for this editorial. I’ll admit, I’m a little stuck on what to say. My
friend and copy editor, John Roark, has told me that when stuck
on what to write, write about what I see. And that is what I’m
about to do, write frommy perspective.
Perspective — a view or vista. Or better yet — a mental view
or outlook. I believe the view is looking pretty good right now.
The outlook is very bright. There is, frommy perspective, never
a better time to be involved in dentistry.
During my career, I have not necessarily had relationships in
dentistry in my own geographic local area. And yet, some of my
closest friendships are with those who are involved one way or
another in dentistry. That, once again, was shown to me at the
recent Mentor Group Annual Symposium. Not only did I get the
opportunity to learn from those I consider to be friends, but I had
the opportunity to reconnect with existing friends andmake new

A Matter of Perspective
ones. And frommy perspective, these are the people who are and
will make a positive influence in this profession.
And what great changes are taking place in the profession.
From my beginnings in dentistry — with plaster of paris and the
wonderful smell of rubber base —we are now in the technological
age of digital impressions. We are at the time in dentistry where
we have a choice to send a case to a laboratory or do it ourselves,
digitally. From full-mouth reconstructions with the help of a lab, to
restoring implants by fabricating our own
abutments and crowns, we have choices.
Andnowadays, somanysupport systems
are present. I know I’m biased, but from
my perspective, cerecdoctors.com has a
vast array of those systems. And now,
Dr. Sameer Puri and his development
team have come up with another — the
cerecdoctors.comapp.Make sureyoucheck
out the story on this newdevelopment.
Like I said before, I don’t believe there
has been a better time to be involved
with dentistry. For me, it is because of
all the technological advances in digital
dentistry. And because of these advances
and those that are sure to come, the
outlook is exciting and bright.
Once again, it is my intent — and the
aim of all of us associated with cerecdoctors.com — to keep you
abreast of how digital dentistry is changing and progressing. By
bringing you the app, the website, the magazine and hands-on
courses, we hope you share the view that it is good to be part of
this profession. Enjoy.
