Jason and Alan speak with Dr. Mitch Ellingson about running a business. Mitch is in charge of Spear Practice Solutions, the business/consulting arm of Spear Education. Most dentists are going to run into this quandry...how can you be a great clinician and run a great business. Mitch has some thoughts. A lot of them as it turns out! Some of what we discussed:

• The difference between a consultant and a business system
• Can your life look like a Newport cigarette commercial?
• What does "big data" look like with Spear Practice Solutions?
• Case acceptance...it's not like you think (spoiler: it's about recare efficiency)
• What is leadership really? How can Spear Practice Solutions help with this?
• Are consultants really just brought in to fire someone?
• How does investing in the team make a difference in your leadership and team performance?
• Garbage in/Garbage out and practice management software

Dr. Michael Gunson is an oral surgeon who does just one thing. Orthognathic surgery. He joins Jason and Alan to talk about his understanding or the TM joint, occlusion and how that's changed over the years. Some of our topics include:

• Treating the TMJ is complicated. No two joints are the same. No two patients are the same.
• What is temporomandibular dysfunction?
• Does the literature measure what we think it's measuring?
• How is treating TMJ troubles like understanding schizophrenia?
• How does communication, listening and empathy relate to treating pain and dysfunction patients?
• Nose breathing and pattern recognition
• Pathology isn't in the thing, the pathology is in the relationships of the things
• Adaptation and asking the wrong question
• Hormone imbalances and classic presentations of TM dysfunction/facial development
• The checklist gets longer and longer (like a CVS receipt)
• What is interdisciplinary treatment?
• Where do dentists fit in facial esthetics?
• Mike will be teaching in a new, updated interdisciplinary treatment planning course from Spear Educastion with rock stars like Dr. Rebecca Bockow, Dr. Gregg Kinzer and Dr. Jim Janakievski!

Our clinical outcomes often depend on light cured materials. Dentists take for granted that their lights are delivering the right amount of energy, but how can you know? If you have more than one light, are they delivering the same amount? How can you make sure you aren't undercuring your light activated materials while minimizing the heat from your curing light? Alan and Jason are joined by Dr. Chris Salierno and Chris Felix of Bluelight Analytics to talk about curing lights! Chris is the chief scientist at Bluelight Analytics which is a company that helps dentists measure the quality and intensity of the curing lights in dental offices.

Jason and Alan had the privilege of sitting down with the one and only Dr. Frank Spear. We had an hour during the Spear Summit to pick up where we left off from episode 235 and it was very interesting. Frank opened the meeting with a talk that discussed the stories that dentists tell each other about where the profession is going and then presented some data that suggests a lot of these stories aren't exactly true. Some of the things we discussed:

• Why do insurance companies cover thing so differently from state to state?
• The beauty of practicing in groups. But not necessarily a DSO.
• Could someone become Frank Spear in the way that Frank did considering student debt as it is now?
• How did beautiful temporaries make a difference in Frank's career?
• Why does Frank feel responsible to help the narrative that dentists tell each other?
• What's the data the Frank would really like to see?
• Why is it so impossible to compare dental businesses and income across the country? How can you compare apples to apples?
• Take home message: things are better than dentists are telling themselves!
• What is dental school like when your dad is Frank Spear?
• How could dental school teach things with more context?
• Are there useful parallels between dental and medical education?
• How will Frank's teaching schedule be changing in the future?
• How is the curriculum at Spear Education changing?
• What kind of "big numbers" has Frank been impressed with lately? (spoiler: it has to do with Spear Practice Solutions)
