Implant dentistry is one of the fastest-growing fields in our profession. With today's technologies and materials, implant placement is now truly a restoratively-driven procedure. To provide you with the latest information in this field, Glidewell Laboratories is pleased to present this inaugural issue of Inclusive, a new print and online magazine focused on implant dentistry. Inclusive will be a multimedia publication, offering printed articles in this magazine and complementary videos and expanded content online at www.inclusivemagazine.com.
As your laboratory partner, our goal is to provide you with the most up-to-date, practical information available from some of the most knowledgeable, experienced educators, clinicians and technicians in the field. From tips on obtaining more accurate implant impressions to the prosthetic benefits of digital treatment planning and guided surgery, we will cover an array of subjects related to implant reconstruction in our new quarterly publication. Included will be reviews of the latest technologies and materials, along with information on how to utilize these tools to provide a higher quality of care to your patients, improve your productivity and increase your profitability.
In our premier issue, you'll find an informative photo essay by Dr. Irfan Atcha on "Utilizing Digital Treatment Planning and Guided Surgery to Restore Fully Edentulous Arches with the All-on-4 Technique." You'll also learn about "Cone Beam Computed Tomography: Applications in Diagnostic Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology and Pathology" in an article by Dr. Parish Sedghizadeh, an expert in the field who serves as an assistant professor at the USC School of Dentistry. Also, find out how to determine fees for your overdenture cases in a practice management article by Dr. Samuel Strong.
At Glidewell Laboratories, we are committed to continuing education. That's why we offer you the opportunity to earn free CE credits by taking the online test that accompanies designated articles. We'll also provide you with information on how to access other CE opportunities that may be of interest to you.
We are eager to hear your feedback. Let us know what topics, products and procedures you would like to see discussed in future issues. We welcome your questions and comments, as well. Contact us at inclusivemagazine@glidewelldental.com.
