from page one 3Greater New York Dental Meeting — Nov. 30, 2015 side oral cancer test, called EXPyOC. “We’re triangulating in on the right answers,” Pond said, explaining why the simple, three-phase procedure is so accurate. To dramatically reduce the per- centages of false-positives seen with most other screening technologies, and to make it far easer for clinicians to know when a patient definitely needs to be referred, the technology goes far beyond UV-light testing. It also includes two molecular-level markers with high sensitivity and specificity to cancerous and precan- cerous cells. Pond said hygienists have been especially interested in the technol- ogybecauseofthewayitenablesthem to rely on clinical measurements to back up any recommendation that a patient should be referred. Another big selling point for practices: The test costs only $20 per patient — even less if the first two phases of the test reveal that step three isn’t needed. Another product generating buzz amonghygienistsistheiStarcordless prophylaxis handpiece, which can be seen in the DentalEZ booth, No. 3409. The company says the handpiece is designed to make dental hygiene pro- cedures “easier, faster and less stress- ful,”inpartbygettingridofhosesand the foot pedal. In booth No. 2000, you can learn about the MyRay Hyperion X5, which the company describes as “the small- est panoramic imaging system ever.” That means it can be added to virtu- ally any dental practice. You can also handle the C-U2 intraoral camera, which is designed to depict high-def- inition images in natural colors. That can be critical when communicating strategies and results with patients. ACTEON is in the exhibit hall with what’s being called the market’s “first personal scanner,” called the PSPIX. You can see it in booth No. 4827. It provides all of the benefits of a phos- phor plate system, but it’s three times smaller than anything else on the market. Clinicians can shoot an X-ray and run the plate without leaving the patient’s side — generating an image in less than nine seconds. Always a great booth to visit when you want “to learn more,” Sharper- Practice, No. 927, has some of den- tistry’s most innovative products on display within reach of one another. You can try on the Cinemizer OLED virtual reality video glasses from Carl Zeiss, then make half a turn and test out the I-DENT EverClear mirror, which doesn’t need to constantly be wiped or air-sprayed to keep it clear. To learn more, visit the Greater New York Dental Meeting exhibit hall today. It’s open until 5:30 p.m. About the Publisher Tribune America, LLC 116 W. 23rd St., Suite 500 New York, N.Y. 10011 Phone: (212) 244-7181 Fax: (212) 244-7185 E-mail: info@dental-tribune.com www.dental-tribune.com Publisher & Chairman Torsten Oemus t.oemus@dental-tribune.com President/Chief Executive Officer Eric Seid e.seid@dental-tribune.com Group Editor Kristine Colker k.colker@dental-tribune.com Managing Editor Fred Michmershuizen f.michmershuizen@dental-tribune.com Managing Editor Sierra Rendon s.rendon@dental-tribune.com Managing Editor Robert Selleck r.selleck@dental-tribune.com Product/Account Manager Humberto Estrada h.estrada@dental-tribune.com Product/Account Manager Maria Kaiser m.kaiser@dental-tribune.com Product/Account Manager Will Kenyon w.kenyon@dental-tribune.com Business Development Manager Travis Gittens t.gittens@dental-tribune.com Education Director Christiane Ferret c.ferret@dtstudyclub.com Accounting Department Nirmala Singh n.singh@dental-tribune.com Published by Tribune America © 2015 Tribune America, LLC All rights reserved. today Greater New York Dental Meeting Show Dailies Vol. 10 appear during the Greater New York Dental Meeting in New York City, Nov. 29 to Dec. 2, 2015.
