Speakers cover composites, ethics, conflict, more
n Among the many compelling speakers on today’s agenda are:
This morning Timothy M. Bizga,
DDS, presents “The Keys to Successful, Predictable and Efficient
Direct Composite Restorations.”
Direct composite restorations are
among the most frequently performed
restorative procedures, yet dentists
often struggle with placement technique, consistency and sensitivity.
This presentation will discuss current
thoughts on clinical and technical
elements that play a critical role in
proper material selection. In addition,
Bizga will provide essential concepts
for achieving long-lasting, esthetic
results. Bizga also will present a
hands-on course on this same topic.
Bizga is a general dentist practicing
in Cleveland, Ohio. His background
in dentistry is lengthy and diverse.
Once a former chairside assistant, he
also worked as a dental lab technician, making his perspective unique
among others in the field of dentistry.
He received his DDS from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry,
where he is also an adjunct clinical
professor.
Also this morning, David Clark,
DDS, presents “Better, Faster, Prettier Composites.” Billed as a “fastpaced and entertaining lecture,” the
session will cover: Class II, minimally
invasive prep design, “consistently
gorgeous” contacts and managing
deep caries. Also addressed will be:
use of composite and Bioclear to treat
the “dreaded black triangle” and diastemas; restoring incisal edges in worn
teeth, fractured teeth and collapsed
bites with confidence; achieving a
“sparkly, mirror-finish for composites
with the three-step ‘Rock Star Polish’
technique.” Clark also will present a
hands-on course on this topic.
On Friday morning, on the Exhibit
Hall’s live-dentistry stage, Clark presents “Treatment of the Dreaded
Black Triangle with the Bioclear
Method.” The combination of preformed mylar matrices and heated,
injection-molded composite resin enables predictable and conservative restoration of excessive gingival embrasures. Clark and Matt Irvine, DMD,
will demonstrate the closure of such a
“black triangle” embrasure from surface preparation to final polish. The
increasing prevalence of adult orthodontics and esthetic awareness make
this system a useful addition to the
tool kit, because these areas may be
corrected predictably, conservatively
and for long-term stability.
Clark founded the Academy of
Microscope Enhanced Dentistry and
is a board member and lecturer for
CRA. He lectures internationally and
authored the first guide to enamel and
dentinal cracks at 16x magnification,
also minimally invasive dentistry,
biomimetic endodontic shaping and is
an opinion leader in restorative dentistry and endodontics. He developed
Bioclear Matrix System.
Friday morning and again in the
afternoon, Amy L. Doneen, DNP,
presents “The Oral/Systemic Connection: Linking Perio Health to
Heart Attack & Stroke Prevention “
This course will elucidate essential
elements for establishing and main-

taining cardiovascular wellness. The
dental profession is positioned to play
a profound role in this regard. Oral
health staff and providers will learn
concurrent health issues and physical
traits their patients may have that can
heighten CV risk. Attendees will learn
about the wisdom of using technology
to detect asymptomatic CV disease
(CVD). This course will provide education regarding inflammation as the
cause of CVD. A special focus will be
directed toward oral health as a cause
of arterial disease.

ethics and communications issues.
This morning, he presents “Ethics and Professionalism in Dental
Advertising.” With so many dentists
to choose from, especially in urban
areas, and so much information available online, many dentists are concerned about patient retention and
attracting new patients and are feeling
the need to spend big on advertising or
be left behind. A dentist’s moral compass can be lost in the process. This
session will highlight the professional
implications of various marketing and
advertising strategies in dentistry. A
number of effective and professional
alternatives in marketing will be
presented along with a 10-step plan to
improve the dentist’s image.
This afternoon, Schwartz presents
AD
“Applied Ethics in Dental Practice.”
Discussions will examine cases that
highlight ethical conflicts and help
integrate the CDSBC Code of Ethics
and college guidelines into dental
practice situations. How does one
deal with sexual issues with staff and
patients? Issues such as child neglect,
domestic violence and insurance copayment can often confound many
dentists when they try to do the “right
thing.” By using this patient-centered
perspective and careful, ethical analysis, dentists can be better prepared
to deal with a wider variety of professionally challenging issues.
On Friday morning, Schwartz presents “The Basics of Recordkeeping.” Professional, ethical and legal
responsibilities dictate that a complete chart and record documenting
all aspects of each patient’s dental care

Additionally,
thorough dental records help protect the

occurs. This course will reinforce current guidelines in recordkeeping and

ness relationship, and dentistry is
no exception. When disagreements
occur and effective communication
channels remain open, matters are
often rectified in a timely fashion.
This can result in a greater sense of
mutual respect among the parties.
The net result is a closer, more professional and appreciative relationship
with business associates, patients and
employees.
This course will highlight conflictmanagement approaches that do and
do not work and will stress the importance of interpersonal communications and alternate dispute resolution
strategies.
Schwartz was in general practice
for 25 years and then taught applied
ethics, interpersonal communications
and professionalism for 16 years at
Schulich Medicine & Dentistry, Western University at London, Ontario. He
has conducted research, published
numerous papers and has spoken
at many conferences nationally and
internationally on the subject of dental ethics.
On Friday morning, and repeating
in the afternoon and on Saturday
morning, Wendy Somerville, MSc,
will present “Infection Control:
Does Your Practice Need a Revised
Treatment Plan?” Increasingly
stringent infection-control guidelines, media attention about lapses
in practice and patient concern have
required dentists to adapt to and apply
progressively complex policies and
practices to provide safe and professional dental care.
This talk will explore the rationale
behind recent changes in provincial
infection-control guidelines and provide approaches and solutions that
will aid in determining how your practice may need to adapt to ensure that
you are providing dental care that
satisfies regulatory requirements and
addresses patient safety concerns.
Somerville has provided infectioncontrol consultation for 17 years in
inpatient and outpatient medical settings as well as for dentistry and medical device reprocessing. Since 2009,
she has coordinated the Infection Control Program for the McGill University
Faculty of Dentistry and has recently
participated in drafting the updated
infection-control guidelines for the
Order of Dentists of Québec.

DiaDent Dia-Duo
Obturation System
Intuitive, time-saving method
and technique will change your
approach to root canal therapy
By DiaDent Staff
n The purpose of obturating a root
canal is to fill the space three-dimensionally to eliminate any pathways
through which bacteria might enter.
Thanks to DiaDent, doctors can now
have a bulletproof way to seal root
canals that will help ensure treatment
success.
Use of warm compaction
reduces chances of voids
Studies indicate that using the warm
compaction technique increases the
chances that no voids will be left
behind in the obturation process.
The Dia-DuoTM Obturation System
is a newly introduced piece of technology comprising both the Duo-Gun
Backfill Obturation System and the
Duo-Pen Warm Vertical Compaction
Device.
‘Elegant and ergonomic design’
With what the company describes as
an “elegant and ergonomic design,”
DiaDent’s Dia-Duo Obturation System,
according to the company, provides
an easy, intuitive and time-saving
method and technique that will revolutionize the way practitioners perform root canal therapy.
Duo-Pen: Cordless, warm
vertical compaction
Duo-Pen is a cordless warm vertical
compaction device. According to
DiaDent, the device 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. Duo-Pen is

Disinfectant effective against Coronavirus
By SciCan Staff
n OPTIM has demonstrated effectiveness against viruses similar to
Novel Coronavirus on hard non-porous
surfaces and non-invasive medical
devices. This product can therefore be
used against 2019-nCoV when used in
accordance with the directions for use
against Poliovirus on hard, non-porous
surfaces and non-invasive medical
devices.
This enveloped virus, also known
as 2019-nCoV, is part of a family of
viruses that can cause a range of
illnesses from the common cold to
SARS and MERS. What makes this
coronavirus unique is that it is a strain
never before seen in humans. While it
is new, it belongs to a class of viruses
that are easier to kill than much
tougher viruses such as Poliovirus or
Norovirus.
OPTIM meets the requirements of
the EPA’s emerging viral pathogens
claim, Health Canada’s Broad Spectrum Virucide claim for the emerging
pathogens and the European CEN’s
overview standard EN 14885 and virucidal standard EN 14476.

Here at the PDC
To learn more about OPTIM, visit booth
No. 1013.
OPTIM Blue and OPTIM 33TB have
a one-minute virucidal contact time.
OPTIM 1 has a 30-second virucidal
contact time.* That means that the
surface must remain wet for only 1
minute in order to inactivate viruses
including Novel Coronavirus.
For the public, this outbreak has
heightened awareness around the
dangers and spread of viruses, but for
health-care workers it reinforces the
importance of properly completing
and monitoring standard infection
control protocols.
Oral health-care workers are to follow standard infection control protocols. Between patient visits, clean and
disinfect all clinical contact surfaces
such as the dental chair. Also, make
sure to regularly clean and disinfect
surfaces that present the highest
risk of infection in your SteriCentre
(e.g. surfaces that come into contact
with contaminated instruments
and gloves). Before you clean or
disinfect contaminated surfaces,
ensure you are wearing the proper
PPE as per local infection control
guidelines. As stated on OPTIM
disinfectants’ Safety Data Sheets,
PPE is not required to handle the
product because it is not irritating
to the skin. However, PPE such as
utility gloves must be worn to protect oral health care workers from
infectious materials.
OPTIM instructions for use:
Before using OPTIM in your office
for the very first time, remove any
residue left on surfaces from your
previous disinfectant by washing all
surfaces with soap and warm water.
Thoroughly dry the surfaces.
1. To use OPTIM wipes, pull out a
pre-moistened wipe at a 45-degree
angle and close the lid.
2. When using the Ready-to-Use
OPTIM liquid, spray the solution onto
a SciCan Dry Towelette.
3. Wipe the surface down evenly
and thoroughly to clean and disinfect.
Evenly apply to surfaces to avoid any

unnecessary pooling.
4. Be sure to leave the surface wet
for the contact time indicated on the
label.
5. When using any disinfectant on
surfaces, it is best practice to periodically rinse and dry the surfaces with
soap and water. SciCan’s recommendation is to do this at least once a week.
You can contact SciCan at (800) 6677733 with any questions.
*OPTIM 33TB is available in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. OPTIM 1
is available in the U.S. and Europe.
OPTIM Blue is available in Europe.
