Celebrating its 95th year, the
Greater New York Dental Meeting is
looking pretty chipper, continuing to
deliver a forward-focused program
that secures its status as the biggest
dental meeting and exposition in the
United States and among the most
popular dental meetings in the world.
The international flavor of the
event is inescapable, with the flags
of various represented countries providing a commanding presence in the
Crystal Palace — the soaring, 15-story

It’s a fittingly big welcome by
a meeting that continues to post
its own soaring numbers: Last year
the meeting welcomed 52,320 registrants, among which 20,187 were
dentists, 3,949 were hygienists, 5,206
were dental assistants and 2,319 were
office administrators, according to
meeting organizers. The numbers
confirm the meeting’s reputation as
a source of education and insight for
the entire dental team — including
those in the lab, with the Dental Laboratory Technician four-day conference returning for its third year.
Other sector conferences running
parallel with the overall meeting
include the 3-D Printing & Digital Dentistry Conference; the World Implant
Expo; Global Orthodontic Conference;
the New York State Academy of Gen-
eral Dentistry Public Health Conference; the second Pediatric Dentistry
Summit; the Sleep Apnea Symposium;
and the International Oral Cancer
Symposium.
Consolidating all of these sectors in
the meeting’s expansive exhibit hall
are 1,700 booths staffed by top talent from the world’s most renowned
dental companies and organizations.
Regardless of specialization or special interest, attendees can experience the industry’s most up-to-date
and innovative technologies, methods, products and procedures.
Also among the exhibit hall’s
many highlights is the 425-seat Live
Dentistry arena, featuring top clinicians performing real-time procedures with patient volunteers. Sessions are scheduled throughout the
four days, including today’s three
sessions on “Simplifying Posterior
3
Composites,” “Successful Options for
In-Office Whitening” and “Today’s
Digital Implant Workflow.”
Also on today’s agenda are sessions associated with the “All-Day
Botox and Facial Fillers Seminar/
Workshop,” the “Women Dentists
Leadership Conference: Roadmap for
Success” and the “Hispanic Dental
Association Program.”
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today is the
“Scientific Poster Session” by residents, post-graduate dentists, dental
students, dental hygienists students
and international presenters. One
C.E. credit can be earned through
attendance at the poster sessions,
which are located outside of the special events hall on Lower Level 1.
With the opening of the exhibit
hall, Sunday is always a big day at the
GNYDM, but it’s also just a hint, with
three more big days yet to come.

helped organize the world’s first Consensus Conference on State of the Science on Implant Dentistry and is the
co-author of the consumer reference
book “The Perfect Smile: The Complete Guide to Cosmetic Dentistry.”
Asked about what changes he
would implement as GNYDM general
chairman, Doundoulakis said, “First
and foremost, if it’s not broke, don’t
fix it.
“GNDYM is the greatest dental
meeting in the world. We have a winning formula,” he said. “We want to
continue that formula, and on top
of that, we want to expand to new
horizons. And, of course, every year
we want to promote the latest, the
greatest, the fastest and the most successful and predictable techniques
and equipment for the dental professionals and dental specialists.”
Doundoulakis added, “We are
going to expand next year our dental implant program, our esthetic
program and start new programs,
including a special needs program
for patients who require advanced
care, above and beyond their dental
needs.”
Regarding international attendees, who are a growing part of parAD

ticipants, Doundoulakis said large
numbers come from Latin America.
The general chairman-elect said:
“My vision is to make the Greater New
York Dental Meeting even more accessible to the international dental community. Latin American dentists have
been attending, but we would like to
expand our opportunities to dentists
Greater New York Dental Meeting — Dec. 1, 2019
who practice in Europe, Africa and
Asia. But, as I said, we have many
predictable and successful programs
that GNYDM has had for multiple
years, and we are going to continue
those programs and continue to make
them a success. We hope everyone
will strongly consider attending the
meeting, not only this year but in 2020
and 2021, when I will be general chairman of the GNDYM.”
Regarding opportunities for European, African and Asian dentists to
attend GNYDM, the implant dentistry
specialist said: “We have many events
throughout the week that we offer our
attendees at the Jacob Javits, which is
one of the largest convention centers
in the country. One of the reasons we
don’t have as many tours as some of
the other meetings around the country have is that we are in one of the
most exciting cities in the world. We
have great shows, great theater, great
museums, great restaurants — we
offer New York as our backdrop. Our
attendees come to the best meeting in
the U.S., maybe one of the best in the
world, and you also have New York
City to visit.”
Costs, however, can be a barrier for
dentists from developing countries,
because New York is an expensive city.
Doundoulakis said that GNYDM
has “38 affiliated hotels, and half
of them give us prices that are well
under the average New York hotel
room rate, and they can accommodate
two-to-three individuals per room, so
the cost per night is manageable for a
visit to New York.”
Regarding his plans to expand
the World Dental Implant Congress,
which is part of GNYDM, the chairman elect said that having been past
president of the Academy of Osseointegration, he has collaborated with all
dental implant associations.
“We offer courses with lectures by
very well-known educators, the costs
at our meeting are less per program
than at other venues, and we offer
a huge exhibit space for all the dental community, not only for dental
implant specialists,” he said.
Doundoulakis concluded by saying: “We are looking forward to greeting everybody who comes to enjoy
New York City, to enjoy the education
and the exhibit space at GNYDM. You
won’t be disappointed. As one of the
largest meetings in the U.S., I can
assure you, not just personally, but
like all the attendees who have been
to this meeting will stand behind me
and say, that it is one of the best experiences for the dental community in
the world.”

Dental Tribune Latin America
n
In the crowded field of dental
events, where many can look alike,
the expertly organized 2019 Glidewell Dental Symposium is a rare treat
that plays by its own rules.
More than a thousand dentists
seemed to agree when they met
Nov. 8-9 in Orlando, Fla., at the Hilton
Bonnet Creek & Waldorf Astoria hotel
for the third annual Glidewell Dental
Symposium.
Praised for its clinical, educational
and networking values, the symposium offered interesting lectures,
short and to the point, which allowed
for the inclusion of up to 14 speakers
per day. Meanwhile, the Panel Discussion sessions allowed attendees to ask
questions to speakers immediately
following presentations, providing
a direct and interactive communication platform between attendees and
experts.
In his opening remarks, Jim Glidewell, president and CEO of Glidewell
Laboratories and Glidewell Dental,
described how he founded at his
home, almost 50 years ago, what is
now “the largest dental laboratory
in the world with a staff of 5,000
employees.”
The CEO of the Newport Beach,
Calif.-based company, added that
Glidewell has also “become very
large in research and development”
and in finding ways to provide less
expensive crowns for patients of all
economic strata. “We are trying to do
crowns for everybody,” he said.
While the company has evolved
into a leader in the development of
cutting-edge dental materials, products and digital design systems like
“glidewell.io,” this didn’t stop Jim
Glidewell from walking around the
exhibit area all day, where he made
himself readily available to attendees
who wanted to ask him questions,
another sign of how different the
Glidewell Dental Symposium is from
other dental events.
Neil Park, vice president for clinical affairs and editor of Glidewell’s
“Chairside” magazine, jump-started
the symposium with a summary of
the event’s scientific program, including lectures by dental leaders, such
as Jack Hahn, Carrie Webber, Paresh
B. Patel, Anamaria Muresan, Randolph R. Resnik and David Hochberg,
among others. Lectures were complemented by an intensive program of
hands-on workshops.
The issues discussed provide a
clear picture of the forward-thinking
way in which Glidewell approaches
dentistry. They included varied top-

ics, such as “Mill it Chairside or Send
it to the Lab?”, “Digital Dentistry:
Much More Than Crowns,” “Getting
Your Patients to Say ‘Yes’ to Big
Cases,” “Full-Arch Implant Restorations for GPs” and “The Emergency
Implant,” by Keynote Speaker Jack
Hahn, known for his Hahn Implants
System.
Attendee Ivan Quintana, who practices in Sacramento, Calif., and participates in many dental meetings and
events, said: “I have never seen such
high-quality speakers in one day.”
Quintana praised the presentations,
saying that they were “very scientific
and didn’t mention sponsor companies, like they do at other events.”
Tampa, Fla.-based clinician Nicolas Nieto agreed, saying it was an
“excellent” event. “It’s well-organized, and the topics discussed were
very good.” As for the products on
exhibit, he said he liked “the new
bone-graft regenerative materials” of
the Newport Biologics line.
The exhibit area showcased a
large array of materials, products and
advanced new technologies. Account
manager Jesse Hernandez explained
the digital design system “glidewell.
io,” which he calls Glidewell’s newest
innovation in digital technology.
“It allows clinicians to provide
same-day dentistry, along with the
most reliable materials, like BruxZir,
which is the number one zirconia on
the market right now,” he said.
This advanced design software
seamlessly integrates data input from
the intraoral scanner, guides the clinician step-by-step through the digital
design process of the restoration and
suggests the best material to mill it
in the most efficient way, he said. All
of this can be accomplished in two
hours, according to Hernandez, who
added the system is very intuitive and
easy to use.
Advances in the new material
BruxZir Esthetic Solid Zirconia allow
this material to be used in the esthetic
zone due to its high translucency.
However, at the same time, it’s also
strong enough to be placed in the
posterior zone of the mouth.
Clinicians, in fact “can do threeand four-unit bridges without fear
of fracture or that it would not blend
in with the surrounding teeth,” said
Muresan, clinical research director
at Glidewell.
This type of zirconia, which comes
sandblasted from the lab, can also
be manufactured thin enough so it’s
not bulky on the teeth, she said, but
strong enough so it can be placed
without the worry of fracture, if
applying with strong pressure.
The use in the esthetic zone of
BruxZir Esthetic is due in large part
to the inclusion of yttrium, a material
that adds a natural-looking translucency to zirconia. According to
Muresan, results of a three-year clinical trial show high esthetics in the
anterior zone, durability and also an
easier and more reliable procedure
for bonding.
Materials like obsidian ceramics,
the Hahn Implants System and a
line of products to reduce snoring
and obstructive sleep apnea, like the
Silent Nite mouthguard, were also
presented at the symposium.

STELLAR materials at the
forefront of implant surgery
By TAUB Products Staff
n All-on-X immediate and delayed
load full-arch guided surgeries have
become the pinnacle procedure in
implant full-mouth smile reconstruction.
Full-arch guided surgeries offer a
patient with an otherwise non-existent smile the ability to have a confidence-inspiring smile with excellent
occlusion and alignment, according
to TAUB products.
A guided surgery is not inexpensive for the patient; it has a price tag
that causes the patient to expect the
very best components and materials
are used for the very best results.
If the patient must return to the
office due to PMMA denture fractures
at the cylinder interface during the
middle of the healing phase, not only
is the patient upset, but the labor and
time to fix the issue and reseat the
healing denture will seriously affect
the overall profit, patient confidence,
doctor confidence in material resin
choice and predictable outcomes of
the procedure, TAUB asserts.
STELLAR DC Acrylic is a revolutionary, dual-cure PMMA pick-up
and conversion resin with excellent
cure speed and unsurpassed durability over other pick-up resin used for
All-on-X denture pick-ups and conversions, according to the company. It
can speed up the pick-up and conversion time by more than 30 minutes.
STELLAR offers extreme, “rock
hard” durability and won’t fracture
during the healing phase, when used
as directed, TAUB states. STELLAR
DC Acrylic resin is great for creating implant-verification jigs, bonding

No. 2908. Please stop by for a demonstration, to grab literature and to place

index jig components, transfer and
insertion guides for implants; open

picking up denture locators and chimneys; and creating structure models
of implant components; and repairing
dentures.
It can be tack cured in about eight
to 10 seconds, fully light cured in 20
seconds and will cure on its own in
120 seconds. It provides the fastest
production time of any acrylic, has
no shrinkage, has no polymerization heat during cure and causes no
tension after cure, according to the
company.
Officially launching at this year’s
GNYDM, STELLAR Attachment is
specially formulated for picking up
“locator” overdenture attachments.
Utilizing very similar technology to
STELLAR DC Acrylic, our STELLAR
Attachment offers a four-minute selfset time. This offers clinicians ample
working time to position and pick-up
multiple overdenture attachments at
once.
“The STELLAR family of PMMA
Acrylics are a game changer for
pick-up and conversions of immediate load temporary restorations and
locator overdenture attachments,”
said Jordan Taub, vice president,
TAUB Products. “Using our chemistry and technology, the CDT, super GP
and periodontist now have an ultradurable, fast setting, no heat, no
shrinkage acrylic that dramatically
reduces production times.”
TAUB is well known for FUSIONZr Dual Cure Zirconia Cement and
an implant restorative system consisting of three products that solve
many issues when placing cement
and screw-retained implant restorations: GoCHx Gel Syringeable Chlorhexidine, Liquid Magic Resin Barrier abutment access plug and ZERO-G
Bio-Implant Cement.
TAUB Products is located here at
booth No. 2908. Stop by for a demonstration, to grab literature and to
place your orders.
TAUB Products is also currently
looking to build up its relationships
with lecture-based clinicians. If you

value in your dental education program, please stop by the booth, call

Dentapen: It’s the
next-generation CCLAD
Device is small, lightweight and ergonomic,
and can help reduce patient discomfort and pain
By Septodont Staff
n The Dentapen’s lightweight, ergonomic design
sets it apart from the competition, according to
Septodont, the company behind the product. There
are no cords, no console and no long tubing. The
entire device fits in the palm of your hand. It is
actually smaller and lighter than many traditional
syringes. It allows dentists to give slow, consistent
injections, thereby reducing patient discomfort
and pain.
It’s common knowledge that many patients fear
going to the dentist, and the No. 1 reason why is
they fear getting injections. That fear may be the
result of a bad experience or it may be because
many injections hurt. They hurt because many
dentists deliver an entire cartridge of anesthetic
in less than 20 seconds.
Local anesthetics are acidic, and delivering
anesthetic quickly stings. It’s like squirting some
lemon juice on a cut. Slowing down an injection
allows the body to raise the pH of the anesthetic,
thereby reducing the sting.
Dental injections can also be painful and
damage tissue because of pressure variations. A
human hand just can’t maintain even pressure in
the same way that a computer-controlled device
can. Too much pressure and the patient will experience pain.
Using the Dentapen will improve the patient
experience by providing more comfortable and
consistent injections, according to the company.
With a Dentapen, dentists can focus more on the
patient and less on their technique.
The intuitive design of the Dentapen means
there is no steep learning curve. It isn’t necessary
to adapt a technique to the device, but rather the
device allows a dentist to use the same techniques
as a standard syringe but improves upon the
result.
Assembling and operating the Dentapen is
simple, according to the company. There are two
choices of grips that allow you to hold it like a traditional syringe or like a pen.
It accommodates standard dental anesthetic
cartridges and needles — no need for special proprietary supplies.
It offers three speeds and two modes, making
it easy to choose the right options for each type of
injection.
The Dentapen was designed with patient comfort and safety in mind. That is why it includes
automatic aspiration. To aspirate, simply activate
the flow by pressing down on the finger grip, and
stop the flow by pressing it a second time. The
plunger will retract a little, creating the negative
pressure needed for aspiration, and then return to
its starting position.
Every time the flow is stopped, aspiration will
occur.
Here in New York

Septodont booth, No. 3219.
The Dentapen can be held like a syringe or like a
pen and is probably smaller than you might think.

With a Dentapen, injections are more comfortable for patients, more comfortable for dentists

Greater New York Dental Meeting — Dec. 1, 2019
Maintain unlimited arm motion with Posiflex
By RGP Staff
n RGP is closing in on its 26th year in
business. It seems like just yesterday
the company was introducing the
dental community to its Relax and
Hydro Armrests.
Right from the inception, dental
professionals understood the importance of taking the load off of their
arms and back, the company said,
adding that RGP was there to help.
In its constant pursuit of innovation and excellence in the seating
industry, RGP has added the Posiflex
Arm Supports to its line of seating
options for the dental community.
These arms have been around for
years but have been available only
through certain dealers and mostly
outside of the United States.
RGP is proud to announce it now
offers the Posiflex Arm System as a
great complement to any of its stools.
The Posiflex Arms also adapt to any
non-RGP brand stool as well.
Available in dual or single, the
Posiflex Armrest is a dynamic armrest that allows the user unlimited

motion in one or both arms, according to the company. In and out, left
to right, circular and much more,
the Posiflex Armrest literally follows
users wherever their arms go.
With tension motion adjustments,
height markers to mark the height of
the arms and a soft arm gel pad that
can be used for an elbow or forearm
rest, the Posiflex Armrest is a great
option for people who want fluid and
unrestricted support at times but also
like stable support here and there as
well, the company asserts.
The sleek design keeps the overall chair dimensions at a minimum,
which is always important in a dental
operatory, according to the company.
RGP President Kevin Amaral was
asked about the impact these armrests have made for his customers.
He said: “The Posiflex Arm system
has really complemented our stools
nicely. People have come to understand that we offer a premium dental
stool that is leaps and bounds above
your everyday run-of-the-mill dental
stool. It was only right that we added
the Posiflex Arms to our line, and the
response and feedback from our customers has been wonderful.”
RGP invites you to stop by its booth,
No. 1015, here in New York.
RGP will be offering a one-of-akind show special that is only valid
during the four-day exhibit hall, so be
sure not to miss it.

Greater New York Dental Meeting — Dec. 1, 2019
Breakthrough non-surgical
laser sleep applications
can aid dentistry patients
By Harvey S. Shiffman, DDS
n
Snoring and sleep-disordered
breathing affects millions of Americans, both adults and children.1,2 The
signs and symptoms are the result
of partial or complete collapse of
the upper airway during sleep.3 The
structures involved in our protocol
include the soft palate, uvula and the
base of the tongue.4 The goal of the
treatment is to decrease the amount
of blockage of the upper airway.5
Dentists are in a great position to
help screen and, in many cases, treat
these problems with airway health
management.
The gold standard for the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing is
the CPAP-type device. Following that,
in 1981, was the introduction of mandibular advancement devices (MAD).
Both of these treatment modalities
show a reduction in compliance over
time and significant side effects.
However, the NIGHTLASE ™ Snoring and Sleep Apnea Reduction Therapy protocol is a unique approach
to treatment using the Fotona Lightwalker dental laser with a proprietary protocol and handpiece. Another
positive benefit is the 24-hour-a-day
improvement in nasal breathing vs.
CPAP and MAD.
NIGHTLASE uses the photothermal capabilities of the Fotona Lightwalker laser to convert and initiate
the formation of new and more elastic
collagen.6 The target mucosal tissues are the oropharynx, soft palate
and uvula. The proprietary “Smooth
Mode” pulse characteristics create a
non-ablative heat generation that initiates the conversion of existing collagen to more elastic and organized
forms and also initiates “neocollagenesis,” the creation of new collagen.
The effect of the laser energy as it
penetrates (by transmission) deeper
into the tissues is a low-level photobiomodulation that directly affects the
fibroblast cells and has been found
to stimulate protein production from
quiescent cells.7
This process results in a visible
elevation of the soft palate and uvula

Snoring and Sleep Apnea Reduction
Therapy protocol and the Fotona Lightwalker dental laser, stop by booth

and tightening of the oropharyngeal
tissues, which leads to an improvement in the upper airway volume.
The results can be seen in the photos above.
NIGHTLASE therapy is indicated
for cases when the patient has been
diagnosed with chronic snoring,
UARS or mild to moderate sleep
apnea and either cannot or chooses
not to wear a MAD appliance or
CPAP device. It can also be used in cotherapy with those devices.
NIGHTLASE has a significant success rate in producing a positive
change in sleep patterns. Research
published by Miracki and Visintin8
has shown that it can reduce and
attenuate snoring and provides an
effective non-invasive modality to
lessen the effects of obstructive sleep
apnea.
NIGHTLASE therapy is not a
permanent alteration and lasts from
six to 12 months and is easily touched
up at follow-up appointments.
We consider NIGHTLASE to be
another tool in our treatment “toolbox,” giving us more options and the
possibility of better results when
used in combination with MADs and
CPAP for those patients who may
not get adequate improvements from
those therapies alone.

n
New York City is constantly
changing. For visitors, there are more
attractions, more things to see and
do, than ever before. Even many of
the city’s most famous tourist spots,
such as the Empire State Building and
Liberty Island, have been revamped
within the past year!
Therefore if you are in town for the
Greater New York Dental Meeting and
want to do a little sightseeing, you can
have the world at your feet. Read on
for some ideas, and don’t forget your
selfie stick.
The Empire State Building
The Empire State Building — New
York City’s most famous skyscraper,
which is located five blocks due east
from the Javits Center — has completely reimagined its experience
for sightseers. The changes, which
were unveiled this fall, include a new
museum on the second floor. From
there, you can be whisked to the main
observatory on the 86th floor. You can
also visit a completely refurbished
“top deck” observatory, on the 102nd
floor. The views from both levels are
spectacular, especially when the sky
is clear.
If you go: Enter on West 34th Street.
You can visit any time during the day
or even very late at night. Hours are
from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. Prices start at $38
for adults and $32 for children and go
up from there. Advance tickets are
available at www.esbnyc.com. There’s
also an app, called Empire State Building Guide.
Even more views: You can also visit
the Top of the Rock Observation Deck,
at Rockefeller Center, 30 Rockefeller
Plaza, www.topoftherocknyc.com.
There’s also One World Observatory, at the top of One World Trade
Center, www.oneworldobservatory.
com.
Hudson Yards and Vessel
Also located near the Javits Center is
Hudson Yards, a new, modern public
square that includes a shopping mall,
restaurants and live performances,
Statue of Liberty Museum
You can climb Vessel (pictured) or simply gaze at it from New York City’s newest public square, Hudson Yards, located just a few steps from the Javits Center.

all amid a cluster of high-rise luxury
apartment buildings. The visual centerpiece of Hudson Yards is called
Vessel, which is an interlocking grid
of staircases that can be climbed or
simply admired from ground level.
This iconic structure, which opened
to the public in March, has quickly
become one of the most photographed
attractions in New York.
If you go: To visit Hudson Yards
from the Javits Center, simply cross
11th Avenue and go right (south). It’s
free to enter Vessel, but you need
tickets, which are given out on a first-
come, first-served basis. You can get
the tickets on site beginning each
day at 9:30 a.m., or go online to www.
hudsonyardsnewyork.com.
A nearby stroll: From Hudson Yards
you can enter The High Line, www.thehighline.org, an elevated rail platform
that has been turned into a public
park. It snakes its way down into the
West Village, offering unmatched
views of urban street life. Winter
hours are daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Museum of Modern Art
If you love art, you know that some
This past May, a new Statue of Liberty Museum, www.statueofliberty
museum.org, opened on Liberty
Island. The museum tells the story of
how the 150-foot copper statue was
conceived and built as a gift from
the French people. On display is the
statue’s original torch, as it appeared
atop the monument in 1886, as well as
copper replicas of Lady Liberty’s face
and foot.
If you go: Admission to the new
Statue of Liberty Museum is free,
but to get there you have to take a
boat from either Battery Park or from
Liberty State Park in New Jersey. Visit
Statue Cruises, www.statuecruises.
com, for tickets and information.
Prices start at $18.50 for adults and
$9 for children.
More bang for your buck: On the
way to Liberty Island, your boat will
also stop at Ellis Island, which also
has a museum. It’s definitely worth
visiting. And be sure to check out the
glorious views of the Lower Manhattan skyline on the way to and from.
