    “Creating beautiful smiles is a great gift we can give to patients”

    Dr Narimen Djerbi followed her childhood fascination with the human smile and went on to study dentistry to become an orthodontist. Now, she is creating beautiful smiles for others in an elegant dental clinic in Tunis. Orthodontist Dr Narimen Djerbi has been fascinated with people’s smiles ever since she was a little girl. “That was always the first thing I paid attention to whenever I met new people – their teeth and their smile,” she says. Having a beautiful smile herself, she was also used to receiving compliments about it. “So I thought, why not help others achieve a

    “Clinics cannot survive unless they reinvent themselves”

    Dr Didier Stephanus has a clinic in the city of Metz in northeastern France. He specialises in implantology and periodontology and has vast experience in performing invisible aligner treatments. We met with him to chat about all things dentistry − and here’s what we talked about! “I feel that not only is the dental profession changing, but clinics cannot survive unless they reinvent themselves,” Dr Stephanus says. “That is what we aim to do at our clinic in Metz. All our dentists specialise in different fields, and the idea is to offer our patients a complete treatment path with

    There’s no business like dental business

    Planmeca, the Pankey Institute Collaborate on Major Renovations to Educational Spaces

    This post is part of #GivingTuesday's #WomenWhoGive series, which celebrates women who are making a difference in their communities. We are reposting a version of it here to provide a brief insight into one of the many caring and committed PlanmecaUSA team members who are making a difference every day. Planmeca Team Member Robin Gathman, Tradeshow, and Special Events Manager, PlanmecaUSA, Inc. What inspired you to start giving? My mom always gave her time to work at my schools.

    Opening the door

    Each day dental professionals are challenged to deliver dental care as efficiently and safely as possible while trying to achieve the esthetic results their patients are seeking. On the case No matter which digital trade journal or dental website you frequent you'll find a case study or article presenting the latest in digital dentistry. Our industry is tech-driven and continually pushing for advances that improve dental procedures, streamline workflow and improve patient safety. Digital media inundates us with content highlighting the processes in complex restoration cases. Mixed-in

    The New Digital Workflow

    Since its inception, CBCT imaging technology has steadily gained momentum and acceptance by doctors. There is no question regarding the effect digital technology has had on the dental industry as we know it. The impact will continue to expand as more advancements and education about CBCT technology come along. One of the great benefits dentists acknowledge is that true 3D Ultra Low Dose technology provides better diagnostic quality at lower radiation levels than 2D and that it can help significantly increase diagnosis. Planmeca Ultra-low Dose™ protocol “enables 3D imaging with an even

    Let’s Work On Our Core

    If you ask people what their “core equipment” is they might think of fitness – toned abs perhaps. If you ask a group of dentists, many will think of dental equipment. So, think about a typical day in a practice. Now, think about how much time a dentist or a staff member spends with a dental chair - two, four or more hours? That’s a big part of a day. What if core dental equipment like dental units, consoles and chairs could work more efficiently, faster, easier and be more ergonomic? But, you’re thinking “what could dental consoles and chairs do better"? It’s likely most doctors and

    Making an Impact

    Impressions, implants, ortho aligners and sleep appliances can all make an impact on the lives of patients. All of these dental procedures and appliances are possible with a great intraoral scanner. The definition of CAD/CAM means the computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture of a product used to turn designs into physical parts. For the dental profession, we normally think of restorations such as crowns, inlays, and onlays. Thinking outside the box and expanding the capabilities of CAD/CAM requires vision and ingenuity. Digital dentistry is the not only the future but also

    Best Social Media Platforms for Your Practice

    In our previous post, we discussed the benefits of social media to establish, promote and better “connect” a dental practice with their local community. For this next entry, we’ll delve deeper into the major forms of social media touching on their differentiators. You’ve decided to take the plunge further into social media, but you have questions. Which social media platform is best for my practice? How often do I post? What do I post? All good questions! Here are some brief “notes” to help provide you with some answers: Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin or Instagram These platforms are

    Implanting a new workflow

    You may not know this interesting dental fact, but the most debilitating oral disorder in the world is edentulism - the state of being partially or without teeth*. Furthermore, 178 million people in the U.S. are missing at least one tooth, and more than 35 million Americans do not have any teeth**! These numbers are projected to grow in the next two decades and point out a growing need for dental implants. Its likely a large percentage of these Americans are seeking to replace lost teeth and to help them dentists require tools to improve implant placement outcome. A surgical Implant guide

    Is ULD (ultra low dose) the new PA?

    While 3D dentistry as a concept is nothing new, the rapid increase in the application of various types of 3D reconstructions in dentistry is both remarkable and for some, even overwhelming. New advances such as Ultra Low Dose CBCT (ULD-3D) cause positive disruption in our thinking around how to properly apply these tools in the clinical setting. Ultra-low dose (ULD) technology is Planmeca’s proprietary protocol for minimizing the radiation exposure delivered by a CBCT scan. And while the reduced exposure is always a plus, what is the effect on the diagnostic quality of the scans? Glad

    Opening up dentistry with open architecture software

    In an industry that is evolving and experiencing innovation as quickly as dentistry is, it’s vital that new technologies are compatible and synergistic to maintain and improve effective workflow and patient care. If new dental equipment can’t communicate digitally with current dental equipment then it can’t be easily connected to a network to process valuable data. This is “closed software architecture” and it prevents a user from taking advantage of new features for improving workflow, expansion of practice services and improved patient safety. Unfortunately, numerous dental equipment

    Trade Shows Are Time Well Spent

    The fall trade show season is upon us and tradeshows historically have been an important way to present a product or service to buyers, end users and the media. However, with the advent of social media, webinars, websites, and video conferencing the value of attending a show in-person are coming into question. Technology, as well as the financial commitment from both the exhibitors and attendees of a show, has had a huge impact on trade show attendance. So, why should you attend an industry trade show? Information, contacts, show specials and more information. Even in this day of instant

    The Townies Come To Town!

    Recently, we played host to a small, select number of dentists who are members of Dentaltown’s online forum. Referred to as “Townies” these dentists are highly engaged in the online message boards and are interested in new techniques and technologies to keep their practices at the forefront of dentistry. At Dentaltown events, Townies delve deeper into the companies they're visiting through seminars, presentations, hands-on tutorials and discussions about the research and development of new upcoming products and equipment.
