Ankur Gupta, DDS, after completing a 1-year GPR in Cleveland, Ohio, started a practice from scratch in 2005. Armed with what he considered adequate knowledge, hand skills, and a personable demeanor, he watched as his practice floundered, finances became unpredictable, and his lower back and spirit toward life became worrisome. Rather than continue the trend, he made a guinea pig out of his office, family, and self, attempting any and all personal and professional “experiments” in self-improvement. More than a decade later, he enjoys enviable new patient numbers and case acceptance, a solution- oriented dental team, and, most importantly, a meaningful and positive identity. He happily shares the failures and successes with dental and community groups throughout the country, always ending his presentations with practical, implementable, step-by-step ways to be better.

Finally, the latest version of NovoHealth Dental from NovoDynamics uses artificial intelligence to automate the insurance claim verification process. It is designed to detect missing documentation and ensure that anatomical references are visible in the insurance claims prior to submission. The platform assists providers in correcting incomplete claims before payer review. It is capable of automatically recognizing attachment types, distinguishing individual views from full mouth series, identifying and labeling quadrants and teeth, and checking for compliance with payer-specific evidence requirements. It also performs clinical analyses to determine if the evidence meets payment criteria. The platform reportedly results in enhanced productivity, consistency, and cost savings for both payers and providers, leading to faster and more accurate claim decisions.

Product Bites – September 22, 2023

Welcome to Product Bites, a weekly podcast from Dental Products Report providing you with a rundown of recently launched and updated dental technologies, materials, instruments and everything else you might use with patients or while running your practice.

I'm your host for this week DPR Editorial Director Noah Levine, and on this week's podcast, we've got 8 new products to talk about from Neoss Group, Pac-Dent, Align Technology, Weave, Cocofloss, AirPay, and Henry Schein One. So without further ado, let's learn about these 8 new innovations.

Hi, I'm Dr Robert Marus and I just gave an excellent presentation on 

, a simplified unishade composite, which I strongly recommend that you try. It's something that can give you shade matching in the esthetic zone, having 1 shade match 3, and generally speaking, it's going to give you a higher level of esthetics compared to a single-shade composite. It's something that I recommend you try.

It's got great wear strength, polishability, resistance to stain, and natural fluorescence, so it looks extremely esthetic. And if you're interested, you can come to the GC America booth, at 3008 and you can find that and actually try the product there. Thanks so much and have a great meeting!

GNYDM24 Product Focus: Rolando Nunez, DDS, MSc, gives a presentation on zirconia bonding that includes using BISCO products ZirClean and Z-Prime

Hi. My name is Rolando Nunez. I just gave a short presentation on zirconia bonding here at the Greater New York Dental Meeting.

A few takeaways and a few products that I mentioned talked about the mechanical retention and chemical interaction that needs to be done to zirconia in order to properly bond, and we can achieve that by using an MDP containing primer such as Z-Prime. But also, interestingly enough, you need to understand that zirconia can be contaminated by saliva during the try-in process. So, it is important to remove that saliva that hinders the ability of the primer to chemically bond to the zirconia. So, I talked about a zirconia cleaner that we make called ZirClean. So those 2 elements actually provide an optimized process in order to achieve the best bond possible. Again, Z-Prime, an MDP containing primer, and ZirClean, a surface cleaner after try-in, both from BISCO. Thank you.

GNYDM24 Product Focus: Ankur Gupta, DDS, talks about why he likes SDI's Stela dental restorative and what makes the material special

Hi, my name is Ankur Gupta. I'm a general dentist. I've been practicing for 20 years, and even though I feel like you get better over time, which is [the case] with just certain levels of hand skills. [But] they're still like soul crushers in clinical dentistry. Like, let's say I do a filling and I really like how it looked. It looks good in the x-ray. And that patient comes back and says, ‘I can't chew on this side’ or ‘it's sensitive’. It just kills me, because I don't know what I did different. I don't know what I did wrong. And actually, that's what I really like to lecture about.

I like to lecture about what is the technology that exists today that makes it so that we are minimizing the chances of this type of soul crusher happening to us. Now, the product that I talked about at my lecture today is called Stela. It's from SDI, and it's the only restorative product that it's a chemical cure. So, you're not curing it. It's curing at the level of the primer. That means that the cure, the actual pull of energy and the pull of polymers, is towards the margin of your prep, creating the most gap free interfaces possible. There might be other products out there that do this, but I just don't know what they are. This is the one. This is like, where, if I have a deep filling, if I'm worried about being too close to the pulp, this is the stuff that I have to use.
