Avoid Nightmare On Lab Street: Fall Weather & Your Laboratory
Whip Mix Corp. · Miscellaneous · October 15, 2013
If you live in a city with similar weather patterns to Louisville, KY, you may also be noticing the seasons are a-changing. What's nice is that we can turn off the A/C and open the windows. Turn on a fan...See more during the day when the sun's out and then grab an extra blanket at night when the sun goes down and we're all set. While all of this may be spectacular if you are taking advantage of 'perfect football weather', this change of season could be wreaking havoc in your lab. Below are some tips on how you can avoid turning into the Wicked Witch of the West this fall and winter... Follow recommended water/powder ratios when using both gypsum and investment products. Note: expect a seasonal change in this ratio for phosphate investments to keep correct expansion; this is normal and not a condition of faulty investment. When storing your gypsum and investment products, make sure the boxes are sealed properly and placed in a temperature-control area (ex: cabinet/drawer). Look at your investment to see if you require a special liquid that is NOT freeze stable and stock up before fall turns to winter (ex: SLC+ for Whip Mix investments Formula 1, Powercast & Polyvest). Make sure you are using separate mixing bowls for gypsum and phosphate products, as they are not friends and you may notice gypsum not setting properly if contaminated with phosphate. Check your bowls to make sure they're clean and in good condition. Worn bowls can result in loss of expansion for your phosphates. For more help on how you can take advantage of treats, not tricks this fall, contact our Technical Support Team.

What's On the Dentist's Mind: Key Forces Reshaping the Dental Landscape
LMT Communications, Inc. · The Changing Landscape of Dentistry · Digital Dentistry · Sep 2013
On the heels of LMT's September special coverage, The Changing Landscape of Dentistry, about the changing demographics, business models and other factors influencing your client base, the ADA just released...See more an in-depth report, A Profession in Transition: Key Forces Reshaping the Dental Landscape, touching on many of the same topics. Here are some key findings from the report: Per capita expenditures are expected to grow over the coming decades, but at a very slow rate. In 2010, per capita dental expenditures were $269. Projected expenditures range from a conservative $277 to an optimistic $325 by 2040. Older Americans are expected to account for a growing share of dental expenditures over the coming decades. Specifically, Seniors ages 60-79 will account for about 32% of all dental expenditures by 2040, followed by children with about 24%. The largest growth will be in adults ages 70-79 whose proportion of total expenditures is expected to double between 2010 and 2040. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is expected to expand children's dental benefits, both public and private and is also expected to generate an additional 13.8 million dental visits per year.
