ADA’s first experience with a Facebook – account
Something strange has happened to DentalBlogs.com. I think they have partially shut down their Facebook account. They no longer feature original articles such as those by Dr. Rhonda Savage and Ms. Linda Miles, and in the last couple of weeks, they eliminated their collection of photos. Now the site only features ads and press releases. Does anyone else wonder what happened? Sure you do! This is exciting. (more…)

Dental implants stolen
Dental implants stolen
Thieves have stolen a huge batch of dental implants worth thousands of pounds which experts believe may be sold on the black market.

Yossi Sharvit, a police commander in Afula, said that a similar crime had taken place earlier in the year and investigators were examining links between the incidents.
Police now believe that the implants will be sold around the West Bank and possibly smuggled abroad, which could be prove dangerous.
Is the fear of bone grafting procedures keeping many GPs from placing dental implants?
By Alfred L. “Duke” Heller, DDS, MS, and Robert L. Heller, DDS
Obviously most general practitioners would agree that financially they would like to increase their office income by doing simple implant placement and restoration, thus keeping the fees for those services in their own cash flow. They also realize that implant dental treatment is a prosthetic discipline with a surgical component! Simple implant surgery starts with mounted models and pre-surgical diagnosis and treatment planning. The result of proper planning will produce a surgical template to help the doctor place the implant where it can be restored. Many times the implant placement comes back from a referring office with the implant out of alignment, and then it becomes compromised at the point of trying to make the prosthetics adapt to a misaligned implant.

Help your customers avoid taking responsibility
another interesting blog on Seth’s blog:
It’s interesting to see that people are much better at putting up with things that happen to them than they are at living with the consequences of a bad choice. When you can blame someone else (or the gods of spite, chance and bad luck) it’s emotionally safer than it is to acknowledge you made a lousy choice. (more…)
