Welcome to the latest episode of the Digital Solutions Podcast by Medidenta Digital Solutions! In The Technology Evangelist Podcast Episode 5, host Dr. John Flucke interviews Dr. Lori Trost, a passionate clinician and educator, about the future of digital dentistry. Dr. Trost shares her inspiring journey from traditional denture workflows to embracing digital solutions like intraoral scanners and 3D printing, revolutionizing her practice in a small Missouri town. Discover how digital dentistry enhances precision, patient satisfaction, and practice efficiency in this must-listen episode!
Dr. Trost recounts her transformative experience with digital dentures, sparked by a serendipitous moment in 2020 when she received an intraoral scanner just before COVID hit. Faced with a patient’s broken denture and no traditional materials, she pivoted to digital workflows, scanning the denture and collaborating with her lab for a precise, adjustment-free fit. This experience led her to develop techniques for copy dentures, reference dentures, and immediate dentures, leveraging 3D printing for unparalleled accuracy and patient comfort.
- Precision with Digital Workflows: Intraoral scanners eliminate the inaccuracies of analog impressions, enabling dentures with exceptional fit and minimal adjustments.
- 3D Printing for Dentures: Dr. Trost uses monolithic try-in dentures printed with biocompatible materials, allowing patients to test aesthetics and function before final production.
- Patient-Centered Care: Digital tools, combined with nutritional protocols, improve healing and outcomes for immediate denture patients, reducing follow-up visits.
- Education-First Approach: Partnering with Medidenta, Dr. Tost emphasizes education, offering hands-on courses to help dentists adopt digital dentistry confidently.
