    Continuing the Education

    Author: Michael Miyasaki, DDS Date: 06.02.2010

    The more I learn the more I need to know. Do you find that too? In the past 2 months, I’ve attended the American Association of Endodontists conference in San Diego and the American Association of Orthodontists meeting in Washington, D.C., and the number of the toys, gadgets and techniques they have on display is truly amazing. It instills a lot of respect with our specialist colleagues to attend one of these meetings.

    Report on the Greater New York Dental Meeting

    Author: Michael Miyasaki, DDS Date: 12.17.2009

    Last month I attended, for the first time, the Greater New York Dental Meeting and it was impressive with a great number of dental team members and manufacturers in attendance. Part of this Editor-in-Chief ‘job’ with Dental Product Shopper magazine is attending these meetings which is the part I enjoy so much. It’s always a combination of pleasure and business combined as going to these meetings is a great reason to meet up with friends and to see what’s new in the industry.

    They Just Don’t Make Them Like They Used to

    Author: Ryan Judd, DMD Date: 06.02.2010

    Maybe it’s just me, however, I see more and more dental offices going the way of all medicine.  In an effort to combat the rising costs of office overhead we all experience, many dentists are adopting the multi-doctor large group practice model.

    What’s the Right Price for a Product?

    Author: Keith Haig Date: 07.19.2010

At 3M ESPE, our pace is driven by our customers’ input and market dynamics coupled with our research and development process, which is in place to ensure that there is a clear need for new products we introduce, and that they do what we say they’ll do.
