Urologist Dr. Alex Tatum on Girth Enhancement, Testosterone, and Peptide Therapy Most men will never ask their doctor the questions this episode answers. From safe, non-surgical girth enhancement to daily testosterone dosing to the peptides fighting for FDA access right now, this conversation covers what actually works, what's dangerous, and what your doctor probably won't bring up first. Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Alex Tatem, a board-certified urologist with fellowship training in male sexual and reproductive medicine. Dr. Tatem has built his practice and his YouTube following around pushing medicine beyond what the traditional medical establishment allows, with a focus on male girth enhancement, performance enhancement, peptides, and PEDs. They break down the real science behind penis enhancement, including why length surgery still does not exist, how hyaluronic acid injections safely increase girth, and why silicone and PMMA fillers have left men permanently disfigured. Dave and Dr. Tatem also get into cutting-edge testosterone dosing strategies, the peptides driving the biggest gains in human performance and longevity, including BPC-157, TB-500, SS-31, and MOTS-c, and why PT-141 has become the most talked-about peptide for libido and sexual health. You'll Learn: Why hyaluronic acid injections have become the safest, most reproducible method for girth enhancement The truth about penis enlargement surgery, and why length enhancement still has no reliable surgical fix How daily microdosed testosterone compares to traditional weekly TRT protocols Why PT-141 and melanotan II are being used for libido, nitric oxide release, and even prostate health How BPC-157, TB-500, SS-31, and MOTS-c are changing recovery, mitochondria function, and metabolism The dangerous enhancement trends to avoid, including silicone implants and unregulated fillers Why the fight over peptide access at the FDA could determine the future of functional medicine and supplements in America Thank you to our sponsors! - Just Thrive | Get a free 90-day supply of Digestive Bitters (a $90 value) when you start a 90-day Just Thrive Probiotic subscription at https://get.justthrivehealth.com/pages/asprey - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off. - ALP | Head to http://alppouch.com/ and use code DAVE for 20% off your first order.

Hello, Voices of the Bench community. This is Casey Baldwin with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS emax Zirconia, offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help you save valuable production time while maintaining consistent outcomes. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out today and discover how IPS emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. This week, Elvis and Barb are coming to you from the FDLA Symposium at the GPS Digital RPD booth with two conversations that prove one thing: dental technology never stops evolving. First up, Chris Bradley from SmileLine USA returns to the podcast alongside technician, educator, and lab owner Richard Wodzinski, with Dawn Roniger from GC America joining the discussion. What starts as a conversation about "sexy brushes" quickly turns into a deep dive into one of the most intriguing shade-matching workflows you'll hear about. Richard explains how the OptiShade camera and Matisse software work together to create incredibly accurate shade recipes for everything from monolithic zirconia to layered ceramics and even gingiva. They also discuss the latest Creation Magic Color system, hands-on education, custom shade appointments, and why reducing remakes isn't just good for labs—it's better for doctors and patients too. Add in some FDLA leadership talk and a shared passion for education, and you've got a conversation packed with practical ideas and plenty of laughs. Then Elvis and Barb sit down with Kaveh Shams, Branch Manager for Zirkonzahn Canada, whose journey into digital dentistry spans London, Italy, and Canada. Kaveh shares how his admiration for Enrico Steger and Zirkonzahn eventually led to his dream job, while also offering a fascinating look into the company's history, philosophy, and commitment to education. From the origins of Exocad and custom CAM strategies to modular milling systems, open architecture, and Zirkonzahn's incredible Military School program that trains the next generation of technicians, this conversation is full of insight into what makes one of dentistry's most respected digital companies tick. It's an inspiring story of passion, persistence, and why great technology always starts with great technicians.Special Guests: Chris Bradley, Dawn Roniger ​​​​, Kaveh Shams, and Rich Wodzinski.

The Voices From the Bench microphones head to the FDLA Symposium for three conversations that perfectly capture what makes this industry so special. Thanks to the wonderful people at GPS Digital RPD, Elvis and Barb got to sit down with longtime friend Morris Fucarino to celebrate an incredible milestone—50 years as a CDT. Morris shares how he found his way into dental technology, what earning certification has meant throughout his career, and why he believes every technician should strive to be the best they can be. From belt-driven handpieces and gold crowns to running a successful one-man laboratory with just three loyal doctors, Morris proves that passion, relationships, and knowledge never go out of style. His stories are a reminder that while technology continues to change, craftsmanship and pride in your work remain timeless. Next, the conversation shifts to Enja Dorjchuluun from Sakr Dental Arts, who talks about helping lead one of Florida's fastest-growing laboratories while serving on the FDLA Board of Directors. She discusses the challenges of managing a lab spread across multiple buildings, the excitement of moving into a brand-new facility, and why giving back through organized dentistry has become such an important part of her career. From developing future technicians to creating educational opportunities and strengthening state associations, Enja shares why investing in people is every bit as important as investing in technology. To wrap things up, Elvis and Barb meet Joseph Núñez Reyes from GPS Digital Dental Lab, whose journey from Puerto Rico to Orlando is fueled by determination, curiosity, and a love for digital dentistry. After leaving biomedical engineering behind, Joseph found his passion in the dental laboratory, worked his way from the model room to supervising a modern CAM department, and now showcases laboratory workflows through social media to inspire the next generation of technicians. With dreams of one day returning to Puerto Rico to build a state-of-the-art laboratory, Joseph reminds us that the future of dental technology is in very capable hands. Ever notice the busiest labs aren't always the ones working the longest hours? They're usually the ones with a workflow that keeps moving—even after everyone heads home. Real productivity isn't about asking your team to do more; it's about having the right tools doing more for your team. That's where Roland's DGSHAPE DWX milling solutions really shine. Built to keep production moving whether you're milling a single case or running overnight, they free your technicians to focus on finishing cases, serving customers, and growing the business instead of babysitting equipment. That's what real productivity looks like: more output, fewer interruptions, and less time spent chasing problems. Because every hour your mill is producing is another hour your lab is creating value. If you're ready to get more from every production day, discover what Roland's DGSHAPE DWX milling solutions can do for your lab at rolanddental.com.Special Guests: Enja Dorjchuluun, Joseph Núñez Reyes, and Morris Fucarino CDT.

O convidado do JR ENTREVISTA desta quarta-feira (24) é o presidente do CFM (Conselho Federal de Medicina), José Hiran Gallo. Ao jornalista Thiago Nolasco, ele falou sobre a medida provisória que cria o Enamed (Exame Nacional de Avaliação da Formação Médica), a qualidade do ensino médico no Brasil, a distribuição de profissionais pelo país e temas relacionados à segurança dos pacientes.Durante a conversa, Gallo manifestou apoio ao exame de proficiência, mas criticou o modelo da Medida Provisória 1.370, defendendo que a avaliação seja aplicada pelo próprio CFM e não pelo Inep. Ele argumentou que a prova deve ser mais rigorosa, com pelo menos 300 questões e uma etapa prática. “Medicina não tem como você aprender a distância. Medicina tem que ser ao lado de um paciente”, afirmou.O presidente do conselho demonstrou preocupação com a qualidade das 450 faculdades de medicina no país, citando que, no último Enamed, cerca de 14 mil estudantes tiveram notas insuficientes. Gallo criticou a falta de hospitais universitários e de fiscalização do MEC na abertura desses cursos. “Quando você quer destruir um país, destrua a educação. Aí fica tudo fácil".Sobre a distribuição de profissionais, Gallo afirmou que o Brasil possui médicos suficientes (750 mil), mas que faltam políticas públicas para fixá-los no interior e ampliar as vagas de residência médica. Ele também pontuou que o “achatamento salarial” e as dívidas do Fies dificultam o início da carreira dos jovens médicos.Na área de segurança do paciente, o dirigente explicou o banimento do PMMA (polimetilmetacrilato) para fins estéticos devido aos riscos de necrose e morte, reforçando que “estética chega, porque tem outros produtos melhores e que não são nefrotóxicos”. Gallo também alertou sobre o uso de “canetas emagrecedoras” sem prescrição e concluiu afirmando que, apesar dos avanços tecnológicos, a inteligência artificial jamais substituirá o diagnóstico humano feito pelo médico.O programa também está disponível na Record News, no R7, nas redes sociais e no RecordPlus.

A proibição do uso do PMMA como preenchedor pelo Conselho Federal de Medicina reacendeu o debate sobre a segurança dos procedimentos estéticos no Brasil. A decisão foi motivada por alertas acumulados ao longo dos anos sobre complicações graves, como deformidades permanentes, sequelas e até mortes. O JR 15 Minutos entrevista o cirurgião plástico André Perez Pontes, do Hospital Moriah, para explicar os riscos, as mudanças para pacientes e médicos e as alternativas disponíveis no mercado.

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. My laboratory's known for these larger cases with complex geometries, and I can tell you that extra power really makes a difference. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Beyond the technology, Felix emphasized the value of being there in person—connecting face-to-face with partners, having meaningful conversations, and stepping back to see where the industry is headed. And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. This week at the Dental Laboratory Association of Texas Meeting 2026, the microphones stayed hot as three completely different conversations all circled around the same thing: how fast the dental lab industry is evolving. First up, the crew sat down with Tony Aliatim from Axis Dental Milling to talk about going from biomedical engineering and printing silicone heart models for surgeons… to becoming one of the go-to names in dental milling. From industrial machining roots in Michigan to AI-powered calibration systems and Straumann plug-and-play workflows, Tony breaks down how VersaMill machines are helping labs mill everything from zirconia to implant abutments faster, smarter, and safer. Along the way, the conversation dives into HyperDent, trade show madness, wet vs dry milling nightmares, and why dental technicians may not realize how close this industry really is to aerospace-level manufacturing. Then things shifted from mills to maintenance with Rebekah Serrago and Chris Wilson from Garland Dental Services. What started decades ago as a garage-based repair business fixing handpieces has grown into one of the industry's best-kept secrets for equipment sales, service, and support. Rebekah shares the story of growing up folding flyers for her father's repair company before eventually becoming CEO and expanding Garland into a massive online sales and service operation supporting everything from ovens to mills. Chris joins in to talk preventative maintenance, service certifications, keeping ancient ovens alive, and why labs desperately need dealers that actually understand the equipment they sell. It's equal parts family-business story, repair shop wisdom, and hilarious behind-the-scenes dental lab banter. Finally, the future officially arrived when the podcast crew sat down with Antoine Coppens from Relu and orthodontic lab owner Christian Saurman of New England Orthodontic Laboratory. What started as four engineering students experimenting with AI in Belgium somehow turned into fully automated dental workflows capable of designing surgical guides, night guards, models, and restorations in minutes. The conversation explores how AI is reshaping lab workflows, reducing manual design time, integrating directly into LMS systems, and even learning individual lab preferences. Christian explains how his custom-built orthodontic lab management system helped eliminate workflow chaos and automate huge portions of production, while Antoine gives a fascinating look into where dental AI is headed next. Between AI-generated appliances, automated scan checks, and self-learning workflows, this episode feels less like science fiction and more like a preview of what labs will look like over the next five years.Special Guests: Antoine Coppens, Chris Wilson, Christian Saurman, Rebekah Serrago, and Tony Aliatim.

Most people don't realize how early body anxiety can start, or how quietly it can shape decades of confidence. I'm joined by Dan Salas, owner and CEO of Surgery Life Enhancement, who begins with the most personal credential possible: he started as a patient. From childhood insecurity to making a life's work out of helping others, Dan lays out the emotional side of male enhancement with a level of honesty you rarely hear. We also get practical and specific about the procedures themselves. Dan explains how penis enlargement options have evolved from older approaches  to newer, less invasive methods for penile girth enhancement. If you've ever searched terms like male enhancement surgery, penis enlargement, PMMA penile filler, or penis lengthening, this conversation helps translate the jargon into plain English. A big takeaway is that outcomes aren't just about what happens in the treatment room. Dan talks about safety, preparation, and “preconditioning” before an elective procedure, plus how to think clearly about clinic quality when so many options now appear online. We also discuss what results can look like over time, how “rounds” work, and why patient support after treatment can make or break the experience. If this sparked a question or challenged what you thought you knew, subscribe, share this with a friend who'd actually benefit from hearing it, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.Send us Fan Mail Support the showThanks for listening!Check out this site for everthing to know about women's pleasure including video tutorials and great suggestions for bedroom time!!https://for-goodness-sake-omgyes.sjv.io/c/5059274/1463336/17315Take the happiness quiz from Oprah and Arthur Brooks here: https://arthurbrooks.com/buildNEW: Subscribe monthly: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1805181/support Email  questions/comments/feeback to tamara@straightfromthesourcesmouth.co Website: https://straightfromthesourcesmouthpod.net/Instagram: @fromthesourcesmouth_franktalkTwitter: @tamarapodcastYouTube and IG: Tamara_Schoon_comicWant to be a guest on Straight from the Source's Mouth: Frank Talk about Sex and Dating?

A morte de uma mulher após um procedimento estético em Goiás reacendeu o debate sobre os riscos dos preenchedores injetáveis, sobretudo quando há suspeita do uso de PMMA, substância ligada a complicações graves. A Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária reforçou o alerta sobre produtos como ácido hialurônico, hidroxiapatita de cálcio, PLLA e o próprio PMMA, classificados como dispositivos de risco alto ou máximo. Neste episódio, o JR 15 Minutos conversa com o cirurgião plástico do Hospital Moriah, Felipe Amado, sobre os limites desses procedimentos, quando eles são seguros e por que substâncias restritas ainda continuam sendo usadas no Brasil.

From delivering impressions on a scooter through the streets of London to completely rebuilding his lab as a fully digital operation, Michael shares a candid, honest look at what it really takes to survive—and thrive—in today's dental lab landscape. Michael walks listeners through his early days pouring hundreds of stone models by hand, navigating education with dyslexia, and eventually earning his degree in dental technology. After years at the bench, he pivoted into dental sales, working with companies like Orascoptic, Sirona, and Skillbond/Argen—experience that gave him deep insight into materials, equipment, and the business side of dentistry. That sales background ultimately fueled his return to lab ownership and helped him build a strong network of clinicians from day one. The conversation takes a powerful turn as Michael opens up about the challenges of Brexit, COVID, staffing losses, and personal upheaval that nearly ended his lab altogether. Instead of quitting, he made a bold decision: gut the lab completely and rebuild it from the ground up as a fully digital operation. Investing heavily in milling, printing, Exocad, and workflow automation, Michael shares how committing to systems, protocols, and vertical integration transformed not just his lab—but his mindset. Elvis and Barb dig into Michael's digital workflows, including photogrammetry, full-arch immediate load cases, remote design teams, LMS integration with GreatLab, and why reliability and consistency are the real competitive advantages. Michael also explains how peer referrals—not ads—became his strongest growth engine, and how simplifying communication with dentists through WhatsApp, QR codes, automation, and self-booking systems has completely changed the way his lab operates.### If you want to grow your business, you need clear insight into what's happening inside your operation and across your customer journey.

We're coming to you live from NOLA Lab Fest with two very different, but equally nerd-worthy conversations. A HUGE THANKS to Aidite North America (https://www.aidite.com/) that has made this all available. Go show them some serious love. First up, Elvis sits down with Rik Jacobs from Novenda Technologies (https://www.lake3d.com/) to talk about a truly disruptive production-scale 3D printer that can print multi-material and multi-color—at the same time. We dive into voxel-based printing, integrated hard/soft gradients, no supports, water-soluble wax, massive denture and night guard output, and why centralized production labs should be paying very close attention to what Novenda is building next. Then we switch gears and catch up with Jess Gray, whose career journey is a masterclass in saying “yes,” learning fast, and building something special. From front desk at Aspen to running a rapidly growing in-house lab in the Finger Lakes region, Jess walks us through analog-to-digital dentures, Exocad self-education, facial scanning for All-on-X, in-office workflows, team building, and what it really takes to scale a lab while still loving the bench. This episode is packed with inspiration, tech talk, and real-world lab ownership lessons you don't hear every day. Happy Holidays from Ivoclar! As the year comes to a close, all of us at Ivoclar want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible Voices From the Bench community. Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and the support you've shown throughout the year. From our Ivoclar family to yours, we wish you a joyful, healthy, and safe holiday season.

What do you expect from running a fire test? I would hope that it improves my state of knowledge. But do they do this? We often pursue them blindly, but it seems there is a way to do this in an informed way. In this episode we explore a rigorous, practical way to select and design experiments by asking a sharper question: which test delivers the most decision-changing information for the least cost, time, and impact. With Dr. Andrea Franchini of Ghent University, we unpack a Bayesian framework that simulates possible outcomes before you touch a sample, updates your state of knowledge, and quantifies the utility of that update as uncertainty reduction, economic value, or environmental benefit.First, we reframe testing around information gain. Starting from a prior distribution for the parameter you care about, we model candidate experiments and compute how each would shift the posterior. The gap between prior and posterior is the signal; diminishing returns tell you when to stop. In the cone calorimeter case on PMMA ignition time, early trials yield large gains, then the curve flattens, revealing a rational stopping point and a transparent way to plan sample counts and budgets. The same structure scales from simple statistical models to high-fidelity or surrogate models when physics and geometry matter.Then we tackle a post-fire decision with real financial stakes: repair a reinforced concrete slab, or accept residual risk. We connect Eurocode-based thermal analysis to two test options—rebound hammer temperature proxies and discoloration depth—and compute their value of information. By translating updated probabilities of exceeding 600°C into expected costs of repair versus undetected failure, we show how to choose the test that pays back the most. In the studied scenario, the rebound hammer provides higher value, even after accounting for testing costs, but the framework adapts to different buildings, cost ratios, and risk appetites.Beyond pass-fail, this approach helps optimize sensor layouts, justify added instrumentation, and balance multiple objectives—uncertainty, money, and environmental impact—without slipping into guesswork. If you're ready to move from ritual testing to evidence that changes outcomes, this conversation maps the path. Papers to read after this:Which test is the best?

Ongoing weak demand pressure, rising import trends, and interest in recycling sets the tone at K in Dusseldorf, Germany, one of Europe's key downstream plastics industry events.Markets editor Stephanie Wix and markets reporter Sam Lovatt unpack the highlights and major talking points from K in this podcast, focusing on Europe acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polystyrene (PS), expandable polystyrene (EPS), polycarbonate (PC), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) markets.

Fire doesn't play by Earth's rules once you leave gravity behind. In this deep dive with Professor Michael Gollner, we unpack what the recent experiments at the ISS called SoFIE-MIST taught us about solid fuel flammability in microgravity—how tiny ventilation, oxygen levels, and pressure shifts determine whether a flame spreads, stalls, or vanishes. The details are surprising: blue “bubble” flames, two distinct extinction points, and sustained burning at oxygen levels that would fail to ignite on Earth.We walk through the entire setup: PMMA rods chosen for clean, uniform burning; a compact wind tunnel inside the ISS hardware; ceramic heaters delivering 1–3 kW/m² to probe incipient behavior; and a control strategy that often lets the flame's own oxygen consumption carry the chamber gently to extinction. Along the way, you'll hear how constraints drive design—why rods beat flats, why halogen lamps didn't fly, how crew time is minimized with robotic runs—and how data is captured without weighing anything. Opposed-flow flame spread becomes a window into fundamentals: radiative preheating, thermal thickness, and the delicate balance between convective loss and feedback when buoyancy is gone.The implications stretch to future habitats and vehicles. As spaceflight moves toward longer missions and more commercial operators, safety will hinge on accurate flammability limits under low ventilation and non-Earth atmospheres. We connect the dots to normoxic choices, partial‑g research on the Moon and Mars, and the growing need for space fire engineering that's grounded in real data. If you care about spacecraft safety, materials selection, and the science behind early fire detection, this conversation is right for you.If you want to learn more, do it here:a brilliant article at the Berkeley websiteNASA Glenn website about the SoFIE programmeEpisode 75 with David Urban on spacecraft fire safetyQA session 5 - brainstorming martian habitat fire safetyCover image credit: NASA, Igniting a 12.7 mm sample at 21% oxygen under 100 kPa ambient pressure in microgravity.

In today's episode, we will be looking at a material called PMMA. It is used in emergency situations to hold together fractured vertebra.  It is still used today, so it is very important for us to understand the nature of this material and how it is used. 

Venha ouvir meu react à uma notícia absurda: um homem quase foi de arrasta após aplicar PMMA no órgão genital. Também falo sobre romances gay no cinema e volto com o quadro ‘Reclamando com Lorelay'. -

What happens when we stick a thermocouple into a fire? The answer is surprisingly complex and has profound implications for fire safety engineering. In this deep-dive episode, Dr. David Morrisset from Queensland University joins Wojciech to unravel the science of fire measurements that underpins every experiment, test report, and dataset in our field.The conversation reveals a critical truth often overlooked by practitioners: measurements don't capture reality directly - they capture the interaction between our instruments and fire phenomena. When a thermocouple reports a temperature, it's actually measuring its own thermal equilibrium, not necessarily the gas temperature we assume it represents. This distinction becomes crucial when using experimental data to validate models or make engineering decisions.The hosts explore various measurement techniques - from temperature and flow measurements to heat flux gauges and oxygen consumption calorimetry - detailing their underlying principles, practical challenges, and hidden assumptions. David shares fascinating insights from his research, including innovative approaches to extracting meaningful data from noisy mass loss measurements and using high-resolution temperature fields to calculate heat fluxes without traditional gauges.This episode offers essential context for anyone who reads research papers, interprets test reports, or uses experimental data in their practice. By understanding the nuances of how we measure fire phenomena, engineers can better evaluate the quality and applicability of experimental results, recognise their limitations, and ultimately make more informed safety decisions. Whether you're conducting experiments or applying their results, this conversation will transform how you think about the data that drives our field.I've received a bunch of papers from David to share with you, here we go:Data smoothing - particularly around things like the MLR. This is covered in many papers, and you can start with: https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0379711222000893The "blue light method" was discussed in the podcast with Matt Hoehler from NIST - I came up with the same kind of effect but with PMMA (using black light instead of blue light) - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.firesaf.2025.104425We did some work on characterising the thermal boundary layer generated by gas-fired radiant panels. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.firesaf.2023.104013 In the flame spread work, I did use temperature data to approximate the heat flux acting at the surface https://doi.org/10.1016/j.firesaf.2023.104048----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

In the ever-evolving world of dental technology, staying ahead of the curve is essential for both practitioners and patients. This week we talk with Dr. Nilo Hernandez and Johnny O., who are making waves in the industry with their groundbreaking SiOS system (https://siosdental.com/). This innovative approach promises to revolutionize the way full arch dentistry is performed, offering a more efficient and precise method that benefits both dental professionals and their patients. Dr. Nilo Hernandez, a seasoned implantologist with over 35 years of experience, and Johnny O., a dental technician with a wealth of digital expertise, have joined forces to address the challenges faced in full arch dentistry. Their collaboration led to the development of the SiOS system, a digital workflow designed to streamline the process and eliminate common issues encountered during implant procedures. The SiOS system stands out for its ability to adapt to any implant system and surgical workflow, thanks to its unique use of beacons or matchmakers. These elements allow for precise placement and alignment, ensuring a better than printed full arch in just a few hours. This means that dental professionals can now offer their patients a more predictable and less invasive experience, with reduced chair time and improved outcomes. Dr. Hernandez and Johnny O. shared their journey from the initial concept to the fully realized SiOS system. They discussed the challenges they faced, such as the need for a digital solution that could work in both guided and non-guided environments. Their perseverance and dedication to problem-solving led to a system that not only meets these needs but also elevates the standard of care in implant dentistry.

In the episode 10 of fire fundamentals together with David Morrisset, a nearly graduated PhD student from the University of Edinburgh, we explore the intricate dynamics of flame spread and its crucial role in fire safety engineering. David helps us differentiate between the two primary modes of flame spread, concurrent (imagine upward spread) and opposed (imagine downward spread), and explains how understanding these mechanisms can significantly enhance building safety and fire risk mitigation.In this episode, we take a closer look at various materials like PMMA and timber and their unique fire behaviors. We also examine the complexities of flame spread on charring solids such as timber, discussing how pyrolysis and the resulting char layer influence heat transfer and flame behavior.Lastly, we dissect the heat transfer mechanisms in various materials, from foams to solid slabs, and how factors like orientation and material properties affect flame spread rates. David highlights the balance between gas phase and solid phase heat transfer and the importance of precise modeling to predict flame behaviors accurately. Phemonena discussed here:flame spread definitionconcurrent vs opposed flame spreadregimes of flame spreaddriving mechanisms of flame spreadFurther reading: Quantifying the controlling mechanisms of opposed flow flame spread: Influence of orientation, material, and external heating Characterization of Flame Spread Over PMMA Using a Temperature Reconstruction MethodThe relative position of pyrolysis onset and flame front location for downward flame spreadAnd even though we did not have time to discuss diagnostics in the episode, you can check this crazy paper of David:Assessment and application of phosphor thermometry for spatially resolved surface temperature measurements during downward flame spreadCover image: edited from Figure 1 in https://doi.org/10.1016/j.firesaf.2023.104048----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

Host: Jennifer Warmann-BlossGuest: Tabitha Braun, Nurse Practitioner and Expert in Cosmetic ServicesEpisode Overview: In this episode of "Beyond the Mirror," we dive deep into the topic of fillers, a subject that raises many questions and concerns in the aesthetics industry. With over 22 years of experience, our host shares insights alongside guest expert Tabitha Braun. They discuss the types of fillers, where and why certain areas should or shouldn't be filled, the importance of dissolvable fillers, and share some horror stories to underline the importance of choosing the right products and injectors.Key Points Discussed:Types of Fillers: The safety and versatility of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers due to their dissolvable nature. Risks associated with non-dissolvable fillers like Collagen and PMMA, highlighting horror stories from real experiences. The distinction between safe fillers and those posing potential risks due to their permanent nature. Areas of Caution for Filler Injection: Under-eye, temple, and between the eyebrows are highlighted as high-risk areas due to potential complications, including vascular occlusion and necrosis. The importance of correct product placement and the role of the injector's expertise in achieving natural-looking results. The debate around filling the nasal labial folds and the potential for unnatural outcomes. Horror Stories and Lessons Learned: Real-life incidents underscoring the gravity of choosing experienced professionals and the right type of filler. Stories include severe reactions to permanent fillers leading to surgical interventions and lifelong disfigurement. Advice for Potential Patients: The significance of conducting thorough research, asking for before-and-after photos, and understanding the injector's aesthetic style. The importance of using dissolvable fillers for safety and reversibility. Recommendations for starting with less invasive areas and considering the long-term effects of aging on filler placement. Closing Thoughts: A reminder of the inherent risks in cosmetic procedures, balanced by the potential for beautiful results when performed correctly.

If the word 'uncertainty' sounds extremely boring to you, this episode will prove you wrong. I have invited David Morrisset from the University of Edinburgh to discuss his research on the subject. Whereas in fact David is establishing standard deviations, means and other statistical means of quantifying uncertainty in core fire measurements, the really impactful and important part of his research is on explaining WHY those uncertainties are there. Through physical explanation of processes happening in fire we may grasp a really good understanding why two HRR-time curves of the same object burned in the same lab, in the same way may be so vastly different.These findings are fundamental for practical fire engineering. The establishment of design fires and their relation to the experiments is discussed in depth. We also talk about how we could establish better design fires for future engineering practice.Some excellent further reading:Repeat Fire Tests of Upholstered Furniture: Variability and Experimental Observations - the upholstered chair paperStatistical uncertainty in bench-scale flammability tests - the PMMA paper 

In this BackTable MSK episode, host Dr. Jacob Fleming interviews Dr. Alan Sag about techniques and advancements in bone cryoablation. Dr. Sag is an interventional radiologist at Duke University Medical Center. To start, Dr. Sag discusses his current practice and collaboration with orthopedic surgeons. He highlights IlluminOss, a new photodynamic bone stabilization system that uses similar concepts to endovascular balloons. Then, the doctors move onto discussing cryoablation, which was recently cleared by the FDA for use in pain palliation in bone metastases. Dr. Sag describes the procedural steps of cryoablation, pneumodissection with carbon dioxide, when to use polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) augmentation, the value of same session biopsy, and education for referrers and patients. Cryoneurolysis and intrathecal pain pumps are also discussed, as they can offer additional pain relief for patients and reduce opioid dependence. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Stryker Interventional Spine https://www.strykerivs.com --- SHOW NOTES 00:00 - Introduction 03:20 - Collaboration with Orthopedic Surgery 08:57 - FDA Clearance for Cryoablation 14:47 - Cement Augmentation after Cryoablation 19:22 - Approach to the Cryoablation Procedure 26:57 - The Value of Same Session Biopsy 29:11 - Coordinating Cross-Specialty Oncologic Care 33:30 - Side Effects of Cryoablation 38:03 - Cryoneurolysis for Pain Reduction 45:40 - Skin Safety During Cryoablation 50:58 - Preferred Imaging Modalities 57:28 - Neuromodulation with Intrathecal Pain Pumps --- RESOURCES Symposium on Clinical Interventional Oncology (CIO): https://www.hmpglobalevents.com/cio BackTable VI Ep. 221- Building a Musculoskeletal Oncology Service Line with Dr. Alan Sag: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/221/building-a-musculoskeletal-interventional-oncology-service IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System: https://www.illuminoss.com/eu BackTable VI Ep. 401- The MOTION Study: Cryoablation for Painful Bony Metastases with Dr. Jack Jennings: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/401/the-motion-study-cryoablation-for-painful-bone-metastases BackTable VI Ep. 284- Ortho/IR Collaboration in Private Practice with Dr. Tony Brown & Dr. Daniel Lerman: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/284/ortho-ir-collaboration-in-private-practice BackTable MSK Ep. 25- Advanced Minimally Invasive Pain Interventions with Dr. David Prologo: https://www.backtable.com/shows/msk/podcasts/25/advanced-minimally-invasive-pain-interventions Pneumodissection for Skin Protection in Image-Guided Cryoablation of Superficial Musculoskeletal Tumors: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5499669/ BackTable MSK 40- Innovating Pain Management: The Role of Spinal Cord Stimulators in Outpatient Care with Dr. Doug Beall https://www.backtable.com/shows/msk/podcasts/40/innovating-pain-management-the-role-of-spinal-cord-stimulators-in-outpatient-care

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.

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. Most importantly, HDM technology helps ensure the product remains extremely stable, without distortion or drop in value, even after multiple firings.

Every time you blink, technology and materials change in dentistry. One man who seems to keep up on a lot of it is Brian Binnie. Brian grew up in his father's lab but never really had the hands to do the work. Moving over to a supply vendor sent him on a journey to be a part of many big releases in dental laboratory history. Brian talks about the introduction of Empress to North America, the early days of Cerec, the formation of the Leixir Group (https://leixir.com/), and his current role at Pac-Dent (https://pac-dent.com/).

We can hardly believe that for the last 260 straight weeks, we have been able to talk to so many amazing people in and around the dental laboratory industry. Early on we thought we would struggle to find guests, but as it turns out, our industry is even more amazing than we thought. Every year on our anniversary we catch up with the first guest who took a chance on us, Renata Budny. Renata is a professor at the New York City College of Technology Restorative Dentistry program (https://www.citytech.cuny.edu/restorativedentistry/). She again updates us on the school but brings along some amazing past students and now adjunct instructors who just happen to be married, Oscar and Natalie Galvis. Oscar and Natalie talk about attending the school, going back to teach, what they are seeing in new students, and balancing all that with their own lab and family. Cheers to another 5 years!

We are always fascinated by technicians that are married and work together. Successfully. This week we talk to Lola and Mark Welch. Both technicians from the UK who worked in the same area. After finally running into each other, Mark and Lola dated and eventually got married. Still working together, their careers grew and soon went different but similar paths. They talk about their journey in dental technology, the journey together, and what they are doing now. Mark is with Nexa3D (https://nexa3d.com/), helping to bring a new printer to the industry and Lola is growing on Instagram, teaching courses, and now a proud member of the DTG (https://www.dentaltechniciansguild.com/) family.
