4 exhibitors Greater New York Dental Meeting — Nov. 26, 2023 As RGP approaches 30 years in business, it’s better than ever By RGP Staff n As the pandemic slowly fades away into the rear view mirror and the smoke from a couple years of uncertainty clears, RGP is standing stronger than ever in the dental stool game, according to the company. Based in historic Bristol, R.I., RGP spent all of 2022 pumping dental chairs out of their factory at a record pace. “In the spring of 2020, we were standing there wondering which direction we would go when every- thing hit the fan with Covid. We knew we had to get creative and roll up our sleeves to ensure that as a small busi- ness, we could withstand the blow of the pandemic,” said RGP Vice Presi- dent Jason DeCosta. “Thankfully, we have some incred- ibly loyal customers who even in the midst of that whole situation found their way to our website and to our phone lines and were still order- ing chairs and other items from us, helping us push forward during that tough time,” Costa said. “We ended up having an overall successful 2020, which was amazing. 2021 followed suit and sales grew back to our pre- pandemic levels” When asked about 2022 DeCosta said: “We were very fortunate to have had an incredible year of growth last year. It was by far our best year since our inception back in 1995. “We had a great push in 2022 from well-known ergonomic speak- ers recommending our products, an incredible stretch of successful trade shows — many of which were record setting, and a few new products that really served as catalysts to push our sales to new levels. “It was the perfect storm for our business, and we look forward to continuing that success into 2023 and beyond.” RGP specializes in providing den- tal professionals with optimal seating options for proper ergonomics in the workplace. It offers unique chair designs that can be combined with arm supports and other accessories. It mainly oper- ates in the dental sector but also has a foothold in other industries, such as ophthalmology, dermatology, plastic surgery and veterinary.

We are excited to introduce our lat- est advancements, the Evolve Matrix System and TwinRing Universal, designed to create predictable and natural-looking outcomes for your Class II composite restorations. The Evolve Matrix System is a game-changer for dental profession- als. This system, building upon the success of the Bioclear Biofit HD, offers four distinct emergence pro- files and multiple heights, making it easier for clinicians to achieve pre- dictable results. These matrices are color-coded for easy identification of the desired emergence profile and have the height printed on each matrix. Their design ensures superior buccal, lin- gual and occlusal wrap around the tooth, reducing the need for extensive finishing work. With a thickness of 75 microns, these pre-shaped anatomical matri- ces are stiffer than traditional mylar matrices, simplifying placement and adaption. Their unique extension allows deep seating into the sulcus, guaranteeing margins with minimal overhands and broad contacts. More- over, they can accommodate rubber dam clamps, enhancing versatility. In Class II composite procedures, the TwinRing Universal is a stand- out solution. Its anti-slip technology ensures stability, even on challeng- ing teeth, eliminating separators slip- ping off unexpectedly. This technology is complemented by impressive separation power right out of the box, thanks to the twin Nitinol springs that maintain their power over time. The TwinRing Universal’s unique design adapts to various tooth types and shapes, including short molars 5 (Photo/Provided by Bioclear Matrix Systems) and premolars, ensuring dental pro- fessionals can consistently achieve natural-looking results. It also eliminates the need for sepa- rate premolar and molar separators, streamlining procedures and reduc- ing costs. Bioclear Matrix System is dedi- cated to advancing dentistry and helping clinicians create outcomes that are both predictable and natu- rally appealing when working with composite materials.

8 exhibitors Greater New York Dental Meeting — Nov. 26, 2023 LightWalker ATS: Designed for dental perfectionists and forward-thinking professionals By Fotona Staff n The Fotona LightWalker ATS dual wavelength (Er:YAG and Nd:YAG) laser has revolutionized dentistry with treatments that are often more efficient, more effective and more sat- isfying to patients and practitioners than ever before. With more than 60 years of expe- rience in laser technology, Fotona’s award-winning LightWalker dental laser systems are leading the dental industry with unrivaled precision, performance and versatility. LightWalker lasers provide an extensive range of clinical applica- tions tailored to numerous dental applications, covering: • Restorative dentistry • Endodontics • Implantology • Periodontics • Soft-tissue surgery • Pediatric dentistry • Holistic dentistry • Facial esthetics • Airway and more! In addition to traditional dental procedures, the LightWalker opens up a broad spectrum of innovative treatment possibilities, encompass- ing airway enhancement and facial esthetics. Fotona’s NightLase therapy stands out as a patient-friendly laser treat- ment dedicated to improving the quality of sleep. This patented laser modality optimizes pulse length, ensuring gentle and comfortable application on the delicate tissues inside the mouth, all while delivering clinically effective results. Leveraging the unique Fotona pulse characteristics, SmoothLase & LipLase utilize the photothermal capabilities of the LightWalker laser to initiate the formation of new and more elastic collagen. By treating the entire oral cavity, these procedures can tighten and lift the nasolabial folds, lip lines, jowls and cheeks, effectively reversing the signs of aging in many cases. In the case of LipLase, the laser delivers targeted heat pulses into the mucosa of the lips, stimulating new collagen formation and resulting in 4 The Fotona LightWalker ATS from above.

The LightWalker is designed for dental perfectionists and all forward- thinking professionals who wish to upgrade their daily dental experience with new treatment possibilities that only the latest laser technology can offer. “The Fotona LightWalker laser sys- tem is a state-of-the-art technology system that has been a great addition to my practice,” said Dr. Mohamed Fayad. “It added an extra dimension to endodontic procedures performed on a daily basis. “Offering dual wavelengths (Nd- YAG & Er-YAG), different applications in non-surgical and surgical endodon- 3 The Fotona LightWalker ATS dual wavelength (Er:YAG and Nd:YAG) laser.

Some cements require primers and bonding agents to offer the best bond- ing to make up for the shortfalls of its original chemistry, enabling it to now bond to, let’s say zirconia, or allow a chemical adhesion to porcelain and tooth structure. Other cements are formulated with self-adhesive prop- erties offering these chemical bonds to ceramic, zirconia and titanium. We have developed a new line of cements that focuses on superior adhesion, specifically for the 3-D printing and milling revolution. TAUB introduces ENERGY CTZ Cements, 5 (Photo/Provided by TAUB Dental) chemically formulated to bond 3-D “ceramic” printing resins, 3-D milled zirconia, 3-D milled titanium and tooth structure. Two versions of ENERGY are avail- able, CTZ1 and CTZ3 (see the charts at right). I will be at booth No. 2908 through- out the show and would be happy to meet you and answer any of your questions on ENERGY and our other All-on-X Resins, STELLAR DC Acrylic (for chairside immediate load pickup and conversions) and LMD Elixirs (for gingival characterization of 3-D printed temp dentures).
