A HUGE thanks to Jensen Dental for allowing Elvis to go to one of the greatest regional shows left, the https://www.fdla.net/ Southern States Symposium & Expo.

First up we meet two "newish" technicians in our industry. From Alaska to Florida, Savannah Jones taught herself exocad and is now doing removable work at DCS Dental Lab. Gabriel Jimenez was working at Walmart when he found a dental office that had an in-office lab and it wasn't long before he too found himself at DCS Dental Lab. They talk about their journey, learning new things, and what they think of their first dental show.

Then a blast from WAY back comes on to update us on all things Tom Zaleske. Tom was on episode 16 (if you can believe it)! He talks about his journey to become a one person removable technician working out of his house, getting into speaking and what he speaks on, and some thoughts on the future of dental labs.

Then we wrap up the episode with another past podcast guest, Josh Williams. Josh is at GPS Digital RPD where they are killing it at printing metal frameworks. He talks about their growth, the process of fabrication, and how easy it is to get them a case.

Sit back and enjoy the sounds of live "in-person" conversations.

Few things create more interest today than the Digital Denture. Whip Mix has developed a processing system for printed dentures, which uses Dentca, the first 3D-printed denture and denture teeth resins to receive FDA clearance. Their physical properties and biocompatibility pass FDA requirements and enable the printed denture properties to be very similar to conventional dentures. The material, coupled with fast and easy 3D-printing with Asiga printers and the convenience of curing with a Uvitron UV light, results in fewer dentist visits, predictable fit, re-printable data files, lower costs and excellent intraoral denture performance.

To learn how to create your own Digital Denture, check the Whip Mix website for their Digital Denture courses and for more information about the system.

Special Guests: Cade Tippett, CDT, Fernando Sanchez, Jr. CDT, Gary Osborn CDT, Marlin Gohn CDT, and Spencer Watkins.

First up is Dennis Urban CDT from Dental Services Group who is also the Chairperson on the National Board of Certification (NBC). Dennis talks about getting his CDT, finding the motivation to get on the board to promote it, and what the NBC is doing to make sure technicians still have the opportunity to get certified during these difficult times.

Then we talk to Sean Siegel from Castable Ceramics (also the Chairperson of the Foundation of Dental Laboratory Technology) and Shawn Nowak from Nowak Dental Supplies (also the Fiscal Officer of the Foundation). They give us an update on the Foundation, all the grants and scholarships that are available, and how the Foundation plans on being stronger than ever once we get back to normal.

Whip Mix has developed VeriSplint OS, a popular 3D printed resin that is rigid, durable and affordable. This popular resin was the first 510K accepted splint material that is transparent, biocompatible and polishes to a high, clear shine.

All of this, and a low cost, averaging between $5.00 - $6.00 per splint.

If you’d like more information about VeriSplint OS, visit Whip Mix’s website at whipmix.com or call the 800-626-5651.

Special Guests: Dennis Urban CDT, Sean Siegel, and Shawn Nowak.

Elvis and Barb take a break from interviewing to record today’s episode showcasing interviews we did back at LMT Lab Day Chicago. This is the first time we recorded face-to-face for an individual episode and what a great and important episode to do it for. We are joined by a couple of guys who have dedicated a lot of work and time to move up on the three boards that Barb and Elvis feel so passionate about.
