Conversation with a GP who finishes around 1000 endos / year for decades: Me: If any new grads asks  1. how long did it take for you to to be this good at endo?  2. How long after graduation did you start doing molar endo? GP: I was not taught to do molar endo in Europe at all, only anteriors and bicuspids. If someone came in with an infected molar, it was automatic extraction, which always made me sad. It took me many years to get good at endo, but not because endo is so hard. Because we are taught a super complicated, inefficient and risky way of doing endo. We are taught to use many hand files and introduce many large stiff rotary files into the canals. This is very time consuming, risky and destroys the delicate apical anatomy. Many people ask me how come I have so many cases with extreme curvatures, accessory canals, bifurcations and deltas. It’s because I don’t use larger than #20 files,  ..... With this technique most molar endo takes 15-20 minutes including access prep to complete obturation. Cheers.

Achieve Seamless Beauty in Your Medical Device 🏥 ✨ One often overlooked advantage of dip molding? No parting lines! This results in a smooth, seamless finish that can be crucial for certain applications. (And crucial for impressing stakeholders, too!) Just remember that your mandrel design is critical for success. Ensure large radii to better facilitate de-molding, and leave extra space at the top to secure it during dipping. We designed this mandrel for an all-in-one, seamless, neonatal CPAP cannula. Dip molding was the perfect simple solution for this complex medical device. Curious about how dip molding could elevate your next project? Let's discuss! #MedTech #DesignForManufacturing #DFM #MedicalDevice

This changes my SRP game- here's why. The love hate relationship I have with SRP's and trying to maintain my 70%- Ultrasonics v. 30% Hand instrumentation rule. Comment "HVE info" below and I'll dm you the product info. Often feeling like I'm juggling multiple suctions and what once was my go to, struggling to have indirect vision. I was pleasantly surprised when the HVE Connect by @hufriedygroup was recently released. Am I alone or have you also felt like you need more hands when juggling the high-volume suction, mirror, and instrument all at once? Some feedback I've heard is that RDH's are avoiding the use of an HVE all together because of how challenging it is to balance all the things we need to hold. The HVE Mirror Connect changes the game by simplifying standard two-handed dentistry into a more comfortable two-handed approach. Tailored to work seamlessly with a #5 double-sided mouth mirror, this device offers incredible visibility while incorporating a high-volume evacuator with a unique lacrosse-style mouth providing a wide borehole opening. It optimizes suction and angulation, improving visibility without sacrificing handling and technique.

Ready to demystify implant restorations? Want to learn a step-by-step approach? That’s exactly what Kerin got when he took part in our Implant Restorative Course. Here's exactly what he told us about his experience: "The Hands-on Implant Restorative course was truly invaluable for me. Getting hands-on experience in restoring implants with PVS and scan body was a game-changer. The course provided clear insights into the intricacies of designing an implant crown. Dr. Yohan Thomas shared practical, actionable information that demystified the restoration process. If you're venturing into implant restoration and seeking a structured, step-by-step approach, I highly recommend attending this course." - Dr Kerin Jacobs, SA Spots are limited.
