Jason and Alan are joined again by the legendary Dr. Mike DiTolla! In this wide ranging conversation we talk about all kinds of stuff. Mike claims to be a charter member of "Underpreppers Anonymous." He's seen a lot of tooth preps in the world's largest dental lab over the years and the bottom line is this: dentists routinely underprepare teeth. Particularly molars. One of Mike's goals in life is to help dentists do it right. If you prep crowns, this is a valuable discussion about preparation techniques, intraoral scanners and tools for more ideal reduction. We also discussed the future of hands on dental CE and bigger dental meetings. Finally, we talk about what's happening in the world of full contour zirconia (including bridges) since Mike was on the ground floor at Glidewell when Bruxzir was being developed!
