    "There must be academic proof that digital dental tools are reliable"

    Dr János Vág DMD, PhD, is an Associate Professor and the Head of Department for Conservative Dentistry at the Semmelweis University in Hungary. In the past few years, his research has focused on digital dentistry and evaluating the accuracy of CAD/CAM systems. In addition to having published 49 articles in peer-reviewed journals, Dr Vág has vast experience from clinical work at a dental clinic as well. Therefore, he can tell a thing or two about the importance of dental research for clinical work as well as the benefits of going digital. Dr Janos Vág became a dentist of necessity,

    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

    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. After many visits, consults and “fit” discussions, the Pankey Institute selected Planmeca as their imaging system and CAD/CAM equipment partner. In this role, Planmeca’s imaging and restorative solutions will be front and center of all training programs. In

    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. 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. I learned the value of giving back from her. As I got older and my kids were grown, I looked for

    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

    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:

    Digital Drivers In Your Practice

    (In this week’s blog Dr. Jay Burton discusses digital dental technology) Technology is racing at a faster pace we see it everywhere: drones are available at any chain drugstore, driverless cars are coming, and CBCT imaging is rapidly becoming the industry’s new PA. Yet there are still dentists who have not made the switch from film to digital dentistry. Employing digital dentistry in a practice allows a doctor to see things clearer, provides a significant cost savings when compared to film-based radiography, and most importantly there are significant radiation dose reductions that can be
