Exploring Toronto
n
One of the best features of
the Ontario Dental Society’s Annual
Spring Meeting is its location, the
Metro Toronto Convention Centre,
which is just steps away from some of
the top choices among Toronto’s endless attractions.
The list of attractions is enticing: international cuisine, unique
shopping venues, diverse cultural
facilities and events, trails, parks,
distinctive architecture and endless
top-caliber entertainment. Following
are ome possibilities.
Step out for a bit
• Taste a peameal bacon sandwich
(with honey mustard) and a butter
tart at the 200-year-old St. Lawrence
Market.
• Ride the 501 “Red Rocket” streetcar along Queen Street from The
Beaches in the east to the west end,
through the heart of downtown and
passing through the eclectic neighbourhoods of Leslieville, Riverside,
Queen West, West Queen West, Parkdale and Roncesvalles along the way.
• Take the ferry to the Toronto
Islands for a day in the parks and on
the beaches — a piece of calm outside
the hustle and bustle of the city.
Refreshing signs read “Please walk
on the grass.” The islands are home
to a community of about 800 people,
TODAY
who have the distinction of boasting
Canada’s highest per capita population of artists. Even more appealing,
the islands are considered to be the
location of North America’s largest
urban community that is car free.
• Catch live music at one of Toronto’s legendary music venues such as
the Horseshoe Tavern (where the Rolling Stones have played many surprise
concerts), The Rex (for live jazz) or the
iconic Massey Hall.
• Wander the eclectic and bohemian Kensington Market for vintage
finds, organic coffee, tacos, Jamaican
patties, gourmet cheese shops, green
grocers and Indian spices.
• Experience the highs and lows of
Toronto — from the CN Tower’s Skypod
observation deck at 447 meters (135
stories) up, down to the underground
PATH system connecting downtown’s
office towers with a 27-km network
and more than 1,200 shops and restaurants.
• Stroll along the highest sidewalk
at the CN Tower’s Edgewalk.
• Visit the Art Gallery of Ontario’s
premier collections of Canadian art
featuring the famous Group of Seven.
• Get lost in the crowds of YongeDundas Square where the billboards
and neon lights surround the swarms
of people in Toronto’s most famous
intersection.
• Absorb the Canadian game’s his-

ment on display. You really do have to
see this one to believe it. Registration
is accomplished using any recent
CT scan of the jaw by selecting onscreen and then tracing three of the
patient’s teeth or other structures
(such as braces or abutments). It’s all
done in the chair, immediately before
surgery. No stent or guide needs to be
prepared, and the entire registration
process can be completed in about
three minutes.
In the Planmeca booth, No. 625, you
can learn about the Ultra Low Dose
protocol for its CBCT imaging that delivers an average 77 percent reduction
in radiation dose with no reduction in
image quality. Other advanced technol-
ogy from Planmeca addresses the primary disruptor of CBCT 3-D image quality: patient movement. The company
calls the technological advancement
CALM, which stands for Correction
Algorithm for Latent Movement.
In the Shofu booth, No. 419, you (dentists, hygienists, dental assistants) can
hold and handle the new and improved
EyeSpecial C-III digital dental camera. Its preprogrammed settings are
designed specifically for ease of use in
dental applications. Plus, the camera is

Revolutionizing clinical photography: Pre-programmed shooting
modes enable dental camera users to navigate through tasks
without extensive photographic skills or experience
By Shofu Dental Staff
n Doctors and their team members
who strive to increase the effectiveness of clear aligner therapies in
their practice seek products that can
engage everyone in the process and
improve the hands-on experience of
a patient. Digital photography plays a
key role in documenting treatments.
With the right camera in their hands,
team members can help increase the
patient’s acceptance and practice’s
profitability.
The EyeSpecial C-III camera from
Shofu captures stellar images for case
documentation, diagnosis and treatment planning, patient communica-
tion and education. Equipped with
dental-specific,
pre-programmed
shooting modes, the EyeSpecial C-III
enables clinicians and their team
members to efficiently navigate
through photography tasks without
the need of extensive photography
experience.
For instance, in order to achieve
orthodontic photographs with Shofu’s
camera, the operator will select a button corresponding to FACE MODE to
capture extraoral images. In a similar fashion, an operator will choose
STANDARD MODE to capture anterior
and buccal intraoral photographs,
and MIRROR MODE to accomplish the
occlusal pictures.
Here in Toronto
For an EyeSpecial demonstration and
to learn how it can improve communication with your dental laboratory and
patients, visit Shofu in booth No. 419.
For every step of an orthodontic
photo series, the EyeSpecial C-III
will automatically set the appropriate
f-stop, aperture and focal length to
deliver an ideal photograph, leaving
the camera’s operator to simply select
a suitable mode. Incorporating intuitive functions tailored specifically
for dentistry, the EyeSpecial C-III is
designed to handle clinical applica-
tions without requiring retrofitted
add-ons.
When combined with a draw/edit
function, which allows for making
notes directly on images, this attribute is of an immense value for an
effective treatment evaluation or a
discussion about the progress or challenges associated with the modality.
Engineered to provide functionality,
the ultralight (weighing ca. 1lb) EyeSpecial C-III complies with infection
control protocols. The heavy-duty
camera’s body is water-, chemicaland scratch-resistant, and it can be
swiftly disinfected with a sterilizing
towelette, virtually eliminating the
possibility of cross-contamination.

Free-motion elbow supports: Key to
reducing musculoskeletal disorders
Improved ergonomics
protect dental careers
Here in Toronto
You can find Posiflex Design products
in booth No. 903 (Patterson Dental).
By Tricia Osuna, RDH, BSDH, FAADH
n
As the dental profession has
come to realize that undiagnosed
and untreated injuries caused by
ergonomically unsound practices are
often the cause of physical pain and
early retirement, there have been
numerous strategies employed to prevent such injuries.
Today’s dental professionals are
trained to provide dental therapy
in a seated position, which varies
from earlier training that allowed for
standing only. The incidence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among
dental professionals has increased
noticeably in recent years.
Because dental treatments often
involve working in awkward positions and holding those positions
for extended periods of time, many
MSDs, especially those involving the
neck and shoulders, result from what
is known as Prolonged Static Posture
(PSP). In addition, the application of
a high percentage of Maximum Voluntary Contraction (MVC) of muscles
required for many procedures also
contributes greatly to the high incidence of MSDs.
To address these problems, such
things as improved lighting, magnification and chairs that support proper
posture have been introduced. Now,
another technology, free motion
elbow supports, has emerged to add to
the resources available to protect us.
Free-motion
elbow
supports
encourage proper working posture
and enable you to work from an
ergonomically optimal position. They
are a key component in the reduction of work-related musculoskeletal
disorders of the back, shoulders and
neck among dental professionals.
And because this support is applied
at the elbow, it also enables you to
avoid the excessive wrist flexion that
frequently leads to carpal tunnel
syndrome, which can be a serious
deterrent to the success of your career.
Look to the science
A comprehensive study published by
ASSTSAS1 used electromyography
(EMG) to measure the actual amount
of force exerted during the performance of key dental activities.
The study measured hygienists’
levels of stress when performing
under their normal working conditions and using equipment, postures
and techniques they had become
accustomed to.
The study found that even when
ideal posture was maintained during
work, significant muscle stress was
observed without the use of freemotion elbow supports. It then followed up those results by testing the
same group of hygienists after they
had been retrained and provided with
seating that made use of gel-padded
free-motion elbow supports to reduce
specific types of stress.
The results of this study demonstrate that a combination of changes in
work habits and posture, coupled with
the use of seating equipped with freemotion elbow supports, significantly
reduces the stress of PSPs and the percentage of MVC of muscles required to
perform dental work.
Because the study used EMG
devices attached to its subjects to
directly measure the stress exerted on
specific muscles during the performance of dental tasks, it provides direct
evidence based on physiological measurements rather than questionnaires
and observation alone in support of
its conclusions about the best ways to
dramatically reduce MSDs and their
associated negative consequences.
Consider Posiflex Design
Dental professionals should strongly
consider acquiring and using the freemotion elbow supports as part of their
normal work procedure. If the dental
practice is considering the purchase
of new operator’s chairs, such movable supports are available on chairs
manufactured by Posiflex Design.
If operators are currently using
satisfactory seating that provides
adjustable lumbar support and a seat
that can be tilted to the ideal angle,
or if no plans to procure other new
seating are imminent, then the freemotion elbow supports can be purchased separately and installed on
any make or model of operator’s chair.
Ask your local dealer.
For more information on Posiflex
free-motion elbow supports, you can
visit the company at booth No. 903 on
the ASM18 exhibit floor, or telephone
the company at (888) 767-4353.

Next-generation laser enables new
procedures, reduces complications
Restoring a fixedbridge abutment with
advanced endo/perio
bone destruction using
TwinLight periodontal
and PIPS endodontic
treatment

By Steven Abernathy, DDS
Jonesboro, Ark.
n Periodontal tissue regeneration
has been demonstrated to be promoted either when the Nd:YAG laser
or Er:YAG laser is being used individually as an adjunct to mechanical
therapy. The same or presumably
even better result is expected when
both laser therapies are performed
in combination using the TwinLight®
protocol. My clinical experience confirms this conclusion: Bone regeneration is observed as one of the positive
outcomes of the LightWalker ® laser
TwinLight treatment.
In this paper, I report on one of my
more difficult cases, in which the periodontal TwinLight laser treatment
was additionally combined in tandem
with the endodontic PIPS® laser treatment, both exclusively available with
the LightWalker dental laser.
Radiographs taken before and
three-years post-op demonstrate significant bone regeneration. My clinical experience confirms the conclusion of a recently published five-year
retrospective study that concluded
that bone regeneration is observed
as one of the positive outcomes of the
TwinLight treatment.

Case
A 72-year-old male in otherwise good
health presented with an endo/perio
lesion of the mandibular left second
molar (Fig. 1).
The tooth was the distal abutment
of a four-unit fixed partial denture.
The patient’s chief complaint was
soreness to chewing pressure and a
chronic dull ache on the left side of his
jaw. He had recently seen his family
dentist and an endodontist, both of
whom had advised him the tooth was

hopeless. A single appointment of
1.5 hours included PIPS laser endo,
TwinLight periodontal treatment and
bridge repair.
Fig. 3
Conclusion
It is the author’s contention that the
success of this case can be attributed largely to the gentle nature of
the TwinLight and PIPS treatments
available in tandem with the Fotona
LightWalker laser.
Traditional root-canal treatments
and periodontal surgery both create
a great deal of mechanical stress
on the periodontium as endodontic
instruments engage dentin within
the canals, and scalers and ultrasonic
instruments debride and root plane
the diseased cementum.
Laser energy does not create mechanical stress, and its bactericidal
nature as it works within the canals
and on the perio defect is an additional
benefit. The radiographs taken before
and three-years post-op demonstrate
significant bone regeneration following the combined TwinLight laser
periodontal treatment.

Technology changing
patient education
n Technological advancements are
perpetual catalysts for changes that
continue to transform the way we
operate on a daily basis. For progressive practitioners, the constant wave of
new technology provides an auspicious
opportunity to increase prosperity and
experience substantial benefits in other
areas.
For decades, dental practitioners
have been pigeonholed to tediously
repetitious practices such as the monotonous treatment of caries and removal
of plaque buildup. Despite this, the
prevalence of malocclusion in modern children is approaching 100 percent and this growing incidence is
enabling dentists to widen their scope
of practice with the prospect of providing biological-based orthodontic treatment for children. Additionally, the
recognition of sleep-related breathing
disorders in dental patients is increas-
ing, with recent research finding a
relationship between the prevalence
of malocclusion and dysfunctional
breathing.1
With this in mind, practitioners
looking to diversify their pediatric
treatment options in the increasingly
competitive market that is modern
dentistry should consider the benefits modern technology can offer. The
implementation of eLearning tools in
North American classrooms has produced a generation of students that
feels comfortable using screen-based
technology for self-directed learning
and is appreciative of the low-pressure
environment it offers.
Senior Myobrace Educator Jessica
Maidman is an advocate for patient education through the use of digital learning tools, and she considers the patient’s
first encounter with The Myobrace®
System an important stepping stone for
5
ongoing education and compliance. “As
an educator, I use our Myobrace apps
to deliver information to my patient in
a child-friendly manner. It helps them
understand the causes of their developmental issues, as well as the need for
early intervention and corrective treatment,” Maidman said.
“I have learned that children respond
much better to learning from new and
interesting technologies rather than an
authoritative figure such as a dentist.
The results are much more consistent because the information is being
delivered the same way each and every
time.”
Myofunctional Research Co. (MRC)
provides eLearning software in all
major digital platforms, enabling simple implementation for almost any practice. Taking advantage of these modern
technologies enables any practice to
transform into a tech-savvy environment that has an edge over competitors.
MRC regularly hosts seminars that
provide practitioners with hands-on
experience in learning new myofunctional techniques for the treatment of
malocclusion, dysfunctional breathing
and TMJ disorders as well as the implementation of eLearning tools in almost
any practice.
