We start off talking with our neighbor from the exhibit hall Jimmy Ruiz from Aurident. Known for their alloy, Aurident is heavy into CAD/CAM and Jimmy tells us all about his role and what they had at Lab Day.

Then we talk to a voiceover professional Jonathan Thompson from WorkNC Open Source Dental Software. We talk with him about how a lab can use Open Source to simplify and streamline your lab’s CAD/CAM software.

Check out a the commercial for the St. Paul public library he mentions during the interview!

Episode 21: The Denturist Movement: A Removable Profession of Specialist - Interview Part 1 (VFTB21)

Elvis Dahl & Barb Warner — Mon, 20 Aug 2018 04:00:00 -0400

Joining Elvis and Barb are two Licensed Denturist, Patrick Allen and Todd Young, to discuss an aspect of our industry that is both fascinating and not well known to the public.

From Patrick Allen:

The NDA and MLDA provide a resource to educate the general public about the denturist profession. Both of these organizations serve their members with continuing education and professional development opportunities as well as focusing on the growth and expansion of the profession. The NDA hosts a fall conference each year in Las Vegas and the MLDA hosts an annual conference at the beginning of June in Bangor, ME.

Denturism is regulated in 6 states currently – Maine, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and Arizona and with the demand for dentures growing by the day and the access to quality care struggling to keep pace, the conditions are becoming rapidly favorable for the expansion of the profession. This is an incredible opportunity for the skilled dental technicians out there to expand their knowledge and take an even greater role the prosthetic treatment process.
