Voices from The Bench

There are many online groups for dental technicians. Very few of them have had a profound impact in such a short amount of time. Jeffry Tobon from DesignLab Dental and Sander Polanco from FMR Prosthetic Center saw a need for good quality education for all technicians no matter what software or systems they use. That is when they created Digital Dental Craftsmen, an online platform that allows instructors from around the globe to reach technicians of all skill levels. Jeffry and Sander talk about how they got into the industry, how they met and came up with the idea, why they created Digital Dental Craftsmen, how they find their instructors, and what exciting platform they are working on next. Stay up-to-date on DDC World at Digital Dental Craftsmen and their FaceBook page Whip Mix is very excited to announce the new PRO 4K large format 3D printer from Asiga.

This week we bring you three conversations we got while at the biggest event in our industry. First up are two last-year students of the IU Fort Wayne Dental Technology program. Bob Martin and Samuel Kenchanh come on to talk about why they signed up for the program, what it's like, and where they plan on going after graduation. THEN we talk to Gloria Brown.

Elvis and Barb wrap up the conversation they got while at the Vision 21 meeting from Las Vegas back in January. Elvis met Jesse Flor who owns a laboratory in California that has become a 100% digital lab, but also with his background working for DSOs has also opened up a few dental practices. His ownership of both has given him an interesting perspective into both fields. Then Elvis talks to two of the four participants who were on stage during the “Fireside Chat” about second generation lab owners. Michael Farago and Dory Sartoris both took a path in life that originally had them doing something other than the family lab. But they have now taken a leadership roll in their lab and are killing it by bringing non-bench-technician experiences into the workflow.

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 Guest: Erin Popov RG, CDT, TE.

Barb is back with Elvis to bring you two more interviews from the Whip Mix Digital Forum. VFTB loves when families work together. Joining us first is Allie and Mark Williamson CDTs. They met in a lab and still work together after all these years. Allie has "graduated" to become an educator at Ottawa Dental Lab and is doing what every lab wishes they could do. They talk about the program, encouraging technicians to become CDTS, and life in and out of the lab. Next they are joined by Reed Nunnally, CEO of Derby Dental Lab. Reed talks about taking over for his dad and growing up in a different way than most 2nd generation owners. He also dives into why and how he turned his lab into one of the early leaders with clear aligners.
