CHICAGO, IL, USA: The Chicago Dental Society’s Midwinter Meeting, held each year in late February at McCormick Place West, is known for helping dental professionals stay on the cutting edge of new technology and innovation. In addition to the hundreds of products and technologies available for perusal in the exhibit hall, a bevy of educational opportunities await attendees.

At this year’s meeting, the schedule included a wide variety of diverse topics, including dermal fillers, digital photography, internal marketing, nutrition, sales strategies, social media, substance abuse, organizing for success and much more.

Dr. Gary Morris presented “Maxilla vs. Mandible: Implant Treatment of the Edentulous Patient.” Dr. Neil Warshawsky offered “A Clear Approach to Aligner Therapy.” Dr. Michael Ignelzi Jr. presented “Developmental Anomalies, Oral Pathology in Children.” Dr. Jon Suzuki and Dr. Anthony Gargiulo presented “Contemporary Clinical Periodontics.” Kirk Behrendt presented “Marketing to Explode Your New Patient Numbers.” Dr. David Kumamoto offered “Sports Dentistry: Past, Present and Future.” Dr. John Olmsted presented “Which Tooth Is It? Which Rotary File Do I Need?”

In addition, Dr. Jean Furuyama presented “Ortho Tips for the General, Perio, Implant and Cosmetic Dentist.” Dr. Robert Edwab offered “Hands-on Oral Surgery Workshop for General Dentist.” Dr. Michael Oreskovich presented “Stress, Burnout and Substance Abuse Among Dentists.” Dr. Edward Amet presented “Bone Grafting: Simple to Complex.”

Also at this year’s event — the 147th — literally dozens of new, innovative products were unveiled.

Glidewell Laboratories introduced a comprehensive, patient-specific implant treatment all-in-one box, containing an Inclusive tapered implant of choice; surgical drills; custom, patient-specific healing and temporary abutments; and a BioTemps crown.

PerioSciences launched the AO ProVantage family of products, which are well tolerated and sought after by patients with extreme cases of halitosis and oral sensitivity caused by serious conditions such as bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, post oral surgery and cancer treatments.

Ultradent Products expanded its line of cements with a new UltraCem resin-reinforced glass ionomer, and PermaShade LC and UltraTemp REZ temporary and permanent cements.

Carestream Dental introduced five new additions to its intraoral imaging system, intraoral camera and software suites — all designed to streamline workflow and improve doctor-to-patient communication.

Provia Laboratories formally introduced its Store-A-Tooth service to the dental industry. Currently available throughout the United States and in several international markets, the Store-A-Tooth service enables dental professionals to be on the front line of dental stem cell collection and pioneers in regenerative medicine and dentistry.

In addition to the new products, interest was also high in Chicago for many of the dental industry’s “greatest hits.”

At Shofu Dental Corp., lots of dentists were clamoring for the BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus injectable hybrid restorative for all indications.

At ViziLight, meeting attendees were able to sit down for an educational presentation on the popular oral cancer screening device.

For those who seek dental implant training, information on courses and other educational materials was available from Hands on Training. The programs offer participants a gateway to help gain the skills, knowledge and confidence needed in implementing implant procedures into a dental practice.

And at DMG America, interest was high for Icon, which uses micro-invasive technology to fill and reinforce demineralized enamel without drilling, anesthesia or sacrificing healthy tooth structure.

In addition, this year marks 100 years in business for Bosworth Co. Attendees could stop by the company’s booth and pick up a cake pop to help the company celebrate.
