Dental Tribune U.S. Edition

Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | April 2012 A7A7 Ad Product NEWs The Canon Rebel T3i is the first Rebel model to include the ability to work with wireless flashes. This feature was previously reserved for higher end, professional cameras and enables the T3i to work with modern wireless mac- ro flashes. Doing away with the flash power pack and cord results in a lighter, more balanced camera. The Rebel T3i is an 18 megapixel digital camera with articulating LCD screen and 1080p HD video mode. PhotoMed offers two wire- less flash options for the T3i as well as two traditional macro flashes and four macro lens options. Find all details at (800) 998-7765, www.photomed.net or at the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Scientific Session (booth No. 100) and California Dental Association Presents (booth No. 2034).

Do you have implants? Yes. I was fortunate enough to see a spe- cialist in oncologic dentistry who did a Cone-Beam X-ray and told me my bone was dense enough in places to hold an implant, and I had a window of opportu- nity to do it. I was told that if bone isn't stimulated it will recede over time, and then I would have no future option for implants. I had three implants in my maximally radiated bone. It's been four years, and they are all successful. What can dental professionals learn from a survivor? When dentists hear my story, they say to themselves, “I don't ever want that to happen to any of my patients.” When people feel an emotional connection, they are motivated to change. They want to learn more. They want to get their staffs on board. They are motivated to save lives.
