Top Game Changers of 2022
Here is a look at what Lou Shuman, DMD, CAGS, considers the top dental industry impacts for 2022.
Thinking about the topics and products that were game changers this year is a humbling and awe-inspiring experience. Visionaries in the dental community change the way we practice and the quality of care that we can offer our patients. Some, like the Bien-Air Nova and 3Shape TRIOS 5, have been Best of Class winners for many years, continually impressing my expert panel of dental professionals. Others are debuting on the scene and are sure to make processes more precise and accurate.
Nobio Infinix
Nobio's Infinix line of advanced restorative materials is also a multiple Best of Class award winner. With Nobio's QASi antimicrobial technology integrated into the resin matrix, this updated composite is designed to help reduce demineralization and prevent recurrent decay. The ingredients contain an antibacterial molecule built into the resin matrix, killing bacteria that come into contact with it. A recent article in JADA by the esteemed John D.B. Featherstone noted that “QASi particles in composite restorations significantly reduce demineralization in enamel adjacent to these restorations.”1 He continued, “The addition of the QASi particles to the Infinix™ [range of products] reduces demineralization, which is part of the caries-formation process.”
