Testimonials
After doctors complete the Biomimetic Mastership we ask them to complete a short survey. Here is what they shared:
What were some of your frustrations with practicing traditional dentistry?
“The tooth cycle of death: restoration place, then core crown, then possibly endo. Also, not understanding occlusal effect caries and how many restorations would get recurrent decay. I really did not like telling patients, ‘I did everything I was taught to do, so I do not have an explanation to why you are getting decay or recurrent decay.’ Occlusal effect caries is not even talked about in dental school, but we see it every day.”
How long had you been seeking out the protocols of biomimetic dentistry, and why did you decide to join the Biomimetic Mastership?
“I was following BRD for about two years, trying to incorporate protocols and read the literature but was very overwhelmed and did not feel comfortable incorporating bits and pieces without having an idea of the full picture. I decided to join the mastership based on the examples of work I was seeing on Instagram and because the class was focused on literature not just techniques.”
How do you think understanding the literature of biomimetic dentistry will contribute to your work?
“Being science-based gives me more confidence in applying BRD principles. During the mastership we witnessed the long-lasting vital pulps from David’s gallery and years of experience. It gives a great satisfaction. I am on the path doing ethical dentistry, doing justice to preserving the vitality. I hope every dentist treats the tooth like a human being. Can someone take somebody’s life so easily? Then why should teeth be an exception!”
Anything else you would like to share?
“Thank you so much! This has been a humbling and awesome experience. Seeing all the work that is shared and the fact that we celebrate and lift one another is very refreshing to see”
