In this show I interview my friend and trusted Implant Rep, Scott Oyler from Nobel Biocare. We discuss the problem of non-authentic dental implant components and the reasons behind their rise in use and the resulting problems. Many times the restorative dentist is not aware that their restorations are made up of non-authentic components. We also discuss Screwmentable restorations, defining this animal and chat about the indications and pearls of use.
This is the second and final part of the Dental Implant Terminology series. There is a video that pairs with this that you can find at dentistbraincandy.teachable.com
This is designed for the entire team to get everyone on the same plane and level and prepared to answer patient dental implant questions and handle implant cases. EVERY team member should be made to watch this video series upon hire and then at least once a year to hone everyones knowledge and skills. I promise that this will increase the number of implant cases you do.
In this episode, I conclude the Great by Choice book review and then move straight into reducing dental anxiety. This article discusses using essential oils, specifically citrus/orange essential oil to reduce anxiety in an Oral Surgery office. I then conclude with a simple but cool case of a mucocele removal. Be sure to check it out here!
In this episode, I start off with a quote of the day from none other than Walt Disney! If you think you might recognize the background noise in this episode, then chances are you’ve been to Chuck E Cheese’s! This entire episode was recorded there!
After the QOD I get into the 3 P's of a successful practice. These include people, process, and patients. Next, I discuss an interesting case that I saw on a Friday, right before the weekend, of a severe facial infection secondary tattoos numbers 18 and 19. The patient did well after his surgical procedure and being admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics for approximately 72 hours.
In this episode I discuss the 2016 AAOMS annual meeting highlights that I took away. I hope this summary is useful for you.
My team and I had a fantastic speaker, Dr. Charles Whitney, MD come and speak at Center Place in Spokane, WA. You all had an invitation so it is your own fault you did not come! The presentation was fantastic and in this episode, I summarize a few of the highlights that I got from the meeting.
This talk was 3 hours but in this 19-minute episode, you will get a taste of what he discussed. Dr. Whitney also talked about 3rd Era Dentistry and on the practical side of implementing the protocols he discussed.

This week starts with a quote by Robin Williams. I discuss Part 3 of Great by Choice. The article review is on bone grafting the edentulous maxilla and the review of the literature of all of the choices that are available to us. The interesting case is that of a woman with metastatic breast cancer on IV Zometa and developed MRONJ with a severe submental space infection.
This week starts with little message about why a woman’s mind is cleaner than a man’s. I then go into part 2 of Great by Choice by Collins. Productive paranoia and the 20-mile march are discussed. I then go into an article review that discusses the risks with coronectomy or partial removal of lower third molars and why one would consider this and what can happen. This article is directly applicable to any dentist who sees patients with third molars.
The interesting case is a must see! This gentleman crashed head on to a cement truck while driving his F150 and sustained a severe naso orbital ethmoid fracture. I discuss the key elements of the surgery and repair and show some killer pictures. You don’t want to miss these!
This week starts with a quote by Don Marquis on procrastination. I then review an article discussing carotid artery calcifications found on CBCT scans.
I love Jim Collins’ work and this book on Great by Choice starts this week and is really a great read and review if I do say so myself! I have an interesting case of a young male patient who was, (minding his own business), skateboarding and fell and broke his jaw in two places and managed not to get any extra oral cuts on his face. I show some cool 3D scan of his bilateral mandible fracture and the final panorex fixed.
This is the one-year mark of the “Dentist Brain Candy” Podcast! It has been quite the year and journey! Content creation is fun but also a lot of work in an already busy life. This episode is a snapshot of a day in the life of yours truly. I discuss what I am doing and two interesting cases that came up, one of which was a surgery I did in the hospital. Don’t forget to go to the interesting cases section to see some cool pictures as well!

I also go over my top five strengths as assessed by the Strength Finders test. The article I reviewed is an editorial by James Hupp on prescription drug abuse and Oral Surgeons. The stats are incredible and scary.
The interesting case shows a panorex and the extracted teeth, including mutant teeth after a young man went through chemotherapy for leukemia, causing a systemic disruption and abnormal tooth development. You will want to see this.

Restoring Hybrid restorations can be a challenge. Many dentists get that turn in their stomach when they think about taking on such a thing. This presentation is one method that is predictable and broken down into an appointment by appointment approach that makes it so anyone can restore hybrids and full arch dental implant cases. This audio clip is the first part of a video series that you can find at dentistbraincandy.teachable.com
This week starts with a quote by George Burns and a bonus quote of the day. Part one of Strength Based Leadership begins and promises to be a foundational and invaluable book. I particularly like the web-based test that you can take that will tell you your top five strengths! We look at two of the four leadership strength or styles and real life examples of each. The ex-NFL football player was in a no-contact game of flag football and took an elbow to the right eye and sustained a blowout fracture of the right orbital floor. A subciliary incision was made and a titanium impregnated Medpor implant was used to reconstruct the orbital floor. Check out the radiographs in the Interesting cases section.

Every practicing dentist is acutely aware of this unmistakable fact: If you are not sitting in the chair, PRODUCTION=ZERO . I had no idea that when I started dentistry that it meant that anytime a dollar was earned I needed to have gloves on and be in the trenches working in my practice instead of on my practice.
Every dentist dreams of going to the mailbox and getting a check without having to fix teeth. David Sewell from International Coffee Farms in Panama tells us how we can decrease our dependency and participate in a socially conscious, passive investment that results in you owning deed property with significant cash flow. This episode is way out of the norm for this podcast but I could not resist sharing.
I discovered this investment, I vetted them out and I converted a significant portion of my 401k into coffee farms. In fact my investment was big enough that I qualify for finders fees for new investors for ICF. The amount is insignificant to me but the investment can change my listeners lives so I felt compelled to share this with you.

Ray Dalio’s advice on asset allocation is exposed as well! The interesting case is about impacted tooth numbers 17, 18 and 19 with a pretty cool radiograph which can be seen in the interesting cases section.
This interview is with Dr Johnson who had a problem, solved it for his practice and has given the rest of us access to the application. Hear it here first!

This week starts off with a quote by Albert Einstein. The fifth installment of Money:Master the Game by Tony Robbins is discussed. Discussion on what Absolute Financial Freedom is and how you can choose to make that goal is reviewed.

This week starts off with a quote by Lana Turner and is fun. The fourth installment of Money:Master the Game by Tony Robbins is brought to life. We discuss four out of the five levels of financial freedom which is a must know for anyone who wishes to get to financial freedom. You won’t know if you have arrived at your destination if you don’t know what the destination is! The interesting case is about a gal that was hiking across Spain and fell and ended up discovering 3-4 weeks later that a piece of her tooth was still embedded in her lower lip. Needless to say we removed it!
This week starts off with a quote by Teddy Roosevelt and is sassy. The third installment of Money:Master the Game by Tony Robbins is created and ready for consumption. I was shocked to learn that vaping can lead to an explosion in your mouth blasting out teeth and leading to a serious injury and I pull a very interesting article from the literature to review this case report. I then follow up with a interesting case of a young man that fell on the stairs and had another large kid fall on him to finish off his maxillary incisors in a mixed dentition stage, fooling the radiologist on the extent of the injury.
This week starts off with two more awesome quotes by Anthony Robbins. In this episode we will dig into part two our our book review Money:Master the Game. It is not how much you make but how much you save and invest that will set you free. The review article goes over five ways of removing dental implants and discusses the decision tree and applications and the pros and cons of each method. The interesting case shows radiographs and intraoperative pictures removing tooth number 28 and an OKT.
This week starts off with two more killer quotes by Anthony Robbins. The book review begins fresh with Tony Robbins, Money:Master the Game (did you know Tony is 6 foot 7 inches!). This book will change your perception of money and allow you to become financially free so that you can work because you want to not because you have to. The article review discusses the current uses of CBCT in academia and private practice. Fun facts about these scanners and useful information about accreditation is also available. The interesting case shows how a 9 year old boy can acquire a large tongue mass that needed to be cut off and was diagnosed as a traumatic granuloma. Enjoy!
