AMD LASERS Picasso line of dental lasers awarded 2015 "Best of Class" Technology Award
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Now in its seventh year, the Pride Institute's "Best of Class" Technology Award continues unparalleled in its integrity and approach to recognizing excellence in dental innovation. In 2015, the Picasso line of soft tissue dental lasers from AMD LASERS is one of those lauded as "Best of Class."
"To be honored as 'Best of Class' is a sign that a product has revolutionized, simplified or advanced its category in a distinctive way," said Dr. Lou Shuman, 'Best of Class' founder. "The manufacturers represented here are driving the conversation for how dental practices will operate today and in the future. The foundation for our success in bringing attention to these products has always been our formula: technology leadership in dentistry, unbiased, and not for profit."
"Best of Class" honorees are chosen by a panel comprised of leading voices in dental technology, who come together each year to discuss, debate and decide what products merit recognition. All technology categories are considered, but if there is no clear differentiator that sets a product apart in its category, then no winner is selected. Panelists who receive compensation from dental companies are prevented from voting in that company's category. Over the years, the panel has developed a rapport that makes space for important conversations about value of different innovations and how evolving categories become more or less valuable to the general dentist. The spirited debate that follows results in a variety of products — obscure and well-known, basic and aspirational — being honored.
"Technology decisions can be expensive and confusing for many doctors. Our job as 'Best of Class' panelists is to eat, sleep, live, breathe and use technology in our general practices in real, everyday dentistry. We also have a chance to show and discuss these products with dental students and colleagues," said Dr. John Flucke, writer, speaker and Technology Editor for Dental Products Report. "This allows us to provide recommendations that a doctor and staff can rely on to make informed decisions regarding their technology purchases."
The panel consists of five dentists with significant knowledge of and experience in dental technology, including Dr. Shuman; Dr. Flucke; Paul Feuerstein, DMD, writer, speaker and Technology Editor for Dentistry Today ; Marty Jablow, DMD, technology writer and consultant for Dr. BiCuspid; and Parag Kachalia, DDS, Vice-Chair of Preclinical Education, Research and Technology, University of Pacific School of Dentistry.
Founder and President – Alan Miller remarks, "I have never been more proud of the Picasso line of dental lasers. Winning the Best in Class award once again solidifies our leadership in soft tissue dental lasers. Year after year Picasso dental lasers dominate the domestic and global dental laser market. Thank you from all of the AMD LASERS Team members. It is so exciting to see our vision of a Picasso dental laser in every dental office around the world get closer and closer. – THANK YOU!" says Miller.
This latest award continues the 6 year winning streak for AMD LASERS Picasso and Picasso Lite. Used for soft tissue surgery, periodontal treatment, laser implant recovery and laser troughing, Picasso dental lasers set the gold standard and are the choice by dentists, universities and dental schools around the world. Quality, value, and support set Picasso dental lasers apart from the competition. This commitment to providing not only the best dental lasers but also the best education, service and support any dental company can provide has given AMD LASERS the winning culture that dentists want to be a part of...
The Pride Institute "Best of Class" Technology awards were launched in 2009 as a new concept to provide an unbiased, non-profit assessment of available technologies in the dental space. Through print and digital media coverage, the "Best of Class" message reaches the community of 150,000 dentists through multiple touch points—in print and online—educating them about the products. AMD LASERS participation in the "Tech Expo" at the American Dental Association's Annual Meeting offers face-to-face interaction with AMD and all of the honorees as well as technology-centered education provided by members of the panel as well as the esteemed consultants of Pride Institute. Courses at last year's 2014 meeting sold out. This year's event will be held November 5-10 in Washington, DC.
