Crisis, a shortcut to evolution?
Dr. Miguel Stanley, Clinical Director White Clinic & Founder of Slow Dentistry
Find out why Miguel believes this crisis is a shortcut to evolution and how you can ensure you come out the other side with better ideas and business goals than before.

Content disruption in dentistry
Christian Haase, General Manager of Quintessence Publishing
Nowadays we have access to tons of industry-related content online, but how do we filter between what is reliable and not so reliable? And do you agree that people will want to travel to dentistry congresses and courses immediately after the COVID-19 crisis is over?

Remote care and the power of AI
Philippe Salah, CEO and Co-founder of Dental Monitoring
Hear Philippe Salah share his ideas on how AI can help us diagnose and treat patients more effectively, and that delivering efficiency when you deliver care is key to success.

Do you agree? Make sure you take the time to listen to the conversation.
How to mentally succeed when times are tough
Orlando Zucchetto, Licensed NLP Coaching Trainer & Director of Self Change
Have you taken a moment to stop and breathe today? Or at any point during the past few weeks?

Did you know, the most successful people are often the ones who can connect with themselves and with others? And now is the most important time to stay connected.
Philippe Verán, CEO of Biotech
What do you think of Philippe Verán’s statement: there won’t be many large or long-lasting changes to the dentistry industry after the threat of COVID-19 has passed, but that patient psychology and behaviour will be affected? Christian posed the idea that this crisis will speed up the implementation of digital dentistry, but in order to thrive and succeed in the future, patients have to feel safe in your care – now more than ever.
Learning from an industry mentor
Prof. Nitzan Bichacho, Head of RE Goldstein Center for Esthetic Dentistry
Do you agree that in a crisis we can become humbler? Nitzan claims that many people will be looking for quality, but not necessarily luxury at a time like this and that our financial and material priorities are likely to shift. He also emphasized the need for dentists to understand and help patients who might change their mind about carrying out any planned treatments and invest more time in treatment planning to improve and learn from this more meticulous work.
How to practically implement changes in your clinic
Kirk Behrendt, Founder & CEO, ACT Dental Practice Coaching
Will you be establishing an infection control committee in your clinic when things get back ‘to normal’? Well that’s what Kirk Behrendt, Founder & CEO of ACT Dental Practice Coaching, thinks you should be doing, in order to reassure patients and your team that your biosafety protocols are exactly what they should be. Kirk also shared his thoughts on the importance of patient retention and customer support while we are all stuck indoors and the need for a well-planned outreach strategy at this moment in time.
Dr. Kyle Stanley, Chief Clinical Officer of Pearl
As a dental professional, do you feel threatened by AI, which one day may make certain job roles obsolete? Well there’s no need to worry. In his discussion with Christian, Dr. Kyle Stanley explains how AI serves to help dental professionals become better practitioners, not simply replace them. They also discussed the idea that with sensors and data collection, we’ll be able to measure every part of the treatment process to improve clinical performance and the health of dentists and their patients.
