In this captivating episode of Endo Voices, listeners are introduced to the exceptional work of Dr. Mike Unthank, a unique blend of dentist and architect whose journey from a practicing dentist to a renowned designer of dental spaces gives him a unique perspective that marries practicality with style.

Central to our discussion is the idea of "zoning”, which ensures that dental practices provide both a patient-friendly atmosphere and a cohesive working environment for staff.

We also cover modern dental design. We navigate the challenges of constructing in high-density areas, as illustrated by Dr. Unthank's experiences in Manhattan and in contrasting markets in the Midwest. He presents intriguing solutions, like running conduits below the floor and dealing with open-ceiling structures.

Lastly, we touch on the potential future impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in dental design. While AI's influence in the architectural realm remains to be seen, the ever-evolving nature of dental practice design promises continued advancements.

In this eye-opening podcast on the changing demographics of dentistry, Dr. Marko Vujicic, chief economist for the ADA, discussed key trends in dentistry specifically focusing on the impact of the pandemic and workforce shortages. He eloquently highlights these shifts such as the fact that 89.4% of dental school graduates are employed in clinical roles, and there has been a rise in dental support organizations (DSOs) by 15.2%. Additionally, he boldly states 70% of dentists are under 44 years old! Regarding endodontic applications, Dr. Vujicic cited a 2023 report which stated that there were 297 applicants for endodontic residencies, a significant increase compared with previous years. Dr. Vujicic also explores the growing role of technology in dentistry and its potential to streamline workflows.

Endo Voices welcomes dynamic and disruptive thought leader Dr. John Khademi to insightfully illustrate the paradigm shift contemporary endodontics has seen through unprecedented advancements in technology, concepts and materials. We unpack Endodontics 1.0, moreover, the mechanical objectives and the limitations of process-based outcomes set against the backdrop of biologic/radiographic outcomes. We push the envelope of discussion and evaluate the consequences of weakening of the tooth that convenience-driven straight-line access and obturation-driven shapes created and intertwine principles of "incommensurability”, showcasing how the art and science of endo need to abandon previous principles to predictably progress forward. Dr. Khademi’s uncanny wit and piercing intellect paint a permeating story of the evolution of technological incorporation, which facilitates the optimum marriage of proper instrumentation and irrigants propelled by fluid dynamics to eradicate intra-radicular infection at the highest biological level. Tap in today and discover how the best parts of Endodontics 3.0 are yet to come!
