Episode Run Time: 00:50:58
Intro
Today, I talk to Dr. Harris Schlen, the clinical director of MoreDent. He was formerly the principal dentist at SV Dental Centre with over 30 years of clinical experience and an educator in the field of implant dentistry. During the early days of digital dentistry, Dr. Schlen was initially reluctant to try guided surgery. After experiencing its effectiveness first-hand, he has since been a proud advocate for digital dentistry and guided implant dentistry.
In this third episode of the dental implant audio residency series, we talk about the digital workflow and the technological advances in implant dentistry. Dr. Harris Schlen also shares his tips for how to use guides effectively and how to succeed in implant dentistry.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
