Podcasts about Digital dentistry

Come join us at the Jensen Dental (https://jensendental.com/) booth during the FDLA Southern States Symposium & Expo (https://www.fdla.net/attendee-information) - June 13-14 at Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek in Orlando, FL Register today at: FDLA.NET Back in March, Barb & Elvis traveled all the way to Cologne, Germany to set up and record at the biggest dental show in the world, IDS (https://www.english.ids-cologne.de/). A special thanks to exocad (https://exocad.com/) for giving us the space to record so many amazing people over the course of 4 days. First up is a dentist turned exocad (https://exocad.com/) designer, Hajir Shamil. Hajir talks about dentistry in Iraq and how she went to school just outside of Russia. Going back to a country that is hard to find a practice, she goes about working at a lab and falls in love with the "purple program". Find out what she thinks of her first time at IDS and why she came. Then we chat with Daniel Portal and Gerson Prada. Daniel has a history of working with (https://exocad.com/) but eventually opened his own lab doing only designs for labs and dentists. He partnered up with Gerson Prada in Utah to do any fabricating of the cases. Together they talk about working together from a far, good communication with the doctors, Daniel being a part of exocad's "Heroes of Digital Dentistry", and what they are doing at IDS. Then we wrap up the episode with a dentist that more letters after his name than in it, Dr. Diogo Viegas. Dr. Viegas went to the Lisbon Dental School (https://www.ulisboa.pt/en/curso/mestrado-integrado/dentistry) to become a dentist. When that wasn't enough, we got his Masters. When that wasn't enough, we went back to get his degree in dental technology. Now, Dr. Viegas has a practice in Lisbon, does his own lab work, still having time to teach other clinicians, and being a member in Bio-Emulation (https://bio-emulation.com/). Take it from Laura Prosser, the digital marketing manager for Ivoclar North America (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us). She would like to invite you to start following them on Instagram. It's your chance to obtain exclusive updates on product announcements, industry news, upcoming educational events, and heartwarming stories about our local team and industry professionals. Let's get social together. Simply start following us on Instagram @Ivoclar.na (https://www.instagram.com/ivoclar.na/). We'll see you there. Special Guests: Daniel Portal, Dr. Diogo Viegas, Gerson Prada, and Hajir Shamil.

Should You Invest in Chairside Milling or 3D Printing? How do milling and printing compare in durability and cost? Which option provides the best long-term ROI for your workflow? In this deep dive, Dr. Rustom Moopen shares his experience with CEREC, ExoCAD, and in-house fabrication, breaking down the real benefits and limitations of both technologies. From restoration strength to efficiency and investment costs, this episode unpacks what every dentist needs to know before taking the leap into milling, printing, and CAD/CAM workflows. https://youtu.be/fgQnrDfXnqI Watch PDP224 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Achieving the same effect (of the ‘Soft Clamp' by Kerr) with a metal clamp without requiring a potentially painful palatal injection - Dr. Jo Cape (Protruserati) suggests using a cotton bud to apply topical anesthetic to the gingiva where the clamp will be placed, leaving it for a minute, improving patient comfort! Key TakeAway: Investing in technology like milling can lead to a measurable ROI. Time management is crucial in dental procedures for efficiency. Milling is a subtractive process, while printing is additive. Mentorship is often more valuable than formal courses. The dental industry is evolving with new technologies. Understanding the nuances of dental procedures can enhance practice. Early adoption of technology can set a practice apart. Milling and printing serve different purposes in dental work. Mock-ups can save time and improve patient satisfaction. Milling offers more reliability than printing for dental applications. The choice between milling and printing depends on personal preference and practice needs. Milled composites have a proven track record of durability. Printed splints may not hold up under heavy use. Investing in milling technology can enhance practice efficiency. Design software plays a crucial role in modern dentistry. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each method is essential for success. Investing in dental software can be costly but worthwhile. Learning design software is crucial for modern dentistry. Milling is generally superior to printing for final restorations. Regulatory considerations are important for in-house lab work. Choosing the right milling equipment depends on practice needs. Training and mentorship are essential for mastering dental technology.

Alan is joined with Dr. Armen Mirzayan and Damien Bonner of CAD-Ray for a second round of discussion on digital dentistry! Damien explains a typical progression of someone moving into digital dentistry. Companies shouldn't sell digital products to dentists that aren't ready for them. Armen is a very cheap salesperson.  Buy your scanner from someone who knows something about scanners. CAD-Ray are terrible sales people but amazing support people. Armen on scan bodies One very cool thing about digital dentistry is that we can verify accuracy in ways that you can't in analog dentistry. Digital margins are tiny enough that we cannot manufacture to the tolerances that we actually see on the digital impression. The slop is in manufacturing more than digital scanning Photogrammetry and the accuracy of digital scanners over an edentulous scan.

Today we'll be talking with Cornelia Cone. Cornelia is the office manager, practice advisor and wife of Dr. Miles Cone. She and her husband run a boutique prosthodontic practice in Portland Maine. Cornelia has been instrumental in transitioning their practice from analog to digital and has gained great expertise in keeping their practice on course and successful in the realm of digital dentistry. Thanks to our episode sponsors: 3M - https://www.3m.com/clarity-aligners-flex/ BISCO - https://www.bisco.com/

So how do we start our journey into digital dentistry? To help guide us through all of this is our guest Dr. Miles Cone. In addition to achieving board certification in Prosthodontics, Dr. Cone is also a Certified Dental Technician. He currently has a boutique practice in Portland Maine where he works closely with his wife Cornelia who is the office manager as well as his close advisor regarding many aspects of the practice.

Only a year ago, Dr. Miles Cone, a respected prosthodontist and educator, made the big leap from analog to digital dentistry. It could be argued that he's entered the game a little late, but for years he resisted, based on a number of preconceived ideas about the kind of practice that actually needs and should have a digital dental practice. But once he entered into digital dentistry, everything changed. To tell us about his journey, why it happened and how it completely transformed his life is our guest, Dr Miles Cone. In addition to achieving board certification within his specialty of prosthodontics, Dr. Cone is also a Certified Dental Technician. He currently has a boutique practice in Portland Maine where he works closely with his wife Cornelia who is the office manager as well as his close advisor regarding many aspects of the practice.

Well we had the amazing opportunity to talk to the instructor of the series, Marjorie Andrade. Marjorie has a fascinating and fast-tracked journey into the world of teeth. While still in Brazil, she went to technician school and found herself in a lab learning digital in just a few days. Eventually she was so good and fast, so after work she would freelance for people all over the world. It wasn't long before she connected with Dr. Ahmad and was recording (in two languages) the exocad course and then moving all the way to New Zealand to work at the lab of her dreams.

We love talking to dentist on the podcast. We also love talking to people from different countries. This week we double down on both as we chat with Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny who comes to us all the way from New Zealand. Dr. Ahmad grew up with dentist parents that both owned their own practices. After graduating, he ended up at his father's practice where he was introduced to digital dentistry. He attended a study club where a seller of a IOS system talked about how good it was when he knew it wasn't. That drove him to start reviewing IOS systems. The non-biased reviews grew in popularity and the Institute of Digital Dentistry (https://instituteofdigitaldentistry.com/) was born. Now iDD covers a ton of topics covering all aspects of digital dentistry with multiple instructors. We cover all things digital, the importance of still having a lab, dentistry in New Zealand, and his new podcast Digital Dentistry Decoded with iDD (https://instituteofdigitaldentistry.com/digital-dentistry-decoded-podcast/).

We talk to many vendors and milling centers on the podcast. But never have we talked to a company in Australia that does both. Sam Talassinos grew up in his father's lab and never wanted to be in the industry. After a brief time in retail, Sam found himself in the lab (of course) and introducing digital to their workflow. It took a bad experience while getting some new equipment that drove him to open XYZ Dental (https://xyzdental.com.au/), offering milling services and equipment to other labs in the area. Sam talks about growing up in the industry, how he approaches customer service, and why he joined the board of Australian Dental Industry Association (https://www.adia.org.au/) to help the profession grow.

This week we finally get another implant company on the podcast. At the DTG Symposium (https://dtgevents.com/product/2023-dtg-symposium/) we met Joel Gonzales from MegaGen America (https://megagenamerica.com/). Joel likes to keep it real when talking about dental surgeries because he's been there. Starting as an assistant in the Air Force and then working with a strict Prosthodontist, He started his implant career with Lifecore and it wasn't long before MegaGen wanted him to be the VP of America. From surgical protocols, to why he thinks we are doing too much bone reduction, why guides are not being used correctly, what makes a morse taper implant connection better, to why MegaGen not only come in different sizes and lengths, but why they come in different core sizes and thread sizes. There is SO MUCH implant stuff covered, you don't want to miss it. Are you in the market for top-notch digital equipment, such as mills, scanners, or furnaces? Well, the time to act is NOW!

GC Initial® LiSi Press (https://www.gc.dental/america/products/laboratory/porcelain-systems/gc-initial-lisi-press) is the first lithium disilicate ceramic ingot with High Density Micronization (HDM), a technology unique to GC that provides exceptional physical properties and the most natural, life-like aesthetics. HDM uses equally dispersed lithium disilicate micro-crystals to fill the entire glass matrix rather than using traditional larger size crystals that do not take full advantage of the matrix structure. The result is the ultimate combination of strength and aesthetics, making GC Initial® LiSi Press perfectly suitable for all types of restorations through all levels of transparency.

When someone in the industry seems to spend more time teaching others than working on their own work, we want to learn more. Elvis had the opportunity to take a 2 day hands-on course about pink layering on full arch zirconia and PMMA. The teacher was the wonderful Marina Caponigro (https://www.facebook.com/marina.ya.7). Of course, we had to have her on the podcast to learn about the technician behind the "fire in the belly". Marina talks about coming to America from the Ukraine to marry and work with a Prosthodontist, learning to do full arch restorations and perfecting the pink layering of composites and stains. It wasn't long before she was encouraged to teach others and travels the country teaching both technicians and clinical staff. Wanting to do more for others, Marina and her daughter opened the Smileology Group Dental Lab specializing in helping other labs create beautiful full arch restorations.

To me, that's everything because everybody is jumping on the digital thing. He's right. The same way you could screw up a mouth if you didn't pay attention to sound occlusal principles, or good biologic principles with your margin design, and good restorative principles with your prep design, and good esthetic principles — if you didn't do that in the analog world, you're going to screw things up.” (9:36—10:19)“For most people, the start [to adopting digital] is an intraoral scanner. We've had conversations about this on the podcast before. There are lots of scanners out there. I'm not here to tell you which is the right one. I happen to use iTero. I love my iTero. I have two of them, actually, and we use them for everything. We do wellness scans in hygiene. Once a year, we scan every patient, kind of the opposite of having radiographs made.
