Guest: Dr. Isaac Tawil Release Date: 1/24/24 |
One of the common procedures we do as dentists is remove teeth. And for most us, it's a fairly routine procedure. But with more research on the topic of tooth extraction and the extraction site itself, and how it all relates to implants, we're learning that minimizing the trauma to the surgical site is of utmost importance. To tell us more about this is Dr. Isaac Tawil. Dr Tawil received his Diplomate from the International Academy of Dental Implantology. He is a graduate of NYU Dental School and practices in Brooklyn NY.

Guest: Dr. Miles Cone Release Date: 1/3/24 |
Only a year ago, Dr. Miles Cone, a respected prosthodontist and educator, made the big leap from analog to digital dentistry. It could be argued that he's entered the game a little late, but for years he resisted, based on a number of preconceived ideas about the kind of practice that actually needs and should have a digital dental practice. But once he entered into digital dentistry, everything changed. To tell us about his journey, why it happened and how it completely transformed his life is our guest, Dr Miles Cone. In addition to achieving board certification within his specialty of prosthodontics, Dr. Cone is also a Certified Dental Technician. He currently has a boutique practice in Portland Maine where he works closely with his wife Cornelia who is the office manager as well as his close advisor regarding many aspects of the practice.

Guest: Dr. Todd Engel Release Date: 12/18/23 |
The advantage of piezo-surgery is multi-faceted. It's ideal for minimizing patient discomfort following virtually all oral surgery procedures. It many cases it obviates the need to create a surgical flap, helps protect adjacent teeth and restorations during extractions, precisely cuts hard tissue while precluding injury to soft tissue. When cutting, it produces negligible heat which is critical in maintaining vitality of adjacent tissue. And these are just a few of the major advantages of using piezo technology in oral surgery and periodontics. To tell us all about it is our guest Dr. Todd Engel. Dr. Engel has extensive experience in Dental Implants, CT Guided Surgical Design, and Complex Treatment Planning as well as Full Mouth Rehabilitation. He established the Engel Institute, located in Charlotte, NC, which focuses on live patient education with topics ranging from implant placement, grafting, and full arch conversion surgery. The Institute's implant courses have been taught across US and its alumni consists of well over 12,000 dental professionals.

Guest: Ms. Adrienne Frachtman Release Date: 6/7/23 |
Thanks for joining us. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. In the US, in 2022, there were about 11,000 dental school applicants and of those, 6,300 enrolled as a freshman dental student. So essentially, last year, 57% of applicants ended up going to a US dental school. For most of them, their path was pretty predictable... finish college and go straight to dental school. But for some, their decision to apply to dental school happened years later... and only after realizing that their current career, completely different from dentistry, was not what they wanted to do for the rest of their working life. Today we'll be talking to one such dental school applicant hoping to start in 2024. Her name is Adrienne Frachtman, a young lady who already has a career in the health science field and is determined to pursue her dream of becoming a dentist. And I might add that of the more than 450 episodes that we've produced on this show since 2018,, this will be the first time we've talked with a dental school applicant.

Guest: Ms. Shannon Pace Brinker, CDA Release Date: 2/7/22 |
Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. While many use the words cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing interchangeably – they're not quite the same. For instance, cleaning removes visible dirt, soil, and debris but does not disinfect. Disinfecting eliminates bacteria, fungi, and certain viruses but disinfecting does not clean or remove dirt. And finally, Sanitizing reduces the number of germs on surfaces or objects to a safe level but does not fully eliminate them. Today we'll be discussing these areas and how we use common sense knowledge to make wise decisions to protect ourselves, our team, and our practice. Our guest, Shannon Pace Brinker, is an International Speaker, Author and Dental Assistant for over 32 years.
