Here’s the cover of the latest issue of Endo Tribune — which includes my report from the recent Midwinter Meeting in Chicago, in which Dr. Allen Ali Nasseh, a practicing endodontist from Boston, announced recent developments in bioceramic nanotechnology for root canal treatment. The article is published on the Dental Tribune website — direct link here — or if you click on the page 1 image below, it will open in a larger window.
I have met Dr. Nasseh several times and have heard him speak. He is considered one of the most knowledgeable and innovative endodontists in the world.
It was another visit to Chicago recently, for the annual Midwinter Meeting, conducted by the Chicago Dental Society. I was there for Dental Tribune, where we published three issues of our daily at-show newspaper. I wrote up several articles and about the event, and I took plenty of photographs — mostly in the exhibit hall — for publication in print and online.
My article about the annual celebration conducted by America’s Toothfairy: National Children’s Health Foundation, is posted to the Dental Tribune website here; and about Curve Dental, here.
Here are images from some of the pages of the show daily publication:
One of the most interesting parts of my job at Dental Tribune is editing our endodontic magazine, called “roots.” The cover of the latest issue of roots features a photograph of a “TrueTooth” tooth replica, which is now used for training of endodontists, also known as root canal specialists.
The TrueTooth replicas are the invention of Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan of California, who is a brilliant dentist, lecturer and inventor. I interviewed Dr. Buchanan about his new tooth replicas and how they are used for endodontic education. If you have ever had a root canal, it’s the pulp chamber (or roots) that the dentist cleans out and fills. The more complex the canals, the more difficult the treatment — which is why it’s a good idea to go to a specialist if you ever need a root canal!

I recently interviewed Tom Gallop, CEO of SS White, a company that manufactures endodontic equipment for root canal specialists. The Q&A is on the Dental tribune website — direct link here — as well as on Page 1 of the new issue of Endo Tribune. If you click on the pages below they will open bigger:

I recently attended the Chicago Dental Society’s annual Midwinter Meeting, to cover the event for Dental Tribune. I wrote several articles for our at-show newspaper, which we published on site during the event.
For one of the articles I interviewed the president of a company behind a handheld X-ray machine, which allows for increased flexibility in treating patients. For another I interviewed the president of a company that has developed an innovative curing light.
I always find it fascinating to learn about technology like this.
Dental Tribune published a daily newspaper at the Greater New York Dental Meeting, held recently at the Javits Center. I wrote several articles and took lots of pictures.
For one of the articles, I interviewed executives from Henry Schein Dental about a new initiative to help patients and doctors understand how all conditions, from oral health to whole body health, affect a person’s overall wellbeing. For another article, I interviewed a software developer about some patient communication tools he helped develop.
I also wrote a “things to do in New York City” article for those who traveled to the event from out of town.

Last month, I made a work trip to Las Vegas for the American Dental Association’s Annual Session, held at Mandalay Bay. I was one of the editors on site from Dental Tribune. We published three issues of our at-show newspaper.
As part of my on-site reporting I interviewed Olympic athletes Rick Merlo and Brittany Hayes, who both won silver medals in Beijing for water polo! They were at the event to tout high-tech mouthguards. My article is available on the Dental Tribune website — link here.
I also photographed boxing legend Mike Tyson, who was signing boxing gloves in the exhibit hall!
Here are some of the articles I wrote and spot photographs I took on site for Dental Tribune, and a follow-up article I wrote for Endo Tribune. Click any of the pages to see them bigger:
I recently went to Washington, D.C., for work, to cover the annual session of the American Association of Orthodontists. One of the interviews I conducted was with the president of a company that manufactures orthodontic appliances — also known as braces. Turns out that not only is he the president of the company, he is also a customer! He was wearing braces himself.
Here is my article as it appeared in the “at-show” edition of Ortho Tribune:
I’ve just been to Chicago for the annual Midwinter Meeting, which is attended by thousands of dentists. I was there as part of my job with Dental Tribune. We published three issues of an at-show newspaper, which offers news about the meeting and information about new products on display.
I wrote several articles on site, for publication in our daily issues. I interviewed a dental assistant from Rochester, N.Y., about special equipment that allows a dental practice to take digital X-rays. I interviewed an entrepreneur who has a mobile van that allows patients to have high-resolution diagnostic images taken. I also interviewed executives from a company that manufactures lasers that are used in dental treatment.
In addition, I wrote about an event conducted by National Children’s Oral Health Foundation: America’s Toothfairy, which is a non-profit organization that facilitates delivery of dental care to children whose parents cannot afford it.
