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

    By any standards, Dr. Colin Campbell has a unique dental operation. It’s not a practice, it’s an academy. The Campbell Academy . 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. He knows the international dental industry inside and out. But there was one thing that plagued him: the lack of reliable information on the radiation

    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

    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

    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. The Townies showcase their trip and experiences by sharing

    Dental Orchestration

    In the previous Impressions blog, I discussed several equipment considerations I made when I was designing my practice. Now I would like to share my experience with two important pieces of software that work in conjunction with my equipment. Software Planmeca Romexis® open architecture software is one of the more user-friendly options available. Planmeca Romexis® networks their digital equipment together (and most equipment from other manufacturers), offering exceptional features, workflow improvements, and remote monitoring possibilities. Image correction It’s a simple equation:

    School Is In Session

    (In this week’s blog Dr. Alex Touchstone discusses the advantage of continuing your education) Dentistry is a wonderfully complex profession. As such, we tend to have an innate curiosity to learn new methods for improving patient care. Learning new techniques is exciting and rewarding on many levels. I recently added up the number of CE hours I have scheduled for learning in the next 12 months and they total over 250. I greatly appreciate the valuable guidance, experiences, and teaching from the many mentors who have been central to my development. There will most likely be more added as

    The Science Of Dentistry And Patient Care

    (In this week’s blog Dr. Alex Touchstone discusses Ultra Low Dose CBCT technology) As healthcare professionals, we are bombarded by the challenges of juggling patients, running a practice, and our personal responsibilities. Many times we are loath to take on another product, machine, software package, or new training process requiring additional time and financial commitments. The science of dentistry is one of the elements that make our profession uniquely challenging and rewarding. As oral health care providers, we employ judgment, skills, and technology to reverse disease processes
