 The old saying that “no chain is stronger than its weakest link” is certainly true in dentistry. When working with crown and bridge, one of the primary complaints from dentists to dental technicians is that “the occlusion was high and it took a long time to adjust it clinically.”1 The restorative process for an indirect restoration includes many steps that, when not carefully executed, can contribute to this problem. 

How to prepare a strong, reliable temporary

Current laboratory surveys and past data collected indicate that between 70-80 percent of the cases received are for single-unit crown and bridge prostheses.

UPDATE: The event, originally scheduled for this week, has been cancelled. Information about rescheduling the course is not yet available. 

The Nash Institute for Dental Learning has established a new campus in Colts Neck, New Jersey this year at the Institute for Advanced Dental Education (IADE) Center, and plans to present the comprehensive 2-day, hands-on program “Full Mouth Reconstruction: High-Tech, High-Touch”.

The 16 CEU course was to be held at the Institute of Advanced Dental Education (IADE) located in Colts Neck, on July 19-20. The IADE was recently designated as an authorized Nash Institute for Dental Learning affiliate and as such, will serve as the Nash Institute’s New Jersey Campus.

This course is a great opportunity for dentists, lab technicians and team members in the New York/New Jersey area to learn full mouth reconstruction best practices from the Nash Institute for Dental Learning faculty, which includes Debra Engelhardt-Nash, Ross W. Nash, DDS, FAACD,

Terry Watson, DMD, Anthony Vocutaro, DDS, AAACD, ASDA, FACE, FAGD, FIADFE, Ryan LePore, DMD, and Gil Villavecer, chief marketing officer at Frontier Dental Laboratories.

During this comprehensive and interactive program, participants will review the latest concepts of occlusion and smile design as they apply to full mouth reconstruction cases. It will feature a small class size designed to provide for personalized hands-on training to be provided by the instructors.

The Nash Institute for Dental Learning in Huntersville, North Carolina, continues to offer hands-on and AGD-approved courses in Direct Composite Dentistry, Indirect Esthetic Dentistry and Full Mouth Esthetic Rejuvenation. Additionally, practice enhancement is a component of all the programs and special classes like Dental Business School are offered for dentists and team members.

Nash Institute to Present Full Mouth Reconstruction Course July 19-20

This fun holiday slideshow was popular with our readers last summer so we're bringing it back again for this year's holiday.

It’s the Fourth of July week and picnics and BBQs are everywhere, which means there will usually be plenty of food and drink for everyone. While holidays can be tricky when it comes to not overindulging, it can help to know a little about what is and is not best to consume, as well as advice on what not to try and do when you misplace your bottle opener.

Here’s a look at 6 things you should be aware of to help your oral health heading into the July 4 holiday.

Productive Dentist Academy (PDA) has announced the launch of the Clinical Calibration Institute which will kick off at the firm’s annual conference coming up in September.

The groundbreaking educational program is designed to bridge the gap between academic clinical knowledge and real-world patient care for associate dentists and doctor owners. The inaugural Clinical Calibration Institute will get underway at the 20th Anniversary PDA Conference, September 12-14, at the Hyatt Regency, in Frisco, Texas, and run concurrently with the PDA Conference. Thereafter, the program will run in four-month courses.

The Clinical Calibration Institute looks to transform how clinicians, associates, and their teams approach patient engagement and case acceptance. Participants will learn from some of the nation’s most productive dentists and industry experts, compressing years of experience into an efficient and effective interactive program.

“We’ve identified a critical need in the dental profession,” says PDA Co-founder Dr. Bruce B. Baird in a press release. “Many associate dentists struggle to translate their clinical skills into successful patient interactions. Our program addresses and solves this challenge head-on by providing practical skills that can double a dentist’s productivity within 6 to 12 months.”

The leading dental practice management, coaching, and marketing firm last week announced the clinical course offerings which include: Team Calibration of Diagnostic Tools, Team Calibration to AAP Perio Standards, Advanced Oral-Systemic Certification Courses, Associate Doctor Mentorship Programs and more.

The following institute sponsors are committed to advancing dental education and practice: Ripe Global, AcceptCare, Glidewell, CariFree, Overjet, iTero, PerioProtect, Align, and Yomi.

The Clinical Calibration Institute also features an impressive lineup of speakers including Bruce B. Baird, DDS, Allison Lacoursiere, Dr. Lincoln Harris, Wade Kifer, DDS, Eric J. Roman, DDS, Machell Hudson-Hoover, RDH, and Jackson Bean, DDS.

“Attendees will learn to diagnose by risk factors rather than insurance limitations,” adds PDA Co-founder & CEO Dr. Victoria Peterson. “They will also learn how to create genuine patient relationships and significantly increase their productivity.”

For additional information on PDA and the Clinical Calibration Institute or to register, visit 

 or call Brent Hogan at 800-757-6077, ext, 135.

Adhesive dentistry can be challenging, especially for modern zirconia restorations.

The effectiveness of a dentist's technique makes all the difference! These step-by-step case reports by Dr. Todd Snyder prove that although many dentists may doubt zirconia's bonding potential, the correct materials and appropriate protocol and technique make adhering zirconia to tooth structure similar to the bonding of traditional feldspathic and lithium disilicate ceramics done regularly.
