Alan had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ed Feinberg at Janary's Voices of Dentistry meeting. Ed is a restorative dentist and teacher who has one of most interesting stories we've ever heard on the Very Dental podcast! Ed's been practicing dentistry since 1977 and went into practice with his dad (Dr. Elliot Feinberg)...a pioneer in FMR and restorative dentistry and now Ed practices in Peoria, AZ! Ed's 100,000 photos and cases traced back to the 1950's! Ed doesn't struggle with recurrent decay because of his 3d tooth preparation techniques and subgingival placement of margins on uncut tooth structure The "Mason tooth jar" concept of crown margins "Butt joint margins cannot be sealed" and why zirconia crowns are prone to recurrent decay The lost art of casting metal and how Ed has started using milled metal restorations! Copper band impressions (aka: impressioning the root surface below the margin) "There's never enough time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over." Why model work matters (and why they should be doing model work in dental school) Multiple appointments allow for a "fresh set of eyes." What did Ed's practice look like? How implants changed the "crown and bridge" practice Ed's "ground game" marketing his practice Some links from the show: The Onward Program Join the Very Dental Facebook group using the password "Timmerman," Hornbrook" or "McWethy," or "Lipscomb!"
