A Slice of Hinman

We were fortunate enough to be able to exhibit at the Hinman Dental Meeting in Atlanta this year. We met a lot of great dentists and vendors. There was a lot of energy at this meeting. Here are some photos to give you a taste of Hinman 2007. Click on the photos for a larger, downloadable version. There are only a couple for which I opted not to make a high-resolution version available.

Our team from left to right: Bill Fukui, Jori Taylor, and Jonathan Fashbaugh

Jori, hard at work.

One of our next-door neighbors, Jack Doyle of Ortho Specialties.

Jack's high-quality orthodontic wares.

The lovely ladies, Valerie and Lori of Prevention Laboratories set us up with some great mouthwash and their new burn and wound spray. I used my Prevention mouthwash this morning, Lori. Thank you!

Our neighbors across the street, Nicholas and Carla from Zhermack. They let me play with their new bite registration material.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the names of the members of the 3M team that I met, but they were really good sports about getting their pictures taken.

Jennifer & Rene of 3M ESPE.

The 3M Protemp Crown booth was really impressive.

It was nice to meet Yannick from Lumineers.

I had a great time learning about the Dental Health News newsletter program from Liina.

The guys at Surgitel were glad to show off their equipment.

Snowden from Septodont was apprehensive at first, but eventually let me take her picture. She wasn't the only camera-shy person that I came across either, but she played along. Thanks, Snowden!

Gilbert at Air Techniques also took a little convincing, but once he figured out that I wasn't trying to sell him a Polaroid for $5, he was eager to show me the ScanX and Acclaim USB intraoral camera.

The Colgate booth looked other-worldly.

These guys literally had ray guns at their booth! Many thanks to Richard Jackman and his comrade in arms from Aribex for the cool photo.

Unfortunately, the Invisalign booth was so busy that I never got a chance to meet either of these two gentlemen.

Michael and his friend at the Ultreo booth were kind enough to show off their ultrasound toothbrush. It looks really cool!

Patricia and her friend at the Ultradent booth showed me their equipment in action.

Camera-shyness was a common problem at the Discus Dental booth, but they are all really nice people. Thanks for showing me the Zoom! system and "mini-me" Zoom too.

Thanks to Ted and his colleague at the Panoramic Corporation booth.

The guys at Hager Worldwide preferred a "candid" photo. I think it turned out nicely.

Art and Jamie at DentalEZ Group showed me one of their dental chairs.

Video games for dentists!? I think BOYD Industries may be on to something. Thanks for the fun pic, Ron.

Ray at Bestsole sold me a nice pair of insoles for the convention.

Thanks to Gayle and the team at Axis for the nice group photo.
