Register today!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you see a tooth, what do you think? Some notice its shape. Some notice its Vita shade equivalent. This week’s guest notices the amount of moss, raspberry, and midnight is in it. Amanda Carson was always an artist. She even got two degrees in it. But after finding out about dental labs and visiting one for only one day. She was hooked. It wasn’t long before she realized that her skills are best used in ceramics and that is when she discovered &lt;a href="https://miyoworld.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;MIYO&lt;/a&gt;. Amanda takes the time to explain how she uses this oddly colorfully named system and even dumbs it down so Elvis can understand. Now she’s teaching others how to apply MIYO and has partnered up with a dentist to create a dental lab where she can control the communication and quality she h always wanted to put out.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;There are not many accredited schools left. They lack funds and enrollment. One school seems to be doing pretty good and they are positive about the future. While at the Eastern Conference of Dental Laboratories in Concord, NC, Elvis got to talk to three people associated with the program to get some different perspectives. First up is Erin Popov CDT who got into the industry via the school, graduated, and then came back to be an instructor. During the conversation, current student Jill Adams sits down to talk about why she signed up for the program and what she hopes to do with the knowledge after graduation. Then Elvis is joined by the 2020 NADL Educator of the Year award winner Greg Walton CDT who heads up the whole dental technology program at Durham Technical Community College. Greg went through the program, opened his own lab, and came back to help make the program what it is today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://lmtmag.com/lmtlabday" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;LMT Lab Day Chicago 2020&lt;/a&gt; is only a few weeks away and Elvis and Barb have partnered with &lt;a href="https://www.argen.com/#/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Argen&lt;/a&gt; to reach as many people at the show as possible. Come to the &lt;a href="https://lmtmag.com/static/pdfs/LDC_MAPS2020.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Argen booth in the East Tower, booth I16/I17&lt;/a&gt; to chat with us and be on the podcast!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.argen.com/chicago-midwinter#/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;And don't forget about Argen's amazing speaker line up in their new lecture room at the Grand Ballroom CD North located at Gold Level, East Tower.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;March 26 – 28 Dental Laboratory Association Texas Conference – Grapevine, Tx&lt;br&gt;
Last year was a huge success and we loved this show. We are back this year at the &lt;a href="https://www.argen.com/#/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;ARGEN&lt;/a&gt; booth recording all weekend long. If you are in the area, attend. If you are not in the area, you should still think about attending. It’s worth it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thursday March 26, the good people at &lt;a href="https://www.alienmilling.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Alien Milling&lt;/a&gt; is hosting a evening event to kick of the DLAT Conference. We will be at Top Golf for fun, drinks, and podcasting. That’s right, we will be recording at the event. How fun is that!  If you are going to the DLAT conference, don’t wait.

&lt;h3&gt;Are you excited about Chicago Lab day? &lt;a href="https://www.nowakdental.com/nowak/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt; Nowak Dental&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="https://www.nowakdigital.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Nowak Digital&lt;/a&gt; are!  Their lab specialists will be at the East Tower booth B-47 &amp;amp; their Digital specialists will be at the new West tower V-2.  Stop by both booths to learn about all of their offerings and to find out for yourself why Nowak is the first dealer name customers ask for.  Also, by popular demand, each location will be serving our famous King Cake Vodka shots one hour before the closing of the show EACH DAY! So don’t forget to visit Nowak Dental at both exhibit halls during Lab Day Chicago. And we thank you for your continued support of the podcast.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Few things create more interest today than the Digital Denture. &lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Whip Mix&lt;/a&gt; has developed a processing system for printed dentures, which uses &lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/products/dentca/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Dentca&lt;/a&gt;, 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&lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/products/asiga-max/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt; Asiga printers&lt;/a&gt; and the convenience of curing with a &lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/products/uvitron-uv-sunray-400-curing-unit/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Uvitron UV light&lt;/a&gt;, results in fewer dentist visits, predictable fit, re-printable data files, lower costs and excellent intraoral denture performance.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;To learn how to create your own Digital Denture, check the &lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Whip Mix&lt;/a&gt; website for their Digital Denture courses and for more information about the system.&lt;/h3&gt;

    <![CDATA[<p>There are not many accredited schools left. They lack funds and enrollment. One school seems to be doing pretty good and they are positive about the future. While at the Eastern Conference of Dental Laboratories in Concord, NC, Elvis got to talk to three people associated with the program to get some different perspectives. First up is Erin Popov CDT who got into the industry via the school, graduated, and then came back to be an instructor. During the conversation, current student Jill Adams sits down to talk about why she signed up for the program and what she hopes to do with the knowledge after graduation. Then Elvis is joined by the 2020 NADL Educator of the Year award winner Greg Walton CDT who heads up the whole dental technology program at Durham Technical Community College. Greg went through the program, opened his own lab, and came back to help make the program what it is today.</p>
