Telling the world about you

Our worlds are so busy with our time consumed with improving clinically, professionally, and personally. We work hard and hopefully find the time to play hard. From my view as a publisher of four and soon-to-be five dental publications, I see and hear about so much innovation going on in the dental community. Dentists are showing patients that dental health means better overall health, and there are so many ways to add technology, expand clinical options, and create your own new protocols and inventions that can change the face of your specialties. My team at MedMark is always searching for your stories — for your journeys, your successes, and even your speed bumps along the way. Entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk said, “Regardless of what you are trying to accomplish, you’ve got to tell the world about it.” I wholeheartedly agree. And that’s what we at MedMark Media have been doing over the past 17 years. We’ve been telling the world about you.

All of the new advancements in dental specialty fields are amazing — artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality, 3D printing, robotics, the field of dental sleep medicine, braces and aligners that move teeth faster and more efficiently, and imaging in 2D and 3D that makes diagnostics more precise. Advances in endodontic materials such as bioceramics contribute significantly to that specialty’s incredible growth. Let’s not forget implants — according to iData Research, over 3 million dental implants are placed each year in the United States, and the U.S. market is expected to exceed $1.5 billion in 2027.

Here’s more good news. In this issue of Implant Practice US, our Cover Story features Dr. Alex Bachoura, who operates five offices in the greater Houston area. With that many practices, he and his colleagues don’t have time for supply-chain constraints, so with PuraGraft as his distributor, he knows that he will be able to access all of the supplies that he needs to perform oral surgery. Our CE, written by Drs. Stuart Segelnick and Mea Weinberg, titled “Communicating periodontal issues across dental implant platforms,” explores common problems and management at the dental implant-abutment connection. Part 2 of the CE by Wiyanna Bruck and Jessica Price titled “Dental infections, part 2 — prophylaxis: help avoid antimicrobial resistance” provides an overview of the cautious use of antibiotics in the dental office.

Back to you — how can we help you tell the world about your innovations, techniques, and life-changing treatments? Our articles and advertisers show you what is possible and practice changing, and promises to help differentiate you from the rest. To change Gary Vaynerchuk’s quote just a bit: Regardless of what you are trying to accomplish, MedMark is here to help you tell the world about it.

To your best success,
