TRINIA® Interview at IDS 2015

Hi. I’m doctor Chris Salierno. I’m the chief editor of dental economics, I’m here at the IDS in Cologne 2015. I’m here with our friend, doctor Vincent Morgan, who’s the president of Bicon. Now you guys just had a big reveal at this show. Tell me about it. We did. We introduced TRINIA, which is a fiber reinforced CAD/CAM resin material, which is too good to be true. And you know what your mother said when something was too good to be true, it can’t be. Well, it is. It will replace all metal in dentistry, and it is so superior to the other materials such as zirconia or PEEK. And to believe it, you’ll have to use it. So I have been doing some full arch cases for years now, and I’ve used acrylic to metal, the hybrid prosthesis. I’ve used porcelain on top of metal, and these are fraught with complications, chipping metal, fracturing acrylic, and they can be a real pain. So this material, much easier to repair. It’s incredibly forgiving in the sense that it can be repaired and if need be modified either the day of insertion or two, three years later. We only have some five years of experience with it, but the experience to date is exceptional. And this can be repaired in office by the dentist with composite. It’s fantastic. That’s great. And it’s so light. To compare it to other materials, it is significantly lighter. But the key is the forgivingness. It’s repairable, and the accuracy exceeds anything of chrome cobalt or metal. This could be the material I’ve been looking for. I think it is. Fantastic. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
