SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., USA: The scientific session at AACD 2015 in San Francisco was described by those in the know (aka, the meeting organizers) as “the world’s most comprehensive continuing education opportunity for cosmetic dental professionals.” In the lecture halls, renowned dental educators presented key concepts in clinical cosmetic dentistry, ranging from digital smile design to the ortho-TMJ connection to implementing implant surgery into your practice.

In the exhibit hall, an array of companies showed off their latest and greatest products.

Kerr Corp. unveiled Maxcem Elite, a new and improved resin cement, which boasts an up-to-90-percent higher bond strength to dentin than the previous formula. It features “One-Peel” cleanup, it requires no hand mixing, and there is no need for refrigeration, according to the company.

Kettenbach introduced Visalys Temp, a temporary crown-and-bridge material based on a multifunctional acrylic composite. The company says it is suitable for the fabrication of temporary crowns, partial crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays and veneers, including long-term temporary restorations.

DMG America offered up the new Vitique. It’s a premium, resin-based luting material, developed especially for exacting veneering work and offering high-color stability and outstanding shade reproduction.

The AACD Charitable Foundation’s annual Give Back a Smile (GBAS) silent auction was held, with proceeds going to help survivors of domestic or sexual violence regain their damaged smiles.

The meeting was held May 6-8.
