9 Dr. DiTolla’s Clinical Tips
In this issue, I highlight two useful resources for
boosting your practice: a new dentist-conceived
app that is a must-have for the dental office, and a
subscription-based dental coding search engine
pioneered by Dr. Charles Blair that will help you
eliminate costly coding errors and recover lost revenue.
Also featured are LuxaBite from DMG America, my
bite material of choice for its high degree of stiffness
and accuracy; and Ultradent’s UltraCem, the first
liquid-powder RRGI cement that can be mixed and
delivered through a syringe.
14 Photo Essay: The Pursuit of BruxZir
Anterior Esthetics
As Glidewell Laboratories works to improve the esthetic
properties of BruxZir Solid Zirconia, it continues to
test what the lab can do with this increasingly popular
restorative material. This photo essay illustrates our
latest anterior case where we replaced an endodontically
treated tooth #8 and an existing PFM on tooth #9 with
BruxZir crowns. After viewing the case, I think you
will see that BruxZir is closer than ever to becoming a
strong contender for esthetic anterior crowns & bridges.
36 One-on-One with Dr. Michael DiTolla:
Interview of Dr. Dan Fischer
For this issue’s featured interview, I checked in with
dental innovator and Ultradent CEO Dr. Dan Fischer
to hear about his company’s latest research and how
his search for a cure for dental caries is coming along.
Give it a read to find out how the company developed
its new liquid-powder RRGI cement, the differences
between powder-liquid and paste-paste cements, and
what led to the company becoming the exclusive distributor
of Triodent products in the U.S.
45 Scannable Abutments:
Digital Impressions for Dental Implants
In this article, Dr. Carlos Boudet aims to increase awareness
of scannable abutments that can be used with
chairside digital impression systems to capture digital
impressions for implant restorations. He demonstrates
the simplicity of this relatively new modality in a case
where he uses one of Glidewell Laboratories’ Inclusive
Scanning Abutments and a widely used digital impression
system to restore a popular brand of dental implant.
