The transformative and "oddly personal" oral health company BURST® Oral Care continues to make strides in getting quality oral health products into bathrooms everywhere. Their latest venture? New product launches at Walmart alongside their 35,000+ Ambassador Dental Professional community!

BURST officially launched nationwide across 1,210+ Walmart stores and on walmart.com recently. The next step in their Walmart expansion includes several new offerings, namely a 3-treatment version of their professional-grade Prefilled Whitening Trays and an exclusive seafoam colorway of their parent and child-adored CoComelon kids' brush (doubling their presence to 2,500 stores)!

"We're overjoyed to have our beloved kids' sonic brush and whitening trays at Walmart," said BURST co-founder and CEO Hamish Khayat. "Teaming up with Walmart to further BURST's mission of making the best oral care products available to everyone at an affordable price was a no-brainer — especially with Walmart serving healthcare deserts. These exclusive offerings put top-notch oral care on the table for the entire family."

To reach price accessibility without sacrificing quality, BURST created their 3-treatment pack of Prefilled Whitening Trays exclusively for Walmart. Developed and tested with the collaborative support of hundreds of members from BURST's community of over 35,000 hygienists and dentists, these trays are safe, easy, effective, and sensitive-mouth friendly. They're also clinically proven: Prefilled Whitening Trays by BURST provide results up to 3 shades whiter from a 15-minute treatment.*

They combine 12.5% hydrogen peroxide with acidity-lowering potassium hydroxide and soothing xylitol to achieve professional-grade results. Each custom-fit feel tray arrives ready to use — no molds, impressions, or guesswork required. They form comfortably to any smile for hassle-free 15-minute treatments and noticeably brighter teeth after one use!

Created in collaboration with global sensation CoComelon — the number one kids' show on both YouTube and Netflix — the CoComelon x BURSTkids™ Sonic Toothbrush boasts a unique JJ design, pillowy soft, easy-grip silicone handle, a two-minute timer, and a pediatric-sized brush head with gentle bristles perfectly tailored to developing mouths. Like many of BURST's products, this brush is clinically-backed, offering up to 26x better plaque reduction than a manual toothbrush.** It's also intuitive, with more than 96% of parents surveyed reporting BURSTkids was easy for their child to use.***

To celebrate the new seafoam color launch, BURST is releasing their exclusive 2-minute CoComelon brushing video on their YouTube channel, so all kids can join JJ and friends in building healthy habits.

Customers can get their hands on BURST's 3-pack of whitening trays exclusively at Walmart for $29.98, while CoComelon in seafoam will be available at Walmart.com, select Walmart locations, and burstoralcare.com.

For over 20 years, Neoss has developed smart solutions that allow dental professionals to provide reliable and cost-effective treatments to their patients with predictable long-term results.

Now Neoss has created a Digital Workflow that all dental clinicians can implement. It consists of just 6 easy steps that will help them save time, money and at the same time increase predictability that deliver the best functional and esthetic outcomes for their patients.

In this new workflow, you will not only find the fast and precise impression machine NeoScan 1000, you also have the Neoss exclusive integrated esthetic healing and scan abutment, Neoss Esthetic Healing Abutment with ScanPeg™. This simple cost-effective solution will not only save you time and money, it is also patient friendly maintaining the biological seal giving you excellent esthetics.

"Building off the successful launch of NeoScan 1000, an intraoral scanner that changed the industry giving more dental professionals the possibility to afford to do digital impressions, we now have a simplified digital workflow that will help them save even more money and time," says Dr. Robert Gottlander, CEO and President of Neoss Group.

In addition, Neoss is launching a new type of PTFE membrane exclusive to Neoss that is taking PTFE membrane innovation to another level, the NeoGen® Cape PTFE membrane. It is a new addition to the successful NeoGen PTFE family which is proven to support the regrowth of lost bone. This solution for predictable vertical bone growth helps with buccal bone deficiencies in the esthetic zone and gives fewer treatment steps thanks to direct fixation to the implant.

"The NeoGen PTFE Cape Membrane takes the GBR for the reconstruction of bone defects in the esthetic area to a new level. The innovative membrane fixation method on the implant leads to a predictably undisturbed healing process and significantly reduces the complication rate. The excellent esthetic results support this impressively," says Dr. Christian Schober, Specialist in maxillofacial surgery Vienna, Austria.

All Neoss products are available in the Neoss Online Store and by contacting your local sales professional or customer service.

Candid, creator of the CandidPro orthodontic platform, is launching an enhanced set of clinical features to give their doctors more flexibility and control over their clear aligner cases. These are currently available to an early access cohort or by request, and will soon be available to all CandidPro clinicians. This launch follows the announcement of a strategic collaboration with Philips Sonicare that will empower clinicians with an integrated oral health experience. Ultimately, these enhancements reflect CandidPro's dedication to the professional community and its commitment to creating a clear aligner system that's fully aligned with how dental practices work.

"This is the next generation of CandidPro," says Candid's Chief Executive Officer, Nick Greenfield. "Our new clinical capabilities will help our doctors bring more of their own expertise to each case while preserving the efficiency, orthodontic support, and minimally invasive treatment philosophy many already love."

With this slate of clinical enhancements, CandidPro doctors will have the option of incorporating attachments, interproximal reduction (IPR), bite ramps, and customizable preferences into their clear aligner cases.

CandidPro still emphasizes a streamlined approach to clear aligners that minimizes the need for IPR and attachments, enabling their doctors to reduce follow-up appointments while preserving enamel. These new features will add more treatment flexibility to the CandidPro platform while still championing that streamlined approach.

"We believe in minimizing the use of IPR and auxiliaries whenever possible," says Candid's Chief Dental Officer, Dr. Brian Gray. "We also believe that our experienced CandidPro doctors should treat cases with our aligners in conjunction with auxiliaries and IPR as they see fit. These enhancements will allow those with deep experience in treatment planning to flex their skills while maintaining the efficient treatment model we're known for."

These new features round out the CandidPro offering by accentuating the remote monitoring, patient engagement, and orthodontist-supported treatment planning capabilities that already make CandidPro a popular choice among dentists.

"CandidPro is 100% committed to building a clear aligner platform that meets and exceeds providers' expectations by giving them more clinical control, more high-touch service, and more ways to approach treatment," says Greenfield. "We're thrilled to roll out these, and even more, enhancements to our providers this year, and it is only the beginning. Paired with our newly announced Philips Sonicare collaboration, this is going to be a pivotal year for CandidPro."

CandidPro is offering providers early access to its newest features and will be showcasing them at booth #1308 at the 2023 Chicago Midwinter Meeting, February 23–25, 2023.

izzo®, a partner to Premier Dental®, a global developer, manufacturer, and distributor of dental and medical products, is pleased to introduce izzo®: a professionally inspired 4-in-1 Oral Care System that delivers the highest level of at-home hygiene care to patients.

The first and only of its kind, izzo is more than an ordinary toothbrush. It is a comprehensive oral care system that contains virtually everything consumers need to achieve optimal oral health in between their visits with dental professionals. The system includes:

• An advanced power handle, with three speeds (Ultra, Daily, and Gentle), that features a timer to help ensure patients brush for the recommended amount of time.

• Interchangeable oscillating heads to attach to the power handle:

o A brush head with soft bristles and a polishing cup for at-home stain removal. When used with the included izzo Enamel Polishing Paste, the system has been shown to remove surface stains and soft plaque 73% better than advanced whitening toothpastes,*¹ and does so safely, with 45% less abrasion on the teeth.*¹

• A scaler to remove plaque and debris from hard-to-clean places between the teeth and above the gumline. It is made from medical grade polymer and designed specifically for at-home use, with a flexible tip that is safe for consumers.

• A UVC sanitizing case, which kills 99.99% of germs,^†1 including bacteria and viruses, that can hide on the brush head and polishing cup head.

“After 41 years as a dental hygienist, I have encountered many products for at-home use, and with izzo, I can say it is a revolutionary system that provides a comprehensive clean,” said Lil Caperila, RDH, BSDH, MEd, and Manager of Continuing Professional Education at Premier Dental. “I recommend it to all of my family, friends, and colleagues, so they can be empowered to take charge of their oral health in between visits to their dental professional.”

With izzo, professionals and their patients can feel confident in the efficacy of the 4-in-1, as it is based in science and data. Shown to be superior to advanced whitening toothpastes regarding removal of surface stains and soft plaque, the system also has 93% better cleaning efficiency than advanced whitening toothpastes.^‡1

“izzo and its four steps—brush, polish, scale, and sanitize—were inspired by dental professionals and what they do every day, and that is so important to us,” said Julie Charlestein, izzo Founder and CEO, and CEO of Premier Dental. “Our goal is and has always been to be a partner to dental professionals. We want to complement the great care they provide in their offices, by delivering an oral care system that can help improve and maintain oral health on the days their patients aren’t seeing them.”

The izzo 4-in-1 Oral Care System is now available through Benco Dental™, one of the nation’s largest dental distributors. izzo will be officially unveiled to dental professionals at this year’s Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting (booth #4102).

Providing Science-Backed, Great-Tasting Products for Conditions Most Often Seen in Dental Offices, the TheraBreath Brand Invites Attendees to Learn About its Latest Oral Health Solutions

TheraBreath™ brand, a leading provider of science-based, effective, and great-tasting over-the-counter dental hygiene products, announces it will join the industry’s top professionals and exhibitors as they gather for the 158th Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting taking place Feb. 23 – 25 at the McCormick Convention Center.

TheraBreath representatives will be on-site to hand out samples, answer questions, and share information about why its dentist-formulated products are the ideal option for better patient care. Attendees can visit booth #2202 to learn why TheraBreath mouthrinses have over 90,000 five-star reviews online.

“We’re proud to join one of the industry’s premier professional events for the first time to help dental professionals everywhere fulfill their purpose of providing patients with better rinses for their best possible oral health,” said Kevin Sherlock, Marketing Vice President, TheraBreath and Personal Care Brands. “While TheraBreath Fresh Breath mouthrinse was first developed 30 years ago by Dr. Harold Katz, the line of products has since grown, and we now have effective and great-tasting solutions for a variety of conditions dental professionals often see in offices.”

While TheraBreath mouthrinse may be new for the professional dental audience, expert dentist and inventor Dr. Katz spent much of his career researching the effects of bacteria on a person’s breath. He was able to develop a formula that kills bad breath bacteria right at the source and it’s made without alcohol, sulfates, and dyes, remaining true to his beliefs around a minimal and intentional ingredient list.

The original purpose of TheraBreath was to help one person, and now it helps hygienists everywhere fulfill their purpose to provide patients with better rinses for their best possible oral health.

Now TheraBreath offers a full line of condition-specific rinses—a rinse for every need—that can be incorporated as part of an effective oral health routine:

● TheraBreath Healthy Smile Oral Rinse is formulated with sodium fluoride for caries prevention.

● TheraBreath Healthy Gums Oral Rinse contains the active ingredient cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) to help fight plaque and gingivitis for up to 24 hours. It can be used daily and is a great adjunct to any oral care routine, especially those prone to gum health issues.

● TheraBreath Dry Mouth Oral Rinse contains naturally sourced enzymes to instantly soothe and moisturize for dry mouth relief.

● TheraBreath Fresh Breath Oral Rinse is specially formulated for oral malodor and contains stabilized sodium chlorite, an ingredient that harnesses the power of oxygen to fight anaerobic bacteria that produce malodorous volatile sulfur compounds. It is clinically shown to reduce bad breath and has the ADA Seal of Acceptance.

Under each orange cap, TheraBreath rinses are dentist-formulated and made with intentionally selected, effective ingredients, free of alcohol, sulfates, and dyes. In addition to the adult rinses, TheraBreath™ products includes a lineup of dental hygiene products like mouthrinse for kids and TheraBreath™ Dry Mouth lozenges, all available to dental professionals.

TheraBreath will be featured at the Midwinter Meeting with a complete “Hygiene Squad” of Church and Dwight brands including: Waterpik®, Arm & Hammer™, and Spinbrush™. For more information about TheraBreath products and how to order them for your dental office please visit www.therabreath.com/pro.

PDS is the first dental support organization to partner with an academic institution using Epic’s Community Connect program.

Pacific Dental Services® (PDS), one of the nation’s leading dental support organizations, announces it has partnered with High Point University (HPU) in North Carolina to extend its instance of Epic, the most widely used comprehensive electronic health records system in the United States, for use in the college’s Workman School of Dental Medicine and dental practices affiliated with the school through the HPU Oral Health Network.

This unique partnership, the first of its kind for a dental support organization (DSO) to partner with an academic institution, was made possible by Epic’s Community Connect program, which allows larger health care systems already employing Epic to extend its use to others that would not otherwise be in a position to utilize the platform.

As part of the agreement, PDS will roll out Epic at High Point University, provide the onboarding and training for the platform, and maintain ongoing support services. HPU will then use Epic to give its dental students real-world exposure to the future of dental-medical integration through the technology, while providing integrated dental and medical care to its patients.

“We are honored for the opportunity to work with the High Point University Workman School of Dental Medicine to enhance dental and medical data integration and enable the future of oral health care,” said Stephen E. Thorne IV, Founder and CEO of Pacific Dental Services. “We know the impact dental professionals can have on patients’ overall health and in the overall health care system. We are taking steps to lead the industry and elevate dentists from being primarily focused on fixing dentition to embracing their full potential and becoming a vital part of every patient's primary health care team.”

Epic is used by leading hospitals, health care systems and medical schools, which rely on the company’s unique software to manage the patient’s health journey. Given the link between oral health and certain systemic conditions, an integrated EHR was the clear solution to unite previously compartmentalized health data. After several years of collaboration and foundational work, PDS became the first DSO in the world to implement Epic into all of its more than 900 supported dental practices nationwide in 2022. Working with Epic to partner for dental has already yielded significant benefits for PDS’ supported clinicians and their patients, through improved collaboration between providers, early detection of systemic conditions, and enhanced patient experience.

“We are very excited about this partnership. As an Epic Community Connect partner of Pacific Dental Services, we are adding a custom-built dental version of Epic that bridges dentistry and medicine. Epic allows us to capture real-time data that will have tremendous value for delivering integrated oral healthcare, education, and research,” said Dr. Ali Shazib, DMD, Chief Clinical Officer of the HPU Oral Health Network. “With the experience of PDS, we are confident we will be supported throughout the entire process, from preparation to go-live and beyond.”

High Point University’s Doctor of Dental Medicine degree program will enroll its inaugural class in the fall of 2024 and the Workman School of Dental Medicine will be North Carolina’s only dental school that is part of a private university. Starting their first semester, students will spend a significant amount of time rotating through HPU Oral Health Network practices to provide and observe patient care and learn dental auxiliary roles and functions.

Part of that experiential learning will be utilizing state-of-the-art technology, including Epic, to manage patients’ oral health and medical needs. The HPU Oral Health Network will be fully interoperable with health care systems utilizing Epic (and able to exchange records with any health system that uses modern standards), allowing for team-based and integrated care for patients. In addition, dental students will have the ability to refer undiagnosed medical conditions to health care providers as well as manage the oral health needs for patients who are referred to them by their medical colleagues. This form of integrated care is the future of health care, underscoring the importance of oral health to overall health, and will allow HPU graduates to thrive in a team-based environment.

“Pacific Dental Services’ Epic implementation into the HPU Oral Health Network of clinical practices allows us to leverage data to advance clinical decision making and outcomes research,” said Dr. Scott S. De Rossi, DMD, MBA, Founding Dean of HPU’s Workman School of Dental Medicine and CEO of HPU Oral Health Network. “Having Epic through a Community Connect affiliation with PDS allows us to be at the forefront of integrating general and oral health. It will allow us to provide an elevated patient experience and improve health outcomes for those whom we serve, ensuring our students get the very best clinical education.”

“We believe that the collaboratively designed Pacific Dental Services instance of the Epic health records system is the most powerful dental platform in the world,” said David Baker, Chief Information and Digital Officer of Pacific Dental Services. “Once siloed data is now together, forging a true longitudinal patient record, which will in turn drive powerful oral-systemic health connections. We plan to expand on this work with additional dental schools, private dental practices, DSOs, and health care systems to offer Epic through the Community Connect program.”
