In this episode I have an exciting announcement of a Practical Product that Really works that is going to be available soon and you as listeners get the first peak behind the Komono.  I then break into a QOD by Lynden Johnson and start the 1st Part of Crucial Conversations :  Tools for Talking When Stakes are High.  This book will change your life it you follow it’s advice in every avenue.  I then discuss an interesting surgical case and show off some cool pictures of huge mandibular tori that had to be removed.

Hybrid restorations are a fantastic restoration that every restorative dentist should be doing. Every dentist (almost) has the skills, talent and knowledge to pull these restorations off but short change their patients by not getting them done.  In this episode, this jagged little pill, will be swallowed gently with an interview with Scott Oyler, a friend of mine, who has been in the dental implant industry for years and has seen and heard it all.  I think you will really enjoy Scott dispelling and discussing these myths on todays episode.

QOD by Charles Swindoll and his quotes highlights that our perceptions dictated more on the path of life than the actual events that happen to us.  The final installment of the book review by Keller and Papasan talks about the four thieves and is mandatory listening for anyone who wants to maximize productivity.  The article I reviewed is about using corticotomies to assist orthodontic tooth movement and is a meta analysis of the literature showing some support and validity to the procedure but that more research is required.  The interesting case is of a fella that was driving his antique car without a seatbelt and got caught in some Pacific Northwest slush and smashed his lower front teeth on the steering wheel of his car.  He lost those teeth and bone in the area and had some pretty nasty lacerations closed as well.

QOD by Jim Rohn is about seizing our day before our day wastes away and then the book review of The One Thing is continued and really dives deeper into happiness and maximizing your time with Block Time.  Block Time must be set and cherished and never compromised to maximize productivity.  For the interesting case I show a patient with impacted canines that was referred for expose and bond where the teeth were exposed and a gold chain and bracket were bonded onto the tooth so the canines can be pulled into the arch.
