New Composite Resin Technology

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

In the April edition of Inside Dentistry I had an article published about a new composite resin technology. The folks at Septodont are using new resin chemistry to create a composite that has some very interesting physical properties and future potential.

This has been a fun one to research as it potentially a big breakthru in composite chemisty…..and Septodont’s restorative materials facility is right here in Colorado. So it’s been fun to work with a local company!

Benco National Sales meeting

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Yesterday I had the honor of being the keynote speaker at the Benco National Sales meeting. What a great day! This was a bit different for me….there was not a single dentist in the audience of 500 people. Rather it was the entire sales force of Benco. It was a fun challenge to present to a nondentist group.

What I learned in my preparation and my 3 days participating in their meeting is that this is a great company that’s trying hard to do the right thing. Benco has only recently started expanding West so I really didn’t know that much about the company. Now, knowing them better I’m truly impressed with the goals and the direction of this company! They truly are dedicated to the success of their dentists/clients.

I having a great time here with this group and will leave with a new appreciation for Benco and it’s dedication to our profession.

American Dental Association Meeting ‘08

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

I just returned from the ADA meeting in Texas. I was impressed with the attendance in an down economic enviroment.

I was down there to interact with my manufacture friends seeing what is new in the dental world. A couple of things stood out.

1. Pelton Crane has developed a new LED based operatory light. Really cool…lots of new and interesting features.

2. Vident’s new cordless EasyShade. Easier to use and very accurate.

3. Denmat’s purchase of GlamSmile. GlamSmile has a unique delivery system that may make delivery easier. I have not tried it yet….but sure looks interesting. Not clear how this will integrate with Lumineers

4. Kavo continues to perfect the electric handpiece….also their new diode laser has every cool feature on it that you could want.

5. Went by the Danville Engineering booth and was reintroduced to air abrasion with the new PrepStart system. They have integrated water into their system to reduce the “dust” associated with intraoral air abrasion. Interesting. I did alot of air abrasion preps in the 90’s…..this could make me think about returning to this concept.
