    “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.

    “Technology won’t take away our expertise but will make our life easier”

    Dr Andreas Tsagarakis, DDS, CDE, made a transition to digital dentistry some five years ago with the help of Planmeca equipment. After initially having some doubts, he is nowadays a strong advocate of the digital workflow. In fact, he believes digital dentistry has transformed his clinic. Dr Andreas Tsagarakis is a general practitioner managing his private practice in the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. Born in Crete and raised in Athens, Dr Tsagarakis graduated from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Dental School in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1997. He then continued his

    Dr Gilad Wasserman is a Specialist in Oral Medicine at one of Israel’s most eminent hospitals. In his work, he encounters a variety of different kinds of cases and has found the Planmeca Viso® imaging unit to be beneficial when providing excellent and compassionate care. Dr Wasserman initially studied dentistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem at the recommendation of his neighbour. But he was also drawn to the medical field, so after graduating as a dentist he proceeded to complete a four-year oral medicine residency program. “I was always interested in the medical side

    Father and daughter, mentor and trainee – two generations of dental expertise

    French dental surgeon Dr Reys knows that dental professionals need to constantly upskill themselves in order to keep up with the pace of change. But in order to embrace new technologies, they must be able to master traditional skills first – and that’s precisely what he has encouraged his daughter Rebecca Reys who works alongside him to do. Dental surgeon Guillaume Reys opened his practice in Sélestat, France in 2002. Besides running his clinic, he teaches surgery to dental students at the Faculty of Dental Surgery, University of Strasbourg. As the son of a professor of surgery,

    “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

    Industrial design bridges the gap between the technology and the user

    Every product is created to meet a need. Industrial design attempts to identify these needs in any given industry and answer them with a product that meets them. But how do you get from good industrial design to great industrial design? Planmeca’s long-time Industrial Design Manager Kari Malmén has the answer. He is joined at the company by Senior Industrial Designer Timo Silvonen, Industrial Designer Toni Leinvuo and Planmed’s Industrial & UI Design Manager Tapio Laukkanen as well as Usability Specialists Tero Pihlajamäki and Veli Rundelin and UX/UI Designer Henni Palomäki.

    There’s no business like dental business

    2021 is Planmeca’s 50th anniversary. As part of the milestone year, we are publishing a series of articles written by our own specialists and by dental experts from around the world. This time, Planmeca's Vice President of Sales Jouko Nykänen takes us on a trip down memory lane as he shares with us his experiences travelling the world and witnessing the digital revolution of dentistry unfold. My history with Planmeca spans over two decades – which is almost half of the company’s 50-year journey. The old saying, "Time flies" is an understatement when taking part in such a

    High tech meets cosy comfort in a Parisian clinic

    Located in a quiet street in the 11th arrondissement in Paris, the entrance to Dr Esther Azoulay’s new clinic could easily go unnoticed. But the modesty stops at the threshold − once you enter, you immediately notice that the interior is quite out of the ordinary. With stone walls and skylight windows combined with the latest technology, the result manages to be both cosy and classy at the same time. “I wanted the clinic to reflect my personality,” says Dr Azoulay. “The space used to be a yoga studio, and I was looking to maintain its warmth and charm, but at the same time I

    U.K. Dentist Seeks Answers to Radiation issue; Finds Answer in Helsinki

Located in Nottingham, U.K., he has 9 associates, 2 research PhDs and offers extensive dental education and training courses. Dr. Campbell has worked as a dentist in the United Kingdom for several years and has had experience with virtually every brand of dental equipment.

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

    Part of being a leader and innovator is working to help improve the field in which you work. When the Pankey Institute, a leader in dental education and research, was seeking to update and renovate their facility, improve learning, diagnosis, streamline work process and advance the visitor experience they researched many companies.

    Making A Difference

    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.

    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

    Planmeca’s surgical implant guide improves work flow; increases doctor’s confidence

    Ever since implants became an important option for patients seeking to replace lost teeth, dentists have searched for tools to help them improve their implant placement outcome. Implant guides are an excellent tool to help them meet this goal. The new Planmeca Romexis® Implant Guide module utilizes a 3D volume, STL data file and an implant module software to plan, design and fabricate a single piece implant guide in your practice, or send out that design to a lab for manufacture. “Our new implant workflow streamlines the process and helps reduce potential errors,” said Brett Hines,

    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
