n Most attendees at the Greater New
York Dental Meeting will likely agree
with Jerry Miller’s description of the
exhibit hall: “Overwhelming.”
Miller, a dentist based in Ogdensburg, N.Y., has been attending the
meeting annually for more than a
decade. “Every year it gets better — and
better organized,” he said. “You can go
online, study the day’s schedule and

identify exactly what to do and where
to go. In 10 or 15 years, you won’t even
need a pen; everything will be done by
computers — or, probably, all through
your phone.”
Miller said he hits the exhibit hall
with a list of what he needs, shops
around the first couple days and then
buys. At the top of his list this year:
bulbs for his curing lights.

Esthetics and implants take the ‘live’ stage
By Robin Goodman, today Staff
n The Live Dentistry Arena here at
the Greater New York Dental Meeting is usually standing room only,
and Monday was no exception. The
morning presentation by Dr. Franklin
Shull, “Everyday Esthetic Dentistry,”
focused on a long-term provisional for
a missing anterior tooth.
In the afternoon session led by Dr. Ara
Nazarian, “OCO Biomedical Presents
Simple Implant Placement in a Complex
Economy,” Nazarian placed an implant

and immediately provisionalized it.
Today’s options at the Live Dentistry
Arena feature Dr. Ross W. Nash in the
morning session talking about “Componeers.” He will explain how direct
composite resins are an alternative to
indirect ceramics, how the composite
laminate can provide final anatomy and
how placing direct composite veneers
saves time.
In the afternoon, Dr. Raymond A.
Yukna will demonstrate “The Laser
Assisted New Attachment Procedure
(LANAP).” Attendees will learn the sci-

entific basis for the LANAP procedure,
how to verify appropriate tissue interactions, what a laser wound looks like
and how to use the PerioLase MVP-7 for
LANAP.
Both of today’s sessions are recommended for dentists, hygienists, assistants and students, and each will last 2.5
hours. We recommend you arrive early
if you want a seat closer to the stage,
although seats farther back still have
great visibility of the work going on via
the large video screens on either side of
the stage.

Greater New York Dental Meeting — Nov. 27, 2012

By Ronald D. Jackson, DDS, FACD,
FAGD, FAACD
n In 1990, 94 percent of dentists
in the United States chose amalgam
as their primary intracoronal posterior restorative material.1 By 2010,
composite resin restorations had
exceeded amalgam by a ratio of 2:1. 2
In fact, it is estimated that onethird of U.S. dentists no longer use
amalgam and those who do report a
steady decline. This is not an indictment of amalgam, a material that has
served dentistry well for more than
100 years. There are many reasons
for this relatively rapid and significant change in restorative dentistry.
In this author’s opinion, the leading
reasons are:
• individual patient desires for
non-metal, natural looking restorations.
• the less invasive nature of composite restorations. 3
• the significant improvement in
composite resin material physical
properties, leading to increased durability and longevity, which, according
to recent clinical studies, can rival
amalgam.4,5
Nevertheless, many dentists still
complain that placing posterior composites is exacting, tedious, time consuming and not always predictable.

TODAY from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
in aisle 5000, room 3, Dr. Ron Jackson
will present “Direct Posterior Composites: A Rapid Simplified Placement
Technique” as part of the DTSC Symposia. In his session, he will discuss
how a greatly simplified and efficient
procedure for placing Class II composite restorations using new technology
could benefit your practice. The predictable, standardized system of placement achieves a significant reduction
in both time and effort when placing
these restorations.

Speeding up the process

Current composite resins now yield
high physical properties of hardness, flexural strength and fracture
toughness, as well as low shrinkage
and low wear. However, these highly
filled, highly viscous materials can
make it more difficult to achieve
intimate adaptation to cavity walls
and, because of low depth of cure,
require multiple, separately adapted
and cured layers.
Manufacturers have begun to
address this concern by introducing
new composite resins and technologies specifically for posterior use,
which allow dentists to place restorations faster and easier. Indeed, one
such product/technology, SonicFill,
by Kerr, eliminates the need for a low
viscosity liner altogether and, with a
depth of cure of 5 mm, allows rapid
restoration placement in the majority of posterior cavities in one, single
bulk-fill increment.6,7
This is accomplished because
SonicFill is a highly filled (84 percent
by weight), shaded composite resin
(B1, A1, A2, A3) that contains special rheological modifiers sensitive to
the specific high frequency vibration
provided by the sonic handpiece. The
handpiece fits most quick-disconnect
air line couplers, but universal adapters are available if needed.
Upon activation, the viscosity of

the composite drops 87 percent and is
rapidly extruded from the unit dosed
tip. The composite is literally vibrated
into the cavity and adapts intimately
to all cavity walls in the same manner
that mixed stone is vibrated into an
impression. Most cavities are totally
filled in less than five seconds.
Upon deactivation of the handpiece, recovery is not immediate, so
viscosity returns at a slower rate.
This intermediate viscosity makes
the material non-sticky and nonslump, so it can be easily and quickly
sculpted to accurate anatomy.
This author finds that from the
time the adhesive is cured, posterior composites (even relatively large
Class IIs) can be placed, cured, finished and polished in less than three
minutes (Figs. 1a–1d).
Placing posterior composite restorations is a significant bread-and-but-

ter service in most general practices.
With SonicFill, less time is needed
to place these restorations, thereby
improving practice profitability and,
at the same time, less tedious effort is
expended, improving practice satisfaction for the dentist.
For the second year in a row,
SonicFill (Kerr) has received the “Best
of Class” Technology Award by the
Pride Institute at the Greater New
York Dental Meeting.
Disclosure: Dr. Ron Jackson discloses that he acted as a consultant
in the development of SonicFill and
retains a financial interest in the
product.

How to ‘Perfect Your Online Presence’
Dr. David Evans talks tips and tricks of the Internet
By Kristine Colker, Managing Editor

About the author

▲
▲

n TODAY from 12:45 to 1:45 p.m. in
aisle 5000, room 3, Dr. David Evans
will present “Perfect Your Online
Presence” as part of the DTSC Symposia.
In his session, he will discuss
the various factors that influence
Internet presence and how dental
practices can attain “high Internet
presence.”
Evans talked to today about what to
expect from his symposium.
Dr. Evans, you are presenting a DTSC
Symposia session called “Perfect
Your Online Presence.” Would you
give us a brief overview of your
session?
Word-of-mouth marketing was the
most important thing for dentists
five or 10 years ago. Now, it’s different. People go online to check you
out. Patients associate wildly with
Google rankings. They also have
the perception where they associate
quality with where you appear in the
rankings. It might not be connected in
reality, but it’s connected in people’s
minds.
Has Internet marketing replaced
word-of-mouth (WOM) referral?
No, in a successful practice, your
WOM will always be a very important component of marketing for new
patients. Now, however, many prospective patients will research on the
Internet to support WOM referral.
When a prospective patient is considering dental work and receives a
WOM about your practice, the next
stop for the prospective patient is the
Internet, where he or she will peruse
your website to research your background, look at your before-and-after
photos and review your testimonials. Consumers also research other
places where you appear online.
A strong Internet presence, with
a captivating website, will enhance
the WOM referral and lock in the
new patient. On the other side, a poor
showing on the Internet can break a
great reputation and the WOM referral.
Also there are some cases, such
as when a prospective patient is
new to the area (and with the mobile
population, this number is growing),
in which the patient does not have
anyone to ask about a WOM referral. In these cases, a strong Internet
presence is the only way to get that
new patient. In balance, strategies to
boost the WOM referrals will continue to be important, but expect
Internet marketing to take a larger
and larger role over the coming years.
How can my practice’s website get
ranked higher on Google?
Keep in mind that Google ranks web-

David Evans, PhD, has been involved

1995. He has expertise in how consumers search for health-care information
online, the optimum design and construction of practice websites, website
search engine optimization (SEO) and
the strategic development for Internet

sites, not dentists. You can be the best
cosmetic dentist in the world, but if
your website is not search-engine
friendly, then Google will not rank
you on the first page in your market.
Google uses about 200 different
variables to rank websites. Convincing Google to give you good rankings
requires that your site is aligned with
these 200 variables. These variables
fall into two broad categories, on site
and off site.
In simplistic terms, the on-site
variables relate to your content and
the attributes on various pages of the
website. The off-site variables relate
to the links you have coming to your
site and how many consumers share
your site with others. The process for
obtaining high rankings on Google
and other search engines is called
search engine opptimization, or SEO.
How much time should I spend
working on my website and SEO? I
have a busy practice and can’t find
the time. What will it cost to get help?
You can save money on SEO and your
website if you write all of your own
content, build your website and perform optimization. These activities
could take 10 to 15 hours a week to do
properly. An effective SEO company
will charge a monthly fee, and then
your time is spent in the clinic working with patients, where you generate
revenue for your practice.
How do I choose the best website and
SEO company for my practice?
When choosing a website and SEO

company, it is best to focus on companies with experience in dentistry,
particularly high-end dentistry practices. Review their website portfolio
to determine if their designs fit the
image of your practice.
Most importantly from an SEO perspective, review the rankings of the
prospective company’s other clients
to see how well the SEO has worked
for them. The most efficient method
is for one company to handle both
the website and SEO, but this is not
absolutely necessary. If you already
have a website and/or designer you
like, then hiring a company only for
your SEO can work well. Also, many
website designers do not understand
or properly perform SEO, so it would
not be unusual to hire a separate company for SEO.
Also, make sure you understand
fully what you are buying when you
purchase a website. Many dentists do
not realize they do not own their websites, but instead they are essentially
leasing the website design, content
and hosting of the site. There are
two easy questions to ask a potential
website company to determine if the
website you are buying will actually
be owned by you.
• Will I own the copyright to the
website design and content?
• If I leave your services, can I take
the website to another company?
If you receive a “no” to either of
these questions, be careful. Many
factors determine how well a website
ranks on Google. But one big factor is
its age. If you leave a vendor where
you are leasing a site, then you lose
the site and you have to start over
from a longevity standpoint, a new
website can take up to one year to
rank on Google.
I’ve hired an SEO company. How do I
know if they are doing a good job?
The bottom line of SEO is rankings,
traffic and conversion. The top SEO
companies will boost rankings for
your website and modify it to increase
conversion. If you are not receiving
more leads from your website since
hiring your SEO company, it is probably not doing a good job.
What are the most important
components of a practice website?
Keep in mind that when prospective
patients visit your website, the question on their minds is “What is in it for
me?” Your website has two to three
seconds to capture the attention of
prospective patients and convince
them to stay there to learn how they
can benefit from your practice.
The key elements patients like to
see are testimonials and before-andafter pictures. These help visitors
better understand how treatment can
help them. They also want to see that
you have extension training and

education. And finally, educational
content about the procedures you
offer will help visitors to understand
the services they need/want, which
makes them more likely to convert to
a high-value patient once they visit
your office for a consultation.
Should I list my practice in a
directory?
Marketing research shows consumers are two-thirds more likely to
convert if they see you in multiple
places online. When visitors find your
website online, and then also see you
in a dentist directory, the likelihood
of getting that patient to visit your
practice increases dramatically.
The best directories provide a
place to post your before-and-after
photos, news items, testimonials and
your training and experience. Make
sure the directory offers an email
contact form for you specifically, a
tracking phone number and a link to
your website. Regular reports for traffic, email leads and phone calls should
also be provided.
If your directory listing can provide two to five consultations a year
and one high-end patient, then it is a
worthwhile investment. Revenue for
one patient pays for the listing, and
then that patient serves as a WOM
referral source for other potential
new patients.
Should I have a social media strategy
for my practice?
Social media is becoming more important, but it may not be for everyone,
as it requires dedicated staff time on
a regular basis. Facebook should be
the primary focus of any social media
thrust. Twitter, Pinterest, StumbleUpon, etc., are probably not a good
allocation of resources at this time.
To be effective, the Facebook
strategy should engage with current
patients with the focus being to get
them to share with their friends and
thus provide WOM referrals.
Most practices use social media
incorrectly. Constantly posting articles about treatments offered at the
practice or discounts on teeth whitening is a big turn off for patients. They
will stop visiting your Facebook page
and discontinue your alerts.
The proper strategy is to engage
with patients using articles they
would be interested in, such as information about back to school, a new
staff member or local news. Do you
and your staff participate in the
“Tomorrow’s SMILES” program or did
you do any volunteer work at the
school?
Also, consumers love contests and
voicing their opinions. Let your Facebook users vote on which local candidate or celebrity has the best smile or
have a content to submit the quote of
the month.

Greater New York Dental Meeting — Nov. 27, 2012

By George Freedman, DDS
n There are numerous dental innovations that make clinical practice better,
faster and easier. These are often relatively inexpensive and exceedingly
easy to implement. They increase efficiency, reduce stress and measurably
improve the bottom line.
Here is a sampling of products I
believe are in this category:
• The revolutionary DentalVibe
GenII eliminates the apprehensions
and fear associated with dental injections. Increased anti-pain power and
twice the amplitude at the vibrating
tip provide greater sensory nerve
stimulation, enhancing the painblocking effect.
DentalVibe’s VibraPulse technology stimulates the sensory nerves at
the injection side — effectively closing
the neural path gate, thereby blocking the pain of injections. Cordless
and light (less than three ounces), it
also has strategically placed finger
grips that make it readily portable.
Dental Vibe II delivers soothing,
pulsed, percussive micro-oscillations
to the injection site.
Try it; your patients will love it.
And so will you!
• The dental team is tasked with
performing regular cancer screenings for patients, and DentLight’s DOE
(DentLight Oral Exam) System makes
this potentially life-saving examination pleasant and fast. It helps
dentists and hygienists to identify
abnormal tissues that may otherwise
escape detection earlier than is possible with unaided visual examination.
The DOE looks and feels like a
portable curing light, with similar
intraoral access, only much more
versatile. DentLight’s patented lightgenerating technology, Fusion Curing Light, provides an outstanding
clinical output of more than 1500mW/
cm², with a high-power density over
an extended wavelength range that
provides worry-free bonding. Fusion
takes light curing to the next level.
• High-speed handpieces should
not be wobbly, loud and prone to
break down. This is where electrical
handpieces improve chairside life
immeasurably.
Bien
Air’s
Swiss-engineered
Optima MX2 INT, a very versatile unit
that offers pre-programmed modes
for all the main restorative operations
as well as endodontics, is a uniquely
controlled handpiece experience with
maximum utility in the practice.
The innovation is that the ultraquiet Optima MX2 INT is a true
all-in-one system; only two contraangle handpieces are required to per-

Profitable clinical techniques
you’ll want for your practice
TODAY from 2 to 3 p.m. in aisle 5000,
room 3, Dr. George Freedman will
present “New and Improved: Profitable
Clinical Techniques For Your Practice”
as part of the DTSC Symposia.
In his session, he will present an analytical summary of recently introduced
dental products based on clinical experience, including how to differentiate
affordable cancer-screening devices;
how to compare anesthetic techniques;
how to restore without damaging adjacent teeth and crowns; and how to
compare electric and air-driven handpieces.

form virtually all dental procedures,
increasing efficiency and decreasing
clinical time. If you are still utilizing air-driven handpieces, you might
want to consider upgrading your

operatory to bring it into today’s electronic age.
• Given the tight confines of interdental spaces and the dentist’s limited
visibility and access for preparation,

interproximal nicking of adjacent
tooth/restoration surfaces occurs all
too often. Directa’s FenderWedge protects adjacent surfaces from inadvertent iatrogenic damage.
Easy to position and comfortable
for the patient, the FenderWedge is
an excellent tool for truly conservative dentistry. The FenderMate is an
innovative one-piece wedge-matrix
(no-ring) combination that inserts like
a wedge and functions like a matrix.
Directa’s CoForm anatomical

multisized kit of preformed transparent celluloid matrices specifically designed to restore realistic
three-dimensional shape and form to
composite restorations that replace
incisal edges and fractured teeth.

Clinical benefits of the Inclusive
Tooth Replacement Solution
By Darrin W. Wiederhold, DMD, MS,
and Bradley C. Bockhorst, DMD
n With the new Inclusive® Tooth
Replacement Solution from Glidewell
Laboratories, the clinician receives
all the components necessary to
place, provisionalize and restore an
implant.
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. The
Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution
supports a streamlined workflow that
ensures predictability and long-term
success.
With this solution, experienced
and novice clinicians alike can place
and restore dental implants with
greater confidence than ever before.
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, including a
prosthetic guide, custom temporary
abutment, BioTemps® provisional
crown (Glidewell), custom healing
abutment, custom impression coping,
surgical drills and Inclusive Tapered
Implant (Glidewell).
On the day of surgery, place the box
contents alongside your usual surgical armamentarium. Confirm the fit
of the prosthetic guide prior to beginning the procedure (Fig. 1).
After placing the implant and verifying its position (Fig. 2), decide based
on the level of primary stability
whether to place the custom healing
abutment (Fig. 3) or 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.
Upon successful osseointegration,
the restorative phase begins. Contours of the custom impression coping
match those of the custom abutment,
so it’s simple to remove, seat the
impression coping and take an accurate full-arch final impression.
At final delivery, remove the temporary abutment. Try in the final Inclusive Custom Abutment (Glidewell)
and BruxZir ® (Glidewell) (Fig. 4) or IPS

needed.
In response to the dental implant
market embracing the importance of
soft-tissue contouring, Glidewell Laboratories’ Implant department has
now expanded the Inclusive Tooth
Replacement Solution to accommodate all implant systems compatible
with the Inclusive Custom Implant
Abutment product line. This creates
the opportunity for more clinicians
to offer their patients the advantages

Greater New York Dental Meeting — Nov. 27, 2012

A faster way to seal
n For decades, dentists and hygienists have had no alternative but to
use harsh phosphoric acid etching to
improve the bondability of dental sealants to enamel. In doing so, they have
lost countless hours to applying acids,
waiting, rinsing and drying.
With all these added steps, perhaps the greater issue is how many
failures have resulted from trying to
shortcut procedures? Indeed, working with phosphoric acid is always a
double-edged sword. If not left on long
enough, one risks failure; leave it on
too long and healthy enamel is eroded.
Thanks to advances in adhesive
technology and a new pit and fissure
sealant from Shofu, dental professionals don’t have to choose between a
secure bond and lost time and preservation of tooth structure anymore.
BeautiSealant from Shofu is a faster,
easier and gentler pit and fissure sealant system that completely eliminates
the need for phosphoric acid etch
and rinse steps, while still maintaining equivalent bond strengths to
acid etched competitors. Considering
these steps represent a 40 percent to
60 percent reduction in working time,
that extra productivity can go a long
way toward keeping a practice profitable. In these difficult economic times,
every liberated minute counts.

Fast application

The instructions for BeautiSealant are
simple:
• Apply the primer to a clean tooth
and leave for five seconds.
• Air-dry five seconds.
• Apply the sealant.
• Light-cure 10 seconds LED (20
seconds halogen).

Secure bond, gentle on enamel

BeautiSealant Primer contains dualadhesive monomers (carboxylic and
phosphonic acid) that thoroughly
penetrate and prepare pits and fissures for bonding to the sealant,
forming a chemical bond to calcium
in the enamel. Unlike traditional
sealants, which require phosphoric
acid etching, severely demineralizing and dehydrating healthy teeth,
Shofu’s self-etching primer is significantly less acidic, helping to preserve
healthy tooth structure.
Despite this lack of acid etch and
rinse steps and a HEMA-free composi-

tion, shear bond strengths remain at
levels that meet or exceed marketleading sealants at 19.5MPa.

Smooth application

BeautiSealant Sealant is an easy-toapply sealant, optimized for smooth,
bubble-free consistency. Achieve precise delivery without the common
issue of overfilling with a specially
designed no-ooze syringe and a tiny
0.27-gauge needle tip. This improved
control over the flowability of the sealant allows placement of just the right
amount of material, reducing the common occurrence of overfilling.

Sustained remineralization from
giomer fillers

Shofu’s proprietary Surface PreReacted Glass (S-PRG) filler particles
are not only pre-charged with fluoride during manufacturing, they also
recharge when fluoride concentrations in the mouth are high. Simply
put, household dental hygiene products, such as fluoridated toothpaste,

allow BeautiSealant to provide sustained remineralization benefits to
adjacent tooth structure over the life
of the sealant.
In addition to fluoride, S-PRG filler
also releases five other ions: sodium,
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.

Place BeautiSealant in four steps: Apply the primer to a clean tooth and leave for five seconds, air-dry five seconds, apply the sealant and then light-cure 10 seconds LED.
