Real solutions for real practices

Every industry is interested in finding real solutions, and dentistry is no different. The dental industry must constantly improve its technology to provide the highest standard of care for patients.

BioHorizons has always known this. Since 1994, we have focused on three core values: science, innovation and service. This focus has allowed the company to develop new products and technologies since its beginning. Even with the shutdown caused by COVID-19 in 2020, BioHorizons engineers were busy researching and testing new ideas. Below are just a few solutions we offer for easy integration into any practice.

Efficient, predictable: Guided Restorative Solutions

Allows you to:

  • Increase the speed and precision of implant placement.
  • Immediately temporize the implant to maintain the sulcus and tissue in the position found at the time of extraction.

 

With our subsidiary, Vulcan Custom Dental, BioHorizons offers a complete “case in a box” solution through Guided Restorative Solutions (GRS).

GRS combines the efficiency and predictability of guided surgery with immediate, provisional prosthetics. GRS conveniently delivers everything needed for the case, including BioHorizons implants. Key features include:

Treatment planning by trained clinicians

Authentic BioHorizons implants and components

Fast, five-day turnaround

Custom healing abutments or custom temporary restorations for developing and maintaining tissue position

 

Achieve better esthetic outcomes and fewer restorative visits with Guided Restorative Solutions.

Faster treatment, fewer visits with the Tapered Short Guided Surgery system

Allows you:

To avoid grafting and ridge augmentation when bone volume is limited in the posterior

A more controlled, precise surgical procedure

 

Build on GRS with guided surgery designed specifically for our Tapered Short dental implants. Tapered Short implants can be used as an expedited treatment option when bone volume is limited in the posterior because it allows doctors to avoid grafting and ridge augmentation.

Guided surgery allows for a more controlled and precise surgical procedure by utilizing digitally designed guides to replicate the planned implant placement. Tapered Short guided uses a new keyless design, which further simplifies the workflow for the user.

Tapered Short implants feature aggressive threads, short lengths and proprietary Laser-Lok® surface treatment. The Tapered Short Guided Surgery system features keyless instruments, streamlined workflow, irrigation flutes, freehand and guided use.

Problem: Complex protocols and delayed treatment times are often required for cases that feature limited bone in the posterior. Most implant companies don’t offer guided solutions for short implants.

You'll enjoy:

Treat patients with reduced chair time.

Greater accuracy of implant placement.

Long-term success in cases that were previously a complicated indication.

 

Custom healing solution with iShell

Allows for:

  • A quick, custom healing abutment
  • Better control and shaping of soft tissue during healing
  • A low-cost, chairside workflow

 

Most healing abutments are round, but a patient's sulcus is usually an irregular shape. Stock components don't typically conform well to anatomy, and custom options are high-cost for the abutment and technology required for CAD/CAM.

Key features:

  • Custom healing abutment can be created in less than 10 minutes
  • iShell is designed for specific tooth position
  • Available for anterior and molar sites

 

Conclusion

These three technologies are just three of the ways we allow dentists to provide the highest standard of care for patients. For more on our comprehensive line of solutions, including biologics and prosthetics, visit biohorizons.com/products.

Part 2: Making Sense of Today's Decisions Impacting Tomorrow

In late December, the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (Economic Aid Act or EAA) became law. Although most of the news surrounding the EAA was focused on the Second Draw PPP or stimulus checks, it also brought changes that will impact the Employee Retention Credit and small businesses tax liability in 2020 and 2021.

In this webinar, Stern will education attendees on:

  • The new provisions enhancing the Employee Retention Credit
  • Second draw of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans

We believe that our business is ensuring the health of your business in every way. As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves and healthcare offices begin to reopen, BioHorizons field-based team members are looking forward to seeing you in person soon — and safely. To that end, we have developed the following guidelines for our field team to follow.

 

  • Call ahead: All field-based TMs will contact you in advance of a visit. They will outline the purpose of the visit and ensure that you or your facility manager approve the visit before entering your office.
  • Temperature checks: TMs will take daily temperature checks to ensure they are healthy before visiting your office. In addition, should your facility require a temperature check before visitors enter, they will be happy to participate.
  • Masks during visits: TMs will wear face masks or face coverings at all times in your office. After completing a visit, they will wash their hands or use hand sanitizer before exiting your facility. Our TMs will also practice social distancing.
  • No co-travels: TMs will not co-travel with other industry representatives in their vehicles.
  • Clinical participation: For optimal patient care, we will make our TMs available to be present for critical implant therapy procedures at your request. In addition to following your required safety protocols, our TMs will come prepared with their own PPE, including a mask and face covering.
  • Video calls: As an alternative to an in-person visit, you may request a virtual meeting with our staff. Each of our Territory Managers has the ability to send you and your staff a video link to conduct a virtual meeting.

Many healthcare providers may find telehealth to be an effective method of caring for patients as society recovers from COVID-19. The American Dental Association (ADA) released guidance to help dental practices code and bill for these appointments. Now, the association has updated the Frequently Asked Questions portion of this guidance. In this section, the ADA defines teledentistry and discusses how it can be conducted. Also included are questions and answers about various communications technologies such as Skype and Facebook Live in addition to information about insurance claims.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) currently limits its COVID-19 Telehealth Program to healthcare providers, but the American Dental Association (ADA) wants that to change. The ADA asked the agency to allow dentists entry into the initiative since many dentists face economic hardships with utilizing teledentistry to screen patients because of technology barriers. Screening patients via phone, text or video conference can help health dentists determine if the patient’s issue is an emergency and requires a visit to the office.

The American Dental Association (ADA) encourages dentists to be sure coronavirus diagnostic testing kits have been thoroughly vetted for dentists before using them.

"The testing market is becoming a bit of the Wild West for companies right now," ADA Executive Director Kathy O’Loughlin said in an interview. "There is very little scientific evidence that the tests being marketed to dentists are reliable, so be careful when you see an offer that seems 'too good to be true.'"

"All dentists need a fast point-of-care test that accurately predicts the presence or absence of COVID-19 virus in real time," Dr. O'Loughlin said. "Unfortunately, very few tests have met a high standard for specificity and sensitivity, which means a potential for high rates of false negatives and false positives."

Because many healthcare institutions experience an ongoing shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs), 3M has outlined new CDC guidelines on how to safely reuse the respirators up to five times.

Per the CDC: "The healthcare worker will wear one respirator each day and store it in a breathable paper bag at the end of each shift. The order of FFR use should be repeated with a minimum of five days between each FFR use. This will result in each worker requiring a minimum of five FFRs, providing that they put on, take off, care for them, and store them properly each day. Healthcare workers should treat the FFRs as though they are still contaminated and follow the precautions outlined in our reuse recommendations. If supplies are even more constrained and five respirators are not available for each worker who needs them, FFR decontamination may be necessary."

As states consider loosening restrictions in place that are focused on restricting the spread of the novel coronavirus, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMMS) released Phase 1 of its recommendations to “give healthcare facilities some flexibility in providing essential non-COVID-19 care to patients without symptoms of COVID-19 in regions with low incidence of COVID-19.”

Telehealth is strongly encouraged where possible. CMMS also acknowledges that careful planning is a necessity when considering resuming non-COVID-19 care. Considerations include:

  • Availability of staffing, PPE, testing, facilities and supplies
  • Coordination with state and local public health officials
  • Prioritization of surgical/procedural care and high-complexity chronic disease management
  • Establishment of Non-COVID Care zones

The U.S. CARES Act allocated $349 billion to the Small Business Administration (SBA) to guarantee loans to small businesses, including dental and medical practices, that have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Also included are provisions to help small businesses keep workers employed during the economic downturn. Known as the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the initiative provides 100% federally guaranteed loans to small businesses.

The PPP is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. The SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest or utilities (may be subject to other conditions). Loan payments will be deferred for six months. No collateral or personal guarantees are required. Neither the government nor lenders will charge small businesses any fees.

Use Henry Schein’s PPP loan calculator.

The loans offer:

  • Forgiveness of up to eight weeks of payroll based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels
  • No SBA fees
  • Loan payments will be deferred for six months
  • The loan will be fully forgiven if the funds are used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent and utilities (due to likely high subscription, at least 75% of the forgiven amount must have been used for payroll)
  • This loan has a maturity of two years and an interest rate of 1%

Doctors' offices around the world on high alert for signs of the new coronavirus. Here's a quick refresher on what to look out for.
The CDC criteria for patients under investigation (PUI) for COVID-19 include one of the following scenarios.

Scenario 1:

  • Fever (subjective or confirmed) OR signs / symptoms of lower respiratory tract illness (e.g., cough, shortness of breath) AND
  • Any person, including health care workers, who has had close contact with a laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patient within 14 days of symptom onset

    Scenario 2:
  • Fever AND
  • Signs / symptoms of lower respiratory illness AND
  • A history of travel from an affected geographic area within 14 days of symptom onset

    Scenario 3:
  • Fever with severe acute lower respiratory illness (e.g., pneumonia, ARDS) requiring hospitalization and without an alternative explanatory diagnosis (e.g., influenza) AND
  • No source of exposure has been identified

Note: Fever may not be present in some patients, such as those who are very young, elderly, immunosuppressed, or taking certain fever-lowering medications. Clinical judgment should be used.

If you suspect the patient has COVID-19, immediately contact your local health department. Sanitize anything with which the patient came in contact.

COVID-19 update

Dear Valued Customers,
Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen the world take numerous measures in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19. It is increasingly evident that social distancing and other efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus will persist longer than anticipated.

The dental industry, in particular, has been significantly affected by recommendations from organizations such as the American Dental Association (ADA) that no non-emergency dental procedures should be completed until further notice. This includes routine dental procedures such as: initial or periodic oral examinations, cleanings, asymptomatic teeth extractions and esthetic procedures.

We understand the stress created by office closings and related uncertainty since no one is sure how long these measures will remain in place. As such, we are pleased to provide the following resources to assist you in responding to the challenges with which COVID-19 presents our industry:

We continue to operate with most team members working from home but are shipping products per usual, and our U.S. production facilities are operating at full capacity. We will provide weekly updates to keep you informed of our activities so we all can make it through this crisis together. Please do not hesitate to contact me, your Territory Manager or Customer Care if you require any assistance. We sincerely hope that all of you, your friends and loved ones remain safe during this unprecedented time and that our world comes together to move past the challenges we currently face.

Coronavirus protection for your team and patients

ProEdge provides a list of COVID-19 State by State Recommendations Regarding Dental Care statements made by state dental associations regarding the need to limit or postpone dental care due to the spread of COVID-19.

Putting public health first: Coronavirus Q&A with Dr. Brittany Seymour

Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM) conducted a Q&A with Dr. Brittany Seymour, an associate professor and global health discipline director at HSDM. She recently shared her thoughts on the spread of the virus as well as the spread of misinformation.

How teledentistry can help during coronavirus pandemic.

It is crucial that dental health care providers provide the essential care necessary to their patients and communities through teledentistry, writes Dr. James Anderson in DrBicuspid.

Coronavirus protection for your team and patients

With the current Coronavirus pandemic, it's important to protect yourself, your team, and your patients. This is also an important time to communicate to your patients the plan for your office. Are you temporarily closing? Are you remaining open? And if you are staying open, you need to reassure them that your office is a safe place to visit.

Here are some things I will be doing in my office during this time, and that I suggest you do as well:

  • Encourage patients and staff to wash their hands frequently. Have hand sanitizer dispensers located throughout the office to make it more convenient for staff and patients to use.
  • If you use iPads or tablets for patient paperwork, be sure to sanitize them with a disinfectant wipe between each patient. It's important for patients to see you do this, as it will reassure them that you office is taking necessary precautions to protect their health.
  • I also like to wipe down my office's computer keyboards, each computer mouse, and the telephones frequently. This is something I normally do on a regular basis anyway because these are areas the entire team tends to touch.
  • Consider removing magazines and newspapers from the lobby as these tend to be handled by many people and could be contaminated. Also, if you have toys in your lobby for children, consider removing them during this time.
  • Using Dentrix Communication Manager, you can create email newsletters. This is a good way to communicate with your patients. You can communicate with them if your office is open, closed, or is changing office hours.
  • Email newsletters are also a good way to reassure your patients that your office takes their health and safety seriously. Explain to them that your team will (as always) be using universal precautions such as wearing gloves and masks, as well as being diligent with hand washing and the disinfecting of common areas.
  • For your patients' confidence, have your clinical staff open sterilization packs in front of the patient in the operatory. This will help to reassure the patient that everything in your office is clean and sterile.
  • And finally, if a team member isn't feeling well, make them stay home! Don't risk the health of other team members or your patients.

Stay healthy and safe! If you have questions, email me at vectordentalconsulting@gmail.com.

Are you still seeing patients?
Here are some tips on what your staff should say during the COVID-19 pandemic

No matter the procedures they need, every patient is likely concerned about visiting a healthcare provider's office. Communication is key to ensuring your patients remain committed to your practice during and after the pandemic. Your staff members can use the following suggested scripts and talking points when communicating with patients about COVID-19 concerns.

Appointment Confirmation: Confirming patient appointments presents an opportunity for assuring patients of your practice's dedication to cleanliness guidelines and for an informal screening to help ensure sick patients do not arrive at the practice.

If patient answers:
Good morning/afternoon, [insert patient name], this is Dr. ____'s office confirming your appointment for [insert date and time].

  • We are getting everything ready for your appointment, which includes taking additional precautions with our cleaning routines to keep you safe during the coronavirus disease outbreak. We are also conducting patient screenings before and during appointments, which includes asking additional health questions and taking your temperature.
  • How have you been feeling? Within the last 14 days, have you experienced a fever? Cough? Shortness of breath? Do you have any concerns to share with the doctor before your visit?

    [If patient describes flu-like or COVID-19 symptoms]
  • I hope you feel better soon. Why don't we reschedule your appointment for a later date?
    [Reschedule appointment at one month later to ensure two weeks have passed after their symptoms end.]

If leaving a recorded message/recording automated message:
"Good morning/afternoon, [insert patient name]. This is Dr. ____'s office confirming your appointment for [insert date and time].

  • To protect our patients and staff during the new coronavirus outbreak, we are taking additional precautions to keep you safe. This includes being more aggressive with daily cleaning in the waiting and clinical areas. If you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, coughing, shortness of breath or body aches, please reschedule your appointment for at least two weeks after your symptoms end. You will not be charged a cancellation fee for any appointments canceled due to illness until further notice. We are monitoring the situation at the national and local levels, and we will keep you updated with any changes.

If confirming an appointment rescheduled due to illness and patient answers:

  • I know we rescheduled your last appointment because you were feeling ill. How have you been feeling? Within the last 14 days, have you experienced a fever? Cough? Shortness of breath? Do you have any concerns to share with the doctor before your visit?

    [If patient describes flu-like or COVID-19 symptoms]
    I hope you feel better soon. Why don’t we reschedule your appointment for a later date?
    [Reschedule appointment at one month later to ensure two weeks have passed after their symptoms end.]

If confirming an appointment reschedule due to illness and leaving recording message:
"Good morning/afternoon, [insert patient name]. This is Dr. ____'s office confirming your appointment for [insert date and time].

  • To protect our patients and staff, we are taking additional precautions during the coronavirus outbreak. This includes being more aggressive with daily cleaning in the waiting and clinical areas. If you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, coughing, shortness of breath or body aches, please reschedule your appointment at least two weeks after your symptoms end. You will not be charged a cancellation fee for any appointments canceled due to illness until further notice. We are monitoring the situation at the national and local levels, and we will keep you updated with any changes.

In the office – Consider screening patients upon arrival by taking their temperature and asking if they have experienced fever, cough, shortness of breath or body aches. Attempt to screen them before they sit down in the chair. {Some practices are doing curbside or parking lot screening to reduce exposure to other patients}. If they have a fever, reschedule the appointment and sanitize anything they came in contact with. Consider mentioning this in your phone calls so they won’t be surprised by this additional step.

In waiting area (have a nurse stationed to assist with patient check in):
Good morning/afternoon, how have you been feeling? Within the last 14 days, have you experienced a fever? Cough? Shortness of breath? Let's go ahead and take your temperature. Do you have any concerns to share with the doctor before your visit?

  • [If patient appears ill]
    • Be empathetic. "Are you feeling okay?"
      • If they mention they have experienced symptoms or if they have a temperature, ask them to reschedule their appointment with no penalty.

Appointment follow-up – Patients may be contagious before they present with symptoms. These patients may be harder to track down. Use patient follow-up to find out if they were satisfied with their appointment and to check on their coronavirus status.

If patient answers:
Good morning/afternoon, this is Dr. _____'s office following up on your appointment with us on [insert date/time].

  • Was everything to your satisfaction? [pause for response] How are you feeling? Have you experienced any fever, cough, shortness of breath or body aches since leaving our office?

[If they have experienced symptoms]

  • I hope you feel better soon. Have you visited a doctor about your symptoms? What did they say?

[If no symptoms]

  • Wonderful. We look forward to seeing you next time. Have a great day!

If leaving a message/automated system:
"Good morning/afternoon, [insert patient name]. This is Dr. ____'s office confirming your appointment for [insert date and time].

  • We hope everything was to your satisfaction. Since leaving our office, if you have experienced any fever, cough, shortness of breath or body aches, or been diagnosed with any illness by a doctor, please call our office back at xxx.xxx.xxxx and let us know so we can keep our patients and staff safe. We look forward to seeing you next time. Have a great day!

Talking points to help you answer potential questions before, during and after appointments

  • Are you cleaning the office more than usual? Has the waiting room been cleaned lately]
    • Before the outbreak began, we cleaned our waiting area every night. Now, we're even cleaning it through out the day and paying special attention to wiping down chairs, armrests, and the coffee station and other things patients frequently touch.
      *This could change practice by practice. Please adjust according to your unique cleaning practices.
  • Have any of your patients tested positive for the coronavirus?
    • If you have had a positive case: "We did have a positive case, and the office has been thoroughly disinfected, local health authorities contacted and we are following their guidelines, and other patients alerted who visited on the same day."
    • If you have not had a positive case: We have not. We are screening each patient before treating them. If anyone tests positive for the virus in our office, we will follow WHO guidelines, which could include entering quarantine.
  • Do any of your staff members have the virus? Are any of them sick?
    • No staff member presently in the office is ill and, as a rule, if a staff member is ever ill, we require that individual to stay home, in keeping with WHO guidelines. Now, we’re being especially careful and recommending that anyone with fever, cough, shortness of breath or body aches and chills sees their doctor as soon as possible and stays home for the WHO-recommended time, which could be up to 14 days after symptoms subside.
  • My kids are sick, but I'm not. Can I still come in? OR I'm sick but my kids aren't, and they have an appointment.
    • Out of an abundance of caution to protect the welfare of patients and staff, we would prefer to reschedule your and/or your children's appointments. Thanks so much for your understanding. When are you available in one month?
  • How do you know what's going on?
    • We are monitoring the situation locally and nationally. We will strictly follow WHO guidelines to keep you and our employees healthy.

If your office must close because of local outbreaks or other WHO guidance, let patients know via email, social and phone calls.
Automated message:

Good morning/afternoon, this is Dr. ____'s office.

  • We are calling to let you know that due to local outbreaks of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, our office will close until [insert date], at which point we will look at the local situation and evaluate reopening or extending our closure. Thank you for patience and understanding. We hope you and your family and friends stay healthy and safe during this outbreak.

Additional recommendations:

  • Quarantine cities and towns may require additional or altered talking points and actions. WHO guidance should be considered to supercede these recommendations.
  • Recommend adding sign to door: PLEASE STOP. To protect everyone’s health, please do not enter this office if you are experiencing fever, cough, shortness of breath or body aches. You will not be charged for missed appointments due to illness. Simply call the main office number [XXX.XXXX] to reschedule. Stay healthy and safe!
  • Recommend no cancellation penalties due to any illness until further notice.
  • Include COVID-19 screening questionnaires as part of paperwork to be filled out in waiting area. Ensure the questionnaire meets all HIPAA requirements.
  • Remove pens from office so patients are encouraged to use their own. Provide one if asked.
  • Remove magazines and toys from the waiting area. If patients ask why, let them know it's to prevent the spread of germs during the outbreak. The toys and reading materials will be sanitized and returned once it's safe to do so.
  • Spread out the chairs or remove some so they are farther apart.
  • Recommend doctors send email and social media messages that outline more aggressive cleaning methods during the outbreak.
  • If a patient asks whether the doctor can spare any masks for personal use, recommend replying as follows: I'm sorry, but at the urging of the WHO, protective masks are only for use by health care professionals and those who are ill or caring for the ill.

For additional guidance, consult the World Health Organization World Health Organization and the Henry Schein Education Center

General messaging for the COVID-19 pandemic

Tips and messaging guides to help patients understand your COVID-19 policy and reschedule their appointments:

COVID-19 has forced us to change how we conduct our daily business and even how we interact with each other. During times of uncertainty, it's critical we have a plan to effectively communicate with our patients to help deal with any disruption to their dental care schedules, while continuing to provide a quality patient experience.

Below are some best practices for using your patient communication tools to send messages that ease patient concerns, clarify your COVID-19 policy, provide dental care information, and reschedule appointments for when your practice is ready. Also included are sample messages to help you communicate practice closure and reopening.

Steps for properly communicating to patients during a crisis:

  1. Establish your office’s COVID-19 policy utilizing national, state, and local board guidelines.
  2. Ensure the proper team members have access the office's Practice Management and Patient Communication software remotely and securely. Reach out to the manufacturer’s support team if you need help.
  3. Notify patients regarding a closure, limited hours, or special precautions using your communication tool's mass email communication feature.
  4. Disable or modify reminders and confirmation communications (email, text, voice, etc.).
  5. Disable or block ability for patients to book appointments online during a closure or limited hours.
  6. Add copy to your website and social media pages regarding your COVID-19 policy, closure, precautions, or limited hours.
  7. Add contact information and policy for dental emergencies to your website, voice mail, emails, social media pages, etc.
  8. Quickly notify patients that are already scheduled for appointments of office closure or limited hours utilizing a Notify All Scheduled Patients email or text messaging feature of your communication service
  9. Utilize Two-Way texting feature for communicating one on one with scheduled patients regarding closure or limited hours.
  10. Ensure team members can continue performing collection-related tasks (insurance management, billing, payment posting, etc.)
  11. Ensure you have a team member monitoring the phone and/or returning phone calls to patients.

COVID-19 update

Estimados clientes,
En el transcurso de las últimas semanas, hemos visto al mundo tomar una serie de medidas en un esfuerzo para contener la propagación del COVID-19. Es cada vez más evidente que el distanciamiento social y otras medidas para mitigar la propagación del virus, perdurarán más de lo anticipado.

La industria dental, en particular, ha sido significativamente afectada por recomendaciones de organizaciones tales como Ministerio de Salud de Chile, sobre la postergación de tratamientos dentales que no sean emergencias. Tales como examinaciones iniciales o rutinarias, limpiezas dentales, extracciones asintomáticas y procedimientos estéticos.

Entendemos el estrés generado por el cierre de oficinas y la consecuente incertidumbre ya que nadie está seguro sobre cuánto tiempo permanecerán vigentes estas medidas. Es por esto por lo que estamos complacidos con poner a disposición los siguientes recursos para asistirlo en responder los desafíos que el COVID-19 nos presenta en nuestra industria:

  • Página web dedicada a nuestra respuesta al nuevo coronavirus, que incluye recursos para ayudar a los clínicos profesionales a manejar la crisis COVID-19, como mensajes en forma de guiones para ayudar a sus empleados a comunicarse con los pacientes.
  • Plan de formación cínica virtual en conjunto con la Oral Reconstruction Foundation

Continuamos operando con todos los miembros de nuestro equipo trabajando desde sus hogares, sin poder realizar despachos por el momento debido a la cuarentena aplicada por las autoridades pertinentes. Nuestras instalaciones de producción en USA están operando a su completa capacidad. Estaremos entregando actualizaciones semanales para mantenerlo informado de nuestras actividades de forma de que todos podamos atravesar juntos esta crisis.

Favor no dude en contactarse conmigo, con su ejecutivo de ventas o con servicio al cliente si requiere cualquier tipo de asistencia. Sinceramente esperamos que todos ustedes, sus amigos y seres queridos se mantengan seguros durante este escenario sin precedentes y que nuestro mundo se una para atravesar los desafíos que enfrentamos actualmente.

Atentamente,

La industria dental en particular se ha visto significativamente afectada por las recomendaciones de la SECRETARIA DE SALUD , asi como de su órgano principal de apoyo: INSTITUTO MEXICANO DEL SEGURO SOCIAL de evitar realizar actividades de contacto.

Asi mismo se han recibido notificaciones de diversos centros de tratamientos dentales, consultorios y universidades , que permanecerán cerradas , a menos que no sean de emergencia , ciertos casos , hasta nuevo aviso.

  • Estamos siguiendo las pautas y recomendaciones indicadas por la SSA, Secretaria de Salubridad y Asistencia , dando seguimiento a la Jornada de Sana Distancia implementada desde el pasado Lunes 16 marzo de 2020 y de las indicaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud.

  • Plan de formación cínica virtual en conjunto con la Oral Reconstuction Foundation

Dear Valued Customers,

Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen the world take numerous measures in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19. It is increasingly evident that social distancing and other efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus will persist longer than anticipated.

The dental industry, in particular, has been significantly affected by recommendations from organizations such as the British Dental Association (BDA) that no non-emergency dental procedures should be completed until further notice. This includes routine dental procedures such as: initial or periodic oral examinations, cleanings, asymptomatic teeth extractions and esthetic procedures.

We understand the stress created by office closings and related uncertainty since no one is sure how long these measures will remain in place. As such, we are pleased to provide the following resources to assist you in responding to the challenges with which COVID-19 presents our industry:

  • Web page dedicated to our response to the novel coronavirus, including resources to help doctors handle the COVID-19 crisis, such as messaging in the form of scripts to help your employees communicate with patients
  • Virtual clinical learning curriculum in conjunction with the Oral Reconstruction Foundation
  • Closing your practice or reducing workload to emergency treatments only? Unsure of the options you have regarding your staff? Then read the Henry Schein UK NEW Practice Closure Checklist for advice and information, including:
    • How to utilise the Government furlough scheme.
    • When to consider redundancies.
    • How to select which staff to furlough.
    • Reducing hours for proportionate-pay.

We continue to operate with most team members working from home but are shipping products per usual, and our U.S. production facilities are operating at full capacity. We will provide weekly updates to keep you informed of our activities so we all can make it through this crisis together.

Please do not hesitate to contact me, your Territory Manager or Customer Care if you require any assistance. We sincerely hope that all of you, your friends and loved ones remain safe during this unprecedented time and that our world comes together to move past the challenges we currently face.

Best regards,

Eric Suter
Director Sales, Western Europe

BioHorizons Camlog Italia partecipa con grande senso di responsabilità al severo stato di emergenza sociale e sanitaria in atto nel nostro paese.

Con l’intento e il desiderio di essere, sempre comunque, al fianco dei nostri clienti e nel rispetto della salvaguardia della salute di ogni collaboratore, sono state recepite tutte le raccomandazioni ed adottati tutti gli accorgimenti previsti in termini di redistribuzione degli spazi e turni di lavoro.

Sarà quindi garantito, nelle prossime settimane, un presidio minimo dell’operatività del Customer Service presso la nostra sede centrale, al fine di assicurare la gestione degli approvvigionamenti necessari e delle urgenze. Per gli altri reparti è stata prevista, in ottemperanza con l’ultimo decreto in vigore, la modalità di lavoro in smartworking. Garantiamo supporto commerciale, scientifico e tecnico prediligendo contatti telefonici o digitali.

Stiamo inoltre sviluppando un fitto programma di formazione a distanza per tenerci costantemente in contatto ed in aggiornamento con tutti i nostri clienti.

Tutto lo staff di BioHorizons Camlog Italia è al vostro fianco per offrirvi, come e più di sempre, il massimo del supporto, del servizio e della qualità.

Stretti nel comune abbraccio, sostegno e ringraziamento a tutti i nostri operatori sanitari, ci uniamo al loro appello:
