Tom Raffio sits down with Myra Nikitas, RDH, CPHDH to discuss the new dental sealant program being offered to Nashua, New Hampshire students through the Greater Nashua Dental Connection.

Maria Pereira Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at TISSIUM, discusses her journey to develop a biocompatible, biodegradable polymer to enable atraumatic surgical procedures for tissue repair. This new polymer technology can be used as a sealant and adhesive to replace the use of tacks and sutures to repair blood vessels, nerve damage, and meshes without the use of any penetrating or traumatic fixation.  Maria explains, "At TISSIUM, we are developing a new core technology, a new material that can be used for a traumatic tissue repair. We are leveraging a material that has been originally developed at MIT. One of the features of this material is that it can be used as a sealant or an adhesive, or even as a resin for 3D printing and drug delivery. And we can apply this material in surgery to enable surgical procedures in an atraumatic way."  "Currently, we're developing products across three main domains, including cardiovascular, where we use the material as a sealant to stop blood leaks during cardiovascular surgery. We're also operating in the space of peripheral nerve repair, where we are developing an atraumatic solution where we can basically bring nerves together without the use of any sutures or other traumatic technologies. The third space where we are currently operating is in hernia repair, where we are using our materials as an adhesive to fix meshes to the abdominal wall, and therefore avoiding the use of tacks that can induce trauma and pain." #TISSIUM #Medtech #MedicalInnovation #TissueRepair #Sealant #Adhesive TISSIUM.com Download the transcript here

This week on The Exit: Dean van Zyl was fired from his first three jobs, and in his own words, “wasn't very hireable”. He turned to entrepreneurship out of necessity, which has led him to start multiple businesses and achieve numerous exits in three different countries. Dean's first successful business grew to such an extent that he couldn't get out. In his own words, he “was the business”, he was too involved in the day-to-day work, and the size of the business meant those who had the funds to acquire it, weren't the type looking to run it. After multiple changes including bringing on a new partner, building up the management team and putting procedures in place, Dean successfully exited. But what took five years could have been achieved in one if the business was better set up for an acquisition from the beginning. Since selling that business Dean has built and exited a number of company's, all of which were designed for exits from the start. Listen to learn more about Dean's experience and his advice for setting up a business with an exit in mind. Dean van Zyl is currently the Founder and CEO of National Adhesive, the fastest growing Sealant & Adhesive company in Northern America. Dean's initial business venture was Founding The Courier Connection, which he developed initially to improve turnaround times for stock from Johannesburg to Swaziland for Swazi Design, his main business at the time. Within a very short period of time it grew to daily line haul deliveries between Johannesburg and Swaziland and eventually he sold it to Triton Express.

The result is...complicated. FEBRUARY 14, 2023 TIM HEMING    For access to all of our training, gear, and race coverage, plus exclusive training plans, FinisherPix photos, event discounts, and GPS apps, sign up for Outside+.   Ever since the Professional Triathletes Organization got some big-money backers and really put down its marker on the sport, one of the key ways to distribute that wealth has been through its rankings system.   Being ranked number one in the PTO system is more than just about ego; it's worth its weight in gold. Last year, Kristian Blummenfelt and Anne Haug scooped $100,000 each as part of the $2 million payout, and the rankings are also used to provide the first four spots for each region in the lucrative Collins Cup, where another $1.5M is forked out in appearance fees. Bear in mind, this is all on top of prize money and sponsorship dollars.   With some hard greenbacks to be fought over, it's little wonder that long course professionals care that the system is fair, and why – after receiving much criticism in its first three years – it's having an overhaul for 2023.   But before we dive into the nitty-gritty of the new rankings, it's worth a quick recap of the old system and why there was a movement for change.   What were the original PTO Rankings? Introduced in 2020, the original rankings took the average points score from a triathlete's best three races over the course of 12 months.   So far, so easy, but all of those super-important points came from a triathlete's finish time [not position] that was held up against something the PTO called an Adjusted Ideal Time (AIT) for each race.   The AIT was based on an algorithm that took in factors such as previous times on the course and how fast the course was on that specific day. Then, a few days after the race, the points would be issued. The AIT target time was worth 100 points. Go faster, you get more. Slower, you score less.   There were a couple of minor tweaks over the system's three-year run, including upweighting certain races, but chiefly it remained the same time-based format.   So, what was the problem? The problems were multiple, but an overriding issue was one of transparency. Triathletes and fans just didn't know – and it wasn't or couldn't be properly explained – how the algorithm worked. Understandably, this led to conspiracies about how the numbers were actually crunched and to much ire if you scored less than you thought you deserved.   USA Triathlon Announces 2023 U.S. Elite Paratriathlon National Team February 14, 2023   11-member team includes six Paralympic triathlon medalists and seven world champions. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – USA Triathlon today announced the 11 members of the 2023 U.S. Elite Paratriathlon National Team, the group of elite paratriathletes who will represent the U.S. at the highest levels of elite paratriathlon competition during the 2023 season, a pivotal year before the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.   Qualification for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games starts this year with the Paralympic qualification period beginning on July 1, 2023.

The 2023 U.S. Elite National Team will be announced next Tuesday, Feb. 21.   What's New in the 303:   The Evolution of the Modern Bike Wheel 303 Cycling | The Evolution of the Bike Wheel Graphics and narrative by: A.V. Schmit   Wheels and tires, wheels and tires, wheels and tires… Seems like on every ride that's all people can talk about these days. So, I thought it might be of value for the 303 Endurance community to write a primer about the evolution of bicycle wheel / tire design.   While it usually makes sense to start most stories from the beginning. I think in this case, it makes more sense to start in the middle, as I would anticipate many readers have never ridden on a tubular tire shod hoop.   303 Cycling | Clincher TireUntil the advent of tubeless road wheels, the dominant standard was the clincher wheel. That consisted of a rim with a “hook” that turned inward toward the center of the wheel, and a tire that had a “bead” reinforced with wire, or in the case of foldable tires, reinforced with Kevlar or other aramid fibers like Vectran.   When a tube is inserted into the tire and mounted on the rim and inflated, the tube presses the bead into the hook of the rim. It is that pressure that holds tire onto the rim. This is what most riders use and have likely ever used.   Now, let's take a step back. Originally, tires and tubes for road bikes were a single unit. You may have heard the term “sew up” in the US or “single” in the UK and Australia. They both refer to a tubular tire.   Essentially, a butyl or latex tube is contained within the casing, usually made from cotton fabric that has the tread bonded to it. Then the casing is sewn together with an additional strip of fabric glued over the seam.   The rim, which has a shallow concave channel, is prepared with a number of layers of specialty tubular adhesive and the interior of the casing of the tire is also coated with a number of additional applications of the same adhesive. Then the tire is stretched over the rim and carefully centered over the channel and left to cure.   303 Cycling | Tubular TireNow, if you are thinking, “what a hassle.” You'd be right, gluing up tubular tires under the best of circumstances is a bit of a smelly mess.   The advantages of tubular tires are they tend to be more supple and lighter than clinchers and can be ridden in an emergency when flat. The disadvantage is a puncture by the side of the road is a most unpleasant experience, even if you have an extra tire with you.   Which is why tubulars are almost exclusively used by racers… as a chase car complete with mechanic and spare wheels is seldom far behind. But even race teams are beginning to embrace tubeless tire / rim combinations — In some case because of sponsor demands and in some cases for budget reasons. Eliminating the need for separate “race” and “training” wheels decreases the number of wheels needed to be maintained by the team's mechanic's staff.   Hookless rim / wheels have been “a thing” in mountain bikes for nearly 10 years, but they are just growing in popularity in the road bike community, especially in gravel applications. A hookless rim is kind of what it sounds like. A rim profile that forgoes the traditional hook of a clincher rim / wheel but that also has “shoulders” that stretch the tire around its circumference to form a seal.   The upside of a hookless rim is that is has shown to be more impervious to impact and it simplifies the construction process, especially in carbon fiber wheels. And according to ZPP, a leading manufacturer of high-performance carbon fiber bike wheels, reduces the cost of manufacturing.   303 Cycling | Tubeless TireWhat that means is that hookless rims are tubeless ONLY. It is NOT RECOMMENDED to use a tube and non-tubeless tire with a hookless rim. They require a tubeless tire that meets specific design criteria and materials.   Generally speaking a tubeless tire is stiffer in the sidewall than a clincher tire, making it less supple. This is because the system depends on the tire stretching over the “shoulders” of the rim, mating the tire with the rim to form an airtight seal.   And, like all tubeless tire / rim combinations, they require sealant and specialty rim tape. The sealant completes the tire system by preventing air from escaping through the pores and small imperfections in the tire. The adhesive-backed rim tape prevents air from escaping through the spoke holes of the rim. Sealant also provides a level of puncture protection by using the tire's internal air pressure to force sealant through small punctures when they occur.   A word about sealant. Most sealants are made of natural or synthetic latex and contain cellulose, rubber particles or organic thickeners and glycol which acts as a liquid carrier for the suspended particles. Most are highly basic, not as in simple, but as in the opposite of acidic on the Ph scale.   When the tire is punctured, the internal air pressure of the tire forces the liquid sealant is through the hole, and a small amount escapes.  When this happens the fibers or small particles build-up at the site of the puncture and intertwine to form a flexible plug. Then a chemical reaction happens that “cures” the rubber and fills the puncture.   At least that's what is supposed to happen. When the puncture is too big, the sealant is old, or there is not enough un-cured sealant in the tire… then not so much.   OK, so that was more than a word.

It's A Tale of Two Hygienists' monthly student roundtable episode, which means Andrew and Michelle have invited a trio of guests to educate student listeners on a chosen topic. This episode's subject is all about sealants: what are the most effective sealing materials? What can they prevent? And when can they prove to be a hazard?   Jason Luchtefeld (previously heard on episodes 64 and 145 of A Tale of Two Hygienists) is a dentist based in Robinson, Illinois who has been practicing for 20 years. Julie Frantsve-Hawley (previously on A Tale of Two Hygienists #68) works with the nonprofit group DentaQuest's Partnership for Oral Health Advancement. Spring Hatfield currently works in a small Alabama practice, having previously been a receptionist and assistant before becoming a dental hygienist.    In this episode, our guests summarize and analyze the readings on sealants they brought to this roundtable, debate the finer points of what counts as permanent or non-permanent restorations, and discuss the dreaded “restorative death spiral.”     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   Interview starts: 3:03   - Jason summarizes the 2017 literature review “The Use of Pit and Fissure Sealants,” which discusses the wide variety of materials utilized in sealants since the procedure began in the 1920s.   - Julie reviews “Barriers to Sealant Guideline Implementation within a Multi-Site Managed Dental Care Practice”—which she actually co-authored—and discusses how pit and fissure sealants can play a key role in “secondary prevention” when applied to non-cavitated carious lesions.   - Spring reviews a randomized clinical trial from last year that tested whether resin-based sealants could prevent non-cavitated carious lesions from progressing.   - What a study on color taught Julie about the power of terminology and puns.   - Why Jason doesn't think there's a significant difference between a permanent restoration and preventative, non-permanent restoration.   - Spring explains what the “restorative death spiral” is.   - Take care to ensure that your patients can see to their basic dental needs at home, even if it means just giving them free toothbrushes.     QUOTES:   “Isolation is critical for the success of sealants.”   “If you have dentists that are claiming sub-optimal skills for placing a sealant, then they shouldn't be placing fillings or crowns.”   “If we don't have these terms and have general consensus on what they mean, that instance in itself is having a barrier!”   “Always be inquisitive and be open to change your mind when faced with evidence.”   “Just because you learned it in school doesn't mean you do it your whole career!”   “ LINKS:   Jason's email: jluchte@hotmail.com    Julie's email: frantsvehawley@gmail.com   Spring's email: springhatfieldrdh@gmail.com Ivoclar Vivadent Helioseal F Plus Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bhA6peh28A&t=12s  Thank you to Paradise Dental Technologies aka PDT for providing sponsorship for this episode!   Be sure to thank the sponsor for this episode by heading over to www.PDTDental.com and picking up a new instrument or telling them thank you in person at one of the conferences!   THIS EPISODE COUNTS FOR CE! - but read the disclaimer below as it might not count for your state.
