It was another big CDA Presents Dental Art & Science conference held recently at the Anaheim Convention Center, a 3-day showcase of networking, hands-on experiences, education, and a host of exclusive dental products and services.
The California Dental Association (CDA) 2025 Annual Meeting featured more than 130 new and returning speakers sharing their experiences and actionable strategies to build a successful dental career.
The Annual Meeting featured more than 180 sessions and over 450 exhibitors, including Dentistry Today. The Dentistry Today team not only manned the booth from May 15-17, but also engaged with many vendors on the show floor and spoke with speakers about the latest dental products and clinical advances.
Bien-Air Dental attracted a lot of traffic throughout the show, showcasing its line of electric handpieces, including the popular CA NOVA 1:5 L MS angled attachment and iOptima solutions.
The company also introduced its new vibrating proximal repositioning (IPR) handpiece, the Smart IPR. The system comes with eight Smart Disks (22mm diameter) in four different sizes, ranging from 0.1mm to 0.4mm.
Orthodontist Michael Florman demonstrated the safety of the disks in the mouth and around the lips, and the effectiveness of the oscillating handle for IPR.
Robert Randolph, DDS, demonstrated the NopoGuard sharps safety device designed to prevent needlestick injuries.
NopoGuard is the perfect recap and disposal solution for the safety of clinicians and their teams. It is the only reusable syringe needle safety device that works with existing syringes and needles.
Haleon launched its new Pronamel Clinical Enamel Strength Deep Clean toothpaste at CDA. The new toothpaste is formulated to deliver 50% more fluoride to the surface of tooth enamel to repair, strengthen and protect tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay.
Haleon said Sensodyne Pronamel Clinical Enamel Strength Deep Clean toothpaste, with its dual foaming system and micro-polishing capabilities, repaired 66% of micro-damage in acid-softened enamel for lifelong health.
The OrthoFX team was busy in Anaheim showing attendees their full line of clear aligners, including AirFlex, FXBright and FXClear aligners.
Sheila Tan and Ren Menon spoke with Dentistry Today about the many features of aligners and how advances in materials are making it possible to achieve good results even with shorter wear times for certain aligners.
Designed to enhance predictability and improve patient compliance, the AirFlex solution is the first FDA-cleared aligner designed to be worn continuously for at least 9-12 hours. Its shorter wear time is designed to enhance comfort and improve compliance.
FXBright aligners offer immediate comfort with a translucent material that makes teeth appear whiter and straighter. FXClear aligners are designed to be worn longer and are part of the OrthoFX family, which is designed to provide a solution for every patient.
