ANAHEIM, Calif., USA: The exhibit hall floor at CDA Presents The Art and Science of Dentistry has long been a preferred venue for dental companies to launch new products, and this year is no exception. A stroll through the exhibit hall reveals a number of “new” and “just released” signs and labels in many of the booths.

According to meeting organizers, this year’s event features nearly 100 new product launches, enabling dentists to keep pace with many of the latest trends in the industry. In the 135,000-square-foot exhibit hall, it was easy to find new products and services around every corner.

Some of the highlights specifically identified by meeting organizers:

The new Isovac by Isolite Systems. The device attaches to the Isolite Mouthpiece, creating a system that holds the patient’s mouth open, retracts the tongue, delivers plenty of light and provides continuous hands-free vacuum suctions throughout the procedure.
PureLife Dental has free samples of its new BioBibs, an eco-friendly dental bib that comes in a variety of colors, contains 100-percent recycled paper, has recycled packaging — and is biodegradable. The company says the price is comparable to that of regular bibs.
In the Sterngold booth, meeting attendees can ask about the new SFI Bar Implant Abutments, which the company describes as “an innovative bar solution for removable dentures on 2-6 implants in both upper and lower jaws.” The SFI Bar is compatible with most popular implant systems. It features a manageable number of prefabricated system components enabling accurately fitting bar restorations to be quickly fabricated for almost any clinical situation.
Generating a lot of interest in the Shofu Dental Corp. booth is the EyeSpecial C-II Digital Dental Camera. Shofu describes the camera as being the only one on the market designed specifically for dentistry. It features eight pre-set dental shooting modes, a lightweight body design and a water-and-chemical-resistant outer surface. According to the company, the camera’s “intuitive one-touch operations make for fast, easy and consistent images every time.”
In the Air Techniques booth, it’s worth getting a quick demonstration of the ScanX Swift chairside digital radiography system. The system’s phosphor sensors enable dentists to capture “up to 38 percent more imaging area,” according to the company. The thin, flexible, cordless sensor makes digital radiography just like film for positioning and patient comfort — and delivers chairside images in “nine seconds or less,” according to the company.
Also available is the just-released WWE singing toothbrush featuring John Cena and The Rock — and their respective theme songs. The brush has a two-button design featuring one song for the morning and one for the evening. Also capturing attention in the booth is the brush called “Bling,” which really needs to be seen — because it can’t really be described.

This is just a taste of the many new offerings. There’s plenty more “new and improved” in every aisle.
