Educational ‘touchdown’
Tuesday at the GNYDM
By Robin Goodman, Dental Tribune
n From the standard lecture style
of education to live dentistry, seminars, “lunch and learn” and hands-on
workshops, the Greater New York
Dental Meeting has every option covered among a wide variety of dental
disciplines.
No matter what your specialty area,
you are sure to find enough options to
make the decision-making process of
which session to attend a tough one.
Some of the most highly attended educational opportunities are the various
hands-on workshops in glass classrooms around the exhibit floor, the presentations at the Live Dentistry Arena
and the C.E. lectures available at the
Dental Tribune Study Club Symposia.
On Tuesday morning, Dr. Robert
Edwab led an eager group of students
in the glass classroom located in the
Education Hall during his hands-on
“Oral Surgery Workshop for the General Practitioner.”
Just across the hall at the Live
Dentistry Arena, Dr. Marilyn Ward
presented “Professional Tooth Whitening: Strategies to Take Advantage of the
Latest Whitening Technology,” which
was well-attended, as has been every
session in the arena.
Next door to the arena is the
Dental Tribune Study Club Symposia lecture hall, where attendees pay a nominal fee to attend an
ADA CERP-accredited C.E. lecture.
Tuesday offered up to six units of C.E.
for the six lecturers, which included
Drs. Gregori Kurtzman, Paul Goodman,
George Freedman, Fay Goldstep, Pedro
Lazaro Calvo, Stanley Malamed, Mic
Falkel and Enrico DiVito.
Today’s schedule offers another six
units of C.E. credits but also includes
the second Osseo University Summit
as well as the Laser Summit from 12:30
to 5 p.m.

How to treat patients with diabetes in the office
By Kristine Colker, Managing Editor
▲
▲
n Today from 10 to 11 a.m. in aisle
6000, room 3, Dr. Ira Lamster will
present “Management of the Patient
With Diabetes Mellitus: Considerations for Dental Practice” as part of
the DTSC Symposia.
This lecture will provide attendees
with a review of the epidemiology,
complications and clinical management of patients with diabetes mellitus seen in the dental office.
Lamster sat down with today to
share more insights into his presentation.
Your DTSC Symposia session is called
AD
“Management of the patient with
diabetes mellitus: Considerations for
dental practice.” Could you give us a
brief overview of your presentation?
My presentation will review the
importance of diabetes mellitus as
a health-care problem in the United
States, the clinical complications of
diabetes and a more in-depth discussion of the many oral complications of
the disease.
The presentation will also review
medical treatment for patients with
diabetes, and the implications of this
treatment when patients are seen for
dental care.
Lastly, the presentation will
review the concept of an expanded
role for dentists in the identification
and management of patients with
diabetes.
Are there any particular treatment
protocols you would recommend for
clinicians who are treating patients
with diabetes?
Diabetes is a common chronic
disease, with 26 million individuals
(some 8 percent of the population)
affected in the United States.
Patients with diabetes present
with oral problems, and the most
important oral complication is a
greater extent and severity of periodontal disease.
Untreated periodontal disease can
also be a risk factor for poor metabolic control in diabetes, so this bidirectional relationship makes this
a very important topic for dental
professionals.
When treating periodontal disease in a patient with diabetes, it is
essential that acute oral infection
be addressed. Further, periodontal
disease in a patient with diabetes
cannot be treated effectively unless
the patient is metabolically controlled. Therefore, dental professionals
must have a thorough understanding of diabetes mellitus, including
how patients are managed and what
tests are used to determine metabolic
control.
My presentation will review the
basics of patient evaluation and management. It is important for attendees
to have a general understanding of
diabetes as a spectrum of disorders and the importance of maintaining physiological levels of glucose in
the blood.
Your session is sponsored by Colgate.
How did you begin working with the
company and what is it that you like
about its products and services?
Colgate has funded an important
study to assess how dentists can
become more involved in the identification of undiagnosed diabetes. This
was a very forward-thinking decision
on the company’s part and reflects its
willingness to participate in discussions about the future of the dental
profession.
Further, Colgate has an interest in
oral care products that aim to reduce
oral inflammation, and controlling
oral inflammation is essential for
patients with diabetes mellitus.
If there is one thing you hope
attendees to your session walk
away with, what would it be?
Attendees should leave the lecture
with an appreciation of the importance of diabetes as a health-care
problem in the United Sates and a
better understanding of how patients
with diabetes mellitus should be managed in the dental office.

All-ceramic treatment options
n Dentists see, hear or receive information about all-ceramic crowns and
bridges every day. Are the days of
porcelain fused to metal over? There
is now systematically reviewed data
showing that all-ceramic systems are
no longer experimental; they are suitable for routine utilization in practice.
There are various all-ceramic options
available and numerous techniques
to place them. Furthermore, there
are materials to fix a ceramic chip or
fracture.
Crowns and bridges have evolved
over time. All-gold restorations,
developed a century ago, are still
considered by many to be the “gold”
standard, functioning successfully
for decades. They may not look natural, but they never chip or break. The
first esthetic option was to process
resin to the labial surface.
Esthetically acceptable when
placed, they yellowed and wore over
time. Occasionally the veneering
resin pops off but can be readily
repaired with light-cured bonding
materials (Fig. 1).
Porcelain fused to a metal substructure (PFM) was the next major
cosmetic advance. A successful PFM
mimics the natural tooth. The challenge is to hide the metal under the
porcelain with opaque.
As well, the subgingival metal gingival margin becomes exposed with
time. The gingival “black line” and to
the challenge of masking the metal
substructure encouraged the development of all-ceramic restorations.
Patients expect their crowns to
look natural and to stand the test of
time. Current all-ceramic crowns and
bridges can meet and exceed their
expectations. Practitioners have
choices. Clinical success requires the
ability to select the proper material:
glass ceramic, particle filled glass,
or a tooth-colored poly-crystalline
ceramic. There are a few basic concepts to remember: the stronger and
harder the material, the more opaque,
less translucent.
Every manufacturer provides
cementation protocols, the majority
require bonding. Glass or particlefilled ceramics must be etched with
hydrofluoric acid (HF) to enhance
mechanical retention and then
silaned. Polycrystalline materials
(zirconia or alumina) are primed
with an acidic phosphate ester (MDP)
or sprayed with silica (Siljet, Danville Materials, San Ramon, Calif.) to
improve retention.
The cementation protocol for allceramic crowns can be essential
for success. Tribochemical treatment
(Siljet) of polycrystalline zirconia
and non-silica ceramic substantially
increases their bond strengths to the
resin cement.
This has tremendous implications
and applications for dental treatment.

Case presentations
A patient presented with a porcelain
fracture involving the incisal edge of
tooth #7 (Fig. 2). A tapered diamond
bur feathered the porcelain fracture
into the incisal third of the crown.
The roughened surface was then
microetched at 40 psi with 50 micron
aluminum oxide powder, rinsed and
dried. Siljet tribochemical application (Fig. 3) with the microether
fine tip at 40 psi was followed by rinsing and silanation of the porcelain
surface as directed by the manufacturer. Tooth #7 was then restored
using standard bonding and finish-
ing techniques (Fig. 4).
The patient required root canal
therapy and the access was through
the occlusal surface of a porcelainfused-to-metal crown (Fig. 5.)
Following the completion of endodontic treatment, the porcelain and
metal were treated with Siljet and
bonded to seal off the access cavity,
providing an excellent and esthetic
seal (Fig. 6).
Dentists have been able to predictably bond to glass silica-based ceramic
crowns by etching with hydrofluoric
acid, silanating and bonding. Predictable bonding to metal and polycrystalline base materials have long been
contentious clinical issues. Tribochemical treatment with Siljet solves
this problem, offering the practitioner
excellent adhesion to Zirconia, Alumina, meta and many other restorative surfaces.

Greater New York Dental Meeting — Nov. 30, 2011
Champions Implants: an ideal
solution for the general dentist
By Armin Nedjat, DDS
n Given the great success and ease
of use of the Champions one-piece
implant system, the question of
why the development of a two-piece
implant system was necessary has
been raised.
More than 2,000 dentists and clinics have found the one-piece system
provides great results, particularly
when used with Prep-Caps, which
compensate for any insertion divergences. So, why the addition of a twopiece system?
While it is true that the one-piece
Champions implant system represents a major design breakthrough,
the development of the new two-piece
Champions (R)Evolution® allows the
implants to be used on those patients
who cannot be treated with the onepiece system (in some dental offices
the percentage of patients whose
condition is unsuitable for treatment
with the one-piece system may reach
as high as 20-30 percent).
Additionally, some dental surgeons, for whom temporary prosthodontic restorations are not an area of
expertise, will find it easier to work
with the two-piece implants, which
often make these temporary restorations unnecessary.
The two-piece Champions offer
all the same advantages provided
by the one-piece system. Produced
in Germany of the highest quality
materials, the new system remains
affordable for dental offices, dental
technicians and, most of all, for our
patients!
While traditional two-piece
implant systems have had problems
with micro-gaps, which are vulnerable to bacterial penetration, the
two-piece Champions (R)Evolution
solves this problem with our newly
developed, patent-pending inner
cone with its rotation-proof “Hexadapter.”
The implant has a micro-close gap
of only about 0.6 μm. In addition,
these two-piece implant types are
suitable for the minimally invasive
method of implantation, (MIMI® procedure), which is also used with our
one-piece implants.
With this method, only a few dental tools are necessary for implantation, greatly reducing dental office
expenses. The temporary prosthodontic restoration, which is necessary for one-piece implants for single
teeth in the first two to eight weeks
post surgery, is no longer absolutely
necessary when two-piece implants
are inserted.
The success story of the nontraumatic key-hole surgery MIMI
Figs. 1–5: The two-piece Champions (R)Evolution implant with the specially designed integrated ‘Trans-Gingiva Shuttle.’ This
implant type is inserted minimally invasively. The ‘Trans-Gingiva Shuttle’ usually stays on the implant. Six weeks post-surgery,
the impression coping is then clipped while the ‘Shuttle’ stays in the mouth. The time-consuming exposure and the screwing and
unscrewing of closing caps, healing caps or impression copings are not necessary. The impression coping is set in the ‘Shuttle’ of
the laboratory analog, and the master cast is made with a gingiva mask.

surgery and to set the metal matrices of the tulip-headed Champions Implants in an available prosthesis within just one day.

surgeons will find it easier to
work with the two-piece
implants, which often
make temporary restorations
unnecessary.’
will continue. Dentists will be able
to incorporate the implantation with
this Champions (R)Evolution system
in their day-to-day work in dental
offices.
Surgical procedure
After taking the implant out of the
box, this two-piece implant type
— like the one-piece Champions ®
implant — can be inserted without
the need to touch the sterile implant.
Thus, a contamination of the implant
surface is avoided.
However, we do not just insert the
implant itself, but also the integrated
“Gingiva-Shuttle,” which is delivered with the implant and is tightly
screwed to the implant at a torque of
5–10 Ncm. In this way, there is

Fig. 9: The Champions (R)Evolution inner conus with the integrated
‘Hexadapter’ allows the micro-gap to be
smaller than < 0.6 μm and the abutment
to be rotation proof.

When inserting the Champions
(R)Evolution implant in practice, you
implant the “Gingiva Shuttle” and
… that’s all! There is no closing cap
where you see bleeding or gingivacontaminated inner threads.
It is generally recommended that
you should always begin to implant
with a 3.5 mm-diameter implant to
achieve primary stability, even if
an implant with a bigger diameter
might eventually be suitable for the
bone width.
From a bio-physiological point of
view, it is not recommended that you
begin to implant with a 4.5 mm diameter implant or a 5.5 mm-diameter
implant right away.
The 4.5 mm-diameter or 5.5 mmAD
diameter Champions (R)Evolution
implants should only be inserted if
primary stability cannot be achieved
with a 3.5 mm-diameter Champion at
a torque of at least of 30 Ncm (in
the D4 bone or sometimes in the D3
bone).
Fortunately, incisions of the
mucosa or bone augmentation can
usually be avoided when you perform
an implantation according to the
MIMI procedure.
However, this does not mean
that an incision of the mucosa, an
open or closed sinus lift or a bone
augmentation will never have to be
performed!
Additionally, other healing caps
than those that are delivered with
the implant (with a height of 3 mm)
are available.
Greater New York Dental Meeting — Nov. 30, 2011
Prosthodontic procedure
Usually, some six weeks post-surgery,
you click the impression coping to the
“Gingiva-Shuttle,“ which stays in the
impression material. With a gingiva
mask and a (two-part) laboratory analog, the master model is created by a
dental laboratory.
The abutments for our implant system have the following design: the
abutment have an inner conus with
an integrated patent-pending “Hexadapter,“ which ensures rotation protection. The platform with the inner conus
is always the same for each diameter,
whether you insert a 3.5 mm-diameter
(R)Evolution implant, a 4.5 mm-diameter one or a 5.5 mm-diameter one.
Conclusion
One of the best periimplantitis prophy-
laxes is an intra-operative flapless
implant treatment without a mucoperiosteal (especially buccal) flap.
The very small micro-close gap of
less than 0.6 μm and the screw and
abutment design (“Platform Switching“) have proven successful for years.
Moreover, due to the fact that the
total treatment costs are reduced by
50 percent, more patients can afford
this implantation treatment and. High
prices and low-quality would mean
fewer patients!
The
Champions
(R)Evolution
implant is one of the first two-piece
implants that can be inserted according to the painless and uncomplicated
“key-hole“ MIMI implantation method.
MIMI will remain the implantation
method of the future. This two-piece
implant type will (r)evolutionize the
daily routine of dentists and dental
technicians!

for Flight’s chair system has made the
company one of the fastest growing
dental product companies in North
America.
Founded in 2004 in Canada, Flight’s
chair systems seemed perfectly timed
to serve a strong demand from a variety of customers. Its chair systems are
in use in major clinics with as many as
50 operatories, in schools and singlepractitioner offices.
“We’re still a small company,” Hui
said, “and that enables us to be
extremely responsive with our customers. We’re constantly improving

Let your patients take their
new smiles for a test drive
n The decision to pursue ceramic
dental restorations is a major one for
most patients. There may be a concern
that the results will turn out to be
different from what the patient imagined — or perhaps the patient simply
cannot picture the vast improvement
to appearance that a well-designed
dental restoration can create.
Think how much more confident
patients would be if they experienced
their new smiles before they decided
to proceed with the actual restoration process. That experience is now
available with PreNew PreView ®, an
innovative new technology that lets
your patients “test-drive” their new
smile in person.
Built from a simple study model,
PreNew PreView is a smile preview
that fits over patients’ existing teeth
to show them just how great they are

dental restoration is complete.
The pioneer of this technology
is Master Ceramist Jason J. Kim,
who is recognized worldwide as a
leader in the field of esthetic dental
restoration and is the founder of
Jason J. Kim Dental Aesthetics.
How does PreNew PreView
work?
PreNew PreView is a simple, two-step
process.
• Step one: During the patient’s first
visit to the dentist, a study model
is taken, along with two photos
(smile with lips and full-facial
smile). These are sent to the lab at
Jason J. Kim Dental Aesthetics.
• Step two: During the second visit,
the dentist applies the new look
over the patient’s existing teeth.
There’s no drilling and no pain.
The patient will get to experience a
realistic preview of his or her new
smile.
This first-hand look boosts the
patient’s confidence about the dental
restoration process and adds certainty to his or her decision to proceed. PreNew PreView is a unique
way to intrigue and captivate current
and potential clients who may be
considering dental restorations, and
a marketing tool that provides dentists with an exclusive platform from
which to increase revenue.
There will be on-site demonstrations of PreNew PreView at the Jason
J. Kim Dental Aesthetics Booth, No.

Trade in
and trade up
Now, you don’t have to be
stuck with a system that
isn’t working for you
n Not all dental equipment is created
equally. But when dentists realize
that — even after they have implemented a system that does not live up
to their expectations — often they feel
like they just have to learn to live with
the mistake they made.
Now, DEXIS gives dentists a chance
to trade in their working sensors, even
from other companies, and replace
them with the DEXIS Platinum, a comfortable single-sensor system that
delivers clear, crisp, highly detailed
images.

system. Although unhappy with the
quality of the images and the comfort
of the sensor from the outset, he felt
that once the choice was made, he
was stuck.
When he heard about DEXIS’ tradein program, he jumped at the chance
to trade up to DEXIS sensors.
His staff was impressed with the
quality construction and image quality of the new sensors, and it was
soon evident that patients were very
pleased with the comfort.
“They were so comfortable that we
were able to throw out our edge pads
we had to use with our old sensors,”
said Dr. Barth.
Soon, the staff was taking a full
mouth series in nearly half the time
because of the sensor’s ergonomic
design.
The staff also appreciated the
direct USB connection that eliminated the hassles of keeping track of
docking stations or card readers.
In addition, “the one-size is so convenient. We don’t have to worry about
what size to grab,” said office team
member Erin Burch.
Whether you are a film or sensor
user, the DEXIS Platinum system’s
notable image quality and the DEXIS
Trade-In program are two opportunities for you to own and enjoy quality
and efficiency in digital X-ray now
and for years to come.
‘The one-size is so
convenient. We don’t
have to worry about
what size to grab.’

Guru patient communication
suite increases case acceptance
By Fred Michmershuizen
Dental Tribune
Have you ever tried to explain the
pros and cons of bridgework vs. an
implant to a patient with a missing
tooth, only to be met with a blank
stare? Or have a grown man turn pale
when you tell him he needs a root
canal? What about a young patient
who is terrified of that drill in your
hand?
If you are like most dentists, you
probably encounter situations like
these on a daily basis.
Thankfully, there are patient communication tools available to help.
Take the all-new Guru 5 patient communication suite, for example. Guru
is designed to address these and
many other challenges head-on.
To call it “patient education software” would be a disservice, says one
of the folks behind Guru 5, Rick Henriksen, president of Reality Engineering. The suite features customizable
AD
With Guru, a
dentist can integrate
his or her patient’s
own images into an
educational
presentation, says

communication tools that can be used
in the reception area, in the operatory
— or even e-mailed to the patient at
home. What sets this program apart,
Henriksen said, is that the dentist can
integrate the patient’s own images
into the educational presentation.
Working with Guru, the dentist can
create various types of presentations
to facilitate communication, including not only the patient’s own digital
images and information but also with
the option for 200 original 3-D images
and animations. In person, the dentist can stop at any time and answer
questions. The clinician can also create personalized presentations and
record explanations in his or her own
words.
Then, the presentation can be
e-mailed to the patient’s home computer, so that family or close friends
can share in the oral care decisionmaking.
Digital workflow can be expanded
further by implementing 3-D CBCT
imaging, such as i-CAT, and intra-oral
scanning and restoration milling, as
with E4D — highly useful tools all
made possible by digital technology.
For young patients, Guru includes
the Brusher Bailey Ed-Venture series
— a comprehensive program that is
just as much fun as it is educational.
Using a series of entertaining, stateof-the-art animation episodes, online
games, matching coloring books and a
merchandise package, Brusher Bailey
is designed to have kids actually looking forward to going to the dentist.
This makes a big difference in the
dental practice, said Jason Mulcahy
of Guru.
But perhaps the biggest benefit
of all, he says, is the increased case
acceptance that dentists who have
incorporated Guru into their practices have reported.
“Especially with implant planning,
one of the focuses of my practice, the
program shows the patient that I am
committed to doing this procedure
right, with the peace of mind that my
equipment is state-of-the-art,” said
Justin Moody, DDS, who uses Guru
technology in his practice.
“The presentation with Guru is not
the ‘canned’ response that they may
have seen at another practice. I can
start and stop the presentation if the
patient wants to ask a question.”
Mouthguards aim for gold

Internal flowables get proactive
By Douglas Brown, DDS, FAGD
n Theracal™ LC is dentistry’s first
light-cured flowable resin containing
the “apatite stimulating” calcium silicates. It is the first of a new proactive
class of internal flowables to serve
in protecting and revitalizing pulp
tissue and will be described by the
profession as a RMCS, or resin modified calcium silicate.
Resin modified glass ionomer
(RMGI), to date, is the most popular
material used for this purpose but is
too acidic to be placed directly onto
pulps and lacks many of the pulpalprotecting properties that the tooth
needs and dentists want. RMCS will
be dentistry’s “new hero” for this
protocol.
Protecting the pulp is the utmost
responsibility of the clinician. “Seal
to heal” is the goal of effective dentin
protection. Theracal is “apatite at our
fingertip,” making it ideal for direct
and indirect pulp capping and, most
importantly, as a pulpal protective
liner/base under composites, amalgams and as an interactive flowable
when incorporated with crown preparations.
Calcium Silicates (MTA), the active
ingredients of Theracal LC, are backed
by many years of research showing their effectiveness. Therefore,
TheraCal LC is a natural replacement
to calcium hydroxide, glass ionomers,
RMGI and IRM/ZOE because of its
interactive properties.
Clinically, rapid/effective delivery
of calcium for repairing/healing dentin has been observed. The significant
calcium release:
• provides reparative ions,
• creates a sustaining alkaline
environment required to promote
wound healing,
• provides immediate bond and sealing properties, and
• stimulates hydroxyl-apatite and
secondary dentin formation within
affected tissues.

Here in New York
For more information on Bisco products, stop by the company’s booth, No.
1601.
Theracal is dispensed directly onto
affected moist tissues from a flowable
syringe; no mixing, clicking or triturating and it is light curable in 1 mm
increments.
The effectiveness of calcium
release is not diminished by prior
application of bonding agents.
Theracal LC (RMCS) processes the
physical properties required under
all placement conditions:
• Relatively insoluble to etching and
water as compared to CaOH.
• Significantly greater immediate
bond strengths comparing to RMGI
and CaOH containing materials.
• Light-cured rapid polymerization
set compared to other slow setting
MTA materials.
Being an interactive flowable resin
onto dentin, Theracal LC is guaranteed to withstand the physical
compressive stresses of occlusion
and when placed under amalgams,
will be relatively insoluble to penetration.
Theracal LC has been approved as
“apatite stimulating” by the FDA and
is the first of its kind RMCS interactive flowable resin.
Theracal provides the sustained
alkalinity required of healing. It is
self-sealing, which aids in antimicrobial activity with initial bonds to
dentin to resist accidental air drying
removal.
The impressive calcium release
has been shown to be crucial to
the promotion of apatite formation,
dentin bridge formation and to the
re-apatite potential of affected dentin
and the mechanical sealing of the
pulp (without adhesive).
Theracal LC is apatite at a fingertip! Proven solutions with practical
pricing — Bisco, be exceptional!

Intensive hands-on surgery courses
for professionals and newcomers
n Since 2003, the Trinon Collegium
Practicum has assisted more than
2,000 surgeons in placing more than
40,000 implants in practical courses,
helping them to develop their practical skills.
The courses are conducted by experienced international surgeons, providing implantology newcomers with
advice and assistance in inserting 30
implants in five days. Professionals
can expect to conduct difficult operations ranging from sinus elevations
to highly complicated grafting cases
with assistance from internationally
recognized surgeons.
The one-week hands-on course
gives the opportunity to collect
practical experience in implantology, pre-implantological treatment
and extremely complicated cases
under supervision of a team of highly
skilled tutors.

713, in the German pavilion.
The courses are based on collaboration between the Trinon Collegium
Practicum and established university clinics in the Dominican Republic, Cambodia and Laos.
The first Q-Implant Marathon in
Cuba was born from an idea to give
surgeons the opportunity to quickly
gain in-depth experience in implantology by directly working with the
patient.
In addition, there was a common
understanding that practical educa-
tional seminars for surgeons were
not being offered, and this resulted in
a lack of experience and a hesitation
while inserting implants.
Course curriculums
• Beginner course: You will gain
basic
practical
experience
in implantology by placing 30
implants while acting as the main
surgeon, under the supervision
of the teacher. Furthermore, you
will participate in approximately
60 operations by assisting other
colleagues in the group. You will
receive an introduction to the
basics of bone augmentation and
reconstruction, and you can take
part in training for prosthetic
treatment.
• Advanced I course: You will
expand on your practical experience by learning different implan-
tation techniques and practice
insertion in difficult cases. You
will make the following operations: sinus-lift while acting as the
main surgeon and assistant, bone
augmentation and management of
complications.
• Advanced II course: You will expand
on your practical experience by
treating extreme implantological
cases. You will also participate in
big sinus-lift operations with autologous bone, learn bone-harvesting
techniques and onlay plastic/titanium mesh applications.
Classes
Classes are scheduled for the following dates in 2012:

Resin 8 Colors instruments are
lightweight and color-coded for
easy identification in the operatory. They feature EverEdge technology, which offers long-lasting
cutting edges.
• Easy Endo (booth No. 520) is introducing ProSmart, a universal root
canal obturation system. According to Sandy Weisz, ProSmart is
a simple, self-sealing point-andpaste system that uses polymers
that absorb water and expand
laterally into the root canal.
• Also new for endodontists is the
DTC Digital Torque Motor, available from SybronEndo (booth No.

America’s director of marketing. “In
short, Honigum Pro goes where you
put it, flows where you need it and
comes off intact when you remove it.
The result is an incredibly crisp, accurate and detailed impression.”
Honigum Pro’s Flexible Working
Time provides the clinician greater
control prior to insertion in the mouth.
Once in the mouth, the extreme
hydrophilicity and rapid snap-set help
to reduce voids, impression errors and
micro-movement distortions. Plus the
subtle honey aroma makes for a more
patient-friendly procedure without
causing over-salivation.
“We’re truly excited to have dental
professionals put the new formulation to the test,” Haberstumpf said.
