By today Staff
n It’s been almost two years since the
doors to the Thoman P. Hinman Dental
Meeting closed on the 2019 event.
No one on that day in late March that
year had any idea what would happen
the following year.
But now, a year after the meeting
was canceled as cases of COVID19 increased in the United States,
the doors are open again, allowing
dentists and their staffs to attend this
year’s Hinman Dental Meeting in the
way that is best for them — in-person
or online.
For those of you here at the Omni
Atlanta Hotel at CNN Center, you will
notice things look a little different —
and not just with the social distance
and the masks. Class sizes have been

The Thomas P. Hinman Dental

has been named incoming executive
director.
Under Ratchford’s leadership
and during her tenure, Hinman has
achieved many accomplishments,
including:
• Growing the Hinman Dental
Meeting to its peak of more than 23,000
attendees and 430-plus exhibiting
companies and establishing Hinman
as one of the nation’s leading continuing education dental meetings.

consistently one of Atlanta’s top

livestreamed via Hinman’s online
platform for those who aren’t able to
attend at the College Football Hall of
Fame or watch with colleagues from
the International Ballroom at the
Omni Hotel.
The event will feature Air
Force Colonel (Ret.) Nicole Malachowski, the first female Thunderbirds pilot and one of the first women
to fly modern fighters in combat.
Malachowski will share how she
fought back after her career ended
because of a devastating tick-borne
illness that left her unable to speak or
walk for 10 months as well as present
other stories from her career and
personal life that will inspire you
to rethink the challenges you face
every day.

Fotona expands product offering with purchase
of the dental division of A.R.C. LASER GmbH
By Fotona Staff
n In 2020, Fotona completed the
purchase of the Fox III and Fox IV
lasers systems and the EmunDo®
Therapy system from A.R.C. LASER
GmbH. This purchase includes all
medical
specialties,
including
dentistry, with the exceptions of
ophthalmology, otolaryngology and
veterinary applications. Fotona has
previously been a distributor of the
XLASE 1064 nm dental lasers in the
United States.
The newly acquired Fox technology with 455, 810, 980 and 1064 nm
wavelengths represents a line of
high-performance, powerful diode
lasers that are small, lightweight
and battery operated for maximum
convenience.
These systems perform a wide
range of surgical, periodontal,
photothermal therapy (PTT) and
low level laser therapy (LLLT)
procedures.
Here in Atlanta
For more information, stop by the
Fotona booth, No. 106, or you can check
out the company’s virtual booth.
EmunDo is a PTT system, used
in conjunction with the Fox lasers,
for less invasive treatment of
periodontitis without antibiotics.
Learn more here: www.fotona.com/
en/products/6236/xpulse-r-line/.
Jeff Jones, president of Fotona,
said: “Fotona has long been a world
leader and innovator in the dental
laser industry. Adding the Fox III
and Fox IV lasers systems and the
EmunDo Therapy system to our line
of LightWalker™ and SkyPulse®
lasers will expand our dental product
offering.
“Fotona dental lasers systems
provide general dentists, periodontists, endodontists, pediatric
dentists and hygienists the ability

to provide their patients with
advanced and less invasive treatment
options. Fotona’s procedures include
no-shot cavity preps, soft-tissue
surgical procedures, treatments
for periodontal disease, endodontic
treatments, LLLT pain relief, laserassisted hygiene, snoring and sleep
treatments, facial esthetic procedures and much more.”
Angela Thyzel, A.R.C. CEO, added:
“A.R.C. has known and worked
with the senior executives at
Fotona for many years and respect
their expertise in dentistry and
are confident they will continue to
grow the customer base for these
advanced products in dentistry and
other areas.”
A.R.C. LASER GmbH was founded
in 1996, with the goals of developing
and producing laser-based solutions
for gentle and effective surgeries
and treatments. Because of its innovations, A.R.C. has been a pioneer and
leader worldwide.
During COVID-19, Fotona took
advantage of the opportunity to do
more for its customers and employees,
expanding its offering, doing more
research and product development
and becoming even stronger for
tomorrow, the company asserts.
Fotona also made another
acquisition, which it is excited to
announce in the future.
