Show Notes


Dental materials research is the engine behind every clinical decision a dentist makes — and no one translates that science into practical, clinician-friendly knowledge more effectively than Dr. Nate Lawson. On this episode of The Technology Evangelist Podcast, host Dr. John Flucke sits down with the Director of the Division of Biomaterials at the UAB School of Dentistry for a wide-ranging conversation about how research actually gets done, why marketing claims and lab data don’t always align, where 3D printed zirconia is headed, and what the future of dental prevention might look like. This episode is brought to you by Medidenta Digital Solutions, the proud sponsor making this podcast possible.

Dr. Nate Lawson has built one of the most productive and practically oriented dental materials research programs in the country, and he does it while still seeing patients and teaching dental students who will carry those material science principles into their own careers. For clinicians who want to understand the science behind the materials they use every day — or for dental students looking for a more rigorous foundation than what they got in school — his work is essential reading and listening.
