Totally Oral Podcast

John Madden [https://www.instagram.com/disruptivedentistry/] joins Russell [https://www.noladentures.com/] and Clinton [https://www.bludentalwellness.com/] to talk about his digital removable lab, John Madden Prosthetics, and his goal to create a lab that is 100% digital.  John also teaches of the University of Minnesota and has yet to smash a student's poured up impression in front of him or her. This is another benefit of going digital.  Listen and hear all the adventures of being a lab tech in the Upper Midwest.

This week Russ and Clint interview Dr. Steven Shao from California who just loves technology.  The man finds any excuse to bring his Midas anywhere and talk about it including to Japanese customs agents.  We talk about his experience trying to bridge R&D and sales and end users (i.e. dentists) experience at Sprintray and where he thinks the next generation of materials will go.

Ben Walsh from ZyloDent [https://www.zylo3d.com/] joins Russell [https://www.noladentures.com/] and Clint [https://fuckyeahteeth.com/] to talk about the new all-in-one 3D printing hitting the market soon, the ZyloEdge.   Listen and find out if the ZyloEdge [https://www.jotform.com/form/250206343020034] is the next piece of equipment for your office!

This week Russ and Clint talk with Wayne Glassoff who is a dental technology consultant and runs Dental Print Solutions [https://www.dentalprintsolutions.com/] where he sells and supports multiple CAD/CAM systems.  Wayne was one of Sprintray's original employees and has more or less seen it all in the 3d printing space.  We talk about the current technology coming out from IDS in Cologne, Germany and stuff that has just been released.  We talk about the pros and cons of all the stuff coming out and what is exciting and less exciting.

This week Russ and Clint talk to Dr. Trent McCord out of Northwest Arkansas.  Trent runs Mint For More [https://www.mintformorenwa.org/] out of his office with the goal of providing more dentures and extractions for no charge to patients in need.  We talk about his process and how he got started doing his non-profit.  It is a pretty cool story.   Also Russell mentions low cost sectional matrix bands from Russia [https://www.amazon.com/Dental-Sectional-Contoured-Matrices-Matrix/dp/B07R5J85YZ] that Nate Lawson recommended.
