DPR Friday: Sales rep becomes her own dental demo, plus upcoming dental product launches

A personal story of dental restorations that hold up under the highest scrutiny – other dentists!

It’s Friday, February 15 and this is DPR Friday.

Full Transcript:

Welcome to this week’s episode of DPR Friday. I’m Thais Carter, Director of Content for Advanstar Dental Media. I’m sure I’ve said this in previous episodes, but I am a real fan of the Patient Perspective articles that run in Dental Products Report. Not only is it a valuable perspective to consider when evaluating a product, but it is just fun to hear the stories of patients seeing smiles transformed.

This month, the patient is Rene Waibel – a sales rep for DENTSPLY Caulk. And, believe it or not, she got to see one of her own products in use after an unexpected collision course with a falling shower rod. She went from telling doctors that EsthetX HD is a great product, to becoming her own walking demo. From tears on the bathroom floor to triumph in the dental practice, you won’t want to miss her story at http://www.dentalproductsreport.com/dental/article/what-esthetx-hd-can-do-your-patients.

Now, as promised, the second half of our Ones to Watch preview for the Chicago Midwinter Meeting. Last week, we covered the initial 7. Here, the final 8...

• DenMat debuts its SOL Portable Diode Laser that packs both precision and possibility at just $2,495
• Gendex celebrates 120 years of imaging excellence by making units such as the GXDP-300 and GXDP-700 imaging systems easier to afford (or win!)
• Ivoclar Vivadent is drumming up excitement for its practical but powerful Ivoclean Restorative Cleaning Agent and Primer
• Komet USA is introducing its new Ceramic Cutters for Acrylics, designed to bring down the heat without compromising performance
• Zest continues to amaze those investigating implant options with its Locator Overdenture Implant System, with special promotions available at the meeting
• SDI is offering free samples of its Riva Bond LC
• And VOCO America is promoting its Structur 3 temporary crown and bridge material, with a Buy 2 Cartridge Refills, Get 1 Provicol QM FREE deal at the Midwinter Meeting

And on that note, we’re out of time. For more on the latest products and industry news, don’t miss DPR Friday next week, and every week.

Thanks for watching, and have a great weekend.
