CAD/CAM technology
just got a whole lot better
By Planmeca Staff
n As you enjoy perusing the booths
at this year’s Hinman Dental Meeting,
you’ll get up close and personal with
some of the industry’s newest innovations, latest gadgets and blingy
instruments. Some are nice-to-haves,
but many more are staples of dental
practices, improved over time.
Regardless of what booths you
meander past, be sure to find your
way to Planmeca. Today, one of the
largest privately held dental manufacturers globally sets the stage to be
a real player in the CAD/CAM space.
With the new Planmeca FIT system, dental practices have everything they need to make single-visit
dentistry a reality in their office.
While intraoral scanning and chairside mills are not new technology, the
latest from Planmeca makes them
easy to attain and implement so doctors can begin enjoying the benefits
to both the practice and the patients.
“I’ve been a beta tester of new CAD/
CAM technology for many years,”
said Dr. William Flora, a busy general
dentist in Elkhart, Ind.
Flora and his team have recently
tested Planmeca’s new FIT system,
which includes the new PlanMill 35
chairside mill and enhanced Planmeca Emerald S intraoral scanning
software. His findings are more than
positive.
“I’ve been a fan of Planmeca’s mills
for years. I have an original PlanMill
40 and PlanMill 30 S that are still in
use today — they are workhorses that
keep going. I expect the same will
ring true for this new mill. I’ve been
milling zirconia, glass and hybrid
ceramics on this mill, and I have no
complaints. The final restorations are
beautiful, including the fit. I haven’t
had to make adjustments at all. The
accuracy is spot on. I can also easily
switch from wet to dry milling with a
flip of a switch if I use a different block
material.
“The Emerald S scanner is
improved too. It’s really fast. My assistants have had no issues scanning
a full mouth in a matter of minutes.
Even my new hire is scanning like
a pro. I think this is a great system,”
he said.
The impact of incorporating CAD/
CAM technology is profound. Patients
are starting to expect conveniences

from their dentists, such as coming in
for a crown and leaving with the final
restoration. They’re also looking for
a practice that can handle all their
needs, from orthodontics to implants.
Having this technology makes these
and so much more possible.
As for the practice, having a CAD/
CAM system is one of those investments that pays for itself. Just ask a
representative for an ROI analysis.
If you decided this was the year to
take the plunge, they can take your
practice data and show you what your
potential savings could be.
So enjoy the Hinman Dental Meeting, check out the latest types of
cement, get your free toothpaste
but take some time to investigate
practice-transforming technology
by stopping by Planmeca’s booth,
No. 1115. The Planmeca FIT system is
well priced, and the impact on your
practice is immediate and lasting.

Infinix: New composite
technology that fights
recurrent decay
By Nobio Staff
n Imagine a composite technology
that defends your restorative margins from recurrent decay by killing
the bacteria that cause secondary caries on contact. And what if you were
able to find a new solution to help you
treat those high-risk caries or problem patients? Now consider if that
technology was designed to last for
the lifetime of the restoration itself.
What is Infinix?
Infinix, a new line of advanced antimicrobial restorative materials from
Nobio, just launched in February in
the United States. The Infinix family
consists of a universal composite, a
flowable composite and a universal
bonding system (prime and bond)
— all with QASi Antimicrobial technology.
Infinix composites are the first
FDA-cleared composites scientifically proven to kill bacteria and
reduce demineralization and secondary caries, according to the company.

The science behind Infinix
The antimicrobial technology behind
Infinix arises from basic nanomaterial research initiated more than 10
years ago in Israel’s Haddasah School
of Dental Medicine.
The antimicrobial activity is provided by proprietary, quaternaryammonium silica (QASi) particles.
These QASi particles electrostatically attract cariogenic pathogens,
killing them on contact by shredding
the bacteria’s outer membrane.
The covalently bound particles
are insoluble, non-leaching and nonreleasing. Nothing harmful or toxic
interferes with normal healthy flora
in the oral cavity, and they are
designed to be long lasting, with nothing to be recharged or replenished,
according to the company. The QASi
particles are incorporated into dental
materials and become part of the
polymerized restoration upon curing.
Infinix in your hands
“Studies have shown that a traditional
composite can only be expected to
last about five years on average,”
said Dr. John Flucke, practice owner
and chief technology editor of Dental
Products Report. “Composites have
come a long way, but the one thing we
continue to battle is recurrent decay.”
Flucke was the first dentist in the
U.S. to use Infinix in his office.
“In terms of handling and esthetics, Infinix measures up very well
to leading composites. Based on my
hands-on experience, I have walked
away very impressed with this material. I think it has the real potential
to become a big game changer in dentistry,” Flucke said.
Infinix also provides an excellent
solution for those high-risk caries
patients within a practice because
of xerostomia, diabetes, geriatric,
pediatric, high-medicine usage, poor
home care, etc., the company asserts.

Keep your chin up
and neck straight
with Infinity VUE
By Designs for Vision Staff
n Designs for Vision has several new
and innovative products, including
the Infinity VUE, Panoramic Field and
REVEAL.
Designed to provide a straightforward approach to ergonomics, Infinity VUE loupes are available from
Designs for Vision in 3.0x and 3.5x
magnification.
Infinity VUE (Vision Up Ergonomics) keeps your chin up, your neck
straight and your eyes forward while
viewing the magnified oral cavity.
You need to try these loupes on to
see (and feel) the difference in your
posture.
The new patented Panoramic Field
Loupes (US pat. 8928975B2) represent

the most significant advancement in
telescope design in more than 100
years, according to the company. The
viewable areas are twice as large as
prismatic expanded field designed
loupes and up to five times greater
than Galilean loupes. Panoramic
Field loupes provide unprecedented
field of view, clarity, definition and
color.
Designs for Vision is also offer-

ing REVEAL (US pat. 10215977B1),
which provides hands-free and
fluorescence-enhanced theragnosis
(FET).
REVEAL supplies the visual information to support decision making and facilitate proper treatment
options in cariology, oral hygiene,
periodontology-implantology
and
restorative dentistry.
Another Designs for Vision product is the patented (US pat. 8,851,709
& RE46,463) intuitive response technology of the Micro IR HDi headlight.
The patented IR feature allows you
to operate the headlight with handsfree operation. Onboard biometrics
sense the position of the headlight to
turn the light on when you are working and turn the light off when you
look up.
Designs for Vision’s WireLess
headlights free you from being tethered to a battery pack. The simple
modular designs uncouple the headlights from a specific frame or single
pair of loupes.
The compact design of the LED
DayLite WireLess headlights is independent of any frame/loupes.
