This week Russ and Clint talk with Wayne Glassoff who is a dental technology consultant and runs Dental Print Solutions where he sells and supports multiple CAD/CAM systems. Wayne was one of Sprintray's original employees and has more or less seen it all in the 3d printing space. We talk about the current technology coming out from IDS in Cologne, Germany and stuff that has just been released. We talk about the pros and cons of all the stuff coming out and what is exciting and less exciting.
This week Russ and Clint talk to Dr. Trent McCord out of Northwest Arkansas. Trent runs Mint For More out of his office with the goal of providing more dentures and extractions for no charge to patients in need. We talk about his process and how he got started doing his non-profit. It is a pretty cool story.
Also Russell mentions low cost sectional matrix bands from Russia that Nate Lawson recommended.
This week Russ and Clint talk with Dr. Shant Aharonian from Burbank, California. Shant runs a small cosmetic focused office that emphasizes 3d printing. We discuss printing and milling and smile design. Shant teaches on smile design through photography and how to communicate with both patients and with labs using photography. Also Shant will be giving a One Hour Webinar for Free CE through Hass Bio on the Amber Mill.

This week Russ and Clint talk with Dr. Melissa Zettler out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. We talk about the fun of running a dental office in a state that likes to tax you on your gross income (like MN), managing staff (especially when you hygienist goes crazy), and trying to get AACD credentials. We finish off with the importance of being consistent.
Russ and Clint talk with Baron Grutter this week. Baron is a dentist out of Michigan who while doing all things bread and butter loves technology and teaching. He also recently created two one day online classes Blue Sky Bio. One focuses on ortho and the other focuses on surgical guides. Both classes can be found on this Blue Sky University which is also where Russell's class is found. Baron's class is more polished than Russell's but that is just how Baron rolls.
In our podcast, we talk about Midwinter and Lab Day and how Lab Day is clearly superior to Midwinter. We also talk about 3d printing and why so many more dentists are getting into the lab space and doing their own lab work. Also we talk about why Baron is not going to be 3d printing aligners anytime soon.
