ATLANTA, Ga., USA: It’s the 104th Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting. Attendees have the opportunity to partake in some of the most valuable continuing education opportunities available in dentistry. The theme this year is “Your Total Health Connection” — a fitting slogan for a meeting offering nearly 250 courses offered by more than 75 speakers, including 27 who are new to the Atlanta meeting.

“Hinman offers an exciting line-up this year of best-in-class continuing education and exhibits that will provide your total health connection for everyone in attendance,” said Dr. Jim Roos, general chairman of the 2016 Hinman Dental Meeting, in a press release announcing the start of the meeting.

“We have assembled truly the best in the profession with a number of speakers new to Hinman, as well as special programs and courses designed to elevate learning for the more than 21,000 dentists and dental professionals who attend our annual meeting,” Roos said.

On the show floor — where many folks were showing off St. Patrick’s Day bling on Thursday — nearly 400 companies are demonstrating the latest dental technology, products, equipment and services. There are plenty of opportunities for dental professionals to shop the floor and get product and equipment questions answered.

Some highlights:

  • DentalVibe is offering technology designed to take the pain out of injections. Those who receive a painless injection are likely to write positively on the Internet about their experience at the dentist. With eight out of 10 patients coming to a dental practice after reading a positive online review, the device is being marketed as a practice builder.
  • Ellman is showcasing its RadioLase 3 and Surgitron Dual RF 120 radiosurgery units, which can be used as an alternative to any procedure. The equipment is designed to offer both precision and versatility.
  • At Nanova Biomaterials, meeting attendees can learn more about NovaPro (flowable) and NovaPro Fill (universal) composites reinforced by nanofibers.
  • Available from Dentrix at the Henry Schein Practice Management Solutions booth is “Increasing Productivity and Case Acceptance,” an eBook by Debra Engelhardt-Nash.

Also on the show floor, table clinics are available to meeting attendees for additional continuing education credits. And new this year is the Total Health Pavilion, featuring lectures on nutrition and health with the opportunity to earn one hour of CE for each hour of attendance.
