DISC Profile

05.03.18 | by Chris Catalano 2 Comments

I had the fun experience of doing a DISC personality profile with my team recently. We all went online and completed the profile, and then the day of our team meeting a DISC management expert worked with my team remotely over the internet. It was incredible to get to know each other in a deeper way, even though we thought we knew each other well. I think Read More

BeamReaders Radiography Service

04.19.18 | by Chris Catalano Comment

I have been finalizing a complex TMD case and we are ready to restore. For this challenging case, I used BeamReaders. an online service providing a review of diagnostic images by professional radiologists. BeamReaders analyzed the X-rays and helped me confirm that her joints were stable and I had taken bite records in the correct position.  Having them read Read More

Tips & Tricks for Isolite

03.22.18 | by Chris Catalano Comment

I jumped into adhesive dentistry as soon as I graduated from dental school. One of the most critical aspects of the technique is isolation and moisture control. One of my favorite tools is the Isolite, or Isodry. With that said there are some things I have learned about sizing an Isolite or adjusting one for greater effectiveness and patient comfort. These Read More

Two Tips: Impression Taking & Seamfree

02.10.18 | by Chris Catalano Comment

Capturing the posterior of an impression without getting pulls, or missing part of the second molar can be really frustrating. I will share how to use inexpensive paper tape from the drugstore to create a post dam on impression trays. We are often coached not to "wet" our composite instruments as we create seams, or layers of unfilled resin and weaken the Read More

Remembering A Mentor

01.19.18 | by Chris Catalano Comment

This last week I lost one of my mentors in dentistry and in life. These occasions are always times of sadness, but also joy as we reflect back on the life of the person we just lost. Lou inspired me to be a dentist, but more then that he inspired me to give back and reach for all I can do. Read More

Angular Cheilitis

12.15.17 | by Chris Catalano Comment

Angular Cheilitis is caused by a fungus, and can be very frustrating for dental patients and for us. Sometimes it can be isolated as red patches at the corners of the mouth, but other times it can spread down onto the chin and even onto the neck. Dealing with it in a quick and efficient way is important. We'll look at what not to recommend and the Rx that Read More

Airway Centric Orthodontics

11.28.17 | by Chris Catalano Comment

I recently attended a conference on the use of CBCT in orthodontic diagnosis and therapy.  I was blown away by the change that assessing airway is having on orthodontic recommendations and therapy in children. Inadequate airway is linked with narrow palates, tooth crowding and other ortho challenges. CBCT allows for airway diagnosis and for more Read More

The Power of The Tongue Part 4

10.26.17 | by Chris Catalano Comment

Side view of a tongue with raspberry

To conclude our series on the tongue this video will look at the role it plays in TMD. When I first learned this I was a bit skeptical, but then the facts began to line up. For example when a patient tongue thrusts the joint pressure increases. If someone does this  chronically it can contribute to breakdown in the joint space. The tongue also plays a role Read More
