DS INSIGHT | Issue 02 2018

Contents

A lot has happened across the MeNA region since we launched iNsiGHT back in september. We kicked off the start ofAutumn with an incredible two day event in Dubai - Dentsply sirona Desert Fest. We welcomed 6 speakers from allaround the globe to deliver free of charge education and hands-on training, allowing attendees to learn about a widerange of topics including digital impression taking, root-to-crown and digital integrated implantology. We also, for thefirst time, showcased with dedicated Dentsply sirona booths at the Moroccan Dental Meeting that took place inMarrakech in October and the Pan Arab meeting that took place in Cairo in December – it was a real pleasure for us toget closer to our customers in Morocco and egypt and give them an opportunity to meet some of our wonderful teamwho are devoted to the MeNA region. During the past few months we have also been busy launching some excitingnew products. in November we held our Astra Tech implant system® eV launch with the help of Dr. Fernando Rojaswho ran incredible introductory trainings for our customers in uAe. We also continued the launch of Celtra® Duo inuAe with an evening of education from Dr. Mohamed Hassenien in November and we finally got to run our first Celtra®Press launch trainings in Tunisia, Jordan and uAe – you can read more about all of our major events on pages 22-25. inDecember we welcomed Prof. simone Grandini back to uAe to continue our celebration of the Class ii procedure at anextremely special event at the Roxy Cinema in Dubai. 80 customers joined us to hear more about why the Class iiprocedure shouldn’t be ignored and to learn about tips, tricks and protocols to get the most out of this procedure. Theevening was continued with live demos and fun with our Dentsply sirona photo booth and finished with a privateviewing of the movie The Mountain Between us – you can read more about it on page 20.

if our first edition of iNsiGHT celebrated the Class ii procedure then our second celebrates the magic of CeReC. in thisedition you can read all about how there is more to CeReC than just offering patients single visit dentistry. On pages4-5 you can meet our dedicated service engineers who are on hand across the MeNA region to partner with our CeReCand equipment users, offering direct technical support and service, to enable them to focus on delivering improvedpatient outcomes. CeReC undoubtedly represents outstanding innovation and technology, but for many, there is theassumption that this is partnered with extremely high operating costs. On page 12-13 you can read about how efficientCeReC really is, and if you’re still not convinced, you can discover how Dr. Roze Dental Clinic in Dubai is working withour CeReC technology on pages 14-15.

i hope you enjoy reading our second edition of iNsiGHT and thank you for your continued support towards Dentsplysirona.

Product News

As we discovered in our first issue of iNsiGHT, understanding consumer attitudes towards dentistsand dentistry can be a very useful tool when trying to increase production, profitability and yourcustomer base. Below you will find some more major findings from the Futuredontics® dental patientsurvey and the overall summary.

DS INSIGHT | Issue 02 2018

What Dental Patients Want

of the patients wesurveyed solicitpersonalrecommendationsfrom family, friendsand co-workerswhen they search fora new dentist.

84%

of patients find theirdentist throughonline searchengines like Google,Bing and Yahoo.

55%

While much has changed in the dental profession over the past 20 years, one thing has remained constant:The importance of word-of-mouth referrals. These offer dentistry’s most cost-effective source of new patients.in addition to this, it’s essential to provide a remarkable patient experience as word-of-mouth is the primaryfactor behind up to 50% of all purchase decisions. Customers referred by other customers have a 37% higherretention rate; people are 4 times more likely to remain a customer when referred by a friend; and finallyreferred customers are 25% more profitable.

Patients Want Referrals FromFriends and Family5

Recommendations

The most effective way to generate referrals is to be a dental practiceworth recommending. Pay attention to the details that matter most topatients, including accepting a broad array of insurance plans, leveragingyour positive reviews, providing advanced technology treatment options,etc. Other recommendations include:• Ask for referrals.• Consider a reward plan such as offering a ‘Thank You’.• Personally thank everyone who makes a referral.

of patients reportbeing “very toextremely satisfied”with their currentdentist nationally.

82%

The number one reason patients switch dentists is due to poor quality of work. Nearly half, 46% of respondents,would leave a practice over this. The next most important is insurance - 41% of patients will be heading for thedoor if you stop accepting their plan. Other factors include unfriendly staff, location, poor dentist chairsidemanner, availability of appointments and loss of trust. in light of this therefore, in order to retain your clientbase and ensure stability and continuity you must focus on keeping your patients happy.

Patients Want To see Your Reviews7Recommendations

The majority of factors that cause patients to switch dentists are withinthe direct control of the practice and are customer service orperformance related. Make sure your patient satisfaction levels remainhigh with the help of the following:• Participate in a carefully curated selection of insurance plans.• invest in your team and look at patient/dentist clinical and interpersonal

interactions.• Focus on improving patient convenience factors like office hours and

ease of scheduling.• invest in dental technology that improves the patient’s comfort and

convenience.

summaryA strong online presence is essential for patient acquisition. six of the top ten sources patients use to finddentists are web based – the most influential online source being search engines. However there is also a risein alternate online sources, including insurance lists, online directories, review sites, dental referral companywebsites, and social media.

Patients Want To see You Onlinein The spaces They use The Most6

Recommendations

it is essential that you establish a positive, patient-friendly presence inthe online spaces patients use most. Key steps to take are the following:• Optimise your website for seO and mobile search.• standardise your directory listings for maximum seO.• Create a branded profile on Facebook and update postings daily.• integrate social media into your website.

Practice Management

The findings of the Futuredontics® dental patient survey offer dental offices a practical guidefor improving patient acquisition and retention. As this report illustrates, accommodating yourpatients’ insurance requirements should be a primary concern of your practice.

Today’s patients also expect a greater degree of convenience and comfort from dentists ineverything from appointments to advanced treatment technology. Again, it is critical that youare proactive in addressing these issues.

Finally, patient reviews, word-of-mouth referrals and a strong online presence govern the growthof today’s dental practices. it is essential to leverage these patient acquisition opportunitieswhenever and wherever possible. Dentists who are prepared to implement changes to align tothese recommendations have an exceptional opportunity to grow their practices.

introductionAnterior single-tooth restorations can place high demands in terms of treatment skills and dental materials.The challenge above involved adapting the tooth as precisely as possible to the adjacent teeth, requiring ahighly rational procedure, a high level of craftsmanship, and excellent materials. Light, shade, shape, andthe three-dimensional appearance had to be imitated in a natural way.

ConclusionThe patient case presented here shows the great potential of the interaction of the zirconia-reinforced lithiumsilicate (ZLs) Celtra® Press (in this case used as a framework material), and the low-fusing, leucite-reinforcedfeldspathic material Celtra® Ceram veneering ceramics.

The special microstructure of Celtra® Press, its 3-point bending strength of more than 500 MPa and its biaxialstrength of more than 700 MPa, coupled by a fine crystalline structure and a high proportion of glass, lended theframework excellent optical properties. The symbiosis of translucency and opalescence provided by Celtra® Pressalso allowed a surprisingly natural chameleon effect in the case shown, an ideal shade basis for the highly delicateveneer.

The cut-back framework, which had been reduced only in the vestibular area, was veneered with incisal ceramicsonly. Thanks to its excellent material properties, Celtra® Ceram exhibits no shrinkage, so that the aesthetic goalwas achieved in just a few steps, maximising efficiency. The prepared tooth, framework, and ceramic veneerpresent a harmonious interplay of shades. The “anterior single crown” challenge was mastered perfectly withouta complex ceramic build-up.

Product in Focus

Case Study UsingThe Celtra® Press SystemRehabilitation of a Single Anterior Tooth

AbstractPatient: 39-year-old patient with a fractured ceramic crown on her upper leftlateral incisor.

The Challenge:

The fractured crown was to be replaced as quickly as possible by along-lasting and aesthetic restoration.

The Treatment: Minimum repreparation of the tooth and an impression using theputty/wash technique. A Celtra® Press crown framework wasfabricated and individually veneered with Celtra® Ceram at the dentallaboratory. The new crown exhibited an impressive fit and greataesthetics.

Single Visit Dentistry:Solving Dentists’ Needssuccessful dentists are business thinkers and doers. They invest to achieve their treatment goal in the best waypossible, thereby also increasing the cost effectiveness of their practice. They also meet patients’ needs usingmodern treatment methods and, in doing so, secure their competitiveness. Many of these dentists rely on CeReC.

We decided to ask four dentists what is most important to them in daily practice, to see how CeReC can aid themand become the perfect partner for clinical success.

CeReC

The Need

it's important to me that the practice is successful in thelong termsuccess today does not guarantee success tomorrow. iam aware that i have to make investments andsafeguard the capacity of my practice and my practicelaboratory. in this regard, i want to be convinced that iam using future-proof technologies.

Modern dentistry requires a practice with modernequipment – but it has to make sense financiallyFor all our passion for the job and the desire to continueimproving the treatments we give our patients,purchasing modern equipment for the practice and theassociated practice laboratory is an investment that hasto pay for itself and yield a profit.

CeReC solving The Need

a single-visit dentistry is valuable to patients: 50%of patients are prepared to pay more, two-thirdswould consider traveling further, and another two-thirds of patients would even change their dentist.85% of patients want single-visit dentistry. WithCeReC you meet this need.

aYou have full quality control of the whole process,from scanning to completed restoration leading toclinically reliable results and no expensivesurprises.

aCeReC increases your profits as you manufacturein-house!

aCeReC allows you to expand your range ofindications: restorations, implantology, andorthodontics – equipping you for the future.

The Need

Patients want to know they are being treated withmodern methodsPatients react positively when they sense that theirdentist is moving with the times, especially in this digitalage.

The design of a practice creates more than just an initialimpressionPatients feel at ease in a stylish environment and aremuch more open to treatment proposals, particularly ofan aesthetic nature. The design influences the successof the practice.

My patients should be able to trust me in every respectTrust is created when they can be sure that my manualskills are combined with the latest technology.

CeReC solving The Need

a CeReC represents modern dentistry. CeReCtreatment will more than meet your patients’expectations of modern treatment and increasestrust.

aset yourself apart from the competition withCeReC. Other dentists in your area also carry outgood work. CeReC and the associated patientbenefits as well as the other options give it itsunique selling point.

aWith CeReC you will be considered an innovative,modern, and advanced dentist.

2. A Modern Practice

1. Cost effective Work

The Need

Patients should enjoy going to the dentistThese days it is rare that my patients only come to mewhen they are in pain. They come for check-ups,prophylaxis appointments, and for aesthetic problems.

My patients should feel at ease – this is important to mein my practicein order to make the treatment as comfortable aspossible for my patients, i invest in modern practicefittings: comfortable chairs, soothing music during thetreatment or in the waiting room, gentle anesthetic, andtreatment methods that minimise stress for ourpatients.

CeReC solving The Need

a Give your patients a more comfortable treatmentwith CeReC. The digital impressions replace theuncomfortable tray impression, annoyingtemporaries can be avoided, and your patient isgiven anesthetic only once.

aWith CeReC you can optimally integrate yourpatients into the treatment. Digital planning of therestoration allows the patient to see what willbeing done, thereby creating transparency. Thepatient can also watch you grind/mill the plannedrestoration.

3. Focus on the Patient

The Need

Work with skill in a small spaceWorking with manual dexterity in a space as small asthe oral cavity is something of an art. it is verychallenging but exciting and i enjoy it.

Further develop your manual dexterityDentistry is changing – new materials, new methods,changing patient needs. Continuously exploring andimproving my own skills keeps my job exciting.

i value the diversity in my jobevery patient is different and presents the dentist withdifferent tasks. it is good to know if you can give asuitable (treatment) answer to almost every question.it is up to you to keep this up by continuously addingto your treatment spectrum.

4. enjoy The Craftsmanship

¹ exevia GmbH – German dental patient survey, November 2015.source: https://www1.dentsplysirona.com/en/solutions/topics/single-visit-dentistry-with-cerec

CeReC solving The Need

a With CeReC, you can increase the craftsmanshipof your work, making it all the more enjoyable.This enjoyment carries over to your practice andyour patients.

ashowcase your own skills in prosthetics. WithCeReC, you are responsible for the quality of yourresults.

aexpand the range of indications with CeReC, forexample, in implantology. With CeReC you canscan, design, mill, and place implants all in a singlevisit. You can map the entire implantology processin your practice and place implants on your own.

Dr. Hubert - Dr. Roze and Associates Dental Clinic, Dubai.

Dr. Roze and Associates Dental Clinic is located in Jumeriah 3, Dubai. Theclinic comprises of predominately Dentsply sirona equipment as part oftheir commitment to offer the best possible service to their patients, withCAD/CAM technology at the heart of their practice. Dr. Hubert has beenworking at Dr. Roze for 4 years, specialising in CeReC. We caught up withhim to find out how CeReC has benefited his workflow, his patients andthe practice.

Q. Please briefly explain your background in digitaldentistry.

A. My university in the south of France, Montpellierfirst introduced me to digital dentistry. They had aCeReC BlueCam machine which they allowedstudents to practice on and discover the workflow. Assoon as i used this machine, i believed that CAD/CAMtechnology would be the future of dentistry – andnow it’s everywhere! in order to stay relevant in themarket, you have to keep up-to-date with the latesttechnology otherwise you will fall behind yourcompetitors. We want to offer our patients the best,and CeReC is the best.

Q. Why did you choose CeReC over otherCAD/CAM systems?

A. i chose CeReC naturally as this is what we had atthe university and were taught with. But even when ihad the chance to discover other systems, i felt morecomfortable with the CeReC workflow. everything isso smooth, well synced, and works well together. sowhy would we need to use a different system otherthan CeReC?

For me, CeReC is like the iPhone – it’s the leader in itsindustry. This is because of the quality and theintuitive relationship that the customer has with theCeReC machine.

A Dentsply SironaPredominant PracticeCEREC and Single-Visit Dentistry

interview

Q. Can you explain your experience with the support youreceive from Dentsply sirona?

A. We have strong support from Dentsply sirona from A-Z. Ourclinic is actually predominately Dentsply sirona - treatmentchairs, imaging units, CeReC, and consumables.

Our service engineers and our CAD/CAM consumables salesrepresentative Joseph Magdy really help to ensure a smoothand easy life with CeReC.

Q. How do you find the CeReC workflow?

A. Honestly it’s perfect. it does take more time than the regularprocess - for one restoration it can take around an hour and ahalf, or two hours if its highly aesthetic. But the end result isworth it – i’m happier as i deliver a better result and the patientis happier as everything is completed within a single session.

Q. What are the types of cases you do with CeReC?

A. everyone in our practice uses the Omnicam for scanning theteeth, especially our 2 orthodontists. some are not comfortablewith milling or shading and glazing, but i spent a lot of timeusing it in the past so i’m comfortable with the wholeprocedure. i mainly do single restorations, because for onerestoration you have to anticipate at least an hour maybe morewith the patient. everyone is using the Omnicam at the clinic,from our general dentist with the single visit restorations, to our2 orthodontic specialists scanning the arches for the invisalign®1

cases or for creating in-house immediate digital surgical guideswith our 2 surgeons.

"For me, CEREC is like the iPhone – it’s theleader in its industry."

DS INSIGHT | Issue 02 2018

Q. What would you say are the advantages to yourworkflow and the practice by using CeReC?

A. it changes your way of working definitely. if youdon’t have the CAD/CAM technology in house,usually you see one patient every 30 minutes butnow with the CeReC i have fewer patients butbigger sessions. so i can take more time to perfectmy work and have less stress - no patients waitingin the waiting room. At the end of the day it’sbeneficial to everyone.

Q. How has CeReC, and single-visit dentistry,affected the satisfaction of your patients?

it’s very good as the patient sees the wholeprocess from start to finish, even the chairsideworkings. it’s nice to share what we are doing withthe patients when they are in the chair, they loveit. They enjoy seeing the milling machine working– this is why we keep it in the patient waiting roomso they can take pictures!

By doing everything in one session we avoid usingmultiple anesthesia and temporary crowns. Wealso get more accuracy with digital impressions asCeReC trains us to do good prep. Aesthetically, wecan achieve a better colour by working chairsidewith the patient. if i use a lab, i have to sendpictures to my technician – the quality of thepictures is never as good as in real life.

Q. in your opinion, can you achieve a high returnon investment with CeReC?

A. i am not involved directly in the figures but iknow that there are 6 doctors here using theequipment – 2 orthodontists and 4 generaldentists. There is a huge demand for anotherOmnicam machine now! in terms of the full CeReCsystem, i know that in the long term we ourreducing our lab costs overall.

Q. What would you say was your goal with CeReC,and would you say you have achieved this yet?

A. First and foremost my goal was to deliver highlyaesthetically pleasing restorations to my patients.i have only reached my goal because of CeReC.When i work with the labs either in France or Dubaithere is always something that needs changingwith the restorations. With the CeReC machine itallows us to design the tooth ourselves, so we cancreate the shape, colour and details that we want.There’s no comparison – why send the work to thelab who doesn’t know how we work or what wewant!

introductionAs a practicing endodontist and a clinical endodontic educator for more than 30 years, the most frequent question i am askedabout technique is: “is it predictable?” While every dentist wants his or her endodontic treatment to be easier, more efficient, simpler,and profitable, in the end, it is predictability that trumps all considerations.

When i am asked the question “rotary vs reciprocation: how do i choose?” my answer is “rotary and reciprocation,” because thepredictability of both methods is similar; they are just different in sequence, purpose, and motion. This article should help to explainthese 3 critical distinctions of rotary vs reciprocation so that the clinician is aware of these differences, understands his or heroptions, and makes the best choice for his or her particular practice and patient needs. it is an invitation to be self-educated aboutyour best way to produce endodontic preparations that can be easily obturated.

The Greatest Variablein all of dentistry, the greatest variable is always the clinician. While product and operatory infrastructure play a significant role,the answer to rotary vs reciprocation depends mostly on technique, and technique depends on the clinician’s skill, care, andjudgment.

Q: How Do i Choose?A: Take the ChallengeHere is a simple and revealing test for each clinician to determine his or her own preferred “rotary vs reciprocation” choice. speakto your local Dentsply sirona sales representative and explain to them that you want to do this “challenge” test: Purchase enoughrotary files (ProTaper Next® or ProTaper Gold™) and enough reciprocation files (WaveOne® Gold) to treat 10 endodontic patientswith rotary and 10 endodontic patients with reciprocation. You could treat every other patient alternately with rotary andreciprocation, or you could treat 10 patients in a row with rotary and then 10 with reciprocation. Reverse the order if you prefer. Youcan use this same telltale test for comparison with your current preferred system. Take good notes about what worked and did notwork. Your answer for rotary vs reciprocation will be right in front of you!

Closing Commentsusing predictability as your critical benchmark distinction, your own testing will reveal your best choice of “rotary vs reciprocation.”The result: clinical confidence, consistency, and control. The marketplace has actually already answered the question of rotary vsreciprocation. The market’s answer: “rotary and reciprocation.” Those clinicians who have done their own in-house, controlledhomework and testing will be happy with their answers. Now it’s your turn!

Shapers follow the “Brush and Follow (deeper), Brush and Follow,Brush and Follow” motion, to length. The Shaper file is only removedif the file bogs down with dentin shavings.

Once the Shapers have reached desired length, the Finishersprepare the final shape. The Finisher’s motion is in reverse order ofthe Shapers, “Follow and Brush (coronally), Follow and Brush,Follow and Brush” to the desired preparation physiologic terminuslength. Fit the ProTaper Gold™ cone or verifier to confirm the shape.

Purpose

Motion

Reciprocation “Crown-down” concept e.g. WaveOne® Gold system uses a single file, toproduce a similar predictable conefit shape.

Only the Red (Primary) file is used in a multipass sequence.

The Primary W1G (which has similar external geometries to PTG F2) cuts theentire length of the radicular preparation using a multipass technique.

The “crown-down” approach with a single file is asking that single file to dothe work of 2 or more files. The motion is simple and similar to the RotaryFinishers in “Follow and Brush, Follow and Brush, Follow and Brush” to length.

The big difference, however, is that with each “Follow and Brush,” or “pass,”the Reciprocation file should be removed to avoid blockage, and cleaned ofdentin filings. The canal should be irrigated, patency should be confirmed withthe No. 10 manual file, and the canal should be irrigated again. Then proceedwith “pass” No. 2 and so on until preparation physiologic terminus length isreached. Fit the WaveOne® Gold cone or Verifier to confirm the shape.

The Concept for Class II RestorationDelicate Preparation, Rapid Procedure andReliable Results

by Dr. Arzu Tuna and Dr. Umut Baysal, Attendorn, Germany.

Composite restorations have always been an attractive option. They provide aesthetic, tooth-coloured restorations and allow for minimal invasive treatments that preserve as much naturaltooth substrate as possible. Thanks to advancements in material properties (universal adhesives,bulk fill composites, aesthetic composites), composite restorations are continuously getting morereliable and convenient. All-in-one treatment solutions (e.g. Dentsply sirona’s Class ii solution™)further increase convenience and efficiency, as the following patient case illustrates.

The "Class ii solution™" represents a safe and rapid complete system, true to the motto "Class ii– everything from a single source". As such, major success and high levels of patient satisfactioncan be achieved in daily routine.

Case PresentationThe 23-year-old male patient came for a routine examination. Followinga visual examination, in order to rule out proximal caries, bite wing imageswere made from both sides. The radiological assessment of tooth 15confirmed the clinical diagnosis which, on the basis of a distal opacity ontooth 15, suggested a carious lesion and resulted in lucency up to themiddle of the dentin (Fig. 1). The logical therapeutic step was a minimallyinvasive restoration. After being provided with visual and oral information,the patient agreed to the treatment.

The next steps are self-evident: A delicate preparation which sacrificesthe minimum amount of healthy tooth substance as possible (Fig. 2). Anexcellent adaptation and a well-shaped anatomical marginal ridge wereaccomplished using the sectional matrix system, Palodent® V3. The matrixand wedge were applied safely by simply using the associated forceps.The wedge was inserted as far as it would go to ensure a good marginalseal and an adequate contact point. The interproximal distance wasdetermined perfectly using the ring to result in good cervical adaptation(Fig. 3).

The cavity was then etched with 36% phosphoric acid, starting in theenamel area (approx. 20 to 30 seconds) with the areas close to the pulpconditioned for the shortest amount of time (approx. 10 to 15 seconds)(Fig. 4). A suitable amount of bonding agent, Prime&Bond universal™,was applied into the cavity, creating a homogeneous adhesive layer,which was air-dried and light cured. Prime&Bond universal™ with thepatented Active Guard™ Technology is versatile in use for all etchingtechniques and indications. The good balance between hydrophobic andhydrophilic properties ensures an ideal surface tension and thus facilitatesthe active, complete penetration and coverage of the cavity surfaces.

Class ii Clinical Case

Following polymerisation of the adhesive layer, the cavity had a glossy appearance and the filling could beplaced (Fig. 7). The cervical margin of the cavity was lined with sDR® Plus, which is easily achieved due to themetal application tip (Fig. 8). This section was finally polymerised (at least 20 seconds) to produce a gap-freecervical seal. in the next step, the cavity was restored in one go using ceram.x® sphereTeC™ (Fig. 9). ceram.x®sphereTeC™ is a nano-ceramic, light-curing, radiopaque universal composite based on the innovative sphereTeCfiller technology with granulated spherical fillers in combination with an optimised resin base for direct andindirect restorations. The material is characterised by a pleasant consistency and excellent modeling propertiestogether with first-rate stability. The so-called CLOuD concept covers the entire ViTA®1 Classical system withjust five shades. The good colour adaptation of the filling to the adjacent teeth is down to the pronouncedchameleon effect.

Discussion and Conclusionin this patient case, the combination of an anatomically shaped matrix system, a homogeneous, and easy tocreate adhesive layer, an excellent cervical adaptation and well-adapted and aesthetic occlusal layer, lead to anexcellent final restoration. The check-up two days later demonstrated perfect colour match and a barely visiblefilling – to the great satisfaction of the patient (Fig. 10).

in terms of handling, the universal composite used is particularly worth mentioning. This product offers a uniquecombination of good modeling properties and excellent consistency.

The advances made in adhesive technology have also played a key role in establishing composite fillings as anessential part of everyday routine. universal adhesives that combine the three treatment options (etch&rinse,self-etch, selective enamel etching) have further spurred this development; and in some cases go even further,offering additional benefits like active moisture control and active spreading in the cavity.

Overall, the patient case demonstrates just how efficient, safe and reliable posterior tooth fillings can be created– particularly if all the components are combined into a complete system for Class ii restorations.
