The Metro Toronto Convention
Centre is abuzz with excitement as
ASM22 — the Ontario Dental Association’s Annual Spring Meeting — gets
underway. From now until Saturday,
you can reconnect with colleagues,
learn from experts and visit an exhibit
hall filled with new products.
“The pandemic has made everyone
re-evaluate what is important in our
daily lives,” said Dr. Jeff Diefenbacher,
chair of the meeting’s Education Advisory Committee, in a welcome address
published in the ASM22 preliminary
show guide. “I, for one, took for
granted how important networking
and socializing with colleagues is to
our professional lives. And I am certain that I am not alone in this feeling.”
The meeting offers plenty of opportunities for socializing, as well as

ODA: COVID-19 protocols staying in place at dental offices
Measures will continue to
keep everyone protected
By Ontario Dental Association Staff
n As part of Oral Health Month, the
Ontario Dental Association (ODA) is
assuring the public that enhanced
safety measures created in response
to COVID-19 will stay as is for now,
even as public health measures are
easing in many communities across
the province.
The organization is reiterating
that dentists have been working
hard to keep patients protected at
their appointments throughout the
pandemic, and no known cases of
COVID-19 have been linked to treatment at an Ontario dental office.
Patients can expect pre-screening
questions, keeping their mask on
before and after treatment, physical
distancing in the waiting room and
other safety measures to continue, but
it’s for everyone’s protection.
“Dental care is health care and
having good oral health is a key part
of overall health and well-being,”
ODA President Dr. Charles Frank
said in a statement. “For anyone who
has still been putting off getting a
check-up, now’s the time to see the
dentist to make sure everything is
okay.”

Help prevent periodontal disease
Waterpik: Keeping gums healthy for 60 years
By Waterpik Staff
n As a dental health professional,
one of your top priorities is to help
prevent periodontal disease in your
patients. You stress the importance
of good oral hygiene — which includes
regular brushing, daily flossing and
twice-a-year dental cleanings and
check-ups — to prevent plaque buildup and keep gums healthy.
Using string floss can be challenging for patients. Some people may
not find the time to incorporate daily
flossing into their oral health routine,
while others may find it too difficult or
inconvenient to do.
Waterpik ® offers an easy alternative to string flossing that also
helps prevent periodontal disease.
The Waterpik Water Flosser uses
technology to create an effective combination of water pressure and pulsations to remove 99.9 percent of plaque
from treated areas, thereby reducing
inflammation, which is key to preventing gingivitis, the precursor to
periodontal disease.
Waterpik is safe and effective for
patients with periodontitis. In a clinical study with two groups of patients
with moderate to severe periodontitis, the group instructed to use the
Waterpik Water Flosser once a day
experienced an 81 percent reduction
in bleeding compared to 76 percent
reported by the group treated with
minocycline.1
Helping to prevent periodontal
disease for the past 60 years
Founded in 1962, Water Pik has been
helping in the prevention of periodontal disease for the last 60 years.
A wholly owned subsidiary of Church
& Dwight and headquartered in Fort
Collins, Colo., Water Pik has a rich
history of innovation and design,
engineering its products to deliver
the wellness benefits of water.
Over the past 60 years, Waterpik
products have gone through rigorous testing to ensure that each one
reaches the highest standards, earning Waterpik its reputation as the No.
1 brand of water flosser in the world,
according to the company. Waterpik
is also the only water flosser to earn
the Canadian Dental Association
(CDA) seal.*
Water Pik has developed more
than 25 water flosser models and
seven unique tip options to meet all
types of oral care needs.
Designed for ease of use and con-

Field loupes provide unprecedented
field of view, clarity, definition and
color.
Designs for Vision is also offering 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.

Is it time to evolve
your practice?
AI-powered remote
monitoring can help
clinicians take extra
care of patients who
need it the most
By DentalMonitoring Staff
n When the world is getting more
connected by the second, what is
orthodontics doing to keep up?
We are becoming more comfortable with the idea that technology, specifically advances in AI and machine
learning, are inextricable and beneficial aspects of modern life — our
daily commutes are governed not by
backroads and our memory of what
is “usually” the fastest way; now we
have machine learning-based algorithms show us in real-time where the
traffic is building.
But in orthodontics, the axiom of
“good enough” is stifling the possibilities of these same efficiencies in our
industry. And the fact remains: “good
enough” won’t cut it anymore. Especially not when solutions to increase
provider capabilities, engage patients
directly and apply the institutional
knowledge trapped inside the physical walls of a practice exist today.
AI-powered remote monitoring
serves as one of the most important
breakthroughs in the way that dental
professionals can provide care to
their patients, expanding their clinical control during braces and aligners
treatments further beyond what was
capable a decade ago.
Even the most basic of remote monitoring systems can increase points of
contact with a patient, ensuring that
providers are up to date on orthodontic cases between in-office appointments. A simple messaging platform
like that would be good — but still a
half measure.
When backed by artificial intelligence, these remote monitoring plat-

forms transform into powerhouses
of capability by empowering providers with even greater insights,
according to DentalMonitoring. The
company’s AI-powered remote monitoring solution is capable of detecting
and monitoring more than 130 oral
observations, giving providers the
full strength of remote monitoring’s
capabilities in a provider- and patientfriendly interface: a smartphone app
and a web-based platform.
Why make the change? While
some practitioners hold onto the past,
others have utilized DentalMonitoring to evolve their practices and
businesses into modern care centers.
Instead of wasting resources — time,
staffing, clinical equipment — on the
patients who may not need an adjustment, providers that use AI-powered
remote monitoring can take extra
care of the patients who need it the
most and, just as importantly, allow
the patients well on track to continue
their treatment without making a
costly trip to the practice.
Synchronizing the delivery of care
with the need of care seemed like
a fantasy when most practitioners
got out of orthodontic school. But
today, those capabilities are ready to
become the reality of dental professionals willing to let go of the past and
embrace today.

Study: OPTIM 1 Wipes cover twice as
much surface area as competitors
By COLTENE SciCan staff
n COLTENE SciCan’s OPTIM 1 is one
of the fastest and most effective onestep cleaner disinfectants and has a
one-minute broad-spectrum contact
time, according to the company.
OPTIM 1 Wipes have excellent
wetness, the company asserts, ensuring complete and fully compliant
disinfection with each application.
A study evaluated the length of time
surfaces remain wet after application
of different disinfectants commonly
used in dental practices; OPTIM 1
was the only product that remained
wet long enough to meet its contact
time1. In fact, OPTIM 1 Wipes covered
twice as much surface area compared
to leading competitors — saving users
time and money.
What’s ‘contact time’?
Disinfectant product labels indicate

specific contact times — the length
of time disinfectant solution must
be in contact with the target surface
(i.e., keep the surface wet) in order
to achieve the desired disinfection
efficacy.
What’s ‘dry time’?
It’s the time it takes for a disinfectant
to fully dry and/or evaporate on a
surface. A disinfectant’s contact time
should be faster than its dry time. If
a disinfectant evaporates before its
contact time has elapsed, the surface
has not been fully disinfected. That
means, the disinfectant dried up
before it could kill and inactivate the
pathogens on the surface.
When faced with a fast-drying
disinfectant, to ensure the surface is
wet until the contact time is achieved,
users need to wipe the surface down
again as soon as it dries up.
In today’s busy dental practices,
users typically apply a disinfectant
and let it air dry as they move on to
their other tasks. They don’t have
time to watch it dry and use a second
wipe.
