A2 XX I N DUST RY N EWS XXXXX Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | February 2012 Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | August 2017 Sulzer Mixpac 1 ml system delivers big on flexibility By Sulzer Mixpac Staff Sulzer Mixpac has developed a new one-component system for hygienic dental applications: the 1 ml system. The product has a standard Luer Lock, which provides a highly secure connection be- cause of its screw-thread design. And it comes with three different, bendable and rotatable cannulas. The company reports that its 1 ml ap- plication system has an innovative, flex- ible cannula, which is available in three different gauges: 18, 20 and 22. “The metal cannula on our Luer Lock tips is 360-degree rotatable and can be bent up to 180 degrees without reducing the inner diameter and the material flow. This allows an individual and safe appli- cation of low-viscosity to gel materials in difficult clinical situations,” said Anja Stouten, the company’s head of product management/dental. The metal cannula is rounded by a vi- bratory finishing process. Because of this special surface treatment, the metal is The uetal cannula on the Luer Lock tip is 360-degree rotatable and can be bent up to 180 degrees without reducing the inner diaueter and uaterial flow.

For the production of the 1 ml system, only high-quality, FDA-listed materials are used. This is the case for the plastic materials as well as for the medical stain- less steel of the cannula. The application process is described by the company as being “intuitive.” The ergonomic design of the 1 ml car- tridge ensures a stable and precise appli- cation. The coated silicone O-ring facilitates application and reliably seals the system. The cartridges are available in white, black and transparent and thus suitable for different dental materials. Speakers announced for Dental 3D University 2017 KaVo Kerr will host its third annual Den- tal 3D University (3DU), featuring imag- ing solutions from KaVo™, Instrumentar- ium™ and Gendex™. The two-day event, Sept. 29-30 in Dallas, offers dental profes- sionals an educational environment dedi- cated to cone beam 3-D (CBCT) solutions. The event offers dentists, staff and den- tal students the opportunity to earn up to 11 C.E. credits from sessions on incorporat- ing 3-D into your practice and maximiz- ing its investment, implant planning with 3-D and surgical guides, reading 3-D scans and more, presented by experts such as: Dr. Lou Shuman, Dr. Kevin Aminzadeh, Dr. Douglas Chenin, Dr. Lou Graham, Dr. Diwakar Kinra, Dr. Lisa Koenig, Christine Taxin, Dr. Terry Work, Dr. Gy Yatros, Laura Howerton, RDH, and Art Curley. “Being the go-to partner for dentists means offering more than just a stellar product. 3DU is an expression of our com- mitment to the dental team — wanting them to be educated and empowered to use state-of-the-art technology in deliv- ering optimal care and outcomes,” said Pankaj Jaggi, senior director, marketing, for KaVo Kerr Imaging. “We are excited to present a program that will offer tips den- tists can put into use right away, as well as concepts that will benefit them in long- term strategizing for the dental practice.” The venue for 3DU, 20 minutes north of downtown Dallas, is the Omni Frisco Hotel. Just outside is entertainment and shopping at The Star, the new social hub of Frisco and home of the Dallas Cowboys. Hotel arrangements made by Aug. 31 can qualIfy for the 3DU special rate.

Real-time computer vision navigation and CBCT are used to guide dissection. Whereas previous iterations of this workshop, dating back to the inaugural course in fall 2016, concentrated on gen- eral head and neck dissection, the work- shop this fall will be optimized for sleep medicine, sleep dentistry and TMD and airway issues. Hatcher plans to approach the course again from an imaging point of view — “the kinds of things we can sense using imaging,” he said. As a physician who sees and treats patients, Appelblatt can help “triage patients so that they receive the appropriate treatment once the di- agnosis has been made,” Hatcher said of Appelblatt’s role in the workshop and dentistry in general. And Asadi is “the anatomist — the glue that puts this all together,” Hatcher said. “He loves anato- my, he loves to teach and he’s good at it. “Dr. Asadi is engineering some very clever things here. He’s bringing to- gether disparate experiences to focus on one problem. All of us (Asadi, Hatcher and Appelblatt) work with anatomy but through a different lens,” Hatcher said. “Hopefully, our combined experience and expertise make a good course.” Appelblatt added: “We’re all taking care of our patients and we all want the same thing, which is the best for each and ev- ery one of them, so from whatever point of view we come at this, we should talk about things more — and that’s what’s going to happen.” “Dental Sleep Medicine, Head and Neck, TMD and Airway Dissection and CBCT Cadaver Workshop” is scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon, Thursday, Aug. 24, at CDA Presents San Francisco. The three- hour workshop offers 3.0 core units and will repeat at 1:30 p.m. To learn more about this workshop, you can view a video interview with Hatcher and Appelblatt on the California Dental Association’s YouTube channel.
