Episode 123: “Reopening Your Practice- Safety, Ethical, and Legal Concerns with Olivia Wann, RDA, JD”
The Dental Guys
05/29/20 • 53 min
Here is what we will cover in this show:1) Interim guidance from the ADA on PPE: Based upon this and the CDC/OSHA, what things will change from what we used to do from a practitioner perspective? What things will change from a patient management perspective?
2) Based upon the ADA interim guidance, we know that surgical masks only provide moderate protection. N95's are the standard. Is this essentially a situation where we just "do the best we can" and realize that there is a risk? How do we limit the liability that comes with this risk? Does this redefine standard of care based upon your locale?
3) Do we need to provide consent forms to our patients? What about our staff?
4) In the absence of clear recommendations from the government agencies such as state boards, departments of heath, and governors, is standard of care based upon "use your best judgement"?

Episode 176: "Controversies in Implant Dentistry"
The Dental Guys
02/11/25 • 64 min
As we prepare to attend this year’s Academy of Osseointegration meeting in Seattle, Jon and Wes take a deep dive into a controversial topic—implant placement in lateral incisors. Do we have enough evidence to rethink treatment planning? Are single-wing Maryland bridges a reliable solution for tooth replacement, or should we anticipate future revisions? And could factors like midfacial growth patterns steer us away from implants altogether? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion as we explore the latest perspectives in implant dentistry!
