Dentistry from Around the World

So I was talking to my aunt in India the other day. I still remember how painful a process talking overseas used to be. Growing up in a small town in India, I remember the three-second delay that was present, which made having a normal conversation virtually impossible.

But now, with advances in technology, my aunt sounded like she was sitting across town, not across the world. The conversation occurred because my uncle was getting a significant amount of dentistry done and he wanted my opinion on the case, specifically which material he should use.

Now, I'm thinking to myself, who knows what kind of alloys or porcelain they are using in India these days as I haven't kept my subscription to 'Indian Porcelain Monthly' current. So I figured I'd advise him as best as I could.

To my surprise, his material choices for his crowns were either PFM crowns or e.max. E.MAX?? In India? Right then and there I had to tip my hat to Ivoclar for two things.

First, for making such a great material, and second, for an incredible job of marketing and getting the word out not only in the U.S., but all over the world.

Without hesitation I recommended e.max for him. I'll post his photos when he is done and the next time I get to see him.
