2015 medmark media kit

From The PublisherDear Readers:

The innovation and creativity of the dental community always amazes me! With each issue of our MedMark publications, Endodontic Practice US, Implant Practice US, and Orthodontic Practice US, it becomes more apparent that clinicians are using all of the equipment, materials, and techniques available today to deliver optimal dental care to their patients. Our authors not only perform state-of-the-art dentistry, but they are gracious enough to share this with our readers in their well-researched and insightful articles.

This year, my dream for a new publication became a reality with the launch of Dental Sleep Practice. This quarterly peer-reviewed publication will showcase the evolving field of dental sleep medicine, discuss how to expand skills, and potentially play a positive role in solving problems that have been plaguing their patients for years. We welcome Dr. Steve Carstensen as our Editor-in-Chief overseeing timely, crucial editorial for this important project.

For all of our magazines, we search globally for relevant topics, authors, opinions, continuing education, case studies, and technology to provide our readers with a mix of educational topics targeted specifically for our specialty practitioner audience.

As technology quickly advances, we are pacesetters! MedMark publications are in versatile formats – combining the best that print publications and the Internet have to offer. Our magazines are in digital form as well as print, so you can obtain CE credits online as well as by mailing in the quizzes. From CE webinars to Google Hangouts, our listeners have the opportunity to click with dental experts and to have questions answered in on-line chat format. For our advertisers, we continue to expand our e-media opportunities and offer cutting-edge ways to reach our specialty audience through innovative, high quality interactive packages.

The MedMark family is always on the grow! Our staff, editorial team, and involved and knowledge-able Editorial Board are constantly progressing and eager to share new opportunities that await dental professionals with every issue.

What can you tell us about your background?

I grew up in Fort Lauderdale and Duck Key, Florida, the youngest of four children of a medical surgeon father and adoption attorney mother. I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Miami and dental degree from Nova Southeastern University. While in dental school, I met my future wife in the anatomy lab, and we have become quite the dental couple! During this time, I received several awards for clinical and academic dentistry, including being able to present an implant case poster at the Astra World Congress in 2008 with my wife.

After graduating from dental school, I went to practice in the Florida Keys with Dr. Fred Troxel, a recognized restorative and implant dentist. Fred taught me an incred-ible amount about dentistry and practice

management while giving an opportunity to cement my desires to be intimately involved with implant dentistry with an emphasis on implant overdentures. I returned to dental school, enrolling in a Prosthodontics program at Ohio State University, and did everything I could to absorb the “fire hose of information” in a residency program. Under the tutelage of Drs. Julie Holloway, Wayne Campagni, Ed McGlumphy, Ernest Svensson, and Robert Seghi, I was able to develop and publish foundational research on implant overdentures.

Soon after graduating as a Prosthodontist, I became a dual faculty member at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and Loma Linda University. While at UNLV, I took over a pre-doctoral implant program that was doing a trickle of cases and opened up the floodgates, as my goal was to get every

student to restore implant cases and, for those who had an interest, to place standard and narrow diameter implants. The dental students at UNLV are a special group, and throughout my tenure they were thrilled about learning as much as possible about implant dentistry. My greatest academic reward was knowing that in UNLV’s first 9 years, two students enrolled into Prosthodontics resi-dency programs, but during my 2 years as faculty, we had three people enroll in 1 year! While my wife was studying at Loma Linda’s Orthodontics program, I became involved with the Prosthodontics program. It is such a pleasure being able to teach side by side with amazing faculty, Drs. Matthew Kattadiyil and Charles Goodacre.

I began practicing in Sonora, California, after a practice opportunity became avail-able from a retiring implant dentist. After

PRACTICE PROFILE

At present, one can go into a cardi-ologist’s office with chest pain and

— within minutes — a non-invasive, three-dimensional scan can be taken so the doctor can actually look at the great vessels and structures supplying the heart. The cardiologist can see details so intricate, they were previously seen only through the intra-arterial insertion of a camera. Think about the treatment afforded to a patient with this state of the art technology; it is limitless.

Now imagine in the future if we can use this same technology in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Imagine seeing a patient’s jaw structure, surrounding nerves, and actual anatomy without any magnifi-cation or distortion prior to placing dental implants. Imagine the three-dimensional treatment-planning capabilities. Imagine if you could see the bony structure many times prior to actually bringing the patient in for surgery. You would be providing a terrific service for your patient, as treatment plans could be very specifically designed for that particular patient without having to gener-alize as “in most cases we do this.” Your surgery time as well as the patient’s post-operative swelling and discomfort would be greatly reduced. Imagine also in the future if you could use this three-dimensional tech-nology to see where a patient’s mandibular nerve canal lies in reference to a lower third

molar that needs to be removed. The infor-mation obtained could be priceless.

Well, the future is here today. We now have the ability to obtain a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan of a patient performed by a unit solely made for dentistry. In the past, if we wanted to send a patient for a CT scan, the only option we had was to have them go to a hospital or radi-ology facility for a medical grade CT. These scans exposed patients to high doses of radiation and often produced a low resolu-tion scan that made treatment planning a challenge. The cost, price, and radiation have made this somewhat prohibitive.

Now, with the advent of an in-office cone beam scanner, we can deliver high-resolu-tion, low-dose scans packaged with soft-ware that is specific for the field of dentistry. The footprint of these newer machines is no greater than the size of a panorex unit, which easily fits in most offices. In contrast to a medical-grade CT scan, where patients would have to lie down and remain perfectly still for the whole scan, patients comfortably stand or sit when the cone beam CT scan is performed.

There are many advantages of having an in-office machine. The ease of being able to walk the patient to a part of your office and take a scan for them is great. No longer do you have to give the patients a prescription for a study and hope that they get it done, nor do you have to spend the time tracking down the scan. Think of the benefit of being able to do the scan, developing a treatment plan specific for the patient, reviewing the plan, and then scheduling the surgery all in the same visit.

Ever since Wilhelm Roentgen’s acci-dental — but momentous — discovery of X-rays in 1896, innovative imaging technolo-gies have continued to dramatically improve health care. Digital radiography started in the field of dentistry with Dr. Francis Mouyen, a French dental student who developed it in 1982. Cone beam CT (CBCT) started around 2000 with the early adoptors being some dental schools, surgeons, and radiologists. Now one can hardly pick a dental journal without seeing two to three articles about the exciting technology of three-dimen-sional scanning. The increase in demand for imaging in the oral surgical practice has increased because of the need for better correlation between surgical placement and prosthetic restorability of dental implants as well as improved surgical techniques, which require three-dimensional visualization of the dental anatomy. We no longer have to treat three-dimensional patients based upon two-dimensional diagnostic means; rather we can develop three-dimensional treatment plans to treat our three-dimensional patients.

Cone beam CT: What is it?Cone beam CT is a three-dimensional

radiographic tool that can be used to obtain anatomically accurate information. This infor-mation, in turn, can help identify possibili-ties and limitations of treatment as well as provide us with a powerful communication tool to be utilized with our patients and refer-ring doctors. In the past, say, in the posterior maxilla, when two-dimensional radiographs were obtained, you had superimposition of adjacent roots, posts, gutta percha, the zygomatic buttress, and floor of the maxillary

Cone beam CT applications in oral surgery

Dr. Bart Silverman discusses the benefits of an added dimension in imaging

Bart W. Silverman, DMD, is in private practice limited to oral and maxillofacial surgery in New City, New York, and is an attending physician at Westchester County Medical Center, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Nyack Hospital, Department of Dentistry. He is also a Clinical Associate Professor at New York Medical College. He

lectures nationally on several different implant systems and is president of the Bi-State and Hudson River Implant Study Clubs. He is a past president of the Rockland County Dental Society and previously served on the Board of Governors of the Ninth District Dental Society. Dr. Silverman graduated summa cum laude from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1982 and received his doctorate in Dental Medicine in 1986 from Fairleigh S. Dickinson Jr. College of Dental Medicine, where he was a member of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honor Society. He completed his Oral and Maxillofacial Surgical residency at Westchester County Medical Center in 1989 and was Chief Resident during his final year. Dr. Silverman is currently a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

TECHNOLOGY

IQity Impression Technique™ with InterActive™ and Legacy™4 Implants

Critical to implant treatment success is the transference of the three-

dimensional spatial position of the implant platform from the mouth to the dental laboratory technician in order to create the final restoration. While the digital workflow is gaining popularity to assist in this treatment process, there still remains the need to have an accurate method for traditional impressioning. Implant Direct’s InterActive™ conical connection implants (shown) and Legacy™4 internal hex connection implants, both feature a new patent-pending fixture-mount. The mount is designed to provide the accuracy of an open-tray transfer with the simplicity of a closed-tray transfer via the IQity Impression Technique™.

To begin, fully seat implant, ensuring the correct indexing of flat surface of fixture-mount. Occlude screw access hole to prevent ingress of impression material (Figure 1). Inject impression material around the entire fixture-mount (Figure 2).

Fill impression tray with heavier body impression material than that used around the fixture-mount. Make a full arch impres-sion, and allow the material to set (Figure 3). Remove impression tray from the mouth and confirm that the colored top portion of fixture-mount is retained within impression material (Figure 4).

Attach fixture-mount to an implant analog, and insert into impression (Figure 5). Snap assembly securely and accurately to the fixture-mount top located within the impression. This process creates an implant-level impression. Alternatively, an abutment replica may be inserted into the impression to create an abutment-level impression (Figure 6).

Sensation™ M Active Stainless Steel Self-Ligating Brackets provide ideal

control in all stages of treatment. The passive stage of the clip during the initial treatment phase allows for more efficient leveling and aligning. Sliding mechanics are also enhanced during the passive and transitional phases. The active stage of the clip engages the archwire securely into the base of the archwire slot, fully expressing the in-out, angulation, and torque built-in to the bracket. Unlike traditional brackets, where forces can diminish when ligatures are stretched into place, the self-ligating clip design offers continuous force levels during wire deflection/unloading. This allows practitioners to adjust time between office visits.

The bracket’s versatility is in the clip design. This is the part that undergoes the most stress and manipulation throughout treatment. To ensure the clip remains “true” under these circumstances, it has been manufactured using a cobalt-nickel alloy to provide high resiliency and durability. Also designed as a fixed clip to prevent acci-dental removal, reliable clip operation is a key feature of Sensation™ M.

A versatile bracketThe Sensation™ M Bracket is not only

built with self-ligation in mind; it is also a classic twin-wing design, and it preserves the ligation abilities of a traditional bracket. There is ample under tie-wing area for appli-cation of elastomeric chains, and its low profile and smooth rounded facial contours optimize comfort for a better patient experi-ence. Smooth rounded hooks also add to

the patient experience and allow for easy and secure engagement of elastics.

Perfect bracket lineup in finishing There are self-ligating brackets in today’s

market still designed with “torque in slot.” An undesirable effect arises as the treat-ment progresses with this bracket design. During the finishing stages when torquing teeth into their final position, the slots of the bracket align, but often the facial surfaces of the brackets do not. This can result in unwanted patient discomfort at the end of treatment, as opposed to the initial phases of treatment where this may be a more normal expectation. With Sensation™ M, however, the patient’s comfort progressively improves with treatment due to its torque-in-base design. In this case, when torque is applied, both the facial surfaces and slots align. The result is a far more comfortable and attractive “perfect bracket lineup.”

Intuitive bracket placementNothing is more important for simple

and accurate finishing than ideal bracket

placement. Sensation™ M aims to make correct placement easy with visual IDs, and a bracket-to-tooth fit that feels right. Each bracket is uniquely color-coded with an ID dot in the upper corner, and each features a long axis scribe line. This acts as a clear visual cue for placement at the top and bottom of the boding base. Furthermore, each bracket has a uniquely shaped, compound contour base to provide an ideal bracket fit to the tooth’s surface. This, combined with the 80-gauge micro-etched mesh base, ensures maximum bond strength and predictable and safe debonding.

With a passive-to-active design, high clip durability, and classic twin-wing elements, Sensation™ M is an intelligently designed bracket that delivers time savings for clini-cians, and ensures practice productivity remains at its highest.

PRODUCT PROFILE

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a debilitating disease resulting in greater

loss of life expectancy (LLE) and diminished quality of life (QOL), affecting anywhere from 3% to 7% of the U.S. population.1 The prevalence of OSA is higher in some subpopulations such as obese adults.2

Comorbidities include cardiovascular disease, renal disease, diabetes, depression, and motor vehicle accidents among others.1 The number of patients being diagnosed with OSA is increasing at an alarming rate of 15% per year likely due to increased patient and doctor awareness. From an economic perspective, the estimated annual costs of obstructive sleep apnea and its related comorbidities is estimated to be between $65 billion and $165 billion a year, according to a 2010 report published by the Harvard Medical School.3 Treatment modalities include weight loss, positional therapy, nasal decongestion, oral appliances, CPAP, soft tissue surgery — uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), orthognathic surgery in the form of maxillo-mandibular advancement (MMA) or mandibular advancement (MA) —

and tracheotomy. But perhaps the most effective and least invasive modality is the one infrequently discussed in the scientific circles: prevention in children through airway development.3,4,5,6,7 Part 1 of this article will explore the rationale and potential of preventing OSA in children at risk for OSA through proven methods of airway development and evolving diagnostic aids. Early screening and understanding of growth and development is critical in identifying pediatric patients at

risk for OSA or for developing future OSA as adults.

Breathing is a function of craniofacial anatomy and the resultant airflow resis-tance caused by the collapse of the struc-tures surrounding the upper airway (Figure 1), such as the tongue. The larger the size of the pharyngeal airway, or more specifi-cally, the larger the minimum cross sectional area (MCA) of the airway, the less collapse or obstruction that occurs during sleep when voluntary muscles such as the tongue become flaccid. Recent studies have corre-lated facial dentofacial morphology with airway volume, and airway dimensions have logically been correlated to risk factors for OSA.4,5,6 Furthermore, recent advances in imaging technology have made ultra-low-dose cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) such as the new i-CAT® FLX from Imaging Sciences International and everyday imaging of the airways possible with dose

Airway development and prevention of obstructive sleep apnea in children

Dr. Juan-Carlos Quintero discusses obstructive sleep apnea in younger patients

Juan-Carlos Quintero, DMD, MS, received his dental degree from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania and his degree in Orthodontics from the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF). He also holds a Master of Science degree in Oral Biology. He has served as national president of the American Association for

Dental Research-SRG, is a faculty member at the L.D. Pankey Institute, and an attending professor at Miami Children’s Hospital, Department of Pediatric Dentistry, as well as immediate past president of the South Florida Academy of Orthodontists (SFAO). He currently practices in South Miami, Florida. His academic interests include applications of 3D craniofacial imaging and airways in orthodontics.

Educational aims and objectivesThe aim of this article is to inform readers of the rationale and potential of preventing OSA in children at risk through proven methods of airway development and evolving diagnostic aids.

Expected outcomesOrthodontic Practice US subscribers can answer the CE questions on page 45 to earn 2 hours of CE from reading this article. Correctly answering the questions will demonstrate the reader can:• Realize the prevalence of OSA in certain populations.• Understand the involvement of the airway in OSA.• Identify some screening modalities used in diagnosing OSA.• Recognize some treatment options for OSA.

Orthodontic practice management leader Ortho2 has announced the release

of Practice Connect, an office-specific app that facilitates patient communication, adds powerful marketing features, and greatly expands orthodontists’ practice commu-nity. This Android and iPhone app is uniquely branded for each office and allows practices to customize the information seen by their patients, responsible parties, and prospec-tive patients. The app includes many exciting features including patient access to upcoming appointments, images, animations, even reward points and prizes, as well as global messaging and automatic GPS patient sign-in.

Amy Schmidt, Ortho2’s Director of Sales and Marketing, says, “Practice Connect was developed from specific customer input that we received over the last year. Many of our orthodontists told us they wanted an app that was designed and customized for their office which they could use to engage their patients, as well as drive new patients to their practice.”

Practice Connect lets patients set their

own reminders for appointments at exactly the time they want. In addition, patients can sign in for their appointment via the app’s GPS patient sign-in once they come within a certain distance of your office, and within a certain time before a scheduled appointment.

Practice Connect makes referrals simple and rewarding. Patients can easily enter the name and email address of the person they are referring. Your office gets an email, as well as the person being referred.

Dr. Tim Dumore, Orthodontist in Winnipeg, says, “I’m very excited to incor-porate Practice Connect into our office. What a fantastic way to interact with our patients, as well as for them to see how their treatment is progressing. This marketing tool will greatly help get our name out to those looking for an orthodontist in the area.”

Practice Connect runs seamlessly on Ortho2’s Edge cloud platform and is the latest in a series of mobile app development.

“The response to Practice Connect has been phenomenal. We are excited to be able

to leverage our cloud-based Edge system by adding a powerful patient-based app which is branded uniquely for each office. Now orthodontists can stay connected with their patients 24/7 by giving them mean-ingful content and unique mobile functions,” says Dr. Craig Scholz, Ortho2’s Director of Emerging Technologies.

Ortho2 products can be found in more than 2,000 orthodontic offices, and the company has been providing orthodontic software solutions for more than 30 years.

At the 2014 AAO Annual Session, Ormco™ Corporation unveiled Ormco™ Custom

— the company’s end-to-end digital suite of products and services. During hysterical in-booth mock debates, Ormco Custom candidates, Senator Tailor and Governor Cash, took the stage to argue which benefit of Ormco Custom is superior — personalization or profitability. If you missed the debates, here is a look at Ormco Custom’s suite of products.

Insignia™ Advanced Smile Design™Insignia — proven to reduce treatment time by 37% with 7 fewer patient visits* — is a fully customized bracket system with an exact calculated per-tooth prescription based on each unique anatomy, bracket

placement, and final position. Insignia™ Ai, the enhanced Insignia Advanced Smile Design Approver Interface, combines two occlusion tools into a simultaneous function for clini-cians to interact with the patient’s occlusion from multiple angles. The occlusion tool is accompanied by a wizard to easily navigate throughout the entire submission and approval experience. For added personaliza-tion, clear precision placement guides (jigs) shipped with each Insignia case provide exact bracket placement on a patient’s tooth before curing.

Lythos™ Digital Impression SystemHelping to make cumbersome PVS impres-sions a thing of the past, Ormco Custom includes the Lythos Digital Impression System. Lythos allows users to own, store, and send treatment scans to anyone that accepts .stl files — at no cost. The scanner uses AFI technology to capture and stitch together data in real-time, acquiring high-definition surface detail at all angulations of the tooth surface.

Unique to orthodontic impres-sion systems, Lythos can provide

up to 2.5 million 3D data points per second which results in a

rapid single high-resolution scan. Lythos’ open platform format and rebate program ensure the scanner is a sound financial investment.

AOA LabOrmco’s laboratory arm fabricates custom-ized appliances including class II correctors, aligners, splints, retainers, and more. To help streamline the practice workflow, AOA Lab accepts .stl files from a number of scanners but has a unique integration with Lythos to allow for an even easier submission process.
