I have been part of the team selecting the Pride Institute award winners since the inception of the awards back in 2009. I believe these awards serve two important functions: they give dentists an idea of what is possible and which products to consider for the practice and they acknowledge and reward vendors who have created superior products to serve the profession. The 2013 winners are:
- 3Shape TRIOS Color
- Action Run
- Align Technology Smart Track
- DEXIS imaging Suite and DEXIS go
- Doxa Ceramir
- Gendex SRT Technology
- Glidewell Laboratories BruxZir Shaded
- HealthFirst Tru-Align
- Imaging Sciences Int’l i-CAT FLX
- Isolite IsoDry
- Kerr Dental SonicFill
- Lexicomp VisualDX Oral
- Liptak Dental DDS Rescue
- Orascoptic XV1
- SciCan STATIM G4
- Sesame Communications Sesame 24-7
- Ultradent VALO
- VELscope Vx
You can get an up close look at each of the winners and hear various people (including me) speak about them at the ADA meeting in New Orleans.
