It all began with a dancing dentist. Harold Berk danced his way through life, excelling at every step. Whether chairside or on the dance floor, his feet were always tapping. As he would often remind us: “Of all the dancers, I was the best dentist, and of all the dentists, I was the best martini maker.”

arold Berk was born to Lithuanian immigrants in 1917. He was raised in Dubuque, Iowa in the days of Mississippi River boats, horse drawn apple carts, and three-scoop nickel ice cream cones. Harold’s older sister, Rose, was a choreographer and promoter, and he danced professionally with her troupe from the time he was a child. But Harold had another passion. Ever since he was just 11 years old, Harold knew he wanted to be a dentist. So sister Rose lost her leading man, and Harold entered Northwestern University Dental School at the age of 19. At Northwestern, Harold became interested in research...

Introducing Crysta, the next generation of bioactive technology is the trade name for a newly patented methacrylate-functionalized calcium phosphate molecule that is stabilized in a highly active transitional state. When incorporated into composite resins, Crysta facilitates remineralization of damaged tooth structure and delivers top-tier esthetics. In short, Crysta is the first of its kind. This technology creates new possibilities for bioactive materials and will be instrumental in Pulpdent's product development in the years ahead.

CRYSTA’S MECHANISM OF AC TION The Crysta molecule is in search of calcium. It attracts calcium in the saliva, binds to calcium on the teeth, and can precipitate calcium phosphate from the oral environment, sealing the material-tooth interface. HOW CRYSTA BENEFITS PATIENTS WHY CRYSTA IS IMPORTANT FOR DENTISTRY Composites enriched with Crysta deliver calcium, phosphate, and fluoride, which supports remineralization and helps protect against microleakage, sensitivity, secondary caries, and restoration failure. IS MY RESTORATIVE PROCEDURE THE SAME? Crysta merges restorative and preventive dentistry....

ACTIVA™ Presto Universal stackable composite Product Overview ACTIVA Presto is a versatile, highly esthetic, bioactive composite indicated for all classes of cavities and load-bearing applications. Its stackable, low-flow viscosity ensures superior handling and accurate placement, even in difficult to reach areas. ACTIVA Presto bioactively seals margins to help defend against secondary caries. Learn more & dealer purchase link Exquisite form and function The soft tissues respond beautifully to Activa Presto. The material preforms remarkably well, even when placed sub-gingivally, thanks to the...

M E R G I N G R E S T O R AT I V E A N D P R E V E N T I V E D E N T I S T R Y ACTIVA Presto helps transition dentistry from a passive repair model intended to do no harm to an active approach using dynamic restorative materials. Pulpdent’s bioactive materials support remineralization and help protect against microleakage, sensitivity, secondary caries, and restoration failure. Conservative dentistry − Preserves tooth structure Using Activa Presto in this case, I was able to preserve tooth structure and avoid a crown. The stackable, low-flow viscosity was perfect for building up the walls and...

Cosmetic dentistry − Smile zone esthetics Our patients expect an esthetic result in the smile zone, and Activa Presto delivered in this case. The cosmetic repair looks totally natural and blends perfectly with the dentition. The low-flow viscosity of the material made for easy placement and contouring, and the mineralization potential should seal the margins against staining. This anterior tooth is beautifully restored with ACTIVA Presto. Shades can be overlapped, swirled together, and blended for a natural esthetic. Access for a conservative restoration – Minimally invasive Activa Presto’s stackable,...

MCP technology: What it is and how it benefits patients John Comisi, DDS, MAGD MCP: Mineralization Potential Dentists have recently been introduced to a new development in restorative dentistry— methacrylate-functionalized calcium phosphate (MCP) technology. MCP is a bio-interactive molecule that can help support remineralization of compromised teeth and act as a precursor for nucleation sites for apatite formation at the material-tooth interface. The patented MCP technology goes under the tradename Crysta. MCP is the first technology that enables the singlebarrel syringe application of a bio-interactive...
