Clint had to take an unexpected trip to Gainsville, Florida, and attend a dental board meeting. He learned some pearls he thought he should share to help listeners avoid any potential trouble in the future.

Russell also shares going to the new Implant Pathways center in Arizona and how rad it is.

In summation to avoid problems with a dental board:

1) Shit’s gonna happen

2) Document, document, document

3) Contact your patient and show concern; document that you contacted your patient

4) Be honest—with your patient, your lawyer, in your notes, in your testimony to the board. Honesty is the best policy.

5) Refer when indicated. Referring and documenting that you referred can go a long way.

Russ talks with Dr. Andrew Ip from Sydney, Australia.  Andrew is a second generation dentist who works in both his mom's practice and his dad's practice and teaches CAD-CAM dentistry as well.  We talk for the hour about what it is like to practice in a former British colony as well where the technology is taking us.  It is a cool discussion.

This week Russ talks with Dr Jeff Hoos who create the H&H technique.  He also runs the Dental Insights Facebook group and own a rather large office with 4 other dentists.  We talk about his career since he graduated in 1978 as well as how stuff has changed and go on various topics.  We end the conversation talking about Dentapreg as well which he likes.

This week Russ and Clint talk with Sam Katacic VP of Sales for Rapidshape.   We talk at length about the changes in the market for 3d resins and how automation is driving a lot of changes.  Rapidshape has validated over 200 resins on their platform and has processes to ensure that each print is routine and predictable.  This is really nice especially if you have staff turnover, it is easy to train new employees to your resin. Also Russ gets pretty excited to hear about their curing unit which doesn't need N2 to cure but rather uses a vacuum.  He will be looking into that product for sure.   If you want to learn more about Rapidshape, go to Rapidshape.de.
