INNOVATION 7from page 1 on SphereTEC filler technology, a pro- prietary method of manufacturing microscaled, well-defined spherical superstructures, composed of submi- cron glass. The company asserts that the breakthrough technology makes the material easier to place, shade-match, finish and polish — and it’s more resist- ant to staining and wear. In booth No. 149, Lares Research’s exclusive Canadian distributor Den- tal Fix Rx, can show you the Fluoresce HD handpiece, which is described as being “the world’s first dual-wave- length handpiece system.” It has a light at the head that switches between normal white LED light and Fluoresce HD 405 nm LED light, which causes caries to fluoresce red, restorative material to glow yel- low and healthy tooth to show as light green. In booth No. 105 you can see the instrument described by one clinician as “a revolutionary paradigm shift in dynamic surgical navigation.” Claro- Nav developed the navigation technol- ogy called “Trace and Place,” labeling it Navident 2.0. Dr. Mark Kwan used the device on the Live Dentistry Stage Thursday while performing “3D Digi- tal Navigation Live Implant Surgery,” with narration by Dr. Mark Lin. In the ClaroNav booth earlier in the day, Kwon said that among the 5 Attendees stream into the Exhibit Hall for lunch on Thursday. device’s biggest benefits is its low barrier to entry. “It is so, so, simple compared with other systems,” Kwon said. “You just take a CBCT scan, load it up and you’re good to go.” That reduces exposure to the patient, and means a clinician could even work with a recent CBCT scan the patient might bring from another source to assess surgery options. Kwon also noted that he’s able to per- form a virtual surgery in advance as a practice session, so he knows exactly what he will be doing with the patient at the time of actual surgery. That’s just a hint at the scope of innovative products and services on display in the PDC Exhibit Hall. Today is your final chance to keep exploring, with the hall set to close at 5:30 p.m. Live dentistry continues today in Exhibit Hall n The two live dentistry ses- sions in the Exhibit Hall yesterday attracted the usual capacity crowds, with observers spilling out beyond the designated sitting area.
