Together, they discuss the evolution of PolyJet technology, the advantages of multi-material and full-color 3D printing, the current state of digital dentures, and why Chris believes dentistry is entering a new era of manufacturing. The conversation also explores AI-driven design, the future of full-arch workflows, advances in dental materials, and how these innovations could reshape both dental laboratories and clinical practices in the years ahead. Whether you're a dentist, laboratory technician, educator, or simply passionate about digital dentistry, this episode offers valuable insight into where dental technology is today and where it's heading next.

Digital dentures have transformed what's possible in modern dentistry, but technology alone isn't enough. Success also depends on communication, expectations, and understanding the realities of removable prosthetics. Dr. Russell Schafer shares his unconventional journey from mechanical engineering and the oil industry into dentistry before becoming a leader in digital denture workflows. He discusses how digital technology has changed removable dentistry, why dental laboratories deserve more credit for driving innovation, and how AI is shaping the future of digital dentures. Dr. Schafer also shares practical lessons from years of treating denture patients, including how to set realistic expectations, improve patient satisfaction, streamline workflows with intraoral scanning and 3D printing, and why dentists should spend more time learning from laboratory technicians.

Digital dentistry continues to reshape implant treatment, but where are today's workflows succeeding and where is there still room for innovation?

Dr. Adam Zatcoff joins the Evolution of Dental Podcast to share his experience with photogrammetry, intraoral scanning, implant restorations, and overdenture workflows. Drawing from years of clinical practice, he discusses how digital technology has improved predictability, reduced remakes, and streamlined treatment while also highlighting the workflow challenges that still need solving.

From full arch restorations and PMMA provisionals to the future of overdenture workflows, this conversation offers valuable insights for clinicians looking to improve efficiency and deliver better patient outcomes through digital dentistry.

Jessica J. Knott has spent her career exploring nearly every corner of the dental industry. From her early days in the United States Air Force dental laboratory program to evaluating emerging technologies, implementing digital workflows, training clinicians and assistants, and helping shape the adoption of 3D printing in dentistry, her perspective is unlike almost anyone else in the field. This conversation follows Jessica's journey through military training, laboratory education, product evaluation, and digital dentistry innovation. Along the way, she shares lessons learned from researching new technologies, building safer workflows, collaborating with clinicians, and adapting to the rapid evolution of modern dentistry. Robert and Jessica discuss the realities of 3D printing, patient-centered treatment planning, same-day dentistry, laboratory-clinical communication, material safety, and the changing role of dental technicians in an increasingly digital world. They also explore how AI, automation, and new technology may reshape careers across the industry over the next several years. Whether you're a dentist, dental technician, assistant, or digital workflow enthusiast, this episode offers valuable insight into where the profession is headed and what skills will matter most moving forward.

Aaron Gelfand's path into dentistry is anything but conventional. Before becoming a leader in digital implant workflows, he spent years as a tugboat captain, fishing guide, and business owner before helping build one of the most refined full-arch workflows in implant dentistry today. Aaron shares the story behind the EZ Ref system from Evolve Dentistry, his experience helping scale digital full-arch workflows across NuSet Dental Implants & Oral Surgery, and the lessons learned from more than a thousand same-day implant cases. The discussion explores intraoral scanning, implant position acquisition, workflow optimization, team development, communication between clinics and labs, and why Aaron believes some of the newest scanning technologies may actually be creating new challenges for clinicians. Beyond the technology, Aaron explains how problem solving, leadership, and patient communication have shaped his approach to dentistry. From managing complex full-arch cases to predicting where digital workflows and artificial intelligence are headed next, this episode offers practical insights for clinicians, technicians, and anyone interested in the future of implant dentistry.
