![]() ![]() You have a smaller instrument, a 2007 if this one's too big and you can't proceed easily in advance to link. That will do about 85% of all teeth and canals that visit your office. It is oftentimes the only one you will use oftentimes means about 85% of the time if you are a general dentist. We have a primary instrument that is usually the first one that you would select and use. You might want to look into that a little bit more. The IQ will allow you to get your own instrument sequences and it's got a touch pad, it's Blue Tooth to your hand piece so they can talk to each other, and you can do amazing things. You might have one already if you don't, the X-Smart Plus is really a good one. Okay, let's look at WaveOne a little bit deeper. And of course we were looking to do something that would be superbly safe and incredibly efficient and super simple. And Willy must have stepped out – probably bad behavior – but anyway, the three of us then were able to get our thoughts on paper and with the engineers, the project really did commence. And then there was a new factory, part of the plant built, so we had hard hats and had some fun. So here we are at the factory in the foot of the Alps, just in a little village called, and you can see Willy Pertot here on the left in the Levis, Sergio from Florida, Willy's from Paris, and the little guy, the third guy from the left – I think he's standing on a box – but his name is Julian Webber, really good guy and then I'm with my team. But we could probably look right now and see the four principals. But after about one year, VDW wanted Ghassan Yared he went that way and some other guys went on to other projects. We had Ben, Pierre, Cliff, John West, Julian Webber, Sergio Kuttler, Willy or Wilhelm Pertot, and finally Ghassan Yared, so there were eight people. So Ben asked me to choose the team so I chose. ![]() So I want to bring in Ben Johnson, because Ben Johnson which many of you know internationally – we could probably call him the “Father of NiTi” – he, on our behalf, went to corporate on our behalf and convinced corporate over many, many years that it was a worthy project and there was a market for it. No momentum happened the company, Dentsply Sirona, at this time it's called, wasn't really interested. Anyway, Pierre Machtou had a very interesting idea of using unequal, bidirectional angles. And you stayed in his apartment in Paris you might recall for probably more than a year when you were taking language but that Pierre Machtou. So Pierre Machtou, Professor Machtou, which many people know internationally very, very smart guy had been doing quality endodontics for decades. It was kind of a messy start because usually projects are three or four people, but this was eight people. So we all saw those lines last year did you see those pictures of those lines? This is interesting that we're doing this now, because when this show airs it's going to be April or May, so that's like the time of the year, the only time of the year that you can actually summit Everest where the weather is good enough. A lot of people died a storm came in unexpectedly. Then while he was up there, they had their worst disaster in May of 1996 that they had ever had. And just to give you just a really brief description of it, this author, Jon Krakauer, worked for Outside Magazine and he was hired by them or commissioned by them to go and to summit Everest, to join an expedition and summit Everest, and the main point of his article or book or whatever he was going to write was he was going to talk about the growing commercialism on the mountain. And here's the book, it's called Into Thin Air and it's by Jon Krakauer. We both have not even read it recently – it's just a book we read a while ago – but it's always stuck with us and it's come up in conversations a lot. But we just picked a book that we both really like. We thought it would be good for the first show of our second season to start off with a book recommendation, and we'll do this every now and then, not a lot of the time, so you don't have to be reading all the time. ![]()
