297: Real Implant Talk with Joel Gonzales and MegaGen


Listen Later

This week we finally get another implant company on the podcast. At the DTG Symposium we met Joel Gonzales from MegaGen America. Joel likes to keep it real when talking about dental surgeries because he’s been there. Starting as an assistant in the Air Force and then working with a strict Prosthodontist, He started his implant career with Lifecore and it wasn’t long before MegaGen wanted him to be the VP of America. From surgical protocols, to why he thinks we are doing too much bone reduction, why guides are not being used correctly, what makes a morse taper implant connection better, to why MegaGen not only come in different sizes and lengths, but why they come in different core sizes and thread sizes. There is SO MUCH implant stuff covered, you don't want to miss it.

GC Initial® LiSi Press is the first lithium disilicate ceramic ingot with High Density Micronization (HDM), a technology unique to GC that provides exceptional physical properties and the most natural, life-like aesthetics. HDM uses equally dispersed lithium disilicate micro-crystals to fill the entire glass matrix rather than using traditional larger size crystals that do not take full advantage of the matrix structure. The result is the ultimate combination of strength and aesthetics, making GC Initial® LiSi Press perfectly suitable for all types of restorations through all levels of transparency. Most importantly, HDM technology helps ensure the product remains extremely stable, without distortion or drop in value, even after multiple firings. For more information call GC America at 800-323-0763 or visit gcamerica.com
