VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada: The thousands of feet of aisles in the Pacific Dental Conference Exhibit Hall abounded with “educated-shopper” opportunities that otherwise would be impossible to create on your own. The product demonstrations, hands-on testing and other in-person chances to directly assess the latest in dental products and services seemed limitless at the recent Pacific Dental Congress.

Here are a few examples a quick tour of the exhibit floor revealed.

U.S. Regional Product Manager Joe Andrasko was in the Carestream Dental booth, providing live presentations on CS Solutions, Carestream’s comprehensive system of tools and resources that simplifies and improves efficiencies with restorations — with single-visit scanning, designing and milling — in-house or with your lab.

In the OCO Biomedical booth, Victor Bianchi was showing visitors how easy it is using just hot water to custom fit the Larell One Step Denture. He said the denture system is a perfect match with OCO Biomedical’s immediate-loading implantology on small-diameter implants, which takes only an hour. The resulting breakthrough: chairside dentures on implants in just two hours. “It’s a match made in heaven,” Bianchi said. “It adds business to your practice and serves your anatomically and financially compromised patients.”

In the Patterson Dental booth, there were numerous products being demonstrated, including the Iveri whitening system, which is exclusively distributed by Patterson. You’re invited to give it a try to confirm for yourself that there is no sensitivity; it achieves two to eight shades of whitening, and it takes just 20 minutes.

At the Blue Apple Health booth, in just 20 minutes, you could get a complimentary and potentially life-saving health screening with complete biometrics, including blood work that is sent to the prestigious Cleveland Heart Lab. A full report using the lab’s proprietary early detection technology was sent to attendees within two weeks.

At National Dental, Annette Tindall, with Zeiss, was helping attendees test out the Cinema ProMED, powered by the Zeiss cinemizer OLED. The 3-D multimedia video glasses can help reduce anxiety in your patients and improve their overall experience visiting your practice.
