Ultrasonic Scalers
Dental technology is growing and changing faster all the time. Ultrasonic periodontal therapy is a longstanding technology, its effectiveness well-rooted in research. Recently, there have been many new advances that make these powerful tools even more efficient at getting the job done. Many come with a boost mode to get at the toughest calculus and stain. Separate reservoirs with antibacterial solutions instead of waterlines help to thoroughly clean the deepest periodontal pockets. For the operator, ergonomic handles, light systems, and direct connections to your delivery system make for an easier work day. Find some of the newer entries to the market below, and start changing the way you practice.

Treating Bad Breath With New Products
Treating halitosis has always been somewhat of an enigma in dentistry. Where does bad breath come from? Any reasonable dentist will tell you it comes from periodontal disease. We tell patients their buildup of plaque and calculus causes the breakdown of their periodontium. The bacteria then exponentially reproduce in the periodontal pockets, which makes the problem worse until it finally causes an obnoxious smell that we call halitosis. We put the patient through the regimen of prophylaxis, scaling and root planing, and even some periodontal surgery if necessary. Many times this does take care of the problem. However, after going through the periodontal protocol, if the problem of bad breath persists, we would once again put them through another scaling and root planing procedure, and insist they are not practicing good oral hygiene. We think, “if you, the patient, were practicing good oral hygiene, then bad breath would not be a problem.”

The Scientific Program for “Frontiers of Pediatric Dentistry” will be structured around Plenary presentations from a panel of invited national and international experts followed by multi-stream concurrent sessions featuring invited free oral presentations each day plus poster sessions.

Interactive workshops have been developed to promote greater audience participation and communication with the speakers, rather than the traditional lecture format. Our international panel of speakers look forward to sharing and exploring current ideas and also bringing together the breadth of experience represented by our worldwide membership.
