
that brings to life how Crest + Oral-B
offers exceptional products and solutions that can help improve patients’
lives. To experience both, it will only
take about 15 minutes.
B Professional Care Series handles.
Second, our Crest Pro-Health clinical
gum protection product with stannous fluoride technology is proven
to reverse gingivitis in four weeks.
It does this in addition to providing
effective cavity protection and sensitivity protection.
Let’s talk about some of your
products now. Which products are
you focusing on for this meeting, and
can you tell us a little bit about them?
This year, we are highlighting a couple of great products and technologies in our booth. First, our Oral –B
Deep Sweep Power Brush continues
to “WOW” consumers. We call it the
“Power WOW,” referring to that thoroughly clean feeling people get when
they first switch from a manual brush
to the Deep Sweep Power Brush.
The Oral-B Deep Sweep power
brush head was designed to make
it easier for a manual brush user
to switch to power and get a better
clean, up to 100 percent more plaque
removal vs. a regular manual toothbrush. The size and shape of the brush
head is similar to that of a manual
brush and the deep sweeping bristles
move side to side to compliment the
way many people already brush.
The Deep Sweep brush heads are
compatible with any of our Oral-
There are a lot of companies offering
oral health-care products and
services, as we can see from just
looking around the exhibit hall. What
makes Crest Oral-B products stand
out from the crowd?
What makes Crest & Oral-B products
stand out is the depth of understanding and consumer research that goes
into our products.
For example, when we studied
how people are using their power
brushes, we found that while many
were moving the brush from one
tooth to the next, others were moving
and positioning the brush in a similar
way to how they would use a manual
brush. This inspired the Deep Sweep
head, which is designed to work with
the familiar brushing motion that
is ingrained in so many people. The
benefit is that manual brush users can
make the switch easier and get power
brush results.
Another thing I wanted to talk to you
exhibitors
about today is the Pros-in-theProfession awards program. For
those who might not be aware of it,
could you give us a brief description
of the program?
Pros-in-the-Profession is a program
sponsored by Crest and Oral-B. It is
designed to recognize, reward and
celebrate registered dental hygienists who go above and beyond the
call of duty to promote patients’ oral
health.
This year (2013/2014) is the third
year of the program, and the nomination period is currently open. The
contest period ends in February 2014,
with the last of four winners selected
on Feb. 15. Anyone can nominate a
hygienist for the program, and this
year, hygienists can even nominate
themselves. There are four winners
selected during the contest period.
One has already been selected, and
the other three will be selected in
December, January and February,
respectively.
In addition to a $1,000 cash
reward and exposure and recognition within the dental trade, the winners will receive an all-expense paid
trip to Oral-B’s Kronberg Innovation
Centre in Germany in June 2014.
They will get a behind-the-scenes
look at what goes into designing,
developing and testing the world’s
15
best power brushes.
This year, you’ve decided to allow
hygienists to nominate themselves
instead of being nominated by
others. What brought on this change,
and how do you think it is going over
so far?
We allowed hygienists to nominate
themselves this year because we’ve
seen so many brilliant stories in
the past couple of years of the ProsIn-The-Profession program, and we
wanted to ensure that our process
allowed for all stories to be captured.
We’ve been very pleased so far
with the quality of the nominations
and are continuously impressed with
the dedication and professionalism
displayed by registered dental hygienists.
If someone out there wants to
nominate a hygienist in their life — or
even nominate herself or himself —

Orascoptic puts focus on
‘head-to-toe’ ergonomics
By Oroscoptic Staff
n For more than 30 years, Orascoptic
has been designing and manufacturing award-winning dental loupes
with the goal of improving the overall
performance, safety and comfort of
dentists and dental hygienists around
the world. By introducing “head-totoe” ergonomics, Orascoptic plans to
become a new leader for the best ergonomic conditions in a dental practice.
Orascoptic’s vision is that every
health-care procedure in the world
will be performed with superior visualization, under the best ergonomic
conditions, to drive the best patient
outcomes.
The company is working to achieve
its vision through the research and
development of cutting-edge dental
technology. Much of the inspiration behind Orascoptic’s innovative

products stems from its willingness
to keep challenging the status quo
throughout the dental industry.
Superior visualization
The people at Orascoptic believe that
as long as health-care professionals
need superior visualization under the
best ergonomic conditions, Orascoptic will remain on the forefront of
delivering quality and cutting-edge
technology.
To learn more about the BodyGuard
Pro Saddle Stool and other Orascoptic
products, visit the Orascoptic booth,
No. 1608. You also can learn more
on the company’s website at www.

Orascoptic product developers are
aware of the specific needs of the dental industry and engage dentists and
hygienists to support new product
development.
By listening to and interacting
directly with customers, the Orascoptic research and development team
is able to understand the needs of
dental professionals and translate
those needs into award-winning solutions. The resulting products are
designed to deliver superior visualization while improving ergonomic
conditions that can help prolong dental careers.
Orascoptic recognizes the repetitive stress and strain that a dental
professional’s body is subjected to on
a daily basis. After supporting better
posture among health-care professionals for more than three decades
with magnification, it should come as
no surprise that Orascoptic is launching the BodyGuard® Pro line of ergonomic chairs.
BodyGuard Pro — saddle stool
The new Orascoptic saddle stool delivers an adjustable, antimicrobial seat
that is uniquely built for all dental
professionals.
The BodyGuard Pro stool allows
the clinician to move easily across
carpet or hardwood floors with set
casters; it reduces cleaning time with
the new Silvertex antimicrobial fabric and provides a custom fit for all
shapes and sizes. With four simple
adjustments, the stool reduces lower
back strain, provides an improved
balance point and encourages proper
sitting for dental practice.
The repetitive stress and strain on
a body can take its toll — and Orascoptic’s saddle stool is designed to help
dental professionals practice in comfort. When paired with the company’s award-winning loupes and LED
headlights, the BodyGuard Pro stool
puts dentists and hygienists one step
closer to the complete “head–to-toe”
ergonomic practice.
The Ultimatum — new frame for
Orascoptic loupes
Developers at Orascoptic not only
research and develop cutting-edge
technology for superior visualization
but follow the trends with frames that
are iconic and fashionable. Orascoptic continues its partnership with the
Italian designer Rudy Project and its
world-renowned craftsmen to release
the Ultimatum frame.
According to the company, the
Ultimatum provides a stylish design
that meets the high quality and functionality needed to perform everyday procedures in a dental practice.
This new frame is uniquely built for
the dental industry, meeting safety
glass criteria and available with side
shields.
Magnification – Loupes
With Orascoptic, dental professionals can experience the difference
that high-quality optics can make
when performing dental procedures.
According to the company, Orascoptic sets the industry standard with
the high definition of its loupes, which
are renowned for the strong resolutions they provide across a deep and
wide viewing field.
Orascoptic loupes help dental professionals practice in comfort. The
use of loupes has been associated
with decreased back and neck pain,
as well as reduced eye fatigue.
Orascoptic loupes are custom manufactured for your unique working
distance, angle of declination and
facial geometry. The company is so
sure that a purchaser of one of its
loupes will love it that it offers a
45-day money-back trial period.
All Orascoptic telescopes are also
backed by a lifetime warranty, giving you piece of mind and helping
to ensure that you will be enjoying
your loupes throughout your career.
Choose the magnification that is right
for you.
Illumination — LED headlights
To complete the “head-to-toe” dental
ergonomic practice, Orascoptic offers
the perfect companion to your loupe
system — an LED headlight. Its headlights will make it easier to navigate
your work area and see the critical
details that can be missed with the
naked eye. Dental LED headlights
provide shadowless lighting across
the oral cavity to enhance visualization, improve depth of field and
reduce eye fatigue.
Applying non-pulsating, constantcurrent technology, Orascoptic has
created the award-winning Endeavour headlight. This lightweight yet
powerful LED system features the
miniature “gum-drop” headlight
that delivers a high-quality focused
beam for better visibility, as well as
advanced “capacitive touch” controls.

NiteBite user
turns advocate
By Robert Selleck, today Staff
n Kim Stevens, RDH, MBA, OM, has
probably placed more NiteBite appliances than any other dental professional in the country. And it’s not just
because every patient she has given
the device to has found relief from
their bruxing.
The more likely reason is that

Ad
Stevens’ own lifelong battle with the
condition was brought to an end by
the simple device — turning her into
a credible and persuasive representative.
“Other devices just protect the
teeth,” Stevens said. “This one stops
the grinding. It puts the jaw at rest.
It’s a restful appliance.”
Representing the device’s supplier,
Keystone Industries, Stevens is in the
IQ Dental Supply booth (No. 2007) in
the exhibit hall — and she is ready to
show you how simple it is to custommold and place the appliance.
Stevens learned about the NiteBite
two years ago after one of the dentists
she works with in northeastern Missouri brought it back from a conference for his wife to try. It worked,
and the dentists encouraged Stevens
to try it. It worked for Stevens, too,
and she was soon recommending it
to patients suffering from grinding,
clenching, pain, headaches and jaw
joint syndrome (TMD or TMJ).
“I have not had one patient say it
doesn’t work,” Stevens said.
So many NitBites were being
shipped to the small Missouri towns
of Hannibal and Louisiana (home of
the two practices Stevens is associated with) that the product’s inventor
contacted her to find out what was
going on.
That’s how Stevens ended up taking her NiteBite advocacy national
(while continuing to work as a certified oral myofunctional therapist and
hygienist at the two practices).
With more than 50 million people (one in six) in the United States
experiencing symptoms of bruxing,
the market for an effective appliance
is immense. However, according to
Stevens, the other options rarely
provide actual treatment. NiteBite
is different, Stevens said, because of
its thin construction and placement
within the freeway space, which is
described as the distance between
the physiological rest position and
the first point of contact of the upper
and lower teeth.
The effect is that the muscles
relax — and people stop clenching
and grinding their teeth. Associated
headaches and tooth and jaw pain can
also disappear.

Photo essay: BruxZir Solid Zirconia
meets an anterior esthetic challenge
By Michael C. DiTolla, DDS, FAGD
n
This article illustrates recent
advancements by Glidewell Laboratories to improve the esthetic properties of BruxZir ® Solid Zirconia restorations. As the lab’s research and
development department refines its
processes, improving the material’s
translucency, the esthetics continue
to improve.
First appointment
We will replace the PFM crowns on
teeth #8 and #9 (Fig. 1) with BruxZir Solid Zirconia crowns (Glidewell
Laboratories).
First, we take the shade. I use
the VITA Easyshade® Compact (VITA
Zahnfabrik), which displays the
shade in both VITA Classical and
VITA 3D-Master ® shades. Next, I hold
the selected 2M1 3D-Master shade
tab to the tooth, along with the 1M1
3D-Master shade tab for contrast.
We photograph the shade tabs in
the mouth. I use an Ultradent syringe
to place PFG gel (Steven’s Pharmacy)
into the sulcus of teeth #8 and #9. Next,
I use my STA Single Tooth Anesthesia
System® device (Milestone Scientific)
to anesthetize teeth #8 and #9.
The Razor ® Carbide bur (Axis Dental) easily cuts through porcelain
and metal substructures, and when
used in combination with my KaVo
ELECTROtorque handpiece (KaVo
Dental), it easily cuts through the
existing PFM. I torque the crown
with a Christensen Crown Remover
(Hu-Friedy).
After using a periodontal probe to
ensure I have enough biologic width
to safely remove some tissue (Fig.
2), I use my NV MicroLaser™ (Discus
Dental) to remove 1.5 mm of tissue.
With the margins exposed, I use an

margins aren’t overextended and the
emergence profile is flat.
We use TempBond® Clear™ (Kerr
Corp.) to cement the BioTemps and
loupes to inspect around the temps
and gingival embrasures for excess
cement.
Second appointment
After two weeks, we remove the
temps and clean the preps with a
KaVo SONICflex scaler. After trimming the gingival margin with the
diode laser, I place an Ultrapak®
cord #00 (Ultradent), cutting the cord
intraorally on the lingual to avoid
any overlap. I place a second cord
(Ultrapak cord #2E) before refining
the preparation.
As I pack the top #2E cord on tooth
#8, the top cord on tooth #9 exposes
the margin (Fig. 3). Now we can begin
finishing the preps using a fine grit
856-025 bur.
Two moistened ROEKO Comprecap
Anatomic compression caps (Coltène/
Whaledent) are placed on the preps,
and the patient bites with medium
pressure for eight to 10 minutes. The
Comprecaps are removed and the top
cords pulled.
We syringe medium body impression material around the preparations for the impression and take a
bite registration. The temporaries are
then replaced.
Third appointment
After two weeks, the temps are off,
the BruxZir crowns are approved and
we place a layer of desensitizer on the
teeth (G5™ All-Purpose Desensitizer
[Clinician’s Choice]).
I use a Warm Air Tooth Dryer
(A-dec) after applying both coats of
the G5, while my assistant places
Z-PRIME ™ Plus (Bisco) inside the
crowns. We then load the crowns
with a resin-modified glass ionomer
cement (RelyX ™ Luting Plus Automix
[3M/ESPE]) and seat them, using a
pinewood stick (Almore International) to ensure they are fully seated
and the same length.
In this “after” picture (Fig. 4), there
isn’t any porcelain on these BruxZir
crowns.
I’m not suggesting you suddenly
switch all of your anterior restorations to BruxZir crowns, but you may
want to consider using it for patients
with parafunctional habits or old
PFMs, where an esthetic improvement is essentially guaranteed.

A new Giomer
bulk fill restorative
By Shofu Staff
n Bulk fill resin-based composites
are continuing to evolve and improve
in terms of quality and esthetics, but
despite their growing recognition,
many dentists continue to be wary
of embracing these newly emerging
products.
Recent laboratory research shows
their performance has proven to
be comparable to traditional multiincrement resin based composites. So
why not switch?
Obvious advantages are available
with bulk filling, including faster
technique, fewer incremental steps
that allow easier placement and
Ad
potentially less voids because of mass
placement.
However, on the opposite side of
the spectrum, there could more voids
present because of lack of control
when the material is placed at one
time.
Adequate contact, shrinkage
stress and polymerization in the
deepest portions of the restoration
are additional challenges that have
made many dentists concerned. Such
complications can result in serious
consequences, including debonding
of restorations, marginal gaps, discoloration, recurrent caries and patient
discomfort because of post-operative
sensitivity.
Thanks to advances in technology,
dental professionals are now being
offered a new alternative — BEAUTIFIL® Bulk Flowable, a bulk fill material with an innovative filler technology that addresses these legitimate
concerns.
strontium, aluminum, silicate and
borate, all with known bioactive
properties. When exposed to concentrations of lactic acid, these ions
contribute to an acid neutralization
effect that demonstrates the healing
benefits of Giomers.
Preventative properties
Depth of cure
Shofu’s new BEAUTIFIL Bulk Flowable incorporates Giomer, surface prereacted glass filler particles (S-PRG),
known to provide continual fluoride
release and high recharge when fluoride concentrations are present in the
mouth.
In addition to fluoride, S-PRG filler
also releases five other ions: sodium,
The Giomer (S-PRG) filler particles in
BEAUTIFIL Bulk Flowable provide
an ideally balanced light diffusion
and transmission effect that allows
the material to be completely light
cured up to 4 mm of depth without being too translucent, a known
shortfall of other bulk fill composite
material.
[23] =>
Greater New York Dental Meeting — Dec. 2, 2013
These unique optical characteristics are derived from the tri-laminar
structure of the S-PRG filler.
Incoming light goes through the
glass core but scatters on the surface,
allowing an outstanding depth of
cure and an opacity that matches the
surrounding tooth structure. Finally,
there is a material that can have
both complete depth of cure and an
esthetic, natural look when placed in
the patient’s mouth.

Flowable.
Polymerization shrinkage
and shrinkage stress
The hydrophobic nature of the
Giomer filler allows a dense distribution within the resin matrix, thus a
higher filler load with low viscosity
can be achieved with BEAUTIFIL
Bulk Flowable (72.5 width percent
and 51.0 volume percent), which helps
to reduce polymerization shrinkage
and shrinkage stress.
Test results reveal that BEAUTIFIL Bulk Flowable has the lowest
shrinkage stress amongst its leading
competitors. Lower shrinkage stress
can help to prevent postoperative
sensitivity, marginal leakage and secondary caries.
Mechanical properties
BEAUTIFIL Bulk Flowable was cut

surface of each point, outperforming competitive products, according
to Shofu, and also showed excellent
curing properties to ensure complete

Self-leveling feature
A fast, simple placement procedure is
enhanced with self-leveling properties for ideal adaptation in deep cavity preparations, according to Shofu.
The BEAUTIFIL Bulk Flowable selfleveling feature reduces the need
to manipulate material and further
contributes to the faster and easier
placement technique associated with
bulk fill restoratives.
The choice is yours
BEAUTIFIL Bulk Flowable addresses
dental professionals’ concerns and
overcomes the challenges associated
with the bulk fill materials that were

n Benjamin Franklin once stated
that an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure. In the case of preventive orthodontics, it can logically be
stated that an ounce of prevention is
worth 1.1 pounds of cure.
In a study of the Nite-Guide® preventive procedure involving 167
treated cases compared to 104 nontreated children, Keski-Nisula et al
(2008) found that at the end of the
procedure there existed 1.9 percent
remaining deviations compared to
34.1 percent in the control group. So
as a result, Ben Franklin was almost
on the mark when it came to preventive orthodontics (34.1/1.9 = 17.9/16
= 1.1).
This procedure usually involves
wearing a preformed appliance
called Nite-Guide (Bergersen, 1995)
only while sleeping to guide the erupting permanent teeth into an ideal
occlusion. Usually two appliances
are involved (Figs. 1a and 1b), and the
second and last appliance serves as
the retainer until about age 12. Once
the permanent teeth erupt straight,
the adult collagenous fibers form to
stabilize them, which can prevent
future relapse.
Because crowding of the lower
arch is the most common of the various elements of a malocclusion and,
because its orthodontic correction
typically occurs at about age 12, the
fibers are well-established by this
time and usually result in about 75
percent relapse post-retention (Little
et al, 1981; Little et al, 1988).
It is logical therefore, to concentrate on the developmental results
that are most applicable to the lower
arch. A graph (Fig. 2) of crowding
changes in non-crowded (Moorrees,
1959) and crowded (Bolton Sample /
Bergersen, 1966) non-treated sample
cases show that the major developmental increases in incisal crowding
occurs during the eruption of these
teeth.
Once they are fully erupted, they
retain the crowding during further
growth of the jaws to age 17. Both
groups start out in the deciduous dentition quite similarly; however, by age
8, after the full eruption of the permanent lower incisors has occurred, the
resultant crowding is considerably
different.
If a preventive technique were to
be initiated at the start of the incisal
eruption period, a result might occur
that would more resemble the noncrowded sample of Moorrees.
Can this increase in crowding be
predicted? Referring to Fig. 3, it is
easily seen that different degrees

of crowding occur depending on
whether a child has deciduous mandibular interproximal spacing, closed
contacts or actual incisal crowding at
4.7 years of age.
This observation of the mandibular
arch is probably the best predictor of
potential crowding of all the possible
variations according to statistics. Fig.
4 indicates the risk for crowding by
age 8 from the observation of deciduous incisal spacing at 5.7 years. Obviously, incisal spacing of 3 mm or less
will result in a future crowding risk
of 83 percent or higher, which would
be a strong indication for preventive
intervention.
Another significant principle is to
count the number of broken contacts
of the lower adult incisal area before
or during their eruption. Potential broken contacts can be predicted before
the adult incisors break tissue (Fig. 5),
and they do not self-correct as further
eruption takes place (Schwarz, 1932).
These broken contacts can predict
both the risk of crowding, stated as
percentages, as well as the amount of
expected crowding (Fig 6).
It should be observed that there
is little change in the lower incisal
dentition once the incisors are fully
erupted (Fig. 2). This indicates that a
preventive or interceptive procedure
should ideally be initiated as the first
adult incisor breaks tissue at around
6½ years of age. Once the teeth are
fully erupted, adult collagenous fibers begin their development in order
to stabilize these teeth.
Any attempt to correct crowding
after the full eruption of these teeth
has to deal with the resistance that
these fibers produce. An important
study (Sanin et al, 1973) indicated
that lower incisors that erupt straight
at age 8 remain straight 82 percent
of the time by age 14, and those that
erupted crowded at age 8 remained
crowded or increased their crowding
by 14 years of age 89 percent of the
time.
This research study is very compelling for early intervention in order to
obtain straight teeth prior to the collagenous fiber development for their
optimum retention. In conclusion,

n
Sulzer Mixpac Ltd. (Sulzer)
announced it has gained an order that
finds certain dental mixing tips made
by Shanghai NSJ Hardware Ltd. (NSJ)
infringe Sulzer’s Colored Dome trademarks and violate a prior injunction.
On July 11, 2013, the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New
York entered an order that confirmed
certain dome-shaped clear body mixing tips made by NSJ of China were
prohibited by a prior permanent
injunction and found NSJ in contempt
for continuing to sell them.
On Nov. 13, 2013, the New York
Magistrate judge also recommended
that NSJ be sanctioned for the violation of the injunction by ordering it
to pay damages to Sulzer and to pay
a fine to the court. NSJ is prohibited
by the orders from advertising, distributing, selling or offering for sale
the clear body mixing tips or any
colorable imitations of them in the

NOMAD Pro 2 increases durabiity, reliabilty
n For almost a decade, Aribex has
been quietly ripping the X-ray system
off the wall and putting it into the
hands of the dental team. Aribex
manufactures a handheld, completely mobile X-ray system called
the NOMAD.
According to the company, one
NOMAD does the work of multiple,
wall-mounted X-ray systems, which
can save the typical dental practice
thousands of dollars in equipment
costs. Moreover, because the NOMAD
enables dental team members to
safely and effectively stay with their
patients during X-ray procedures,
a bitewing series can be completed
in half the time required by a wallmounted system.
Unlike conventional wall-mount
and portable X-ray systems, the
NOMAD is lightweight, rechargeable
(battery-powered) and can go anywhere. Dental professionals around
the world have been choosing the
NOMAD as their preferred X-ray
device, in and out of the office,
with almost 13,000 NOMADs now in
use.
Building upon the successes of previous innovation and design, Aribex
recently introduced the NOMAD Pro

exposure, resulting in a higher level
of patient safety.
The I-Max Touch 3D flat-panel highdefinition sensor combines 2-D panoramic and 3-D images acquiring true
panoramic and cephalometric X-rays
— not just reconstructions — from the
3-D volume. The I-Max 3D offers an
enhanced field of view of 9-by-8 centimeters, enabling the entire jaw to
be imaged in a single exposure along
with 16 panoramic and cephalometric program view options for a more
precise diagnosis.
“The I-Max Touch 3D provides an
economic solution with high image
quality,” says Anish Patel, president
of Ashtel Dental/Owandy USA. “The
reliable, user-friendly system enables dental professionals to plan an
implant procedure quickly, accurately and effectively. The end result
is a safer procedure for patients with
better outcomes for the clinician.”
The I-Max Touch 3D is the evolution
of the I-Max Touch, a 2-D panoramic/
cephalometric unit with a long record
of success, according to the company.
By changing the sensor, and adding
SimPlant Pro 3D imaging/treatment
planning software, with a no-charge

reconstruction, the original I-Max
Touch 2D can be upgraded to provide
CBCT (3-D) images. The unit also is

NSK launches new products
in 2013, plans more for 2014
Engineers start with patient safety and handpiece efficacy, then keep improving
versatility, accessibility, visibility, maneuverability and practitioner comfort
By Robert Selleck,
today Staff
Ad
n
More than 17,000 individual
parts go into the production of NSK
handpieces, and close to 90 percent
of those parts are built and tested inhouse by NSK.
This total-control approach in the
Here at the GNYDM
Hold and test for yourself the new
handpieces released by NSK in 2013 by

be able to get a closer look at other
popular NSK handpieces and products
and learn more about products launching in 2014. It’s also an opportunity to
share your own clinical needs with
NSK staff (the result could be a product

manufacturing of its products is how
the company backs up its slogan,
“Expect perfection.”
According to Rob Gochoel, NSK
Dental director of sales and marketing, the company adheres to that
same “expect perfection” philosophy
in its commitment to product development. Key to that commitment
is the communications chain NSK
continues to build in North America
— linking dental professionals to NSK
product engineers.
Because NSK handles every step
of product development in-house —
research, design, manufacturing and
testing — feedback from customers
is quickly funneled directly to the
people who can take action.
“We’re constantly seeking out and
receiving feedback in our product
development efforts,” Gochoel said.
“It’s all about making dentists more
productive. Coming up with improvements that make dentists’ lives easier
— and make their patients more comfortable is key.”
In 2013, with the year still not over,
NSK has launched two major products. At least one more is expected to
be out before year’s end. And at least
two are far enough along that 2014
launches are already on the calendar.
Here’s a summary from Gochoel of
recently launched and soon-to-launch
major products and their release
dates:
• March 2013: iProphy Air — a handpiece designed for dental hygiene
work.
• May 2013: Ti-Max Z45L — the
world’s first 45-degree electric handpiece.
• October 2013: Ti-Max X450 series
— air-driven 45-degree surgical handpieces with an industry-leading twoyear warranty.
• January 2014: Ti-Max Z series — a
premium air-driven series.
• March/April 2014: a new handpiece maintenance unit.

Greater New York Dental Meeting — Dec. 2, 2013
iProphy Air hygiene handpiece
Launched in March, the iProphy Air
handpiece is designed specifically
for dental hygienists, with the core
design objectives being to minimize
hand fatigue, reduce noise, increase
versatility and simplify cleaning and
sterilization.
NSK literature describes the handpiece as having a slim and easy-tograsp design that is up to 15 percent
lighter and 10 percent shorter than
competitive handpieces. The design
incorporates NSK’s micro machining
technology to reduce vibration and
achieve “virtually silent operation.”
On the versatility front, the handpiece works with all standard doriotstyle disposable or metal angles and
connects directly to all four-hole
tubing.
A unique two-part construction
enables the handpiece’s nose-cone
portion to be separately sterilized for
proper disinfection and compliance.
Additional nose-cones can be bought
separately.
The design enables the handpiece
to swivel at the user’s fingertips for
improved maneuverability during
polishing procedures.
Ti-Max Z45L electric
contra-angle
Among the top requests constantly
being analyzed by NSK engineers
is this: What can you do to improve
accessibility and visibility when
working on hard-to-reach molars? The
company’s latest response, launched
in May, is the Ti-Max Z45L.
According to NSK, the handpiece
boasts two industry firsts: It’s the
world’s first 45-degree contra-angle
electric handpiece, and it has the first
two-way water spray function (mist
or jet, on demand). According to the
company, the overall resulting design
provides “effortless access to back
molars that a standard contra-angle
can’t match.”
The handpiece’s growing legion
of fans are finding that less time
is needed for sectioning and thirdmolar extractions compared with the
standard contra-angles — reducing
stress for both the clinician and
patient.
The ability to instantly shift
between mist or jet spray via a small
switch on the handpiece base, makes
it suitable for a range of procedures,
such as third-molar preparation and
clarifications of the root canal orifice.
The jet spray is used to prevent subcutaneous emphysema in surgical
procedures, and the mist spray cools
the bur while cutting. The handpiece
handles a wide range of burs, from a
20 mm standard bur to a 25 mm bur.
A clean-head mechanism is
designed to automatically prevent
the entry of oral fluids and other contaminants into the handpiece head
— prolonging the life of the bearings.
A microfilter prevents particles from
entering the water spray system to
ensure constant, optimum cooling.
The solid titanium body is 30 percent lighter than stainless steel, while
also being more durable and corrosion resistant.

Adjunctive device picks up where
conventional clinical exam leaves off
Tissue fluorescence
visualization detects
more than the naked eye
n Adding an adjunctive device to
your normal head and neck examination protocol helps to differentiate
your practice and may help attract
and retain patients. The added benefit
of seeing what your unaided eyes cannot means that your exams are more
thorough and any suspicions can be
quickly investigated for confirmation
of oral disease.
A recent study involved oralcancer screenings for 85 male and
female patients considered to be at
risk for oral cancer.
All patients were screened in two
ways: a conventional clinical examination, consisting of palpation of
the face and neck and a naked eye
inspection of the oral cavity; and an
examination of the oral cavity using
a tissue fluorescence visualization

technology to help detect abnormal
oral tissue.
The combination of the conventional and VELscope ® Vx exams
detected 13 lesions that were biopsyconfirmed to be either malignant
or pre-malignant, five of which
were missed by the conventional
exam. The tissue fluorescence exam
increased the number of cancerous
or pre-cancerous lesions detected by
62.5 percent.
The distinctive blue-spectrum
light of the handheld device causes
the soft tissues of the mouth to naturally fluoresce.
Healthy tissues fluoresce in distinct patterns that are visibly disrupted by trauma or disease, such as
neoplastic lesions, and fungal, viral
or bacterial infections.
According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, the high death rate associated
with oral cancer (52 percent mortality within five years) is due to the
cancer being routinely discovered by
dentists late in its development when
it has already metastasized to other
parts of the body.
Explained Dr. Edmond L. Truelove,
chair and professor of oral medicine
at the School of Dentistry, University of Washington: “I have found
VELscope to be a very useful addition to the diagnostic methods used
for the detection and management of
oral dysplastic and malignant lesions.
In the year that I have used the
VELscope, there have been several
occasions where its use allowed detection of malignant or dysplastic oral
lesions when clinical suspicion of the
lesion was very low or nonexistent.”
Coming tomorrow: What to look for
when selecting an adjunctive exam device

Villa Sistemi Medicali introduces
its Rotograph Evo 3D, a dental imaging system with three-in-one functionality: panoramic, cephalometric
and 3-D. The machine is based on
the mechanical platform of the Rotograph Evo, but adapted mechanically and electronically to operate
with the latest cone-beam technology, allowing 3-D reconstruction of
the jaws.
The core of the Rotograph Evo
3D is the flat panel detector (FPD)
using amorphous silicon technology
associated with the cesium iodide
(Csl) scintillator. Thanks to its ability
to work in either panoramic or 3-D
modality, pan images are acquired
directly and not reconstructed from
a volume. Because of this, the images
take the layout usually found on tra5

ditional pan units.
Villa Sistemi Medicali )
The unit’s 3-D field of view, at 8.5 x
8.5 cm, ensures the entire dental status of a patient is visible at a glance,
without the need to make different
exposures to obtain it. The result is a complete diagnostic tool that features
the most advanced technology but is as easy to use as a normal dental panoramic system.
The Rotograph Evo 3D can be integrated with a digital cephalometric arm
or upgraded at a later time, if needed.

polar_eyes
n polar_eyes is a cross-polarization
filter that makes it easy to eliminate
unwanted reflections on teeth that
are caused by a flash. These specular highlights can obscure details in
the teeth and cause problems when
communicating with the lab.
The sample photos show the typical reflections from a flash (without
polar_eyes) and the reflection-free
result when using polar_eyes.
The filter attaches to your macro
flash by small magnets. This allows
the filter to be quickly attached or
removed for patient photos.
The polar_eyes filter is available
to fit the following macro flashes:
Canon MR-14EX, Metz MS-1 and
Sigma EM-140DG.
A filter for the Nikon R1 macro
system will be available shortly.
