Zircon Medical Podcast | For Leading Dental Professionals

 Dentistry is a broad subject involving numerous sub-specialties, most of which need to function together. Managing a dental clinic specializing in numerous specialties can pose certain challenges, especially since it’s not possible for one dentist to specialize in all areas. 

Our team at Zircon Medical recently hosted Dr. Alberto Cunha, the CEO and clinical director of OralMED Saúde in Portugal, on our podcast series to discuss managing multidisciplinary dental clinics.

The dental implant community currently works under the assumption that titanium intolerance and corrosion aren’t real risks to the patient. If there’s a complication or negative reaction, it’s often blamed on the implant technique, prosthetic work, or the patient’s health and lifestyle. There’s an emphasis on selecting the “ideal” patient for dental implants, but only a handful of patients can actually meet the requirements necessary to be “ideal,” and there’s a growing need to focus on dental implants with long-term stability in the “average” patient. 

Our team at Zircon Medical recently hosted Dr. Sofia Karapataki, a world-renowned dentist, periodontologist, and implantologist, on our podcast series to discuss the myth of the “ideal” dental implant patient and the need to shift from titanium to zirconia implants.

In den letzten Jahren hat das Konzept der biologischen Zahnmedizin bei Zahnärzten und Patienten gleichermaßen an Bedeutung gewonnen. Es gibt ein zunehmendes Bewusstsein für die potenziellen Risiken, die mit metallischen Implantaten und Füllungen verbunden sind, und eine wachsende Erkenntnis der grundlegenden Tatsache, dass der menschliche Mund nicht vom ganzen Körper isoliert werden kann. Trotz dieses Bewusstseins und der zunehmenden Evidenz zur Unterstützung von Keramikimplantaten gibt es immer noch eine massive Lücke in der Umsetzung der biologischen Zahnmedizin.

Unser Team von Zircon Medical hat kürzlich Prof. Dr. Marcel Wainwright, Spezialist für biologische Zahnmedizin bei  Integra Biohealth in Luxemburg, in unserer Podcast-Serie eingeladen, um über biologische Zahnheilkunde mit Keramik zu sprechen.

In den letzten Jahren gab es eine zunehmende Bewegung in Richtung biologischer Zahnheilkunde und metallfreier Zahnmedizin. Zahnärzte nehmen allmählich eine ganzheitliche Philosophie für die Zahnpflege an, die den Mund als integrierten Teil des Körpers betrachtet. Sie beginnen auch, sich ausschließlich auf metallfreie Zahnrestaurationen wie Zirkoniumimplantate anstelle von Titanimplantaten zu verlassen. Aber was treibt diesen Wandel an und wird dieser Trend in naher Zukunft wahrscheinlich zum Mainstream werden? 

Dr. Holger Scholz, Inhaber einer Zahnklinik für biologische Zahnheilkunde, kann dieses Phänomen und seine Auswirkungen beleuchten. Unser Team von Zircon Medical interviewte Herr  Dr. Scholz in unserer Podcast-Serie, um über biologische Zahnmedizin, ihre Funktionsweise und ihre zukünftigen Auswirkungen zu sprechen.

 In unserer Gesellschaft ist das Bild und die Wahrnehmung eines Zahnarztes ziemlich festgelegt. Die Idee eines Zahnarztes ist in der Regel mit Reichtum, sozialem Status und anderen solchen Markern verbunden. Dr. Philip Stehling arbeitet jedoch daran, diese Wahrnehmung aktiv herauszufordern und ein authentischeres, fundierteres Bild zu bieten, das für Patienten zugänglicher ist. Er führt seine Zahnklinik auf den Säulen Familie, Freunde und Freiheit und bringt diese Werte in seiner täglichen Arbeit ein. 

Unser Team von Zircon Medical hat kürzlich Dr. Philip Stehling, den Inhaber der Zahnarztpraxis für Implantologie und Oralchirurgie in Neumünster, in unserer Podcast-Serie eingeladen, um über den Wert von Authentizität in einer Zahnarztpraxis zu sprechen.

At this point, it’s clear that metal-free dentistry is the next stage in the evolution of dentistry. Ceramic implants, for example, have already proven to be safer and more effective alternatives to titanium implants. However, the medical community still has a long way to go to truly embrace metal-free dentistry and implantology in all of its forms. 

Our team at Zircon Medical recently hosted Dr. George Pamborides, a member of the International Academy of Ceramic Implantology (IAOCI), on our podcast series to discuss metal-free dentistry and ceramic implantology.

Patients can often be extremely anxious during dental treatments — all dentists are aware of this fact. As such, a huge component of dentistry involves getting patients to trust you and feel comfortable. When it comes to periodontal care, dentists must also inculcate positive dental hygiene habits to prevent periodontal problems in the future. After all, the success of periodontal therapy hinges on the patient’s willingness to maintain optimal oral hygiene. 

Our team at Zircon Medical recently hosted Dr. Ana Cortes on our podcast series to discuss how to make patients comfortable during periodontal treatment.

Dentists must often navigate considerable resistance from their patients, especially since so many dental treatments are preemptive or preventative. Furthermore, patients can’t always see the results of their often painful and expensive treatments, leading to the assumption that they’re being upsold on treatments they don’t need. This creates a massive hurdle for dentists who must impress upon their patients the need for treatment. In order to overcome such hurdles, dentists must change their patients’ perceptions of dentistry. 

Our team at Zircon Medical hosted Dr. Emmanuelle “Emma” Zennie on our podcast series to discuss how to change patients’ perceptions of dentistry for their benefit.

Full-mouth rehabilitation is a complex procedure that necessitates knowledge of multiple disciplines of dentistry, including orthodontics, oral surgery, and prosthodontics. Because of the complexities involved in the procedure, the value of curating a streamlined and dynamic workflow cannot be understated. Dr. Giacomo Armani’s dental clinic follows a multi-disciplinary approach to full-mouth rehabilitation to ensure optimal results and efficiency. 

 Our team at Zircon Medical hosted Dr. Armani on our podcast series to discuss the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to full-mouth rehabilitation and his team’s comprehensive, holistic workflow.

Working with children in the role of a pediatric dentist necessitates a certain temperament — you just have to love kids and be incredibly patient. Being a good dentist is important (of course), but technical skills would only be useful if you can get a child to open their mouth. And that’s perhaps one of the biggest challenges — gaining a child patient’s trust. At least that’s what Dr. Jameela Haq, the pediatric dentist at KU64, says about her work. 

Our team at Zircon Medical recently hosted Dr. Haq on our podcast series to discuss, among other things, how to make a child-friendly space or environment within a dental clinic.
