The body-mouth link: Make the

By Robert Selleck, Managing Editor
If there’s a journal article, research
study or other report linking oral
health to some broader aspect of wellness, Uche Odiatu, DDS, doesn’t just
know about it — he can quote it and
give you a concise, compelling summary of the science behind the findings. And these days that covers a lot
of territory: hardening of the arteries, heart disease, diabetes, liver
cancer, blood cancer, kidney cancer,
pancreatic cancer, Alzheimer’s, pre-
term babies, poor digestion, poor
wound healing, obesity, poor sleep
quality and, perhaps most critical of
all, inflammation with no anatomical
borders — all have scientific evidence
connecting them to oral health.
That’s prompted Odiatu to take on

critical aspects of such research with
fellow dental professionals. He steps
away from his Toronto dental practice and personal-fitness ventures
often enough to deliver about 30 presentations a year, turning dry, academic analysis into an entertaining,
engaging multimedia performance.
“Dentists and hygienist don’t have
time to read all the journals and
research papers,” Odiatu said, “especially the research that’s coming
from outside the dental profession.
I’ve seen this dental/whole-health
connection even appear in exercise
physiology literature.
"It’s challenging enough to keep
up with dental-specific sources. My
job is to stay up to date in this area. I
gather together all of these snippets
from across all disciplines — and I
focus on the science — the evidence
— that demonstrates a causal connection between the mouth and systemic
health.”

from 9-11:30 a.m. and again from
2-4:30 p.m. Odiatu answered questions from Dental Tribune about his
presentation.
Some dental professionals must be
feeling pressure to be a patient's
physician, psychologist, psychiatrist
and nutritionist. Isn’t that just too
much to take on?
Dentists are pretty amazing. Same
with hygienists and dental assistants. We all have our continuing
education conferences and requirements. We all want to keep getting
better at what we do. We all want to
stay on top of things.
There are always new procedures,
new instruments and new techniques
to try. And our patients demand us
to be on the leading edge of what’s
out there in the media. Patients are
online Googling “mouth and body
health” before their appointments.
They’re researching antibiotics and
wisdom teeth, and they have access
to much of the same information that
we do. Patients want to know about
the oral systemic link, and we need
to be prepared for that.
Is it possible to prompt patients to
change behaviour? Shouldn’t a dental professional just offer facts and

leave behaviour decisions entirely to
the patient?
I think we can rise to the occasion. I
think we can be on the cutting edge.
Dentists and hygienists are known to
be prevention focused. The way you
influence behaviour isn’t by being a
talking head. Telling isn’t teaching.
Dentists and hygienist need to be
aware of their expanded ability to
change behaviour by being authentic
role models — and teachers.
So, “teacher” is yet one more
responsibility being added to the
dental professional’s list?
The word “doctor” comes from the
Latin that means “teach.” It’s true
that this is a whole new way to look
at our profession. And also, it’s much
more rewarding and fulfilling and
interesting to look at a patient as a
whole person. We also need to be
aware that not everybody likes to
receive information in the same manner. I help people learn how to recognize learning preferences. Some
patients are going to be more visual,
others auditory, others kinesthetic
and some all three.
Many physicians understand that
when a patient leaves the room about
50 percent of the information will
be forgotten. Twenty percent of prescriptions don’t get filled. And only
60 percent of patients take medica-

tion the way they’re supposed to. I
act out how to connect with different
learning styles. I share examples
showing how fulfilling it is to be a
good communicator. It makes you a
better care provider. We’re more than
just about helping people look good
in their wedding pictures or graduation picture.
Is there risk that whole-body-health
advocacy can drive patients away?
My patients tell me, “I enjoy the fact
that you’re looking out for all of me,
not just my mouth.” As I refer more
patients to other allied professionals, I’ve seen referrals to my practice
increase from medical doctors, personal trainers, massage therapists,
chiropractors, nutritionists. There
isn’t just a patient-health benefit to
be realized. It also raises awareness
in the community about the mouth/
body connection.

‘More products
for less money’
Dental Savings Club known for great prices, top quality
Dental Savings Club has a wide variety
of dental instruments and other products
at great savings, thanks to a unique webbased automated ordering system that
minimizes expenses and passes savings
to customers.
WOlf handpieces
Despite the fear it might invoke in patients,
the conventional drill remains one of the
most important instruments in a dental practice. Although maintaining and
repairing these vital instruments can be
pricey, such preservation is necessary
because of frequent usage and the need for
steam autoclaving after each use. Dental
Savings Club is already known for great
savings on KUT carbide and diamond
rotary instruments, Kopy impression
material and Hugs and Kisses hygiene
instruments and whitening products.
The WOlf handpieces line builds on
this reputation for cost efficiency. These
lightweight handpieces are available for
most systems (Kavo, NSK, W&H, Midwest, Star and 4-hole systems). They are
well-balanced and include swivel capability (although couplers are not included),
push-button chucks, fiber optics with LED
beams (for shadow-free visibility) and a
triple-port water spray. WOlf handpieces
are known for their low maintenance-andrepair costs. Their power output is at 18
watts, and the handpiece spins at 400,000
rpm. Best of all, you can purchase a new
WOlf handpiece for far less than it costs
to repair many name-brand handpieces.
KOPY impression material
The name says it all: It implies this material
will copy your preparations and margins
exactly as they are — and it does. This
material is manufactured in the United
States and sold by a company based in
Canada. Various setting times and viscosities are offered in the Kopy line. For
example, for a full-arch impression, this
vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) material has
4.5-minute setting time (2.5-minute working time) for the monophase (medium
body) as well as both the heavy body
and light body materials (wash) so it will
accommodate any impression technique.
For single crowns there is a similar variety of viscosities, and the setting time is
listed as a fast set of just 2.5 minutes. Color
differentiation is good, and it pours nicely.
To round out the product line there
is a bite registration material that sets
in just 50 seconds; and there is an alginate replacement material cleverly named
“Algn8” that has a working time of 90
seconds and sets in 2.5 minutes. It is competitively priced for replacing conventional alginate. Alginate substitute advantages include: There is no immediate pour
needed; it remains stable for weeks; and
it can be poured multiple times (up to five
times per the manufacturer). Currently,
the product is available in only 50-ml
cartridges, but bulk cartridges should
be available soon. For those who still use
putty, Kopy also has a nice quality putty
available in tubs for mixing by hand.
The Dental Savings Club sums up its
high-tech, automated business model as:
"More products. Less money."
WOlf handpieces and KOPY impression material, are just two of the many brands

No-flow flowables for ‘Beautifil’ restorations
By Howard S. Glazer, DDS, FAGD, FASDA
Case I
The patient is a 33-year-old male who
has neglected his dental hygiene for
several years and has a history of
chewing gum and parking it in his
cheek when on the telephone or focusing on his work.
He now presents with several areas
of severe cervical erosion.
These areas of erosion were successfully restored using a #35 inverted
cone carbide and SmartBur II #4 round
(both SS White) and then BeautiBond
and BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus F03 A03

n That’s not a spelling error in the
title. I have intentionally spelled it to
mimic the name of the non-runny, nonflowable resin material I will discuss.
Resin dentistry has come a long way
since the early days of silicates. Both
patients and dental professionals have
demanded restorative materials that
are functional, durable, versatile and
esthetic. Imagine, if you will, a material
that is a base, liner and restorative all
in one tube.
Shofu has developed just such a
product: BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus. This
new flowable resin is a sculptable, nonflowing resin available in two formulations: F00 and F03. Those designations
mean that it flowed zero millimeters
when an amount was placed on a pad
and held vertically for one minute. Similarly, the F03 flowed only 3 mm during
one minute. Both formulations contain
the proprietary Giomer chemistry and
S-PRG fillers, which release and recharges fluoride like a glass ionomer.
The Giomer chemistry is important.
Giomers have an anti-plaque effect by
providing a smoother surface when
photo-cured. Furthermore, they aid in
the reinforcement of tooth structure
by forming an acid-resistant layer as
well as helping to remineralize dentin. Recently, the ADA published the
results of an eight-year Giomer study,
done at the University of Gainesville
in Florida, that showed no secondary
caries, no restorative failures, no postop sensitivity and a 95 percent retention of luster on the restoration.
BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus stays where it
is placed and does not require a more
traditional composite resin to be placed
on top to complete the restoration as
some bulk fills do. It is approved for all
cavity preparation classification.
There are nine shades for F00,
including an opaque, incisal and bleach
white. For F03, there are 12 shades,
including a unique A0.5, “milky” and
cervical shade. Once photo-cured, the
materials are about 95 percent finished
and polished, and a very high gloss can
be achieved using the One Gloss and
Super Snap Singles polishing systems
(Shofu).
As you will see in the cases that follow, BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus is a useful
product that enables us to emphasize
our artistic ability in the art and science of dentistry.
Today from 1:30 to 4 p.m., Dr. Howard
Glazer presents “What's Hot and What's
Getting Hotter!”
On Friday, Glazer presents “Direct
Composites: Simple, Easy and Beautiful!” (Session costs $250 and is limited
to 20 attendees.)
Also, you can learn more about
BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus at the Shofu

Achieving atraumatic extraction
Careful, considered use of Directa Dental Luxator helps the dentist divide and conquer the forces retaining a tooth
By Dr. Simon Jones
The extraction of a tooth is probably
the most traumatic event a patient can
experience in the dental office, and
if the extraction doesn’t go smoothly,
things can become quite stressful for
the dentist as well.
When the use of a simple surgical
instrument can make the extraction
process infinitely easier for both patient
and dentist, I find it surprising that not
all dentists reach for a Directa Dental
Luxator (Fig. 1) as their first instrument
of choice.
To understand how best to remove
a tooth, it helps to appreciate the
structures and forces that are holding
the tooth in position. It is only by overcoming these forces that the tooth can
be removed.
First, consider the bone structure
surrounding the roots. As the bone
sits intimately against the root surface, any irregularities, undercuts or
curvatures of the root will provide
mechanical retention. To overcome this
retention, the socket must be dilated
until the path of removal of the root is
unimpeded by bone.
The second factor resisting the
removal of the tooth is the periodontal
ligament, composed of collagen fibres.
Like millions of little ropes, the cumulative strength of these fibres resists
the strongest of biting forces. Imagine
how much force would be required to
overcome this combined strength in an
attempt to simply pull out a tooth.
The third force to overcome is that
of atmospheric pressure. Withdrawing
a tooth from its socket will create a void
or vacuum at the apex of the socket,
and until this void is filled with blood
or an ingress of air, then atmospheric
pressure will effectively push on the
tooth to keep it in position. Anyone
who can remember back to the Magdeburg Hemisphere experiment in school
physics will know that simple atmospheric pressure resisted the force of
two teams of horses pulling in opposite
directions.
Little wonder then that simply using
a combination of forceps and brute
force can lead to unnecessary loss of
alveolar bone, root fracture and a subsequently more stressful experience
for both patient and dentist. Dealing
with the fracture of a maxillary tuberosity can certainly ruin your day!
The careful and considered use of a
Luxator helps the dentist to divide and
conquer the forces retaining a tooth,
making the extraction process an infinitely more predictable and stress-free
process.
The appropriate size of Luxator is
chosen to match the diameter of the
root, and the angle of the blade is chosen
to give the best access.
The tip of the Luxator is gently
inserted into the gingival margin, with
the blade angled slightly toward the

root surface. This ensures that the Luxator enters the periodontal ligament
between the crestal bone and the root.
Once in the periodontal ligament,
the Luxator is worked down the length
of the root with a side-to-side rocking
motion and steady axial pressure (Fig.
2). This motion first severs the periodontal fibres, and then as the blade is introduced further, the socket is dilated to
allow an easier path of removal. Finally,
as the periodontal ligament is severed
and the socket dilated, bleeding and
air ingress overcome the vacuum that
resists tooth removal.
The Luxator should be inserted
around as much of the circumference of
the root as possible to evenly dilate the
socket. Once this has been achieved,
the final delivery of the tooth may be
performed with forceps, although this
is often not required with single-rooted
teeth.
When using a Luxator, the handle
should sit neatly in the palm of your
hand, cradled by your fingers and
thumb, with the index finger extended
toward the tip of the instrument (Fig.
3). This allows for precise control of the
tip and prevents the risk of slipping.
Excessive force should be avoided;
the Luxator is a surgical instrument
and should be used as such, not as an
elevator.
To complement its range of Luxators, Directa now produces an elevator called the Luxator Forte. Having
dilated the socket using a Luxator, if it is
felt that greater dilating and elevation
forces are required, then the stronger
Luxator Forte should be used.
The Luxator Forte is recognizable by
its black handle (Fig. 4). This sequence
of luxation, followed by elevation, generally means forceps are only ever used
for the final easy delivery of the tooth.
Having used Luxators for more than
20 years, I cannot imagine undertaking
the extraction of any tooth without first
severing the periodontal fibres with my
trusty friend.
It would be the equivalent of struggling to remove my boots without first
undoing the laces.

How to choose a laser
Dentist’s evaluation of wavelength, power, control and ergonomics arrives at the SIROLaser Advance
The promotion, popularity and success of laser treatment outcomes in nondental health care areas, such as ophthalmology, have made patients more
inquisitive about dental laser use. This
patient desire facilitates the investigation and use of lasers in all aspects of
dentistry by both patients and clinicians
alike. The benefit of laser use for softtissue treatment and management is
that treatments are often less invasive,
more precise and very conservative,
preserving healthy tissue while treating
the diseased site.
When evaluating which laser is best,
important considerations include: Who
will use it? What procedures will be performed? Why will it be beneficial? Where
will it be placed? And how will training be done? This simple, “who, what,
why, where, when and how” philosophy,
seems elementary; yet it is often overlooked during new technology acquisition. Also worthy of investigating are the
science of laser physics, the ergonomics
and device portability, the type of training, cost and dependability of the manufacturer.
How the laser interacts with tissue is
strictly dependent on laser physics. The
science does not change from device to
device, but the individual properties do.
I am often asked, “When will we have
one laser that will be the best to do everything?” With the introduction of the portable SIROLaser Advance we are as close
as the laws of physics will ever permit for
soft-tissue procedures.
This 980 nm class laser’s wavelength
takes advantage of soft tissue’s 70 percent
water content. Water is highly absorbed
by the 980 nm light energy, thus enhancing the laser’s ablating (vaporizing/
cutting) efficiency. The water absorption
coefficient of the 980 nm wavelength is
10 times greater than the 810 nm wavelength used by most other lasers.
Additionally, the 980 nm wavelength
interacts with tissue using light energy,
as well as thermal conduction. This
enables water irrigation to be used to cool
surrounding tissues, thus controlling
collateral thermal damage. This is not
possible with most lasers in the 800–940
nm range because such lasers’ interaction mechanism is strictly thermal
conduction, which could be negated by
the cooling process.
The SIROLaser Advance’s high,
14-watt peak power, with microsecond
pulse feature, enables microscopic tissue
to be precisely removed with each pulse
and enables thermal recovery (relaxation) between pulses, minimizing collateral tissue damage and postoperative
discomfort.
Also of benefit with the portable, battery-operated SIROLaser Advance are
its phenomenal ergonomics, including
an integrated finger switch that eliminates the need for another foot control.
It also has an intuitive, easy navigation
touch-screen. These simplification features work together to improve treatment outcomes.
With increasingly significant differences being introduced in dental lasers, it
is important to understand the features’
enhancement values. It is the responsibility of clinicians to be knowledgeable
about laser physics and select the best
devices for their practices. It is imperative that practitioners become properly
trained, especially on lasers they use, to
provide the best patient care possible.

The biggest challenge Instrumentarium Dental faces when encouraging
existing clients to upgrade equipment
is convincing them to let go of perfectly
functioning Instrumentarium systems
that may be decades old. The company
has clients worldwide using Instrumentarium X-ray systems bought in the early
1970s.
Given that the company developed
the technology in Finland in the 1950s
and sold its first system in 1961, user
loyalty is not so surprising. In fact, it’s on
the 50th anniversary of the 1961 introduction of the company’s Orthopantomograph® scanner, that the company
has produced its latest advancement in
dental panoramic X-ray imaging: the
Orthopantomograph OP300.
“It’s 50 years in the making,” said
Instrumentarium Territory Manager
Richard Kelstein. “And with the quality
of these machines, they just last forever.
We’re the oldest company doing this in
the world, which is a big reason why the
knowledge of our sales force is second
to none.”
Upgrading is a bit less of a challenge
these days for Instrumentarium and
its clients because all of its systems are
designed for quick, easy expansion from
2-D panoramic digital imaging to include
either cephalometric or cone-beam 3-D
imaging or a combination of both.
Drawing on the latest in CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor)
sensor technology and 14-bit image data,
the OP300 produces intensely sharp
images and ideal exposure levels. The
images provide highly accurate clinical
information for treatment planning. The
3-D imaging option enables clinicians
to see detailed anatomical structures
with three-dimensional reconstructions
and cross-sectional views. All of the
traditional Instrumentarium features
are included: stable, accurate patient
positioning; versatile planning and viewing software that is compatible with
most other applicable dental-practice
software; and a wide-range of settings
that enable optimized scanning time and
dose levels based on the specific patient
and procedure.
All Instrumentarium systems are
also available in the lower-priced Soredex line.
Working with dental professionals,
universities and research organizations,
Instrumentarium develops, manufactures and markets high-tech systems
for dental and maxillofacial imaging.
The company provides a full range of
imaging solutions for both intraoral and
extraoral imaging.

To learn more about the Dia-Pen and
Dia-Gun bulletproof method to seal
root canals and help ensure treatment
success, visit booth, No. 1323, in the
exhibit hall. Contact DiaDent at (877)
342-3368 or www.diadent.com.
The purpose of obturating a
root canal is to fill the space threedimensionally to eliminate any gateways through which bacteria might
enter. Thanks to DiaDent, dentists
can now have a bulletproof way to
seal root canals to help ensure treatment success. Studies indicate that
using the warm compaction technique
increases the chance that no voids will
be left behind in the obturation process.
Working together, the Dia-Pen cordless
warm-vertical-compaction device and
Dia-Gun cordless backfill system will
enable you to obdurate with confidence
and precision. While countless methods and techniques are available for
root canal, perhaps none is as easy and
time-saving as DiaDent’s complete
obturation system.
Dia-Pen is a cordless warm vertical
compaction device. It effectively and
tightly compacts and seals all canals
including lateral canals. After a canal
has been shaped and cleaned, a master
cone is selected for a snug fit and tug
back. Dia-Pen is then used to soften,
spread, cut and compact root canal filling material. Color-coded pen tips are
available in five different sizes, including XF, F, FM, M, and ML. Dia-Pen is
ergonomic and one of the lightest compaction devices in the market, weighing only 65 grams. Its quick-heating tip
reaches highest level of temperature of
220oC within one second to save treatment time. Three temperature settings
of low, medium and high give you full
control of any procedure.
The DiaDent Dia-Pen cordless
compaction device tightly compacts and
seals all canals, including lateral canals.

The DiaDent Dia-Gun cordless
obturation system extrudes warm
gutta-percha to backfill the yet unfilled
portion of the canal.
Dia-Gun is then followed. Dia-Gun
is a cordless obturation system that
extrudes warm gutta-percha to backfill
the yet unfilled portion of the canal. DiaGun comes with two types of disposable
tips (23G or 25G). The tips can be bent to
the desired shape and angle using the
multipurpose wrench provided. Using
the gutta-percha pellet included in the
kit, load one into the loading slot, and
push it into the heat chamber with the
hand plunger. Dia-Gun has three variable temperature settings (160oC, 180oC
and 200oC) to enable precise control of
obturation flow. Temperature reaches
200oC in just 25 seconds. The ergonomically designed 360-degree swivel tip
provides improved access, while the
thin tip eases narrow canal filling.
Another benefit is a lid for the heat
chamber that offers protection from
dirt and debris. Dia-Gun is designed to
provide reliability and precision while
delivering a fast, continuous flow of
canal-sealing gutta-percha.
Both Dia-Pen and Dia-Gun are easy
to clean and easy to use. Ergonomically designed features reduce hand
fatigue while offering excellent tactile
feedback. Instructional and introductory videos can be viewed on DiaDent’s
website at www.diadent.com.

Pacific Dental Conference — March 8, 2012
Three cool things to do in Vancouver
Don’t think Vancouver has it all?
Well here’s a combination of sights that
cover the broadest extremes you can
imagine. Start with a dramatic perspective on the unique environment of
a temperate rainforest, then take your
explorations to the ocean’s depths and
the far reaches of space.
1. The Cliffwalk at Capilano
Suspension Bridge
The suspension bridge has been a
popular destination for Vancouver
area residents and visitors for more
than 100 years. But the latest attraction
just opened this past summer, so you
can be among the first to visit. Billed,
as “not for the faint of heart," the high,
narrow Cliffwalk is a cantilevered,
suspended series of walkways jutting
out from a granite-faced cliff above the
Capilano River For some stretches of
the walkway, there’s nothing but glass
between you and the canyon floor
straight below.
Along with the Suspension Bridge,
Treetops Adventure and other attractions, the park presents a remarkable
way to explore a temperate rainforest.
Contact at (604) 985-7474.
2. The Vancouver Aquarium
More than 900,000 visitors wander
through the Vancouver Aquarium
every year, attracted by the more than
70,000 fascinating residents, including
jelly fish, octopuses, sea turtles, crocodiles, frogs, dolphins, seals, sea lions,
sharks, beluga whales and some of the
most exotic and colorful coral you can
imagine.
Located in Stanley Park, as a bonus
the facility is surrounded by 1,000
acres of woodlands, lakes, gardens,
beaches and wildlife, much of it accessible by an 8.8-kilometre stretch of the
22-kilometre seawall walking/cycling
trail that runs along the city's waterfront. Contact at (604) 659-3400.
3. The Gordon MacMillan
Southam Observatory

True, the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre
next door is the big draw, but on Saturday nights, the observatory opens
to the public. It boasts a half-metre
f/16 classical Cassegrain reflector telescope on a fork-style equatorial mount,
equipped with a 15 cm f/15 refractor
guidescope (achromatic lens).
The telescope's drive system is "goto" (fully computer controlled), based
on an Astrometrics Instruments servomotor package. Knowledgeable staff
and volunteers guide your exploration
and answer your questions. Contact at
(604) 738-2855.
