The presentation addressed tooth preparation for adhesively-retained, direct-bonded composite restorations, new endodontic technology and opportunities to integrate new business concepts to help both the office and patient in a downturned economy, and more. Attendees earned 12 C.E. credit hours while enjoying the sun and sand of Hawaii. Even the local wildlife benefitted from Ultradent’s visit: Above, on a break from the day’s schedule, a quick periodontal cleaning courtesy of Scout, Fischer’s granddaughter, set this dolphin back on course for a great oral health check-up!

Manager Julia Wehkamp j.wehkamp@dental-tribune.com f ET page 1B the best way to make human iPS cells. In a related study, Huang regenerated two major human tooth components — dental pulp and dentin — for the first time in a mouse experimental model. The mouse was used to supply nutrition for human tissue regeneration. Using tissue engineering, researchers saw empty root canal space fill with pulp-like tissue with ample blood supplies. Dentin-like tissue regrew on the dentinal wall. “The finding will revolutionize endodontic and dental clinical practice by helping to preserve teeth,” Huang said. The studies, iPS cells reprogrammed from mesenchymal-like stem/progenitor cells of dental tissue origin and Stem/progenitor cell–mediated de novo regeneration of dental pulp with newly deposited continuous layer of dentin in an in vivo model, appear in “Stem AD Cells and Development” and “Tissue Engineering.” ET (Source: Boston University Henry M.
