Talking Kuraray Noritake at CDA With Joseph Willardsen, DDS https://www.dentistrytoday.com/talking-kuraray-noritake-at-cda-with-joseph-willardsen-dds/ Tue, 04 Jun 2024 14:10:29 +0000 https://www.dentistrytoday.com/?p=115929 A company representative from Kuraray Noritake talks to Dr. Joseph Willardsen about his experience using CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick 2 and MAJESTY ES Flow Universal.

CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick 2 features a proprietary blend of MDP, Amide, and Urethane Tetramethacrylate (UTM) monomers that enables quick and easy application without a separate activation step. This new chemistry allows for immediate bonding to enamel and dentin, eliminating the need for a waiting period. The formulation also creates a thin, uniform adhesive layer that prevents pooling, resulting in stronger and more predictable bond strengths to both enamel and dentin.

CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow Universal features a unique light-diffusion filler matrix that allows a single universal shade to seamlessly blend with a wide range of tooth shades, covering 16 VITA classical shades. This groundbreaking technology mimics the natural light-diffusion properties of tooth structure, enabling restorations to integrate beautifully into the surrounding dentition.

Dr. Anthony Ponzio Interview – 2024 Chicago Midwinter Conference https://www.dentistrytoday.com/dr-anthony-ponzio-interview-2024-chicago-midwinter-conference/ Thu, 30 May 2024 09:50:12 +0000 https://www.dentistrytoday.com/?p=115828 Listen to the recent interview with Dr. Anthony Ponzio, DDS, on why he uses SureSmile Clear Aligners and how he leverages DS Core for a fully digital workflow that benefits his practice and patients.

Treatment planning has never been easier with support from the SureSmile Digital Lab and software that works with most intraoral scanners, including PrimeScan.

Regarding the Digital Lab, Dr. Ponzio said, “A real person is reviewing the treatment plan—it’s human-to-human interaction, not just software.”

Doctors may feel that refinements are just part of supplying clear aligner treatment, but with 3 out of 4 SureSmile patients not needing refinements, SureSmile Clear Aligners provide the predictable results doctors want and patients expect.

“It’s a great system; generally, we see things track really well. We see a lot fewer refinements with SureSmile® than I have with other systems. The way the technology is designed, in the actual aligners, we see fewer attachments and quicker treatment times,” Dr. Ponzio added.

SureSmile Aligners also provide outstanding patient value with the Complete Case option, which includes not only aligners at a flat-rate price but also supplies faster, brighter smiles by including the SureSmile Whitening Kit and the SureSmile VPro High-Frequency Device.*

Dr. Ali Fulreader Interview – 2024 Chicago Midwinter Conference https://www.dentistrytoday.com/dr-ali-fulreader-interview-2024-chicago-midwinter-conference/ Wed, 29 May 2024 09:58:54 +0000 https://www.dentistrytoday.com/?p=115818 Hear from Ali Fulreader, DDS, about why she switched to SureSmile Aligners and the benefits for her practice and patients.

Listen to her views on how SureSmile works with most common intraoral scanners, its history of success with over 1 million patients, and the value of achieving predictable results.

“I found that our tracking is really, really good with the newer technology,” she says.

In a recent 3-year analysis by Dentsply Sirona, 75% of SureSmile aligner patients required no refinements 1. Reducing required refinements could positively impact overall patient satisfaction and dental practice productivity by limiting chair time needed for refinements.

Learn how SureSmile has improved the workflow in her practice and benefited her patients.

“We use the SureSmile Simulator to visualize and show our patients the journey from where they are to where they can be. It is very powerful when the patient can see the actual change from start to finish.”

  1. Based on an analysis of global SureSmile cases conducted between Jan. 2019–December 2021. Data on File.
