Get in on the virtual action
Education and exhibitors can be accessed until April 12
By Fred Michmershuizen, today Staff
n PDC Virtual — taking place right
now at www.pdconf.com — gives participants access to a valuable educational program that can be accessed
all month at any time of the day or
night from the comfort of your own
office or home.
You have until April 12 to gain up
to 30 hours of C.E. courses available
from the Pacific Dental Conference.
There are many educational programs to choose from. Among them is
“Nobody Caries!” presented by Brian
Novy, which will help virtual attendees understand how and why patients
with impeccable oral hygiene can
develop rampant dental caries disease.
If you’re frustrated by the nonstop
onslaught of caries, this session is for
you. As Novy explains, there is more
to preventing this disease than just
brushing, flossing and the electronegative anion.
“Hot Topics in Infection Control &
Some Cool Tips,” presented by Nancy
Dewhirst, delves into how key clinical
safety concerns since COVID-19 fundamentally changed dental infection
control. Participants will learn how
to make sense of laws, guidelines and
science to manage safety challenges,
including bloodborne, droplet, contact and aerosol-transmitted diseases
(ATDs) and evolving and resistant
pathogens.

the meeting, you can network virtually with fellow dental professionals
and participate in various fun online
activities. You can also explore products and services available from dozens of exhibiting companies.
One of the PDC meeting’s virtual
exhibitors is, appropriately, DentalMonitoring, a company that offers AIbased solutions designed to empower
orthodontists to expand their practices into virtual environments.
With advanced remote monitoring
comes the possibility for practices
and organizations to adjust how they
provide care for their patients, offering better treatment experience and
more touch points for the provider,
without sacrificing consistency, the
company says.
Learn more by accessing the company via the exhibitors section of the
PDC site, or visit the company directly
at dental-monitoring.com.
Another virtual exhibitor at PDC is
Designs For Vison, which has several
new and innovative products, including the Infinity VUE.
Designed to provide a straightforward approach to ergonomics, Infinity
VUE loupes are available in 3.0x and
3.5x magnification. These loupes keep
your chin up, your neck straight and
your eyes forward while viewing the
magnified oral cavity.

Poll: Oral health care a must for
Canada’s long-term care homes
n
According to a national poll
conducted by Abacus Data for the
Canadian Dental Hygienists Association (CDHA), nearly all Canadians
believe that oral health care should
be included in the new national standards for long-term care.
Most Canadians also give the current state of oral care for older adults
and seniors a poor rating.
The poll of 2,200 Canadian residents, conducted between Jan. 7 and
12, revealed that 88 percent would
like to see oral health care incorporated into the federal government’s
long-awaited national standards for
long-term care homes.
A majority (more than 50 percent)
also recognize that seniors face many
challenges when it comes to accessing
professional oral health care.
As essential primary health care
providers, dental hygienists know
seniors living in long-term care homes
have many unmet oral health needs,
which put their overall health at risk.

“Untreated oral conditions and diseases can cause pain, discomfort, difficulties chewing and swallowing and
are associated with heart and lung
diseases, diabetes and stroke,” said
CDHA President Wendy Stewart. “We
simply cannot continue to ignore the
oral health needs of this vulnerable
population.”
Among CDHA’s urgent recommendations for improving the lives of
Canada’s 400,000 residents in long-
term care are the addition of dental
hygienists to staff care teams across
the country. These dental hygienists
would be responsible for developing comprehensive oral health care
programs for residents as well as
oral health education programs for
workers.

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.
During the PDC Virtual
You can see the Visible Difference
yourself by visiting Designs for Vision
in the virtual exhibit hall, or you can
contact the company to arrange a visit
in your office at (800) 345-4009 or info@
dvimail.com.
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

innovations

than Galilean loupes. Panoramic
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 tech-
nology 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.
Destination DM, and where your practice is taking you
By DentalMonitoring Staff
n There are two types of consistency:
action and motivation.
Consistency in action is just what
it sounds like. Do the same thing
every time, no matter what the circumstances surrounding that action
might suggest otherwise. Some call it
being steadfast, others stubborn, but
consistency in action alone misses
the mark.
Consistency in motivation, however, is what separates leaders in
orthodontics from those left wondering why the world changed around
them. As computing technology and
AI capabilities change the dental
industry — just as they have changed
nearly every industry we interact
with — the people and organizations
committed to motivational consistency have evolved along with it.
Limiting what has changed about
dentistry to the past two years is
to miss the point: The industry was
always going to change, even as
recent changes were made out of
necessity.
Remote monitoring technology has
advanced to the point where dental professionals can reliably trust
smartphones and capable monitoring
software to expand their practices
beyond what was conventionally feasible. With advanced remote monitor-

ing comes the possibility for practices
and organizations to adjust how they
provide care for their patients, offering better treatment experience and
more touch points for the provider,
without sacrificing consistency in
their motivation to treat patients
effectively and to keep their practice
healthy.
Without question, the change
being made today by leading providers will reshape what it means to
provide care to patients in the most
effective, convenient and practical
manner possible. Before remote monitoring solutions were available, it was
inconceivable to monitor a patient’s
clear aligner or braces treatment
every single week — but now it is,
and patients can enjoy the benefit of
making only necessary in-practice
visits while providers can leverage
the optimized chair time in any way
they see fit.
For some, that might mean bringing on more patients. For others, it
might mean reducing time in office
without having to take on fewer
patients.
But for all, it means leveraging
technology to reaffirm their motivation for why they began a profession
in dental care.
To be consistent is a question of
why, not how. And when paired with
a digital solutions partner committed
to always finding how to best leverage
emerging technologies for the betterment of dental practices, there’s
only one question left to ask: Where
will DentalMonitoring take your
practice?
