The Dental Head Start Podcast #48 – A/Prof Max Guazzato – Prosthodontics, Oral Surgery and Education
Your path to now has shaped who you are and the lens through which you see dentistry and the world. From working with his mother in Milan, becoming a dental technician, Dentistry, oral surgery, a PHD and now Prosthodontics. It is safe to say A/Prof Max Guazzato has had a path and a perspective few could claim to hold.
I was lucky enough to have a few lectures and practical sessions with A/Prof Guazzato and I can say his journey and passion inspired me and left a lasting influence on my fascination with morphology, colour and attention to detail. Even though the wax up I produced was not something I hope he remembers!
Enjoy this inspiring story and thoughtful advice – find more from A/Prof Max Guazzato at Highlands Professional Development and if you’re that way inclined – the post graduate Pros program at Sydney University.

3M – Science Applied to Life
“Prevention is better than cure”
3M
Clinpro White Varnish with Tri-Calcium Phosphate, an ideal varnish for every generation.
Clinpro White Varnish 5% Sodium Fluoride with Tri-Calcium Phosphate (TCP) is a proprietary formula that contains fluoride, calcium and phosphate—components naturally found in saliva. Containing 22,600ppm of fluoride, it delivers targeted and sustained fluoride and calcium release. Clinpro White Varnish flows across tooth surfaces and comes in contact with saliva, releasing fluoride and calcium over the life of the varnish—up to 24 hours!
Studies have shown that the longer a varnish is in contact with teeth, the more effective it is.*
Simply put, staying in contact matters.
So for your next prevention consultation why wouldn’t you consider 3M Clinpro White Varnish?
Terms and conditions apply.
