Getting Organized

Posted on: 08.05.17 | by Eric Jones

The launch of the new school year and helping my kids gather and organize school supplies, made the unorganized nature of my office at work an obvious spot for improvement. Some research resulted in a great strategy for organization an optimizing effectiveness. Box number one is for the things that don't belong at work, and need to be taken home. Box 2 is Read More

Now There are Twelve!

Posted on: 06.01.17 | by Eric Jones

In the third part of my series on my top sixteen dental products we'll focus on techniques to pick up locators for a lower denture. I look at using teflon tape to block out when doing doing a pick up for locators. I also share a technique to guarantee you have enough space for the locator in the denture base before you do the pick up.  We'll then leave Read More

Implants: What Are My Goals?

Posted on: 03.07.17 | by Eric Jones

In my last curator journal I talked about starting with why. Continuing that thought process in the realm of implant dentistry prompted me to ask myself "What am I trying to accomplish?". A recent case demonstrated this, as the lab caught that my "routine prescription" for a screw retained crown wouldn't be possible based on fixture position. I had to go Read More

The Most Important Question

Posted on: 02.07.17 | by Eric Jones

As a follow-up for my last curator journal I continue looking at the thought process behind two anterior implant abutments that snapped off. Based on some follow-up questions after the last post I realized that before discussing the different abutments and materials I have to think about "Why?" I chose what I did in this case. Sometimes we do the same things Read More

Oh Snap!!

Posted on: 01.12.17 | by Eric Jones

I'm still thinking about failure. I had a patient call and say "my dental implant fell out". It turns out she had fractured off two of the abutments. Thinking through what led to this technical failure is important. Saving model work for these cases and having an easy way to recover and create new provisionals is another important learning moment.
