Show Notes
Product innovation in dentistry from dentists improves daily workflows. In Episode 33 of The Technology Evangelist Podcast, sponsored by Medidenta Digital Solutions, Dr. John Flucke talks with Dr. Paul Moore — Irish dentist, early CBCT/CEREC adopter, CEREC trainer since 2001, and co-founder of DentalOrganiser/Steiriliu (Irish for “sterilise”).
- Origin Story: UK-born (Walsall), qualified Sheffield 1981; practiced Devon → Galway (20+ years); built award-winning practice (Best Dental Practice/Technology/Marketing Ireland). Now part-time prosthodontics.
- Tech Early Adopter: First in Europe with i-CAT CBCT; first CEREC practice in Ireland; CEREC trainer 2001. Digital transformed communication, prep, and case acceptance.
- Product Journey: Solved block inventory chaos → developed silicon Butler line (BurButler, BlockButler, LaminateButler, VisionButler reusable lip retractor). Focus: autoclavable, color-coded, efficient organization; reduces waste, cross-infection, and costs.
- Innovation Process: Concept → prototypes (silicone molding + scanning) → professional designer → regulatory/testing → small distributors → global reach (e.g., A-dec Worldwide in the US).
- Philosophy: Simple ideas solve big problems (e.g., flexible, visible storage; comfortable retractors). Prioritize comfort, cost savings, and environmental impact; family support is essential.
Dr. Moore’s takeaway: Dentists spot inefficiencies best — turn ideas into practical tools that save time, money, and improve care.
