F

DI World Dental Federation
and Unilever Oral Care are celebrating an important milestone this year, the 10th anniversary
of Live.Learn.Laugh., our unique
global public-private partnership
in oral health promotion. On this
special occasion, we take the opportunity to look back with pride at
our most important achievements
in the long race to improve oral
health around the world.

WOHD 2014
106 countries, 5 continents, 1 day

Thank you for your support
worldoralhealthday.org

Organized by:

In partnership with:

The early years of the partnership saw a pioneering phase 1 in
which FDI member National Dental
Associations collaborated with
Unilever Oral Care local companies
to improve oral health. From 2005 to
2009, 39 diverse projects were implemented in 36 countries, building
capabilities in health promotion and
reaching over one million people in
local communities.
In 2010, the partnership moved
into phase 2 of implementation and
proved to be a resounding success.
With a more focused goal and
aligned project designs, the remarkable collaboration between dentists, other health professionals,
community workers and school
teachers allowed us to reach more
than 41,000 people directly—including over 33,000 children—
through 29 projects in 27 countries.
In addition, thanks to the global and
local communication campaigns, it
was estimated that LLL phase 2 messages were disseminated at least to
1 million people worldwide.
This unique global public-private
partnership contributes significantly to the overall FDI vision to

2

lead the world to optimal oral
health. It also contributes to
Unilever’s Sustainable Living Plan
which aims to help one billion people improve their health and wellbeing. For the past decade, the partnership has been doing exactly that
and has been successfully delivering the message to “brush twice
daily with fluoride toothpaste”—a
message that will continue through
the implementation of phase 3 later
this year.
We are proud to present the partnership, in particular the LLL phase 2
programme, to the delegates at the
2014 Annual World Dental Congress.
To this end, FDI and Unilever are
organizing a symposium dedicated
to showcase the achievements resulting from the worldwide implementation of the 29 projects. Therefore, it is with pleasure that we invite
you to attend the LLL symposium
taking place on Friday, 12 September
at 9:30 at “H Khorana Hall”.
Please make sure to visit the FDI
pavilion at the Congress for news
and details on the results of phase 2
of the LLL partnership and stay
tuned to learn more about the upcoming oral health promotion activities that are planned for phase 3.

Dr Monica Carlile is Global Expertise & Authority Manager at Unilever
Oral Care. Dr Virginie Horn is Associate Director, Education and Development at the FDI World Dental Federation. Both are working together to
manage the Live.Learn.Laugh. Partnership on behalf of the global partners.

“Reach a point where dental restorative
materials are rare for everybody”
I An interview with Christopher H. Fox, Executive Director of the International Association for Dental Research

A

t the Public Health Section/
Chief Dental Officers’ Forum,
which was held yesterday here
at the FDI Annual World Dental Congress in Greater Nioda, experts discussed how India could prepare for
the phase-down of amalgam following the adoption of the Minamata
Convention in Japan last year which
made way for a ban on mercury-containing products on a worldwide
scale. Dental Tribune on behalf of
Worldental Daily had the opportunity to speak with the Executive Director of the International Association for Dental Research (IADR),
Christopher H. Fox, who attended
four of the intergovernmental negotiating committee sessions on behalf of the dental profession, about
the impact the convention will have
on dentistry and the future of dental
amalgam as a restorative dental material.

DTI: The recently adopted Minamata
Convention on Mercury includes provisions on phasing down dental amalgam on a global scale. What impact do
you think this will have on the dental
community and particularly restorative dentistry in the long run?
Christopher Fox: I think it must be
first pointed out that the Minamata
Convention is a very broad treaty designed to reduce all use of and international trade in mercury, as well as the
demand for mercury in products and
processes. In addition, it is intended to
address the need for the reduction of atmospheric emissions of mercury, as
well as mercury releases on land and in
water.
Dental amalgam is included in the
treaty as a mercury-added product contributing to the global demand for mercury. In this regard, it is important to note
that the treaty calls for phasing down the

use of dental amalgam, as opposed to
phasing out or banning the use of it. This
will give the industry and profession
time to make a transition and preserve
dental restorative choices for our profession and patients.
One of the provisions for phasing
down dental amalgam is for countries to
set national objectives aimed at dental
caries prevention and health promotion, thereby minimising the need for
any dental restoration. A greater emphasis on prevention and health promotion is indeed welcome and will provide
the greatest benefit to populations.
Another provision promotes research and development of alternative
dental restorative materials. So, in the
long run, dentistry and restorative dentistry, in particular, will have improved
dental restorative materials from which
to choose for their patients.

AD

Another area of discussion was the
need for best environmental practices in
dental facilities to reduce releases of
mercury and mercury compounds to
water and land. Dentistry must be a
good steward of the environment and
implement best environmental practices for dental amalgam, as well as for
all other dental materials, medical
waste and consumables.

You were involved in some of the intergovernmental negotiating committee
sessions in the run-up to the Convention. What were the most discussed issues in formulating the treaty, and did
the outcome meet the expectations of
those involved in dentistry?
The most discussed dental amalgam
issue was a ban versus a phase-down.
Led by the Responsible Officer for the
WHO Global Oral Health Programme, Dr
Poul Erik Petersen, a coalition of concerned dental organisations was able to
show country negotiators that a ban
would be detrimental to population oral
health. Dental amalgam is a safe and effective dental restoration and remains
the best restorative choice in many clinical situations or health system situations. As with any complex negotiation,
the outcome has met many people’s expectations, but there are those who
would have preferred a phase-out of
dental amalgam and those who would
have preferred no limitations set on dental amalgam.

You mention that in the dental community amalgam is still considered to be
effective and safe. So why phase down
its use at all?
Dental amalgam is a safe and effective restoration. The US National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research
funded two large-scale randomised clinical trials on the safety of dental amalgam
in children and failed to find any adverse
health effects. The reason for the agreedupon phase-down is solely the environmental and health effects of mercury in
the environment, not the direct health effects of the use of dental amalgam.
Mercury poisoning from amalgam is
mostly found in countries where recycling of the material is insufficient. Is
this not a more pressing issue that
should be addressed globally?
The proper handling of dental amalgam and its waste must be adhered to by
the dental profession and the health facilities in which they work. In addition to
the provision in the Minamata Convention calling for best environmental practices, there is a provision calling for dental amalgam to be used only in its encapsulated state. Only some countries require the use of dental amalgam
separators and many more dental professional organisations are calling for
their universal use.
Even if we were successful with our
oral health promotion programmes
however and could stop using dental
amalgam tomorrow by the introduction
of next-generation dental restorative
materials, dental facilities would need
dental amalgam separators in place for
at least a generation as currently placed
dental amalgams come to the end of
their life cycle and need to be replaced.

I Christopher H. Fox
According to the Convention, a number
of products containing mercury will be
banned from 2020. Do you believe that
amalgam will still play a major role in
restorative dentistry by that time?
Seven years is a short time frame
when we are relying on a research and
development pipeline to deliver improved dental restorative materials.
Without being too pessimistic, a typical
research and development time frame
from discovery to clinical use in the pharmaceutical arena is 17 years. So, I believe dental amalgam will still be with us
in 2020, but I am optimistic it will play a
much-reduced role in restorative dentistry.
Alternatives to mercury-containing
dental filling material were discussed
last year at an IADR–FDI workshop on
dental materials. Is there any viable alternative, and what needs to be done to
implement and sustain its use in the future?
The symposium at the recent FDI Annual World Dental Congress in Istanbul
was actually a much-condensed summary of a two-day workshop held in
December 2012 at King’s College London. In brief, yes, we can have much-improved, innovative dental restorative
materials, but it is going to take a significant commitment from government
funders, academia and industry. Keep in
mind that even if a new material could be
developed within a one- or two-year
time frame, clinical safety and effectiveness trials and regulatory approvals will
take significantly more time. Practising
dentists have an important role here
too, as they can participate in research
networks evaluating new materials and
identifying research questions, not to
mention advocating for research funding with policymakers in their country.
For a more complete answer to your
question, I would refer your readers to
the proceedings, which have just been
published in the November issue of the
Advances in Dental Research, an e-supplement to the Journal of Dental Research.
With the advent of preventative dentistry, stem cell research and the sophistication of tooth replacements,
will restorative materials become obsolete someday?
Dental restorative materials are already obsolete or nearly obsolete for
the socially advantaged post-fluoride
generation. Our greatest challenge is
addressing the oral health needs of socially disadvantaged and vulnerable
populations. The IADR has a research
agenda to reduce these oral health
inequalities across populations and
hopefully we will reach a point at which
dental restorative materials are rare for
everybody.
Thank you very much for the interview.

A new focus on oral health data and indicators
FDI opens online hub for global oral data. By Prof Li-Jian Jin, Chair, FDI Oral Health Atlas Task Team.

F

DI has just opened its ‘data hub
for global oral health’, an evolving online database of oral health
statistics and indicators. It has started
out with a limited amount of information but it is anticipated that the content will expand and deepen in the
coming months. The ‘hub’ has been

developed under the guidance of the
FDI Oral Health Atlas Task Team, and
aims ultimately to provide a one-stop
shop for all information pertaining
directly or indirectly to global oral
health.
Evidence-based decision-making is

a key issue in the international healthcare community: it promotes good science, encourages transparency and
professional accountability, and helps
focus efforts and monitor progress.
Data bring efficiency and effectiveness
to the strategic decision-making
process.

In the field of healthcare, data are
especially important, where reliable information is crucial for the effective allocation of scarce resources. This is
why it is vital to remedy the dearth of
data in the field of oral health/disease
and oral care. FDI’s Oral Health Atlas
has proved to be a landmark achieve-

AD

ment since it was published in 2009, filling a void; nevertheless, with data dating back, in some cases, to the 1990s,
and only a limited number of indicators
available, its information is now in need
of an update.
From the perspective of health policy, the lack of oral health data has hampered the World Health Organization’s
(WHO) efforts to develop, for oral
health, a comprehensive global monitoring framework including a set of indicators to monitor trends and to assess progress in the implementation of
healthcare strategies and plans.
FDI and its partners worked hard to
ensure that the 2011 UN Political Declaration on the Prevention and Control of
Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs),
from which WHO’s action plans derive,
recognizes that oral diseases pose a
major health burden for many countries, share common risk factors with
the main NCDs, and can greatly benefit
from common responses to NCDs. The
challenge is to quantify that burden so
that, as of now, year on year progress
can be made and measured.
Thus, it is anticipated that the ‘data
hub for global oral health’ created by
FDI, the leading international organization in the field of oral healthcare, and
available to its member national dental
associations and a wider public, will
also help to provide a sound basis for a
future global oral health monitoring
framework.
As for content, the ‘data hub’ will
cast the net much wider for information. For example, the crucial role of social determinants in oral health will
make socio-economic data a key component. So will the data on incidence of
NCDs such as diabetes where a close
relationship with oral disease has been
clearly established.
The originality of the hub is not in the
content, which, for the moment at least,
derives from a number of publiclyavailable sources; rather, it is in the
‘packaging’, centralizing the wide array
of data and indicators from around
the world. Contrary to traditional databases, the evolving FDI database aims
at pointing out that more effort should
be made towards filling the gaps in oral
health data worldwide.
As such, the ‘hub’ will be a powerful
advocacy resource for the huge efforts
that urgently need to be undertaken, a
unique source of data collection and an
essential tool for all those who are interested in improving the state of oral
health in the world.

Not meeting standards of care
Medical and dental negligence in India discussed. By Dr George Paul

S

LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE
A doctor, dentist or hospital
charged with negligence can be liable under three broad areas. The
liability of a doctor arises not when
the patient has suffered any injury,
but when the injury has resulted
owing to the conduct of the doctor,
which has fallen below that of reasonable care. In other words, the
doctor is not liable for every injury
suffered by a patient. He or she is liable for only those that are a consequence of a breach of his or her
duty.4 The liability may be civil
(torts), criminal or statutory.

everal definitions for medical negligence exist. Baron
Anderson defined “negligence” in the course of the famous
case of Blyth v. Birmingham Waterworks Company (1856) as “The
omission to do something which a
reasonable man, guided upon
those considerations which ordinarily regulate the conduct of human affairs, would do, or doing
something which a prudent and
reasonable man would not do. The
defendants might have been liable for negligence, if, unintentionally, they omitted to do that
which a reasonable person would
have done, or did that which a person taking reasonable precautions would not have done.”1
Dr George Paul maintains a private
practice limited to oral and maxillofacial surgery in Tamilnadu in India.
On Saturday afternoon, he will be
presenting a workshop on the
medico-legal aspects of dentistry
as part of the FDI 2014 scientific
programme. A complete list of references is available from the publisher.the line.

The operative word in the definition is “reasonable”. This sets the
benchmark in determining “standard of care”, the breach of which is
the quintessence of negligence. We
therefore understand that, for an
act to be considered negligent, a
doctor, who owed a certain standard of care, must have not main-

tained that standard or there must
have been an injury resulting from
the lack of care. (The injury should
be compensable.) There should
also be a connection (proximity)
between the negligent act and the
resultant injury.
In fact, for an act to be considered a medical negligence, it must

AD

FDI 2015BANGKOK
Annual World Dental Congress
22 - 25 September 2015 - Bangkok Thailand

fulfil all four criteria mentioned
above. In understanding negligence, one must also grapple with
the exceptions to negligence. A review of decided cases shows that
some of the situations mentioned
below do not fall under medical
negligence. For example, absence
of informed consent in an emergency or patient dissatisfaction
with progress of treatment or even
charging excessively are not considered negligence.2
A professional standard of care
is generally that standard of care or
skill that is determined by a body of
professionals on behalf of the medical profession. It does not have to
be of the highest level though. It is
here that the term “reasonable
care” is exercised. The test of the
standard has traditionally been the
Bolam test,3 which is used to determine scientific validity and accommodates two or more deferring
opinions in the treatment of a particular condition.
In this context, one must also
deal with two important aspects of
treatment or care, customary practice and accepted practice. Cus-

In India, there is yet another liability as a result of medical services
being brought within the ambit of
the Consumer Protection Act
(1986). This was the result of a prolonged legal battle in IMA v. VP
Shantha (1995),5 which finally decided that medical service was
clearly within the definition of service envisaged under the Consumer
Protection Act, which is a quasi-judicial legal premise to render swift
justice in the event of a deficiency
of service. It generally comes under
civil or tort liability.
If charged with civil liability, the
defendant is made to compensate
the complainant with liquidated
damages, which may be simple or
exemplary as decided by the judge
(or juries in many parts of the
world).
Some instances of negligence
may invite punitive actions under
criminal law and may include imprisonment, fines or both. However, in India, there are decided
cases, as in Jacob Mathew v. State
of Punjab [2005],6 in which strict
guidelines have been laid down for
criminal action against doctors.
They cannot be arrested for death
or disability caused during treatment unless a medical board deter-

“Accepted practice is generally an
evidence-based practice...”
tomary practice may be a common
practice. However, if it is not validated by science, it is not recognised in law. Accepted practice is
generally an evidence-based practice and is accepted in law. For example, many people do not use
rubber dams during root canal
treatment. It may be a customary
practice, but it is wrong. Using rubber dams is, however, an accepted
practice even if it is not applied universally. In the event of accidental
ingestion of an instrument, only the
accepted practice will prevail.

Contributory negligence is a
mitigating clause in liability for
negligence. If the patient has contributed to an undesirable outcome, the defendant doctor can
claim exemption from negligence,
for example, if a patient has not
taken a prescription as instructed.

mines that the negligent act was indeed criminal in nature. The relevant sections in the Indian Penal
Code are Sections 337, 338 and
304A (a rash and negligent act
causing simple injury, grievous injury or death, respectively).7
Like several other countries, India has statutory bodies in the form
of its medical council and dental
council, which can institute enquiries into negligent acts by medical or dental persons who are registered under these bodies. They
can prescribe punitive action, ranging from removing the doctor’s
name from the register to imposing
retraining before being permitted
to return to practice. It is important
for doctors and dentists to be
aware of medical negligence so
that they can take adequate care to
prevent unnecessary litigation.

Minimal intervention dentistry
A way forward for managing dental caries in the twenty-first century. By Dr Jo Frencken, Netherlands.

W

inning a competition is usually something to celebrate.
The Global Burden of Disease 2010 study ranked untreated
caries in permanent teeth first on the
prevalence list of 291 diseases and
injuries, with severe periodontitis
ranked sixth and untreated caries in
primary teeth tenth.1 Not exactly a
cause for celebration, I would say,
but more a profound wake-up call for
the dental profession worldwide to
analyse the structures through which
it currently manages dental diseases
to determine realistic and feasible
means of improving the situation.
Before the Global Burden of Disease 2010 study was even published,
we already knew that too many cavities all over the world went untreated. We also knew that the prevalence of this condition differed significantly on a global scale, with
many countries, such as those in
Scandinavia or even my home country, the Netherlands, just to name a
few, having done extremely well in

of time.
this regard.2 In addition to a restorative–rehabilitative care system, they

have a well-functioning oral health
infrastructure, including state and

private health insurance systems,
and, most importantly, a good communication system with the public,
through which the adverse effects of
sugar consumption and the beneficial effects of regular brushing with a
fluoride toothpaste are discussed
and monitored through a well-established recall system, and public communication measures, such as television promotions.
After all, dental caries is a biofilminduced behavioural disease that,
supported by preventative measures, can be controlled through personal behaviour, as recently reported.3 Children attending educational and preventive programmes at
university clinics 2.8 times on average per year since their birth showed
a 9 % prevalence of dental caries and
a mean DMFT (decayed, missing or
filled teeth) score of 0.25 at age 4,
compared with similarly aged children whose mothers had elected
against attending such a programme. Their caries prevalence was
81 % with a mean DMFT score of 4.1.
Dental caries is a dynamic disease and does not always progress
from a lesion in the enamel to the
dentine and further into a dentine
cavity. A carious lesion can be halted
by preventive treatments and by positive changes in a person’s oral
health behaviour. This indicates
that, in contradiction to what is being
taught, it is not always necessary to
drill into a carious lesion that has just
reached the dentine without causing
a clear cavity. If performed too early,
drilling would be an unethical treatment that contributes to the repeat
restoration cycle, which is known to
lead to the early death of a tooth.4

AD

Nowadays, life expectancy has
reached up to 100 years in a few
countries and this number may increase further in the future. People
are expected to live much longer
than they were 50 years ago. This
means that teeth need to function for
a much longer period. It was inevitable that the dental profession
would begin changing its restorative-driven approach for managing
dental caries into a preventative
communicative and communitydriven approach, backed by education, that considers restorative intervention as a last resort instead of a
primary measure, as advocated by
organisations such as the FDI World
Dental Federation5 and World Health
Organization.6
It is not news that the development of carious lesions can be prevented. This has been known for
30–40 years, although there was not
as much information available then
as there is now. The philosophy of
minimal intervention dentistry (MID)
is an attempt to serve the public in
the current century, and to keep their
teeth healthy and functioning into
old age. Its goal is to preserve as
much sound and remineralisable
tooth tissue as possible, starting
right from infancy. While MID makes
use of evidence-based preventive
and restorative measures, it is also
open to alternative treatments. It
consists of five principles: proper diagnosis and caries risk assessment

10

www.fdiworldental.org

Dr Jo Frencken is head of the
Department of Global Oral Health
at Radboud University in Nijmegen
in the Netherlands. On Saturday
morning, he will be presenting a
paper on the history of minimal
intervention dentistry as part of
the FDI 2014 scientific programme.

at regular intervals, optimal evidence-based measures for the prevention and arresting of carious lesions, an individualised recall system for reinforcing behavioural actions and for providing preventive
care, minimally invasive operative
interventions based on biofilm eradication and the use of adhesive dental materials, as well as the repair
rather than replacement of faulty
restorations.7
Since dental caries forms part of
the common risk factors for general
health, dental professionals will
have to co-operate more closely with
medical professionals. At health
care centres with mother-and-child
care facilities, nurses need to be
trained to inspect the mouths of infants, give advice to the caregivers
and, if necessary, refer them for
treatment. Why should these nurses
counsel mothers about all other paediatric diseases, but not about dental caries as the most common child
disease? The same applies to paediatricians.
Many Western countries can no
longer balance their health care and
oral health care budgets, and as a result they have exploded. If we feel
collectively responsible for the first-,
sixth- and tenth-ranked items on the
list of the most prevalent diseases
and injuries, then urgent action is
necessary. The MID approach is a
good step forward. It is applicable
not only to cariology and restorative
care, but also to periodontology and
rehabilitative care. Dental professionals should not rely on high-tech
devices and sophisticated equipment to the extent that they do when
it comes to the treatment of carious
lesions. If dental curricula worldwide
embraced this philosophy and dental professionals worked more
closely with medical professionals
and the public, then we might create
a future scenario in which a different
disease will be first on the list in the
next systematic analysis on global
diseases and injuries.

Planmeca makes CAD/CAM easier than ever
State-of-the-art solutions for dentists

P

lanmeca’s
open-interfacebased CAD/CAM solutions introduce, above all, quality,
cost-efficiency and precision to the
daily workflow at dental clinics or
laboratories. Petri Kajander, Product
Manager for Planmeca’s CAD/CAM
solutions, explains the revolutionary features of these new products.

PLANMECA PLANSCAN– SUPER FAST
INTRAORAL SCANNER
The new Planmeca PlanScan is a
digital and powder-free intraoral
scanner that scans the patient’s dentition quickly and accurately. The
scanner produces real-time digital
impressions from one-tooth to fullarch scans. Thanks to the open STL
data, the scanned files can be sent to
any dental laboratory for design work.
This is the world’s first dental unit integrated intraoral scanner that can
also be connected to a laptop.
“The scanner has only one cable, so
it is extremely easy to move from one
place to another, for example between
different treatment rooms or clinics”,
says Product Manager Petri Kajander.“
In addition, the scanner is delivered
with a laptop, so the device can be flexibly shared between different users. In
other words, Planmeca PlanScan offers value for your investment: it is not
a device for just one dentist but can be
used by the entire clinic.”
The scanner utilises blue laser
technique. It projects a pattern on the
surface of the teeth and then analyses
it from different directions while cal-

culating distances. In this way, the device is able to calculate a model that is
extremely accurate. “You can view the
result as a real-time video image. The
video recording and the dental surface identification algorithm make
the device extremely flexible to use.
Thanks to these features, you can
pause the scanning at any time and
continue later on at any point from
where data is already available.”
The scanner includes a range of exchangeable tips in various sizes, the
smallest of these facilitating access to
the posterior parts, particularly with
small children and trauma patients.
The tips can be autoclaved for efficient infection control. In addition,
the scanner is extremely durable
since it has no other moving parts inside except for a fan that removes
warm air. “Thus, the device stays calibrated and is not subject to mechanical wear”, explains Kajander.
PLANMECA PLANCAD EASY –
EFFICIENT DESIGN TOOL FOR PROSTHETICS
Planmeca also offers dentists a
new kind of open software solution
for 3-D design. Planmeca PlanCAD
Easy is seamlessly integrated in Planmeca Romexis software and it is a
user-friendly design tool for the design of inlays, onlays, veneers,
crowns and bridges.
“The software runs on the socalled floating licence basis. This
means that it is not tied to just one
computer or workstation, but the
work is saved on the Planmeca
Romexis server. In this way, the scanning station can be used only for scanning, while another workstation is
used for the actual design work. This
is a truly unique feature, which allows
work to be continued straight away on
another computer, while the scanner
is freed for more productive operation”, says Kajander.
Every dentist designing his or her
own prosthetic works will also face
cases that require assistance from a
dental laboratory. For this reason,
Planmeca’s system utilises
an open STL file format
that allows the work to
be sent immediately
to a partner via
the Planmeca
Romexis
Cloud
service.

Since
Planmeca
PlanCAD Easy is integrated in Planmeca
Romexis software, soft
tissue scans can also
be conveniently paired
with the patient’s CBCT
image. This combined
data provides valuable
information for implant planning, for ex-

ample, because in addition to the soft
tissues, it visualises the crown that is
designed for the occlusion. This facilitates the planning of the implant
screw’s location.
The Planmeca PlanCAD Easy workflow from preparation to the finished
result includes just five easy stages:
work description, scanning, marking
of the margin line, automatic design,
and sending the work to the mill.
“Once the work has been sent to the
mill, it is transferred there in its entirety and the mill’s computer finishes
the work. In this way, the software and
scanner are immediately freed for a
new assignment.”
The software is very user-friendly.
All design phases are saved automatically, and if further impressions are
needed, previous phases can be returned to flexibly. The automatic design software automatically takes
into account the adjacent teeth’s
cusps and marginal ridge in addition
to the contact strengths defined by
the user. This creates a design that always fits its surroundings.
PLANMECA PLANMILL 40–FAST AND
PRECISE MILLING UNIT FOR DENTAL
CLINICS
Planmeca PlanMill 40 is an extremely precise four-axis milling unit
operating under the control of its own
computer. The device is suitable for all
the indications of a single tooth, in
other words for the milling of crowns,
inlays, onlays and veneers. The mill
can manage bridges of up to five units
to the posterior and three units to the
anterior area.
Since the mill handles the milled
pieces completely independently, as
many as several dozen pieces can be
sent to the mill at a time. In addition,
the device tells which block size,
colour and material should be used,
so any member of the staff can place
the block in the mill. “This saves
everyone’s working time. The dentist
does not need add the block himself,
but anyone can do it”, says Kajander.
The mill has a six-tool exchange
mechanism, and it changes tools independently according to different
job requirements. In addition, the device mills different materials according to their properties. For example, it

knows how to gently handle delicate
ceramics in work phases that require
precision. “If you force the material, it
may break prematurely. Even the
smallest hairline crack in the material
can lead to a cemented piece breaking when pressure is applied on it.”
Also, the maintenance of the device is care-free. The mill’s own computer calculates the service life of the
tools, monitors wear and reports on
them via the user interface. It also calculates the time that milling will take
and lets the user know when the tools
or water should be replaced. “Similar
to a car, a mill requires maintenance at
certain intervals and notifies the user
of this.”
AN IDEAL SOLUTION ALSO FOR
LABORATORIES
For dental laboratories, Planmeca offers a comprehensive solution utilising the open STL file format. Planmeca PlanScan Lab scanner is an accurate desktop scanner
utilising blue light for scanning gypsum models and impressions. The
device scans gypsum models fast
and effortlessly with an accuracy of
15 micrometres.
Designing takes place in the open
Planmeca PlanCAD Premium laboratory software, which can be used for
the design of all prosthetic pieces,
ranging from one-tooth units to fullarch structures. The software can
also be used to design individual
abutments, implant bridges and

bars for cemented and screwed solutions.
Designing begins with defining
the margin line, after which the path
of insertion is selected and the structure designed. Several automatic
functions assist in the design work,
and as the design progresses, the
software shows the contact areas,
material thickness and distance to
the antagonist or adjacent tooth.
A diagnostic wax-up made in the laboratory or anatomic models saved in
the software can be utilised in the
design work.
The software has an Order Manager page that brings efficiency to the
workflow by reporting the stage of
each work. In this way, several work
orders can be entered in the software
in one go. The last phaseis always
saved in memory so working can be
continued freely at the most suitable
time. In addition, precise values can
be set to each work for the cement
gap and milling unit’s blade.
An open STL file is created as a result of the design work, and it can
be manufactured with all milling
units supporting the open file format, including the Planmeca PlanMill 50. This milling unit can be used
for the milling of all most common
materials, excluding metals. In addition, the open file can be sent to a
milling centre for manufacturing,
such as Plandent’s own PlanEasyMill
milling centre.

Acteon puts Art into infection control

I Infection control
in dental practice is
more important than ever. The
RISKONTROL Art air and water syrAD

inge tips from Pierre Roland, a company of the Acteon Group, are intended not only to protect practitioners and their patients from cross-contamination, but also to eliminate the
risk of microbial migration into the
dental unit’s air and water lines.
According to the French manufacturer, the new tips can be used on all

types of syringes. They are practical,
as well as quick to fit and remove owing to their improved flexibility. Dentists can save a considerable amount
of time using these tips, since they no
longer have to clean, decontaminate
and sterilise the original tip of their air
and water syringe, the company said.

of its DISC
product line
I With discs now also available in
zirconium dioxide, German company VITA Zahnfabrik aims to
meet current user requirements
for the fabrication of high-quality
restorations for patient-specific
aesthetics. Launched already in
March 2013, VITA In-Ceram YZ
DISC Color and VITA YZ DISC HT are
extensions to VITA’s DISC product
line for the partially yttrium-stabilised zirconium dioxide material
VITA In-Ceram YZ and are CAD/

are available in the usual sizes (a
diameter of 98 mm and a height of
14 mm or 18 mm).

tions. Based on industrial standards, this controlled colouring
process is claimed to provide
shades of uniform quality, thereby
avoiding time-consuming and error-prone manual colouring.
A high-translucency material
variation was also added to the
proven VITA In-Ceram YZ DISC for
the efficient fabrication of monolithic, fully anatomical zirconium
dioxide restorations. Owing to
the high translucency of the new
VITA YZ DISC HT, veneering is not
required, providing a relatively inexpensive yet attractive alternative to non-veneered or partially
veneered metal restorations. According to VITA, the HT DISC is
also suitable for use as a substructure material in restorations
intended to exhibit natural
translucency.

Tight spaces targeted by narrow diameter implant from Nobel Biocare
I In theory, narrow diameter
implants—usually defined as
anything under 3.5 mm—make it
possible to treat almost all cases
involving narrow interdental
spaces, especially in situations
where there is only minimum
amount of hard tissue. However,
they have to be strong enough to
survive demanding biomechanical loading and torsion, despite
their small dimensions.
With its NobelActive implant, the
Swiss manufacturer Nobel Biocare
has a 3.0 mm implant in its portfolio, that was specifically designed
for the replacement of single-unit
maxillary lateral incisors as well as
mandibular lateral and central incisors. These very visible singletooth sites require highly aesthetic
restorative solutions that, according to the company, can be reliably
delivered with the NobelActive 3.0
implant for the long-term. Since
there is not much bone to work with
in areas like the ones recommended for this implant, maximum
bone preservation has been a key
priority in engineering aspects of
the new design, the company said.
Therefore, the apex of NobelActive
3.0 was equipped with integral
drilling blades, that allow for a
smaller initial osteotomy.

In addition to the drilling blades
on the tip of the implant, reverse
cutting flutes allow clinicians, who
are experienced with NobelActive
implants, to adjust the implant position to achieve optimal restorative orientation. This Nobel Biocare
said is particularly useful in the extraction sites that are common in
single-tooth anterior restorations.

creasing or stable bone levels,
Nobel Biocare reported. Soft tissue
variables have been stable throughout the study and the survival rate
very high.
Dr Scott MacLean from Halifax in
Canada finds NobelActive 3.0 to be

tised as a smart and reliable intraoral imaging plate system for dental radiography
that was developed to make the daily imaging workflow in dental practices easier
and more efficient.
According to the Finish manufacturer, it
can be used for all intraoral applications
and patient sizes and provides excellent
clinical results for improved diagnostics.

Optime system from multiple operatory
rooms and to share images, among other
things. System guides correct exposure settings and prevent imaging plates to be inserted improperly.
Image plates for DIGORA Optime are
available in all intraoral sizes (0, 1, 2, 3 for
periapical or bitewing and 4C for comfortable occlusal projection imaging). They
have a 100 per cent active area and are comfortable for the patient,
the company said. An
optional imaging plate
iden tification system
(IDOT) adds to quality
control.
The DIGORA Optime
system also complies
with latest hygiene standards through Opticover protective covers
that are supposed to prevent the cross-contamination of the plates. In
addition, the avoid mechanical damage and information loss which is
caused by ambient light.
Biocompatible and 100
per cent waterproof,
they are Latex- and PVCfree.

With DIGORA Optime, clear and sharp
high contrast images that provide accuracy to the smallest clinical details can be
obtained under a familiar film-like workflow within just seconds, the company said.
A smart auto-optimization function adjusts the grey levels of the image and compensates accidental over- or underexposures. A standard network (LAN) connection allows clinicians to access the DIGORA

NobelActive 3.0 is widely available through the company’s sales

“The platform shift with conical
connection maintains a solid,
tight connection that is easy to restore. The thread dimensions and
design make it the perfect implant
for placement in upper lateral and
lower incisors, and it feels very familiar to place and restore,” he
added.
For Dr Philippe Russe from
Reims in France, NobelActive 3.0
has also become the implant of
choice for excellent aesthetics in
challenging single-tooth anterior
situations. “The extra bony volume around the implant supports
longer papillaes, improving the
aesthetic outcome of usually difficult cases. With its well-known
excellent initial stability, platform
shifting and conical connection,
the new NobelActive 3.0 has
everything you need in a small diameter implant specially designed
for narrow anterior spaces”, he
said.

Owing to its expanding tapered
implant body, with double-helix
thread design, NobelActive 3.0
compresses bone gradually, which
is minimising trauma and providing
high initial stability even in compromised bone situations. Built-in
platform shifting is also part of the
design to ensure maximum soft tissue volume for natural-looking aesthetics. An internal conical connection with hexagonal interlocking is
supposed to provide a tight seal
and secure positioning of the abutment, a must-have characteristic
for any first-class, bone-anchored,
single-tooth restoration.

the perfect complement to the larger
diameter NobelActive implants that
he has been using for years. “It is
a great implant to use in tight, aesthetically demanding areas of the
arch. Like the others in the Nobel
Active family, it provides excellent results due to its principles of design.”

Dental photography
made simple by SHOFU
I For almost a century, SHOFU Dental (Booth
C78–81) has been an international household
name for dental clinical and lab products.
However, the company has also been manufacturing and selling equipment for digital
dentistry and photography, but only in its
home market in Japan. With the introduction of
the new EyeSpecial C-II, SHOFU brought a new
digital camera to FDI 2014 in Greater Noida, exclusively developed for use in dentistry.
Made completely in-house in cooperation
with experts in photography and cosmetic
dentistry, the camera was conceptualized to
be useful for a wide range of dental applica-

ror or cheek retractor. Another unique feature
of the camera is that it enables photos to be
transferred immediately from camera to PC,
Smart Phone, iPad, etc.
“This camera is so simple and predictable
that it provides a fool-proof solution for dentists, enabling even those without any indepth knowledge of dental photography to
take accurate photos every time. The entire
dental team, even in multi-specialty practices,
will benefit from it,” Loke told Worldental Daily
in Greater Noida.
Prior to its premiere here at FDI 2014, the
camera has been showcased at large
dental meetings in the US, China and
Singapore. But now it is here, in India,
that the EyeSpecial C-II was presented
to a large community of South Asian
dental professionals for the first time.
“We believe that FDI 2014 is the
most suitable event in India to launch
the EyeSpecial C-II as it will give this
unique product regional exposure in
South Asia,” explained Loke.
He said that further development
into shade taking and restorative simulating functions is anticipated for the
camera in the future.

tions including intraoral photography, shade
selection and detailed image taking of anterior
teeth. It comes with eight pre-set dental
modes, which according to SHOFU Dental’s
Asia-Pacific Managing Director Patrick Loke,
are combined with a built-in proprietary flashmatic system and a number of image processing functions like colour-correction and autocropping to simplify the process of dental photography significantly. He added that the camera is extremely light-weight and features a
large LCD touchscreen display, making it possible for the user to operate it with one hand,
leaving the other hand free for holding the mir-

In addition to the camera, SHOFU also has
a number of products for restorative dentistry
on display, including the universal direct aesthetic restorative Beautifil Injectable and
BeautiSealant, a product for sealing deep
grooves and fissures without the need for a
conventional phosphoric acid etchant.
