We are in the midst of a technological revolution in dentistry. It’s a whirlwind of digital capturing of patient data, enhanced visualization and diagnostic capabilities, interconnected workflows that optimize efficiency, and engaging forms of patient communication. A dentist 20 years ago would have been hard-pressed to dream all of this up.

It’s not surprising that many dentists today struggle to keep up with all of the latest innovations. Which technologies will transform your practice, and which ones will just collect dust in the corner? As we learn to adapt our teams and ourselves to this revolution, there are dentists who do much of the difficult investigative testing and report back their unbiased results.

Cellerant Consulting Group is a notable example. Each year, Lou Shuman, CAGS, assembles technology experts at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting for spirited debate over who deserves the coveted Cellerant Best of Class Technology Award. This year, Paul Feuerstein, DMD; Marty Jablow, DMD; John Flucke, DDS; and I argued into the wee hours of the morning. No punches were thrown—we’re as friendly as we are passionate about innovation.

Without further ado, here are the 2018 winners of the Cellerant Best of Class Technology Awards.
