If you're a refractive surgeon, your biggest competitor is not your neighbor down the street. It's indifference and lack of awareness. I receive google news alerts on a variety of topics and this one in Forbes caught me by surprise yesterday morning. How is it possible that 𝟮𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿, we are still addressing the basic questions about LASIK? This is an unfortunate example of how we as an industry (surgeons, manufacturers and other stakeholders) have done a terrible job of educating the public on the benefits of vision correction procedures. Together, we can do better.

I'm proud to work in a company where we have a trusting environment that encourages communication. 🌟There’s no doubt about what the basis of DE&I should be: communication. 🌟 At Dentsply Sirona, we work with the concept of a Conversation of Understanding (COU), a structured, proactive approach to fostering dialogue and empathy within our workplace community. As part of our ongoing DE&I Month celebration, we hosted a company-wide COU on the topic of ‘Psychological Safety in the workplace’. But what exactly is psychological safety in the workplace? 💡 It's about feeling empowered to take risks, share ideas and concerns, be curious, and admit mistakes without fear of repercussions. It's the bedrock of a healthy, thriving work environment. 🎙️Our three conversation champions Kim Mongiello, Bruce Peatey, and Lisia Malcolm drove the conversation by sharing their personal stories and experiences. Their insights illuminated why psychological safety is not just important, but essential at Dentsply Sirona. By nurturing a culture of openness and trust, we empower our teams to excel, innovate, and bring their authentic selves to work. We firmly believe that by embracing diversity and fostering psychological safety, we unlock the full potential of our workforce. In essence creating an environment that allows us all to show up to work as our authentic selves, leveraging our superpowers – our key strengths! #proudtobeDS #diversity #psychologicalsafety #ERG

Dentsply Sirona made headlines at the recent European Congress of DentoMaxilloFacial Radiology (ECDMFR) held in Freiburg, Germany. In collaboration with Siemens Healthineers, the two companies presented details about the ongoing development of the world's first dental-dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (ddMRI) system. One of the most transformative features of the ddMRI system is its ability to provide soft tissue contrast, previously unattainable in dental imaging – allowing dental professionals to see what was up to now unseen. By delivering comprehensive information on soft tissues, nerves, and inflammatory activities, this technology has the potential to enable early detection of oral diseases and may therefore help to prevent over or undertreatment. Initial clinical trials showed promising results in radiation-free imaging for various dental conditions, including 3rd molar extraction, endodontics, temporomandibular disorder (TMJ), periodontitis, and orthodontics. https://lnkd.in/dGZeFDRe

For many dentists, shade selection can be a time-consuming task, which, bearing in mind the standard shade systems (12+ shades) with multiple opacities, brings in a remarkable complexity that very frequently is unnecessary. #Solvers #Filtek #Solventum

Doc, what you really want is... About twenty years ago, when dental zirconia first came out, there were only a few, highly branded, and very expensive materials available. Soon, many more zirconia options followed, most of them less branded and therefore less expensive—but often equally good or better. It didn’t take long until the first labs who received a prescription for these highly branded zirconia restorations started reaching out to their doctors, asking, "Doc, if I understand correctly, you want a highly esthetic, strong, metal-free, zirconia restoration, right? Well, I have exactly what you need, and it costs even less than the brand you asked for. Would you like to try that?” History seems to be repeating itself with expensively, branded high-impact digital denture resins costing over $1,000 per liter. I envision labs calling their doctors again and saying, "Doc, what you really want is a durable, good-looking high-impact digital denture at a lower price, right? I have exactly what you're looking for…” https://bit.ly/printodent SAVE & GROW with Gro3X!
