Pacific Dental Conference — March 11,
10, 2011

Live on stage today: finding
the optimal physiologic bite
n One of the most important and
fundamental skills a dentist can have
is the ability to find the optimal physiologic bite.
Bite optimization is based on the
sound principles of mandibular
occlusion, which allows the oromandibular system to rest sufficiently and to optimally function
upon demand. It is the science and
art of determining and maintaining
specific relationships of the entire
body’s structures.
This morning at 9 a.m., Clayton A.
Chan, DDS, will present ‘Obtaining
a Physiologic Bite for Optimal Functions.’
This Live Dentistry Stage demonstration will show three bite tech-

niques: cheek retraction, Myomonitor
Tens and K7 Jaw Tracking.
The clinician will learn these techniques and be able to easily apply
them after learning the key scientific

principles of physiologic bite recording. More live demonstrations of the
optimized bite will be done at the
Triumphant Athletics Group booth
(Agility Guard).

the hundreds of booths in the

Pacific Dental Conference — March 11, 2011

Instrumentarium celebrates
50 years of digital imaging
n For the past 50 years, Instrumentarium Dental has been pioneering
imaging systems designed for professionals. From the original Orthopantomograph® OP1 to today’s Orthopantomograph® OP300, the company’s
years of experience and expertise
guarantee customers a safe investment for their practices.

The Orthopantomograph OP300 is
one of the most comprehensive threein-one imaging platforms designed
for today and tomorrow. The OP300
combines advanced panoramic imaging with either cephalometric and/or
cone-beam 3-D imaging, giving clinicians a truly adaptable platform.
The fundamental design principle

of the OP300 is the adaptability and
upgradeability to not only presentday technologies but to future technological advancements. With that
being said, Instrumentarium and the
OP300 are pioneering two unique features for its customers going forward.
The OP300 multilayer panoramic
option provides five panoramic

images with only one scan. The multilayer images are achieved in the same
scan time and dose as the traditional
panoramic scan, so there are no
adverse effects to patients.
This feature allows for forgiving
patient positioning when encountering patients with Class 2 or Class 3
occlusion. It also reduces possible
retakes because it has one of the largest focal areas on the market today.
The second advancement on the
Orthopantomograph OP300 is the
two-dimensional SmartView scout
image used in cone-beam imaging.
This feature allows operators the
comfort of knowing the 3-D volume is
properly placed.
In addition, unlike other systems
on the market, the Orthopantomograph OP300 does not require the
patient to be repositioned if the SmartView image reveals that the positioning of the volume needs adjustment.
All adjustments are made on the
large user interface, and the machine
moves to the patient rather than the
patient moving to the machine.
Lastly, the Orthopantomograph
product line offers customers the
unique ability to upgrade to any or
all of the available options down the
road, which provides added comfort
in knowing that you purchased a system that can grow with you over time.
