About this Episode

Back in September, Elvis and Barb attended the DTG Symposium that was held in the GC America facility in Alsip, Illinois. Such an amazing meeting filled with fantastic people. This week we start the collection of wonderful conversations. First up we talk to two talented technicians that are killing it in a in-office lab and they only graduated from New York City Tech in 2019! Erika Ramirez and Marjola Paloka are two of the three techs that are creating smiles at Gdental in New York City. From patient treatment planning to waxing and pressing emax to milling zirconia, these two are doing more than most technicians do in a full service lab.... while having too much fun along the way. Then we get some amazing updates from past podcast guest, Beatrice Robichaud from Panthera. Beatrice comes on to talk about the Panthera Master Cup (this was from before the winner was announced), magnets, an amazing new way to easily get a titanium bar under your full arch zirconia restorations. Titanium bar makes for less breakage under 8mm of space!
