All on Four

May 17, 2013

Like many dentists I scoffed at teeth in a day and only four implants as being not only bad dentistry but fraudulent. Now that I have seen the science and the technique I am impressed.

Another Radiography Myth

May 6, 2013

I have learned a lot of interesting and rather obscure facts from Doug Yoon. He is the founder and chief scientific mind behind XDR Radiography.

How Many Digital X-ray Sensors Does One Dental Practice Need

April 4, 2013

This week at Dentalcompare: …how did you manage with two hygienists and a dentist all taking radiographs? Didn’t you need a dark room and processor for each of them?

Taking X-rays Off the Wall and by the Hand

March 14, 2013

This week in Dentalcompare, one of my favorite products: The NOMAD, a hand held x-ray unit from Aribex, looks like a big ray gun from an old sci-fi film. There is a body, a pistol grip and a cone or barrel that emits the x-rays. The operator aims the device and holds it steady while [...]

Presenting Ideal Dental Treatment

January 29, 2013

We would all like to believe that humans make decisions based on facts and logic. If we just educate people about what they need, they will do it. Of course it doesn’t work that way at all. If education and telling worked, everyone would floss, no one would smoke and we’d all be at our [...]

Nomad Benefits

January 16, 2013

One of my favorite products is the Nomad handheld x-ray machine. The Nomad is obviously economical and flexible but it is not so obviously a great benefit to certain patients.
