    Simplifying Direct Restorations: Techniques and Innovations with Dr. Marc Lai

    In this episode of Disruptive Dental Science, hosted by Dr. Ashton Prince, restorative dentist and DENTAL ADVISOR Clinical Ambassador Dr. Marc Lai discusses why direct resin restorations are often challenging due to case variability, technique sensitivity, and the many protocol-dependent steps that impact success. Dr. Lai shares what he looks for in restorative materials—reliable handling, simplicity, predictability, and efficiency—and highlights his experience with Solventum’s Easy Match system. He walks through a difficult Class II case with an existing restoration, recurrent caries, multiple tooth shades, dentin discoloration, and decalcification, explaining how the bright/neutral/warm shade approach and masking effect supported esthetic results without a separate blocker. The conversation also covers composite warming and the Filtek Composite Warmer designed for Filtek materials.00:00 Why Composites Feel Hard02:33 What Makes Direct Restorations Tough03:35 How Mark Chooses Materials05:35 Industry Push For Simplicity06:57 Solventum Easy Match Overview07:58 Case Walkthrough Class II08:46 Simplified Shade Selection09:34 Masking Effect No Blocker10:30 Composite Warming Tips11:49 Solventum R&D14:43 Conservative Dentistry Reality15:40 Wrap Up And Resources#dentaleducation #podcast #dental #dentalpodcast #dentaladvisor

    Improving Case Acceptance Through Patient-Centered Dentistry with Drs. Charlie Ward & Chris Mazzola

    In this episode of the Disruptive Dental Science Podcast, host Dr. Ashton Prince talks with Dr. Chris Mazzola and Dr. Charlie Ward about building practice systems that improve efficiency and case acceptance by focusing on patient-centered outcomes rather than “selling” procedures like crowns or scaling and root planing. They outline a new-patient workflow starting with an experiential phone call, intentional front-desk greeting, and forms that guide risk and prognosis, followed by a private preclinical interview in a consult room, a practice tour, and a customized approach to their care. They emphasize presenting treatment by connecting periodontal disease, function, esthetics, and overall health to the patient’s stated goals, starting small with simple systems, and developing a growth-minded team anchored in core values, purpose, leadership, and consistent meeting cadence.

    Utilizing Systems to Elevate Your Practice: A Conversation with Drs. Charlie Ward & Chris Mazzola

    In this episode of the Disruptive Dental Science Podcast, host Dr. Ashton Prince speaks with Dr. Charlie Ward and Dr. Chris Mazzola about improving efficiency in dental practice through basics, repeatable systems, and data-driven decision-making rather than “feelings.” Mazzola explains how systems create staff accountability without becoming overly rigid, and outlines meeting cadences (daily huddles, weekly two-hour meetings, and quarterly full-day growth days) used to review and update protocols stored in Google Drive. He describes tracking KPIs using Dental Intelligence, including perio percentage, fluoride utilization, hygiene reappointment, patient attrition within 18 months, new patients, and recapture, emphasizing separating true trends from one-off events. Ward adds that systems must be fluid, include regular assessment, and even apply to clinical debriefs after complex procedures to drive consistent excellence. They advise new dentists to gain chairside experience and choose continuing education based on real clinical needs, including discussion of Pankey, Spear, Kois, and TMD and esthetic challenges.   00:00 Intro 03:21 Why Systems Create Accountability 04:45 Meeting Cadence That Works 06:34 Tracking KPIs With Dental Intelligence 08:54 Setting Realistic Data Goals 11:05 Systems Must Stay Fluid 13:29 Advice For New Dentists 17:08 Make Your Career Yours 19:09 Part One Wrap Up

    Lifelong Learning in Dentistry: A Conversation with Dr. Lee Ann Brady

    On this episode of the Disruptive Dental Science Podcast, host Dr. Ashton Prince (Chief Editor of DENTAL ADVISOR) interviews restorative dentist and continuing education leader Dr. Lee Ann Brady, who shares how dentists can improve their practice and build a supportive dental community via continuing education. Brady reviews her roles at the Pankey Institute and Spear Education and discusses the COVID shift toward online dental education, noting that programs have largely returned to in-person, hands-on learning because dentistry requires manual skill development, benchtop practice, and safer implementation before treating patients. She emphasizes the difference between topic-based courses (e.g., veneer prep, molar endodontics) and curriculum-based education that supports diagnosis, treatment planning, communication, practice systems, implementation, and integration, summarizing that “education without implementation is just entertainment.” Listen in to learn how continuing education improves dentist fulfillment, team culture, and patient trust.
