Today's special episode is brought to you by Microcopy Dental, the "single patient use" company!
Alan is joined by Cody Sunderland from Microcopy Dental. Microcopy is one of Alan's favorite companies and he's been using their single patient use burs and polishers for 20+ years!
Some topics we covered:
How did Microcopy Dental get into the "single patient use" business? (the answer makes perfect sense) What makes Microcopy products different and better? (natural diamonds, single piece construction, etc. etc.) Microcopy is the sample company and their catalog is like a Christmas wish book! Microcopy Z-cutters (for removing zirconia) What do new users notice? Microcopy polishers! Al's single use bur "flex."  Why is single use important? How do they choose bur shapes and products? What are the best selling burs? Al's favorites Who is the toughest nut to crack? Dentists? Assistants? Some links from the show:
Microcopy Dental The Catalog Inverted Pear 0512C  Inverted Pear 0508M Crown preps 1214.8C  Very fine composite finishing burs Go get a sample of your favorite bur shape!

Alan was joined in the Chicago Midwinter podcast lounge by Damien Bonner of CAD-Ray.
CAD-Ray is a one stop shop for all things digital in dentistry and there is no one better to talk about it than Damien Bonner! Damien walks us through the state of the art in dental 3D printers. It turns out that which printer is right for you depends on what you're using it for, what materials you'll need to use, how much of an enthusiast you are and how much you'll be printing. 
Then...we dig in to mills! If you can print it, you can mill it, too. CAD-Ray has those, too!
