    Hi folks: Many of you are familiar with the fact that I am and have been using a surgical operating microscope for most of my dentistry for the last 6 years. Last year we had the inaugral meeting of the Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry Meeting in Scottsdale, Arizona and the second meeting is this year from November 6-8th.

    THere are numerous lectures and some hands on, and a group of individuals using the scope for endo, perio, pros and restorative procedures. The price is right at 450.00 US for the three days and in addition this includes your yearly dues.

    If you want more information on the speakers and the content, check out the web site at

    or at

    I encourage anyone serious about incorporating a microscope into their practice to attend this meeting as this will help them in their desire to not only see what is possible with the scope but also meet people who have created the microscope centered practice.

    Thanks for your interest……….

    Hi Glenn,

    Good to see you back on the forum.

    You are doing a great job in coordinating the CE Program for this event.

    I will be attending and looking forward to learn from an impressive list of clinicans. It is still early in my use of the dental operating microscope, but I feel my dentistry is so much better. I love being up close and personal to the treatment site. The enhanced vision and that beautiful shadowless light…. I look forward to use my scope every chance I get.

    Scottsdale in November sounds like a wonderfully warm place to be!

    Hi Andrew: weird isnt it how nice it is to block out all the distractions and just be able to focus on the tooth at hand. No getting distracted by patients making faces or movement in another area or you assistant doing something.

    I have joked with my assistant that I now need earplugs to make the experience complete so that I dont have to hear the patient groaning!!

    Just kidding.

    The scope changed the way I feel about our profession, it made dentistry fun and enjoyable again and the documentation and ability to involve the patient in the treatment and diagnosis is 2nd to nothing I did before or since.

    Lasers are one heck of alot easier with it as well.

    I am gonna be a little sparse in the fall as I have a very very busy lecture schedule shaping up for this fall and next spring. Articles too so its hectic , but here at laserdentistryforum I will continue to tune in and see how the gurus do it.

    I am off for a few days to Victoria and back on the weekend.

    Gonna be a great meeting in Scottsdale.

    Andrew remind me and I will send you a brochure , as the ones for the conference are really really good.

    Remind me next week and I will send you one.

    Cya soon buddy

    Hey Glenn,

    Looks like a good time.

    Sorry I can’t make it this year–I’ve got a tennis tournament that weekend. I’ll be trying to tear some part of my body…….

    Hey, How come none of the laser companies are exhibitors, I wonder?

    You and Andrew have fun. Hope to join you all next year.

    Hi Bob……..its just the second year of the meeting, only 2 scope companies came last year.

    THis year all three of the biggies and now some of the loupes companies.

    Next year who knows.

    Its a really progressive group, amazing what some people are doing with the scope.

    WE will want you there and it will be in November and let me know if you want to lecture there with the meeting, I can get you in as I will be VP again.

    Glenn
