I'm heading out to Roanoke to speak about the lab side of All-On-4 restorations to a new group of doctors.  Ken Parrish of Andvanced Implants & Periodontics wil be the primary instructor.  Nobel Biocare is the sponsor.

Lee and I are heading out to Nashville for a presentation with Keystone about the services we offer for Keystone easyGuide™ software and, more importantly, treatment planning as a whole.

There seems to be a lack of understanding of the advantages of using custom designed implant abutments in restoring single tooth and multi-unit implant supported bridges. I still see request for restorations asking our lab to prep stock abutments for a crown or a bridge and often wonder why the research information about custom abutments is not being disseminated to those who most need it, the restoring dentist.

It’s fall, and this means two things: the leaves are turning and every dental specialist is offering some kind of CE program (I think we co-sponsored three yesterday). I attended one where Dr. Sam Strong from Little Rock Arkansas was the speaker and, as I had expected, I was not disappointed. I have had the privilege of knowing Dr. Strong for many years and have come to think of him as a teacher, mentor and friend. One of the things that I admire most about him is his ability to relate to his audience and make them comfortable with his subject matter. He practices hometown implant dentistry and enjoys what he does and the audience can see that in his lectures.
