BDTA Excel Saturday

The queue just before 10amVery busy again, it being Saturday lots of folks have come with their families. There was a queue to get in when I turned up at 9.45.

I must correct or rather add to yesterday’s posting. In addition to lots of Chinese based laboratories there are many stands pushing digital imaging. I have only started using digital radiographs recently but am a huge fan & can see how they have become a ‘must-have’.

Just behind them it was great to see so many people trying loupes, how does anyone manage without magnification I wonder? They are being used increasingly by the ‘switched on’ hygienists too.

At last a mainstream practice management software package that can run on a Mac, nice features too. I would advise anyone thinking about investing to look away from the ‘big 2’ of SoE & Kodak and look at DentalPlus here

A small area of Showcase

The day started well with an excellent presentation from an old friend & mentor Andy Toy from Loughborough presenting some of his research on occlusion. As I would expect he was thought provoking and provided more questions than answers. With him were Professor Ron Presswood one of those wild old sages from Texas and a very switched on Dental Technician Larry Browne. The talk was based on their paper published in Primary Dental Care in April 2008.

Busy day personally working on Strategic Alliances and just bumping into old friends, I was so glad that I went for two days even if the DLR closure made the journey back to Paddington a pain.

Thanks to the BDJ for providing the online facility for me to post.
