  <description>&lt;p&gt;What a terrible week for our world, country, and industry. More and more states enacted the "Stay-at-Home" mandate and dentist seeing only emergency patients, the labs are getting next to no work. We hear every day of layoffs, Furloughs, and closings. It is sad but at the same time important that when the COVID-19 virus starts to "die off", that we are more than ready to get back to being the growing industry that we were just a few months ago. To update us of what the dental laboratory industry needs to know is once again Bennett Napier from the NADL.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://nadl.org/news/#n1248" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;COVID-19 Safety and Infection Control Guidance for Dental Laboratories Webinar &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To keep a sense of normalcy in our lives, we continue with the original conversations we were going to bring you.  This week brings three interviews we got at the Voices of Dentistry thanks to our good friends at &lt;a href="http://www.kettenbachusa.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Kettenbach&lt;/a&gt;.  First us is Dr. Brad Mattison who talks about his practice, his relationship with his labs, and tools he uses to communicate with them. Then we are joined by Chris Felix from &lt;a href="https://www.bluelightanalytics.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;BlueLight Analytics&lt;/a&gt; who talks about how curing lights in the office and in your lab might be why some remakes happen. Then we talk to Kristin Jensen from &lt;a href="https://goenova.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Enova Illumination&lt;/a&gt; who gives us ideas for lights and lopes in the lab.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Have you tried &lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Whip Mix&lt;/a&gt;’s &lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/products/vericore-zr-pro/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Vericore ZR Pro&lt;/a&gt; zirconia discs yet? They not only produce very natural looking crowns and bridges, but they are very strong, at 1,140 megapascals. When it comes to zirconia use in dentistry, high strength and excellent esthetics is the endgame. Their top-of-the-line zirconia provides you with an ideal level of both value and chroma, which translates into desirable esthetics that closely mimic that of natural dentition. So, if you want to give your dentists something that is sure to win praise, send them your beautiful zirconia restorations made from Whip Mix’s Vericore ZR Pro. You can purchase the 98mm discs from your dealer or order directly online from shop.whipmix.com.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Special Guests: Bennett Napier, Chris Felix, Dr. Bradford Mattison, and Kristin Jensen .&lt;/p&gt;
