Proud to Announce My Affiliation with Bien Air Academy

 

For well over a decade I've been a huge fan of the Bien Air company.  I've been a fan of electric handpieces almost since they came on the market, but when I got a chance to test drive the Bien Air Optima system all those years ago, I was impressed.  Their handpieces are Swiss engineered and manufactured which means you can feel the quality from the moment you pick one up.

I could write for hours and probably not be able to include all the advantages that come from using electric handpieces.  However, probably the best proof of that was my experience from about a year ago.  It's a long story that I won't go into here, but I was forced to work with air driven handpieces for about a month.

Electric handpieces for me are sort of like the Internet.  By that I mean we often don't even think of how dependent we are on something until we don't have it.  During the four week 'no electric' time in my life I realized just how important electric handpieces are to me.

It seemed that every patient needed a replacement for an existing zirconia crown on a second molar.  Trying to remove one of those with air driven was a challenge and the lack of torque was eye opening for me.  Zirconia is a really difficult material to cut no matter what, but it was incredibly more difficult with an air driven system.  Cutting the groove to allow me to remove them took three to four times longer than normal.  I also found that simple things like crown preps and margin finishing was also much more difficult.  To sum it up,  I'm an even bigger fan of electric handpieces after that experience.

That's why I'm honored to be working with the Bien Air Academy to help bring that message to other doctors.  The academy is an online training portal that provides training and educational videos about the advantages and use of electric handpieces.  I'm soon going to be working on creating some 'over the shoulder' videos on dentaforms and different materials to help other doctors understand the advantages of electric handpieces.

The Bien Air Academy is already online so you can go there right now and see what they have to offer.  My videos will be recorded soon.  They aren't available just yet, but they'll be there sometime in the not too distant future.  Head on over to Bien Air Academy and check out what they currently have to offer.  I think you'll be happy with what they have so far!
