Record
breaker
More than 14,000 here in Vancouver
By Sierra Rendon, today Staff
n Pacific Dental Conference organizers are
excited to reveal that this year’s attendance
broke its record, with more than 14,000 attendees in Vancouver for this week’s meeting.
And it’s no wonder when you consider the
transformative education options, the everexpanding Exhibit Hall, the fourth PDC Lab
Expo and the Live Dentistry Stage on tap for
attendees.
Attendees make a beeline Thursday morning for the aisles of products, technology, samples and much more in the
Exhibit Hall of the Pacific Dental Conference. (Photos/Sierra Rendon, today Staff)

Lab Expo tomorrow
See the latest equipment, materials and methods
n Tomorrow, Saturday, March 7, the
PDC Lab Expo brings together dental
technicians and dentists to spend time
with a selection of top-tier companies
to exchange information and forge
new business relationships. The companies will be displaying the latest
technologies, equipment, materials and
methods.
All registered PDC attendees have
access to PDC Lab Expo. That means
everyone is welcome to attend the
expo’s sessions and exhibits. A lunch

The exhibit hall alone offers attendees an easy day’s worth of exploring,
and a host of activities and excitement, including:
• The Relaxation Station (Aisle
1300), where certified relaxation
practitioners provide chair massages
and reflexology.
• Arcade Games (Aisle 100), where
you can take a break from learning
and try your hand at retro arcade and
pinball machines.
• Fun Photos (Aisle 1800), a photo
booth where you can take a strip of
photos with colleagues and family.
• Oxygen Bar (Aisle 1100), recharge
your body with extra oxygen, which
fans say may reduce stress, relax the
body and increase energy.
In addition, you’ll want to check
out the aisles of new products, services and technology that can help
your dental practice reach maximum
potential.
With the coronavirus on the tip
of so many tongues this week, one
booth you’ll definitely want to check
out here at PDC is the SciCan booth,
No. 1013.
Why? As Alex Earnshaw, Canadian sales manager, explains, the
company’s OPTIM 33TB is one of
the fastest and most effective cleaners and disinfectants. “Come by the
booth and you can see a demonstration in which this product completely
detailed how-to on mastering simple
scanning and design techniques to
take full advantage of the technology’s
high accuracy — as well as its ability to
enhance patient understanding — to
enable you to convert more of your
consults into case acceptance.
removes all proteins and pathogens
in one step,” he said. The product is
a safe and effective way to protect
your patients, and yourself, while still
being non-irritating and non-toxic (no
skull and crossbones on the product
label), Earnshaw said. (You might
even want to get a container of OPTIM
33TB for your travels home!)
Another booth you’ll want to visit
is Dentsply Sirona, booth No. 430. It’s
safe to say that most everyone would
like to earn rebates and rewards for
the big purchases, which every dental
practice must make. Dentsply Sirona
has a new program, One DS, to help get
the most out of your dental dollars; so
stop by and ask about it.
Cashing in on show specials is
another way to make the most of your
money at a dental meeting. Here at
PDC, companies including DiaDent,
booth No. 1151, have new products
and many “buy one, get one free” specials and more, only for attendees. Be
sure to visit and learn about DiaTemp,
DiaDuo, DiaEtch and other innovative
new products by DiaDent.

n Billed as more than a just a movie
experience, the FlyOver Canada
attraction is described by its creators
as feeling more like a “ride” than a
movie.
Indeed, your “chair” ends up being
suspended, leaving your feet to dangle, as you’re enveloped by the giant
20-metre spherical screen for an eightminute journey flying at low altitude
across Canada, all while encountering
special effects of wind, mist and scents.
The total experience lasts 30 minutes, comprising three 10-minute
parts. Part 1 is the preshow “Uplift,”
a fully immersive audio-v isual installation designed to build anticipation
prior to the main ride. Part 2 is the
preboarding zone, with an entertaining preflight safety video. Part 3 is
the feature ride where you soar across
Canada feeling the grandeur of the
nation and the exhilaration of flight.
The FlyOver Canada film was shot
during the four seasons in all corners
of Canada, including Niagara Falls,
Ontario’s Muskokas and iceberg alley
off the coast of Newfoundland, to
name just a few of the locations. British Columbia is well-represented, too,
with scenes from: Lake Magog in Mt.
Assiniboine Provincial Park; helisking near Bella Coola; Blue Mountain
Winery and vineyards near Okanagan
Falls; Canada Place in Vancouver; a
seaplane in the lower mainland; and
First Nations water travel in Tofino.

Dr. Mark Roettger
Especially problematic with
children and adolescents
Our goal as dentists should always
be to optimize oral health for all our
patients. Most patients want to save
as many teeth as possible, but the
expense of endodontic treatment and
proper restorative care are beyond
their ability to pay. This is true for
adults and children alike, but these
problems can be especially problematic in children and adolescents.
Often these patients present with
multiple large carious lesions. Some

are non-restorable, but others are. The
best option for restoring a tooth with
a large carious lesion, is to maintain
pulp vitality. Biodentine® is in a new
class of materials that have high
biocompatibility and bioactive properties, both important in saving pulp
vitality while treating large carious
lesions.
Dentin-pulp complex forms
dentin bridge over areas where
caries have breached the dentin
Biodentine’s bioactivity allows it to
assist the dentin-pulp complex to form
a dentin bridge over areas where dental caries have breached the dentin
and invaded the pulp.
In our hospital dental department,
we have replaced Mineral Trioxide
Aggregate (MTA) products with Biodentine. We have done this because of
Biodentine’s superior handling properties combined with outcomes similar or superior to MTA.
Providing exceptional care in
shortest time possible
Properties that are important to our
hospital practice are set time, sealing
capability, compressive strength and
non-staining formula.
Set times are important in the
hospital practice as patients are often
in the operating room or emergency
department and require exceptional
care in the shortest time possible.
Unique setting reaction
Biodentine has a significant shorter
set time (10-12 mins) than MTA (175
mins), allowing you to accomplish
your procedure in a shorter period
of time.
The unique setting reaction of Biodentine allows for more complete
sealing of the material at the margins.
Formulation’s opacifier does not
contribute to staining
Another superior property of Biodentine over MTA is compressive
strength. The mechanical strength of
Biodentine at final set is more than two
times greater than MTA, which allows
us greater flexibility in applications.
Finally, the opacifier used in the
formulation of Biodentine does not
contribute to staining as the formulation of MTA.
Conclusions
Septodont has brought to dentistry a
high-tech dental material that is very
biocompatible and can be placed directly on pulp tissue without toxicity.
Biodentine can be used whenever
dentin is damaged. Its bioactivity
allows Biodentine to interact with dental tissues to promote osteo and angiogenic activity which promotes pulp and
tissue healing.
These properties make Biodentine
ideal for use in restorative dentistry
in deep caries excavation as a direct
or indirect pulp capping material. The
same properties make Biodentine useful in pediatric dentistry when doing
primary tooth pulpotomies and permanent tooth apexification procedures.
In endodontics, its bioactivity makes
Biodentine a material of choice in
repairing perforations, treating resorptions, as a retrograde filling material
and in new endodontic regeneration
procedures.

Pacific Dental Conference — March 6, 2020
Interview: Academy of Osseointegration President Dr. Jay Malmquist
n Jay Malmquist, DMD, FACD, FICD, FAO, shares his
experience with using the Osstell technology, which
helps clinicians objectively determine implant stability. He is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with a private practice in Portland, Ore. He is the 33rd president
of the Academy of Osseointegration. He is a diplomat,
past treasurer and past president of the American
Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
Could you please introduce yourself?
I have placed osseointegrated implants for more
than 30 years. I was originally trained by Professor
Brånemark and his team in 1984. I have used implant
therapy for more than 30 years and have done extensive work in bone grafting, guided tissue and bone
regeneration and protein therapy to enhance implant
outcomes, therapies and the implant platform. Having a noninvasive method for implant outcome evaluation is paramount to long-term success.
How do you use Osstell in your clinic and which are the
main clinical benefits that you have experienced?
My primary use of the Osstell instrument in my clinic
is to evaluate each implant at the time of placement
and again at the second stage abutment connection.
This allows for an objective way to evaluate the
implant healing and gives some indication of the shortterm and long-term success.
Progression of numbers will allow for an understanding of the bone quality and stability of the
implant during all phases of treatment. Specially, I use
AD
the Osstell at immediate load or early loading depending on what these definitions mean to the clinician.
We have certain ISQ numbers that help determine
the indications for immediate temporization of the
implant. Usually using a number of 65 ISQ as the cutoff
of the implant stability will allow for excellent shortterm and long-term results. We generally use the ISQ of
65 or 35-45 ncm as the low point for immediate loading
or temporization.
Prior to the final restoration, and returning the
patient to his/her restorative clinician, we again measure the implant in four quadrants to determine the
improved numbers and continued healing. A reversal
of the numbers indicates a problem, and we will delay
the final restoration or remove the implant fixture.
In this way, the Osstell instrument is very valuable
— avoiding a long-term failure of the final restoration.
It gives the restorative clinician a great deal of confidence in progressing forward.
We look for the continued increase in the numbers
from placement to final stage and use this as a primary
way to determine outcome success. Each clinician is
appraised of the progress with reporting of the ISQ
readings in follow-up letters.
Digitalization will become
even more encompassed into the
practice of placement and restoration; and noninvasive ways
to evaluate the implant will
become even more important.
Incorporating the placement
of the implant with devices that
immediately give a stability
number will be the treatment of
choice. More clinicians will prac- 5 Dr. Jay P.

fore, it is imperative to have tools (Photo/W&H)
that measure success. The placement protocols will continue to
be pushed, and more will try to give the patient immediate satisfaction. We must be careful not to lose the
patient’s trust with increased protocols in the future.
Finally, the future will allow for the incorporation
of tissue protein on the implant surface to further
enhance outcomes and improve the platform for more
patient treatments. Thank you for allowing me to
comment on the Osstell instrument. It is a wonderful
advance to implant therapy.
What changes are ahead in implant dentistry?
Implant therapy is changing. Implants as a product
have become a commodity as more are now on the
market. Techniques for placement and techniques for
evaluation will become even more important moving
into the future to ensure good outcomes.

Questions about surface
disinfectant and coronavirus
By SciCan Staff
n OPTIM disinfectants are proven
effective against viruses much tougher
to inactivate than coronavirus, such as
poliovirus and norovirus. This means
the OPTIM disinfectants can be used
against 2019-nCoV on hard, nonporous surfaces and noninvasive medical
devices.
What should I look for in a surface
disinfectant?
In a viral outbreak, such as the one
we are experiencing, use a hospital disinfectant that has a virucidal
claim against poliovirus, norovirus
or adenovirus. The disinfectant must
be registered (look for the DIN, EPA, or
CE mark on the label) and have something called a broad-spectrum claim.
What is a broad-spectrum claim?
There are different classes of pathogens, (i.e. bacteria, virus, etc.), and
each class has been assigned specific
microorganisms which are reflective
of the gold standard or more-difficultto-kill pathogen in that class.
A disinfectant that can deactivate
the gold standard in each of the
classes, can claim to be a broad- spectrum disinfectant.
Wha is OPTIM’s contact time for
coronavirus. What does that mean?
The contact time is the length of time a
disinfectant must be wet on a surface
to achieve the desired efficacy result.
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 to inactivate viruses including
coronavirus.*

Here at the PDC
To learn more about OPTIM 33TB and
other SciCan products, you can visit the
company in booth No. 1013.
How do you know OPTIM is effective
against an emerging virus like
coronavirus if it wasn’t tested?
OPTIM has been proven to inactivate
poliovirus, a non-enveloped virus that
is much tougher to destroy than the
coronavirus, an enveloped virus.
Here’s how it works: Because it is
both impractical and impossible to
test disinfectants against all known
and emerging viruses quickly enough
to address urgent infection control
needs, particularly during an outbreak, regulators such as the EPA,
Health Canada and Europe’s CEN use a
set of guiding principles or standards.
Disinfectants must meet the
requirements of the EPA’s emerging
viral pathogens claim, Health Canada’s Broad Spectrum Virucide claim
for emerging pathogens or the disinfectant testing guidelines stated in the
CEN overview standard EN 14885 and
virucidal standard EN 14476.
What do these guiding principles or
standards define?
According to these guiding principles,
a disinfectant may be considered
effective against an emerging virus
as long as it is capable of destroying
or irreversibly inactivating at least
one virus on a list of hard-to-kill non-
enveloped viruses (poliovirus, norovirus or adenovirus). OPTIM disinfectants inactivate poliovirus, which
belongs to that list. Because they
can inactivate polio, then they can
also inactivate coronavirus, which
belongs to a less robust class of enveloped viruses.
Have Health Canada and the EPA ever
used those guiding principles before?
Yes. In fact, due to OPTIM’s ability
to inactivate poliovirus, Accelerated
Hydrogen Peroxide® (the main ingredient in OPTIM) was named the chemical surface disinfectant of choice during the SARS outbreak of 2003. It was
used across Canada for disinfection
within all health-care facilities.
* 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.
