I'm your host for this week, DPR editorial director Noah Levine and on this week's podcast we'll be covering RAPID ACCESSGUIDE from SICAT, PracticeTek's new Ora practice management solution, Angel Aligners from AngelAlign Technology, Buzzy from Pain Care Labs CandidPro's new mixed dentition support, and ProBiora Professional Strength in Orange from ProBiora Health. So let's jump right in and talk about these latest industry innovations.

Up first, we've got RAPID ACCESSGUIDE from SICAT. This is a new way to do endodontics with a 3D printed guide to make sure that you're going to follow the correct anatomy and really clean out everything in that canal. The system provides a printable endodontic guide file that's based on an AI completed design that can be ready in 20 minutes or less. This can be produced in-office if you've got a 3D printer, and the treatment planning ahead of that is using SICAT's endo software.

Ora from PracticeTek is a new practice management solution that's aimed at the DSO market. This solution is said to be built around using the data gathered from running multiple practices to provide actionable insights that the practices can use to improve efficiency in both clinical and business matters. It's a complete practice management solution with everything from scheduling to patient communications, patient charting, and even integrated customized payment plans.

ProBiora Health is adding orange as a new flavor for their professional strength oral probiotics. The new orange flavor is aimed at adult patients, and just like their original flavor for adults, it features 3 strains of naturally occurring oral bacteria that is said to be beneficial to oral health. According to ProBiora, these probiotics are said to help maintain the balance of your oral microbiome.

CandidPro's clear aligner platform now supports mixed dentition cases. This can be especially ideal for young patients who might require combination airway and aligner therapy. The new indications from CandidPro also include upgraded interproximal reduction support, expanding what this clear aligner platform can do and the number of patients that can be treated with CandidPro clear aligners.

AngelAlign Technology is entering the US market with their Angel Aligner brand of clear aligners. This brand has been around the globe after originating in China many years ago. Their clear aligners are designed to be used for a range of malocclusions and complex orthodontic cases. Their treatment planning software incorporates 3D CBCT data as well as intraoral scan data, and the aligners can be designed to feature attachments and buttons to allow for highly customized orthodontic treatments.

Now FDA-approved for use in dental injections, Buzzy from Pain Care Labs is a really cute pain care device that combines with an icepack to help reduce the pain of dental injections as well as other injections. The device is shaped like a bee and the whole system is designed to both reduce pain and help reduce the fear around dental injections which can prevent people from seeking treatment. The device works by using an M-stim technology that provides mechanical stimulation. Combined with the ice pack, it reduces pain and makes the injection process much less uncomfortable for your patients.
