Flexible open systems play an important role in digital dentistry. At the same time, ensuring the maximum compatibility of the systems used in practices and laboratories is becoming increasingly important to design reliable and efficient digital workflows. Considering these objectives, the cooperation between Dentsply Sirona and exocad offers completely new options in the digital production chain.

Validated workflow for digital impressions

Thanks to this cooperation, dental practices with Dentsply Sirona intraoral scanners will now, for the first time, be able to work with exocad laboratories in a validated workflow and transmit digital impressions conveniently and directly for a broad range of indications. Using the new software application, Connect Case Center Inbox from Dentsply Sirona, exocad labs have direct access to the complete intraoral scan and order data in the Connect Case Center Portal.

"With the connection of exocad labs to Dentsply Sirona’s intraoral scanners, the digital production options based on intraoral impression data for practices and dental labs around the world are expanded," explained Dr. Alexander Völcker, Group Vice President CAD/CAM & Orthodontics, Dentsply Sirona. "Furthermore, the high level of scanning accuracy offered by our new intraoral scanner Primescan is set to inspire digital dentistry among numerous dental practices and labs."

An application-oriented approach to developing digital dental technology

This cooperation also comprises the alignment of data interfaces between the exocad DentalCAD software and the inLab CAD/CAM components from Dentsply Sirona, such as the highly accurate scanner, inEos X5, and the laboratory production units, inLab MC X5 and inLab MC XL. Above and beyond this, the material-related design parameters of selected Dentsply Sirona CAD/CAM materials and dental databases will be integrated in the exocad software.

"The integration of material parameters and tooth lines in the DentalCAD software offers exocad users additional advantages as well as enhanced process safety in terms of indication-tailored designs and reliable workflows in the lab," explained Tillmann Steinbrecher, the CEO of exocad.

The cooperation between these two dental companies not only promotes digital dental technology and dentistry as a whole, but also the position of the individual user groups – for even safer and more efficient dentistry.

Hager Worldwide, the specialty dental product company, has announced the launch of their new website. With about 1,000 active SKUs, Hager offers products across a multitude of categories including infection control, hygiene, evacuation, implantology and ergonomics.

So when designing and planning out their new website, Hager knew it would be important to make it as easy to navigate as possible.

“We realized users were mainly coming to our site to find specific product information, and not just to browse” says Patrick Rouillard, marketing manager for Hager. “So we put emphasis on features like a robust search functionality and easily accessible resource center”.

Robust Search Functionality

Given Hager’s wide range of products, they wanted to make it easy for users to find exactly what they’re looking for as soon as they arrive on the site. To accomplish this, the main search bar sits front and center on the home page and can find products by Hager item #, product name, or even just a keyword.

According to Jim Ortmann, Hager’s national sales manager “It was important for us to not only design a strong search engine within the site, but also one that yielded clean and orderly search results. And I think we accomplished that”.

Accessible Product Content

Users of Hager’s new website will also be able to enjoy having all existing content for products together in one area. For example, any applicable images, descriptions, videos, SDSs, brochures, studies, usage instructions and testimonials will be available for viewing and/or downloading from the product page.

“We wanted to make sure users didn’t have to bounce around different parts of the site to find available pieces of product content, says Rouillard. “Now everything is at their fingertips in one area”.

About Hager Worldwide

Hager Worldwide is a specialty dental product company that uses its global reach to research, develop, and launch the brightest ideas from around the world. They strive to provide dental practices with products that help them run more efficiently and profitably.

DMG, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of restorative materials and preventive products, has introduced a precision placement delivery system for a wide range of dental materials. The new Composite Dispenser is particularly effective with DMG’s Ecosite Bulk Fill composite.

Designed for the placement of dental materials precisely and accurately into the oral cavity, the ergonomic

Composite Dispenser will simplify the workflow of dental professionals. It allows for fast and easy placement of composites as well as other dental materials such as cements and glass ionomers. Additionally, it has comfortable handle grips and maneuvers easily while allowing for an effortless load.

DMG’s Composite Dispenser offers dental professionals:

• Quick, easy and precise placement of materials

• Convenient autoclaving for infection control

• Comfort and ease when holding and maneuvering

• Effortless loading

The combination of the Composite Dispenser and Ecosite Bulk Fill can have a significant synergistic effect on a practice’s productivity. Ecosite’s state-of-the-art technology avoids the two traditional drawbacks associated with bulk fill composites: short working time and sub-optimal esthetics. Instead, it offers a maximum depth of 5mm, a single 20-second composite cure, low shrinkage stress, and excellent adaptability, packability and handling. It also delivers high polishability, extra fluoride release and truly exceptional esthetics, and it does not require a capping layer or stick to instruments.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), the leading authority on children's oral health, in recognition of National Children's Dental Health Month, announced the release of the second State of Little Teeth Report. This second iteration draws on the latest scientific research and examines the public health crisis of tooth decay among U.S. children through the lens of the current healthcare policy landscape. The report also explores a variety of solutions for pediatric dentists, parents and our nation's leaders.

In 2014, the AAPD issued the first-ever "State of Little Teeth Report," which examined the epidemic of tooth decay among our youngest children, studied the immediate and long-term health, social and economic effects and implications of the federal Affordable Care Act for pediatric oral health, and provided solutions and recommendations for halting the increase of tooth decay in children.

Key findings from the 2019 Report include:

Although the prevalence of tooth decay has decreased overall, there is significant room for improvement. In the U.S., tooth decay affects:

Nearly 1 in 5 children under the age of 5

About half of children aged 6-11

More than half of those aged 12-19

Children living in poverty are twice as likely to suffer from tooth decay, and their dental diseases are more than twice as likely to go untreated as their more affluent peers.

Treatment of severe tooth decay can cost $10,000 per child and up to $25,000 in severe cases, especially if the child needs to be hospitalized and treated under general anesthesia.

Even though more children are visiting the dentist than ever before, many children have difficulty accessing pediatric dental services. Tooth decay in young children continues to be a concern globally, and this public health crisis poses an immediate and long-term threat, not just to the teeth of young children, but to their overall health and development.

"Tooth decay is nearly 100 percent preventable," says Dr. Joseph Castellano, president of the AAPD. "Early dental visits, combined with good dental habits and dietary practices, can slow the decay process in children. In addition, a preventive approach to oral health makes dental care safer, more comfortable and even more affordable. It's our hope that this report provides the basis for a meaningful discussion about the challenges facing the oral health of our children and what we can do about it."

Establishing a Dental Home with a pediatric dentist is key to preventive oral care, and it will lead to beneficial oral health habits for life, as pediatric dentists work to improve children's dental health year round. They actively advocate for children by leading efforts to protect water fluoridation, serving young children through organizations like Head Start, promoting public health activities, and testifying to legislatures on bills affecting access to dental care.

According to this latest report, the tooth decay epidemic can be at least partially remedied by earlier and regularly scheduled dental visits for more children, achieved through advocacy by pediatric dentists, collaboration with primary care medical providers, education for parents, and removal of such barriers as transportation and language that prevent patients from visiting a dentist. Continued reform and improvement of public insurance programs will protect dental visits by children most susceptible to dental disease. As a result of these efforts, more children can enjoy a lifetime of better oral health.

About the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry 

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry is the recognized authority on children's oral health. As advocates for children's oral health, the AAPD promotes evidence-based policies and clinical recommendations; educates and informs policymakers, parents and guardians, and other health care professionals; fosters research; and provides continuing professional education for pediatric dentists and general dentists who treat children. Founded in 1947, the AAPD is a not for-profit professional membership association representing the specialty of pediatric dentistry. Its 10,500 members provide primary care and comprehensive dental specialty treatments for infants, children, adolescents and individuals with special health care needs.
