Henry Schein supports
Bahamas Dental
Association’s ‘Hurricane
Dorian Bahamas Dental
Health Relief’ program
Company donates
$100,000 in product
and equipment
to help BDA support
public health
By Henry Schein Staff
n Henry Schein recently donated
$100,000 in supplies and equipment
to support Bahamas Dental Association’s (BDA) first “Hurricane Dorian
Bahamas Dental Health Relief” program.
The company’s support, together
with International Dental Federation, National Dental Association, the
Ministry of Health, Remote Area
Medical, International Medical Relief
and Christian Dental Society, helped
ensure free oral-health assessments
and treatment could be provided to
students younger than age 21.
“The event exemplifies Henry
Schein’s public-private partnership
model to advance oral health, and we
are committed to providing organizations, such as BDA, with the health
care supplies they need to support
public health,” said Jennifer Kim
Field, vice president, global social
responsibility. “We hope our role can
help get community members back on
their feet and begin to rebuild.”
The event supported BDA’s global
mission of sensitizing citizens from
more than 200 member countries
around the world to the importance
of oral health, and its correlation to
overall general health and well-being.
“With thousands of residents displaced and in need of essential health
care and hygiene products, it is crucial that the private sector work with
industry partners to leverage our col-

By Brendan Day,
Dental Tribune International
n At this year’s Greater New York
Dental Meeting (GNYDM), U.S.-based
3DISC, an award-winning provider of
digital X-rays, 3-D imaging and scanning technology, has launched the latest version of Heron IOS, its solution
for intraoral scanning.
At the event, Dental Tribune spoke
with Thomas Weldingh, 3DISC deputy
group CEO, about the benefits the
Heron IOS provides for the entire
dental team.
3DISC is showcasing the latest
version of its Heron IOS solution at
GNYDM 2019. What benefits does this
version offer?
The biggest thing is the new Heron
IOS case-management software
interface, which we’ve based on our
in-house software platform and is

designed to be highly intuitive and
easily engaged with by the dentist,
the lab and the patient. The new
interface makes the learning curve
shorter for the dental professional
while increasing digital workflow
performance, reducing the patient’s
chair time.
We have also put a great deal of
effort into optimizing the workflow
and overall performance of this scanner in a new major software update.
This new version of Heron IOS features a new storage element and
technology designed to significantly
reduce the processing and storing
time required for the large 3-D images
generated during intraoral scanning
— an aspect that is often overlooked
when comparing overall workflow
speeds between scanners.
In addition, this new version of the
Heron IOS offers improved accuracy
regarding bite alignment, even with
full-arch cases using our two-bite
registration procedure.
3DISC debuted the Heron IOS at the
International Dental Show in 2017.
What has the feedback from your
customers been to this point?
It’s been very good. We’ve come to
market with a complete intraoral
scanning solution at a price point that
really appeals to dentists who, while
interested in going digital, haven’t
really invested in it to this point
owing to the high initial investment
cost of many digital technologies.
Could you explain 3DISC’s pricing
model for the Heron IOS?
We are trying to make things simple
for the dental professional with our
products, and our pricing model is
no exception. Heron IOS is available
for a one-time affordable payment —
there are no mandatory licensing fees
or ongoing costs, and it comes with
free upgrades. It’s very easy, then, to
calculate your return on investment
when moving from analog to digital.
In addition, 3DISC will soon have
a new ROI calculator on its website
for customers to calculate their practices’ ROI for the Heron intraoral
scanner.
What else is 3DISC highlighting at
GNYDM 2019?
In addition to order management and
scanning, we have developed an easy
method of practice-to-lab communication called HeronCloud. The software
is designed to be highly intuitive,
boasting a fast learning curve that
provides fast and easy collaboration
with the lab through the cloud.

Greater New York Dental Meeting — Dec. 3, 2019
Interview with Daniel Ferrari, head
business segment dental at Sulzer
By Dental Tribune International
n In your product portfolio, you
have Helix and T-Mixer™ mixing tips
from MIXPACTM. The T-Mixer product range is continuously growing
because of the recent introduction of
the T-Mixer Colibri™ plus. What are
the differences between both mixing
technologies? What are the benefits
for the dentist?
Thanks to its advanced technology
and compact, shorter design, the
MIXPAC T-Mixer offers material savings up to 40 percent compared to the
Helix mixing tips. Additionally, the
T-Mixer enables easier, more precise
and safer handling and application of
the material.
The shear and elasticity forces
generated inside a T-Mixer result in
a more homogenous distribution of
individual molecules in comparison
to conventional Helical mixing tips.
The T-Mixer has received multiple
awards from independent dental test
institutes: the Dental Advisor and
Clinicians Report.
Sulzer has been competing against
copies of patent-protected mixing
tips for a several years – for both the
benefit of patients and dentists. How
can clinicians ensure they are using
original Sulzer products?
Here in New York
To learn more about Sulzer products
and technology, visit booth No. 4631.
Sulzer is committed to protecting its
products. Genuine MIXPAC tips can
be identified by the MIXPAC logo
located on the retaining ring and
the CANDY COLOR™ quality seal.
We highly recommend that dentists
continue to make sure that they actually receive the original mixing tips
from Sulzer.
Because of our system approach,
Sulzer guarantees high performance
and top application results when
using the entire MIXPAC system —
dispenser, cartridge and mixing-tips
from Sulzer.
For the dental industry, Sulzer
provides a huge product portfolio
of mixing and dispensing systems
with MIXPAC products for the OEM
Material Manufacturers as well as
Transcodent™ branded products for
the dental trade business. What are
some of the product highlights at the
GNYDM? And how can U.S.-based
customers receive Transcodent
products?
For GNYDM 2019, we have two trade
product highlights: the Transcodent
Flexible Steel™ irrigation needles
with its double-side vent irrigation
needles with Luer Lock that increase
safety and efficacy of endodontic irrigation. And the Transcodent Painless
Steel™ Injection Needles, which are
designed for effective and safe delivery of anesthetic solution to ensure
optimal patient comfort. Both products from Sulzer ensure that dentists’
daily practice life is much easier with
the highest patient comfort possible.
U.S. customers can purchase
Transcodent products directly by
contacting our U.S. Sales Manager
Nancy Robbins, (603) 475-5890, nancy.
robbins@sulzer.com or by contacting
their local dental supplier.
Sulzer is known as a supplier of
high-quality products. Can you
provide an example as to how you
ensure the highest quality level
possible during the production
process?
The key difference is our 360-degree
business model approach. With our
ISO certified production environment and cutting-edge manufacturing technology combined with using
the best raw materials and extensive
quality processes, Sulzer effectively
merges Swiss quality with German
engineering throughout the entire
production process.

tional cementing protocol.
TheraCem is a dual-cured, calciumand fluoride-releasing, self-adhesive
resin cement indicated for luting
crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays and
AD
all types of posts. Delivering a strong
bond to zirconia and most substrates,
along with easy cleanup and high
radiopacity, TheraCem offers clinicians reliable and durable cementation of indirect restorations, according to the company.
The self-adhesive feature means
no etching and no priming or bonding of prepared dental surfaces.
This means greater predictability
in preparations with subgingival
margins, where etchants or bonding
agents may cause bleeding.
With TheraCem, a clean, prepped
dentin or enamel surface is all that
is needed to achieve excellent bond
strengths, with the added benefit
of sustained calcium and fluoride
release. TheraCem also forms a strong
bond to most substrates, including zirconia restorations, without the need
for separate chemical primers.
TheraCem is easy to clean up
with hand instruments and floss.
For deeper subgingival margins,
TheraCem is kind to the gingiva,
although the margins should be thoroughly inspected to ensure complete
removal of excess cement.
Because of innovative chemistry,
TheraCem achieves a high degree of
chemical conversion, which ensures
long-term durability without the need
for refrigeration when it is not being
used. For clinicians, this means that
peace of mind can be nearby and
ready to use in every operatory.
All of these time-saving features
translate to decreased chair time and
frustration for both clinicians and
patients. TheraCem is true simplicity
and durability through cutting-edge
chemistry.

and clinical education, will host the
Guiding Leaders Summit, a dynamic
conference designed to equip women
in dentistry with the latest dental
procedures and leadership training
that elevates them to new levels. This
two-day event will take place April
24–25 at the luxurious Paséa Hotel &
Spa in Huntington Beach, Calif.
“We’re excited to create this
extraordinary
opportunity
to
empower women in dentistry,” said
Stephenie Goddard, executive vice
president at Glidewell Dental and
visionary of Guiding Leaders. “We
believe in being innovative, so we
have designed an exceptional conference that is intended to provide a
unique experience that’s unlike other

offered at the beach, and participants
will have ample opportunity for networking during the event including
hosted cocktail receptions.
The conference will provide a
range of continuing education
courses that cover diverse areas
from clinical and digital dentistry to
practice management and leadership
development.
Attendees will have an opportunity to select up to eight sessions from
topics, such as “Choosing the Right
Cutting-Edge Technology to Grow
Your Practice,” “7 Simple Strategies
to Build a Successful Brand on Social
Media” and “Reduce Stress by Unlocking the Power of Mindfulness.”
Dr. Rella Christensen, who cofounded the Clinicians Report Foundation, a nonprofit, educational
research institute, will be the keynote speaker on the opening day.
As a renowned author, researcher
and lecturer, Christensen will share
with attendees the latest in clinical
research as well as her experiences
as a woman in dentistry.
“I’m excited about speaking at the
inaugural Guiding Leaders Summit.
It is going to be a phenomenal event
for women in our profession,” Christensen said. “I look forward to sharing
the information and experiences I
have had with the new leaders.”
The conference will be a wellrounded event where women can
discover current dentistry trends,
develop as a leader, as well as build
a strong support network with colleagues, the company asserts.
“It is essential to have a variety
of tools to be successful within this
field,” Goddard said. “Therefore, we
want women to leave the summit
equipped in more than one area. Our
goal is for them to receive educational
training while being rejuvenated so
they return to the practice ready to
make a bigger impact in dentistry.”
The Guiding Leaders Summit
is geared toward women dentists,
hygienists and office staff, as there
will be topics that are relevant to all
roles within the practice. Participants
can earn up to nine hours of continuing education credits by attending
both days. Early-bird registration for
the event ends in January.

Greater New York Dental Meeting — Dec. 3, 2019
Dentapen: The next-generation CCLAD
By Septodont Staff
n The Dentapen’s lightweight, ergonomic design sets it apart from the
competition, according to Septodont,
the company behind it. There are no
cords, no console and no long tubing.
The entire device fits in the palm of
your hand. It is smaller and lighter
than many traditional syringes. It
allows dentists to give slow, consistent
injections, thereby reducing patient
discomfort and pain.
It’s common knowledge that many
patients fear going to the dentist, and
the No. 1 reason why is they fear getting injections. That fear may be the
result of a bad experience or it may be
because many injections hurt. They
hurt because many dentists deliver an
entire cartridge of anesthetic in less
than 20 seconds.
Local anesthetics are acidic, and
delivering anesthetic quickly stings.
It’s like squirting some lemon juice
on a cut. Slowing down an injection
allows the body to raise the pH of
the anesthetic, thereby reducing the
sting.

Dental injections can also be painful and damage tissue because of pressure variations. A human hand just
can’t maintain even pressure in the
same way that a computer-controlled
device can. Too much pressure and the
patient will experience pain.
Using the Dentapen will improve
the patient experience by providing more comfortable and consistent
injections, according to the company.
With a Dentapen, dentists can focus
more on the patient and less on their
technique.
The intuitive design of the Dentapen means there is no steep learning curve. It isn’t necessary to adapt a
technique to the device, but rather the
device allows a dentist to use the same
techniques as a standard syringe but
improves upon the result.
Assembling and operating the Dentapen is simple, according to the com-
pany. There are two choices of grips
that allow you to hold it like a traditional syringe or like a pen. It accommodates standard dental anesthetic
cartridges and needles — no need for
special proprietary supplies.
It offers three speeds and two
modes, making it easy to choose the
right options for each type of injection.
The Dentapen was designed with
patient comfort and safety in mind.
That is why it includes automatic aspiration. To aspirate, simply activate the
flow by pressing down on the finger
grip, and stop the flow by pressing it a
second time. The plunger will retract
a little, creating the negative pressure
needed for aspiration, and then return
to its starting position.
Every time the flow is stopped, aspiration will occur.
With a Dentapen, injections are
more comfortable for patients, more
comfortable for dentists and more
consistent and predictable, according to the company, which asserts
the Dentapen from Septodont is the
ideal solution for dentists looking to
improve their practice.
The Dentapen can be held like a
syringe or like a pen and is probably
smaller than you might think. (Photos/
