   Critical Thinking in Digital Implant Dentistry | Dr. Adam Kimowitz | EODP #42

   Technology is transforming implant dentistry, but Dr. Adam Kimowitz believes the most important tool is still the clinician’s ability to think. In this episode of the Evolution of Dental Podcast, Dr. Kimowitz joins Rob Norton to discuss his path into implant dentistry, growing up around his father’s dental practice, and how decades of clinical experience have shaped his approach to digital technology. They explore the relationship between analog fundamentals and digital workflows, collaboration between clinicians and dental technicians, exocad, patient communication, and why understanding the reasoning behind a workflow matters just as much as knowing how to execute it. Adam also shares the deeply personal experience of losing his brother, David, and how grief changed his perspective on dentistry, resilience, relationships, and the person behind the professional performance. He explains how those experiences ultimately influenced the way he listens to patients, approaches complex treatment, and defines a successful outcome. Later, Adam draws on his experience as an implant dentistry board examiner to discuss clinical judgment, troubleshooting when workflows fail, patient safety, and why critical thinking will become even more important as AI becomes part of dentistry. Subscribe to the Evolution of Dental Podcast for more conversations with the clinicians, technicians, educators, and innovators shaping the future of dentistry. Content note: This episode includes discussion of murder, grief, addiction, and suicide.

   Immersive Implant Training with Biodenta | Dr. Michael Wehrle | EODP #41

   Digital implant dentistry requires more than learning how to place an implant. Dr. Michael Wehrle joins Rob Norton to discuss his immersive approach to implant dentistry education, live-patient surgical training, digital workflows, and the connection between successful implant placement and the final restoration. Dr. Wehrle shares how his implant training center in Puebla, Mexico, grew into an intensive educational program where dentists work through carefully selected live cases while receiving continued mentorship after returning home. He explains why understanding the restorative side of implant dentistry matters, how collaboration between the dentist and dental laboratory can improve the workflow, and why he believes knowledge should be shared throughout the profession. The conversation also explores Dr. Wehrle's work with BioDent/Biodenta implants, his perspective on implant design and restorative components, and the development of a connected workflow involving implant education, digital scanning, laboratory support, and feedback after treatment. Beyond dentistry, Dr. Wehrle discusses the mission behind the training center and how the program helps fund charitable projects in Mexico. For him, education, dentistry, faith, and service are closely connected. 00:00 Intro01:13 Connecting with Evolution Dental Science02:55 Live-Patient Implant Training07:37 Learning Implant Dentistry Through Immersion11:40 Building the Training Center in Puebla15:16 Growing the Implant Education Community17:18 Why BioDent?21:30 Bringing BioDent Back to the U.S.25:07 The Restorative & Laboratory Workflow28:39 Giving Back Through Dentistry30:12 Faith, Service & Final Takeaways
