Triodent Introduces V3 SuperCurve Kit

Posted on Monday, March 30, 2015

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah, March 23, 2015–Triodent and Ultradent Products, Inc. are pleased to announce the availability of the V3 SuperCurve kit, combining all of the benefits of Triodent’s best in class V3 Ring and System with the SuperCurve non-stick matrix—the ultimate anatomical, contoured, sectional matrix for seamless, predictable Class II restorations. The kit contains one V3 Universal Ring, one V3 Narrow Ring, 125 SuperCurve Matrices in sizes 3.5mm, 4.5mm, 5.5mm, 6.5mm, 7.5mm (20 each), 75 Wave-Wedges (25 Small, 25 Medium, and 25 Large), one pair of Forceps, and two pairs of Pin Tweezers.

The Triodent V3 Ring and System produces tight contacts and a superb seal to the matrix, requiring minimal finishing. The V3 Ring has the widest indications for use of any sectional matrix ring, producing high-quality, predictable Class II composite restorations, every time. The nickel-titanium (NiTi) V3 Ring features exceptional strength for stability, and exerts optimal separation force on the teeth to produce consistently tight contacts. The V-shaped tines eliminate competition with the wedge in the embrasure, allowing the tines to grip both teeth equally, preventing the ring from collapsing into wide cavities.

The addition of the SuperCurve Matrix brings the ultimate anatomical sectional matrix, contoured for greater stability and coated with a non-stick surface for easy removal, to the V3 kit. With the new Triodent V3 SuperCurve kit, clinicians will immediately see the difference in anatomy, finishing time, and ease of use with each item of the kit for superior Class II restorations.

Ultradent is Triodent’s exclusive dealer in the United States. To learn more about, or purchase the V3 SuperCurve kit, call 800.552.5512 or visit ultradent.com.

Dispelling Myths about Root Canal Treatment in New Video

Posted on Friday, March 27, 2015

March 22-28 is Root Canal Awareness Week

CHICAGO, March 23, 2015 -- During Root Canal Awareness Week, March 22-28, the American Association of Endodontists is releasing a new video that addresses the safety of root canal treatment. Featuring endodontists Drs. Milton L. Davenport and Nermeen M. Moussa of Chicago, the video debunks century-old claims that root canal treatment can lead to disease.

"There is a lot of misinformation online about the safety of root canal treatment and sensational headlines tend to attract attention," explains AAE President Dr. Robert S. Roda, an endodontist in Scottsdale, Ariz. "The AAE developed this video to help concerned patients understand that there is no valid, scientific evidence linking root canal treatment to other diseases."

During root canal treatment, endodontists remove inflammation or infection in the root of the tooth, clean and disinfect the canals, and seal them. After treatment, the tooth and bone around the roots can heal, preventing bacteria in the mouth from affecting the surrounding bone. Millions of treatments are performed every year, safely and comfortably.

The video and other resources addressing the safety of root canal treatment are available to patients and dental professionals at www.aae.org/rootcanalsafety. Additional videos illustrating endodontic treatments are available on the AAE's YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/rootcanalspecialists.

In its ninth year, Root Canal Awareness Week is a nationwide effort to encourage patients who need a root canal to see an endodontist to save their natural teeth. Endodontists have at least two years of additional training beyond dental school and are highly skilled specialists in performing root canals and diagnosing and treating tooth pain. Their mix of advanced training, techniques and equipment improve patient comfort, ease anxiety and alleviate pain.

Those who have undergone root canal treatment agree. AAE research found that patients who have experienced root canal treatment are six times more likely to describe it as "painless" than patients who have not had root canal treatment, and 89 percent of patients say they were satisfied when they received treatment from an endodontist, a dentist who specializes in root canals.

For more information about the AAE and Root Canal Awareness Week, follow the AAE on Twitter at @savingyourteeth or search #rootcanal. To find an endodontist in your area, ask your general dentist for a referral, or use the Find an Endodontist feature at www.aae.org.

About the American Association of Endodontists

The American Association of Endodontists, headquartered in Chicago, Ill., represents more than 7,500 members worldwide. Endodontics is one of nine dental specialties formally recognized by the American Dental Association. The AAE, founded in 1943, is dedicated to excellence in the art and science of endodontics and to the highest standard of patient care. The Association inspires its members to pursue professional advancement and personal fulfillment through education, research, advocacy, leadership, communication and service.

Posted on Friday, March 27, 2015

Glastonbury, Conn. – MIST Inc. is the latest company to verify the content of its restorative products for labs and dentists through the IdentAlloy/IdentCeram program.

Dental labs ordering MIST materials will now receive free certificates verifying their composition and ADA classification. Labs can then keep copies for own records while submitting other copies to dentists for use in patient education, records filing and insurance claim back-up.

“MIST’s voluntary participation in the IdentAlloy/IdentCeram program further demonstrates the company’s deep commitment to customer satisfaction,” commented Chuck Yenkner, Executive Director of the Council. “Likewise, labs and dentists utilize the certificates as another way to highlight their own professionalism.”

Long after patients leave the chair, our customers will now have third-party certificates attesting to the authenticity of the materials used in their restorations.”

The IdentAlloy/IdentCeram Council is a non-profit, voluntary industry organization that helps dentists improve outcomes, reassure patients and streamline paperwork with free certificates documenting restorative material composition and ADA classification.

Global celebrations for a ‘Smile for life’ on World Oral Health Day

Posted on Tuesday, March 24, 2015

Geneva, 20 March 2015 – Today is World Oral Health Day and countries worldwide are celebrating lifelong oral health with a ‘Smile for life’.


Some 95 countries, 65 National Dental Associations, 30 Student Dental Associations as well as the World Oral Health Day Partners are working hard, holding fun, hands-on and informative events to raise awareness of the fact that oral health is a serious issue with far-reaching consequences.


With a focus on achieving the greatest impact, this year’s planned activities include: the Dentolympics (oral health games for children) in Bolivia; a flash mob organised by dental students in Italy; free oral health assessments for over one thousand students in Kenya; and a marathon for dental professionals in front of the pyramids in Egypt.


In addition, the ‘Smile for life’ message will be broadcast to the world via the giant NASDAQ screen in Times Square, New York City, with a display collage of some of the WOHD 2015 customised posters!


Globally, oral disease affects most adults and as many as 90% of schoolchildren. Oral diseases are a significant burden on overall health, with the greatest burden falling on disadvantaged and poor populations. The principal problems are: dental caries, periodontal diseases and oral cancer.

FDI President Dr Tin Chun Wong will today be speaking at WOHD event organized by the Indonesian Dental Association (Persatuan Dokter Gigi Indonesia (PDGI)) and Unilever.


She said: ‘I would like to take the opportunity to thank all National Dental Associations, dental students and other partners for working so hard to get the “Smile for life” message across by joining in the celebrations and organising their own local, regional or national awareness raising event.


‘Prevention is better than cure” is an old saying; let’s bring it up-to-date today on World Oral Health Day 2015 to help in the fight for a “Smile for life” for everyone, no matter where they live.’


This year’s WOHD celebrations have been championed by four global partners that have provided support around the world to ensure that the activities organised are a success.


In recognition of this, Dr Tin Chun Wong commented: ‘Listerine, Unilever, Henry Schein and the Wrigley Oral Healthcare Program have provided unrivalled support to make WOHD 2015 the largest celebration so far in terms of countries and associations participating, and we thank them for their continued support.’

AAP Publishes Proceedings from 2014 Workshop on Regeneration

Posted on Monday, March 23, 2015

CHICAGO, February 27, 2015–The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) has released the official proceedings from its June 2014 workshop on regenerative therapies for periodontal disease. Systematic reviews and consensus reports from the “Enhancing Periodontal Health through Regenerative Approaches” workshop are published in a supplement to the February 2015 edition of the Journal of Periodontology. Practical application reports, intended to guide dental professionals in the application of periodontal regeneration in the clinical setting, are available in the February 2015 issue Clinical Advances in Periodontics.

"The workshop was an amazing collaborative effort that provides the most current consensus of therapies and technologies in regenerative treatment,” says AAP president Joan Otomo-Corgel, DDS, MPH. “We’re thrilled to share the results of the these dynamic discussions. This pioneering information will provide tremendous benefit to the periodontal specialty, the dental community, and the patients we treat.”

Fifty-two workshop participants met in Chicago last summer to conduct a systematic review of existing literature, culminating in the development of consensus reports and practical applications to aid practitioners in the clinical environment. Topics of the workshop included the following:

 

- Periodontal Soft Tissue Root Coverage Procedures: Managing gingival recession based on current evidence with a primary outcome goal of complete root coverage

- Periodontal Soft Tissue Non-Root Coverage Procedures: Assessing the need for gingival augmentation procedures (non-root coverage) around natural teeth

- Intrabony Defects: Periodontal regenerative strategies for the management of intrabony periodontal defects

- Furcation Defects: How periodontal furcation defects should be managed via periodontal regenerative therapy and what parameters should be used for treatment selection

- Emerging Regenerative Approaches for Periodontal Reconstruction: Can emerging technologies for periodontal regeneration become clinical reality?

 

The practical application reports provide the unique component of the workshop. Each practical application paper describes a specific clinical situation, different approaches that may be considered in its management, and how to make treatment decisions based on the provided evidence. Clinical Advances in Periodontics also offers illustrative images and videos that further detail the clinical situation, how it was managed, and its expected treatment outcomes.

The workshop was spearheaded by an AAP-designated organizing committee, co-chaired by William Giannobile, DDS, MS, DMSc, and Pamela McClain, DDS. The American Academy of Periodontology Foundation, Geistlich Pharma North America, Colgate-Palmolive, and the Osteology Foundation partnered with the AAP to provide support of the workshop’s programming.

The AAP regularly organizes consensus workshops on issues surrounding the science and practice of periodontics. Past sessions include the 2010 Workshop on Inflammation and a 2012 joint session with the European Federation of Periodontology on periodontal disease and systemic diseases.

About the American Academy of Periodontology

The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) represents over 8,000 periodontists—specialists in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of inflammatory diseases affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontics is one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association.

Colgate Gives the Gift of Knowledge, a Second Time Around

Posted on Thursday, March 19, 2015

New York City, NY, March 10, 2015– Colgate-Palmolive Co. announces the publication of the textbook Periodontal Disease and Overall Health: A Clinician’s Guide, Second Edition. The 370-page volume is an update of the original 2010 edition and includes contributions regarding the periodontal disease and oral systemic relationship from 32 renowned clinicians and scientists representing both dental and medical sciences.


Periodontal Disease and Overall Health: A Clinician’s Guide, Second Edition provides the latest information and clinical studies pertaining to the oral systemic relationship and is specifically directed at understanding how periodontal disease might affect distant sites and organs, therefore having an effect on overall health. Each chapter details the latest findings on the relationship between oral and systemic diseases and the co-management of patients for optimal oral and physical health.

According to editors of the textbook Robert J. Genco (University at Buffalo, The State University of New York) and Ray C. Williams (University of North Carolina, formerly with Stony Brook University, The State University of New York), “We were fortunate to have assembled a group of respected and scholarly clinicians and scientists who, in eighteen chapters, provide a current and thoughtful perspective on the relationship of periodontal disease to systemic conditions.”

Renowned clinicians and scientists worldwide have extensively studied the relationship of periodontal disease to overall health and disease, and several conferences and workshops have been convened to examine the evidence to date. At one of the conferences held in January 2008, the need for a textbook was discussed that would summarize and put into context the current information on periodontal disease and systemic disease together for students of dentistry and medicine.

The idea was brought to fruition when the Colgate-Palmolive Company agreed to support the textbook through an educational grant to the publisher. The book was published in Yardley, Pennsylvania by Professional Audience Communications, Inc., publishers and consultants in dental marketing and research communications.

With funding provided by the Colgate-Palmolive Company, Dr. Fotinos S. Panagakos, Global Director for Scientific Affairs at Colgate, underscores the contribution of the textbook as “a prime example of Colgate’s ongoing commitment of ensuring that dental professionals receive continuing education via the most current research data and clinical discoveries regarding progressive industry concerns and matters.”

Periodontal Disease and Overall Health: A Clinician’s Guide Second Edition will be freely accessible in PDF format at www.colgateprofessional.com, as well as on the Colgate Oral Health Network (https://www.colgateoralhealthnetwork.com). An eBook version is also in development for the release in the near future.
