So, what’s behind these failures?
What can we do to identify and treat implant failures? And prevent similar problems moving forward?
On this episode of Dentist Brian Candy, I share several cases of implant failure that have come through my office recently, explaining how dental labs are compromising the health of patients in the interest of price savings.
I discuss why It's problematic to use non-authentic components in dental implants and challenge restorative dentists to insist that laboratories use authentic parts.
Listen in for insight on identifying open contacts and occlusal overload and learn to address these issues before they lead to catastrophic bone loss and implant failure in the patients you serve.

‘There is no such thing as a good memory or a bad memory.
There's only a trained memory and an untrained memory.’
—Jim Kwik
The brain acts like a muscle: If you don’t use it, you lose it. But the rote memorization most of us were taught is not the best way to learn and remember information for the long term.
So, what can we do to unlimit our memories? And how does having a trained memory serve us as dental professionals?
On this episode of Dentist Brian Candy, I discuss chapter 13 of Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster and Unlock Your Exceptional Life, sharing Jim Kwik’s strategies for making presentations without notes and remembering names.
I also cover an article from the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery around online reviews, exploring why Yelp and Healthgrades ratings don’t necessarily correlate with clinical quality and what you can do to earn high online ratings and positive reviews.
Listen in for insight on using visualization, association and emotion to improve your memory and train your brain to retain important information—and make your memory limitless!

Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster and Unlock Your Exceptional Life by Jim Kwik
On this episode of Dentist Brain Candy, we continue our discussion of the book, Limitless by Jim Kwik. Today I'm discussing Part IV: Limitless Methods. Chapter 11 of the book is devoted to the discussion of focus. We all have so many things competing for our attention; it can cause anxiety and, worse yet, loss of focus, leaving us scattered and in a place where we accomplish less.
I walk you through Dr. Andrew Weil's method for breathing to recenter yourself. Then we'll look at your to-do list, and how you might use some anti-procrastination tools to complete a task you’ve been putting off so you can move into a more productive flow.
We'll also talk about Chapter 12, which is about studying. Jim Kwik teaches that the most successful people are lifelong learners. Listen in as I walk you through seven of Jim's simple habits to unlimit your studies, including how you can use Baroque music for better concentration when memorizing facts or for reading retention.
I also cover two thought-provoking articles from the October 2021 Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The first one, by Roberto Pippi, MD, DDS, is about Tooth and root extractions as trigger factors for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).
The second article looks at changes in the emergency patient volume and reasons for presentation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
