Paul, Paul The Science Guy: Paul Cascone from Argen Explains Zirconia   Join Elvis Dahl and Barbara Wojdan on the only weekly podcast dedicated to the dental laboratory industry. Most dental offices couldn't do what you do without a good lab on their team.  Every Monday morning they have an in-depth conversation with someone within the lab industry that is sure to be of interest to the clinical side of dentistry too. Find the podcast at voicesfromthebench.com or on every major platform you find podcasts.  They love to feature anyone from dentistry, if you want to be on the podcast send them an email at info@voicesfromthebench.com and join the "voices" from the laboratory industry.  

We kick off the episode by answering a REDDIT! from Lance in the way that they do on his podcast with Josh Austin called Working Interfences.    Did we do it justice?   Probably not. Did you know Zach's Chiefs play Kevin's Browns this weekend?   Will they be on speaking terms after this weekend?  Whose side are you on? We get into some fancy numbing technologies when we get around to talking clinical.     Lance uses the Wand.   It's really evident that Zach has never seen the Wand and didn't bother googling anything about the Wand prior to the show based on some of the odd questions.   My bad listeners. Then we discuss Anutra.. kind of... none of the guests here use it, so we kind of speculated.. and Zach comes in hot with his DIY buffering method We also talk topical anesthetics.. and some other anesthetic stuff. Is any of this necessary?   Who knows.   Enjoy the listen,  check out the Clinical Hacks FB group and we'll catch you next week. See ya!

(recent court case) Will it affect dental? Competitive Health Insurance Reform Act  Overturns McCarran-Ferguson Act that removes antitrust restrictions from carriers Hopefully will encourage more competition in the carrier market  Did  insurance companies stop innovating because they didn’t need to?  The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) predicts “more instability in the health insurance markets and, therefore, higher premiums.” >> Grab the 50+ page Ebook “Prepare, Protect and Prosper” here!
