AADOM RECEIVES EDUCATIONAL GRANT FROM HENRY SCHEIN CARES FOUNDATION

Red Bank, NJ:  February 23, 2015  The American Association of Dental Office Managers (AADOM) is proud to announce that they were again chosen as the recipient of an educational grant from the   

Henry Schein Cares Foundation for the fourth consecutive year. The goal of the grant is for AADOM to produce and deliver education about "going green" to their membership and to the dental community at large. Green dentistry promotes, among other things, reducing waste and using environmentally friendly products. 

AADOM's Vice President Lorie Streeter states, "We're thrilled to continue working with the Henry Schein Cares Foundation. Our members have shown a dedication to positively impacting their communities and AADOM loves to acknowledge those offices. With this grant AADOM is able to provide the education and motivation to help them succeed."

The AADOM "Green Leader Initiative" provides educational content to dental professionals - both virtual and live - through various delivery systems such as published articles, website content, and a private member forum to exchange ideas and best practices. The education is also supported via AADOM's social media. As part of this initiative, AADOM will present the "Green Leader Award" at the 11th Annual Dental Managers Conference this August in Nashville, TN. This award is given to an office manager whose practice exemplifies the utilization of successful green initiatives within their practice. The grant also enables the continuation of a Presentation Portal that allows participants to download all course materials for the conference electronically versus printing and shipping them to the conference. "Our members love the Presentation Portal. We are committed to continuing our tradition of green behavior", states Heather Colicchio, AADOM President and Founder.

Kettenbach launches new product: Visalys® Veneer Chairside – a matter of appearance

-->

                                                                             

Huntington Beach, CA, February 19, 2015 – Visalys^® Veneer Chairside is the latest addition at Kettenbach LP (www.kettenbachusa.com). Visalys^® Veneers are prefabricated, polymerized, radiopaque veneers made of a highly filled hybrid composite. This practical system makes it possible to achieve a high-quality esthetic result in only one session. The product is suitable for cosmetic treatment, as well as for various clinical indications.

Visalys^® Veneer is based on a hybrid composite. After curing the material, the veneer surface is finished in a special plasma hardening process that makes it extremely fracture and abrasion resistant. Veneers and composite share the same chemical composition, making it possible to achieve optimal, long-lasting esthetic results without discoloration.

The new Visalys^® Veneer is minimally invasive and thus suitable for numerous indications: tooth discoloration, anatomical defects, incisal edge extensions, tooth malignment, diastema, attrition/abrasion/erosion, caries, tooth fractures, masking old restorations, and cosmetic corrections. In just one session (1-3 hours, depending on the indication) the dentist can achieve individual, high-quality results immediately after preparation of the teeth. The treatment outcome is immediately visible.

Compare for yourself – the alternative for the practice

Provide your patients with esthetically pleasing, durable results that preserve dental hard substance – without leading to extensive dental technician costs. Costs are further reduced as placement accessories are already found in the practice. This saves both dentist and patient money.

Unlike other materials such as ceramic veneers, the Kettenbach product is not restricted to specific indications that can be used at lower costs with less time and effort. Until now, crowns, ceramic veneers, or freehand modeling materials using complicated layering techniques were considered the method of choice. Visalys^® Veneers are a great alternative and the ideal solution for fast, minimally invasive esthetic results.
