Last night I met with 10 local dentists for our last dental study club meeting 9 Hoosiers For Dentla Excellence), we have met 8 times this season(Sept 2009 thru May 2010), we met for 2 hrs to discuss current dental topics, research, dental materials, and to discuss complicated treatment plans for a couple of patients..This group is an advanced group of dental professionsals some of who have been members of this group for 10 years..We also discussed how to better use the internet to reach out to our patients so they would better understand the types of wonderful dental procedures that we all can provide these days..Another topic of discussion was how we can now be bale to detect pts. who are genetically predisposed to developing gum disease by a simple saliva test..This test will greatly help us better diagnose and treat our pts. for gum disease, it is a very exciting aspect to dentistry..
