"I went down there (Puerto Rico) thinking, 'Ok, I'm gonna be really good at sinus augmentations because I'm gonna learn it with Hilt Tatum.' And he developed a technique, as everybody knows, and my mind was blown once I got there," – Dr. Keith Long.

For brothers, Drs. Keith and Hank Long, strong roots go beyond pearly whites—it's what connects them in their careers. As practice partners, the duo furthered their education by studying under the famous Dr. Hilt Tatum at the Puerto Rico MaxiCourse®. After implementing their research into their practice, they dramatically reduced post-op complications and pain in their patients. They were so intrigued by the wealth of knowledge that they decided to take Dr. Tatum's course again.

Listen to this episode of the AAID Podcast to find out about an highly successful bone grafting technique that has been around since the 1980s, how to balance running a practice while furthering your education, and some fun brotherly love along the way.

Recorded live from the 2018 Annual Conference in Dallas, TX by Dr. Danny Domingue.

"Go to courses early. The sooner you learn these techniques properly, the sooner the rate of return." – Dr. Cheryl Pearson

Going digital for a full arch case can still be a challenge even with today's technology. Dr. Cheryl Pearson shares her techniques for using guides, getting the bite, and the challenge of anatomical landmarks on an edentulous cast.

"All of our speakers were like, hey here's my cell. You need something, call me. And that's the kind of camaraderie in an organization that's priceless. I've never heard of that anywhere else."

"Doctor Dad," or as the AAID knows him, Dr. Jay Elliot, has had a profound influence on his daughter, Kallie, and her husband, Kyle—both of whom are dentists.

Dr. Domingue interviews dental regenerative therapy experts, Drs. Kevin Frawley, Craig Heinen, and Chase White at the Voices of Dentistry conference. This quick-witted quartet revels in past practices of implant dentistry, specifically with IMZ implants, and compares them to the methods of today. They warn young dentists to avoid clutching to the newest, flashiest procedures, and instead, to have a basic comprehension of all the techniques so they "have all the tools in their quiver."

Because in the end, you can't beat or cheat biology.
