Samuel MossSpectatorBob, Ron, Glenn, et al,
Just to let ya’ll know that I am stoked about the Vegas meeting this coming weekend. Having that many users from so many places doing so many things, I believe this will be a real breakthrough weekend. Looking forward to seeing all of you there.
Travel safely,
Mossman
Glenn van AsSpectatorWhat a great meeting Bob, Del, Janna and the rest of the Millenium crew put on (like Krystal etc)…..
It was great education wise to hear Ron Schalter on websites and the internet and computers. His lecture was polished and really was well done.
It was also great hearing Ray Yukna talk about the research on the topic and finally it was great seeing some others like Hack2 who was there and introduced himself and we shared a laugh or two and a drink or two and finally Andy, Mossman, kelly Blodgett, Del, Bob, Ron Schalter and others ( I may have forgotten some so I apologize in my sleep deprived state) and lectures by Lloyd Tilt and Leigh Colby were great and were entertaining and informative on the Periolases capability to help with perio.
Moderators and Emcees Dawn Bloore (not hard on the eyes) and Dr. Long did a great job.
I had fun and thanks for inviting me to speak , its always an honour.
Glenn
Robert Gregg DDSSpectatorThanks Glenn,
It was a honor to have you present, and as usual, it was a great presentation.
Sam, It was great to see you and your family. I hope you got a chance to chat with Ray Yukna.
Ron, you were excellent. More please?
Here’s my summary:
The MDT Clinicians’ meeting was, I thought and from the feedback I received, a big success in creating value for the attendees. 108 or so registrants.
The topics ranged from the research with Dr. Yukna, to the clinical extenstion of other lasers and applications with Glenn van As, to the basic science and laser physics with David Harris ( a nice review and different perspective), and the excitement and enthusiasm for LANAP by Dawn Bloore. Leigh Colby challenged the group by trying bone grafting techniques on teeth before giving deep vertical defects a chance 1st with LANAP.:confused: :confused: THAT generated a lot of discussion…….
Lloyd Tilt gave a personal and heartfelt presentation on the personal, spiritual, professional and return rewards of LANAP and community assistance. Ron Schalter hit a home run discussing the internet, website, and laser forum postings (very nice job Ron), Paxton Quigley (MDT PR person) and Suzan Fiskin’s (professional speaker coach) pre-meeting workshop were surprise additions to the weekend as we had some ideas we wanted to try and see if there was interest for expanded program additions next year–YES was the answer.
Looks like next year will be expanded to 3 days and have afternoons off for family and other activities. Las Vegas seems to be a preferred venue. Any other ideas are welcome…..
Thanks to all who participated and attended, and all the work that the guys and gals at MDT who put it on–especially Chrystalle.
Thanks to our sponsors, especially Eric Compton of Comprehensive Dental Services (CDS) and Florida Probe, Wyatt Wilson of Acteon/Satelec, and Aaron Faber of USBancorp capital equipment funding.
We will keep trying to keep the presentation topics fresh yet germaine to lasers, LANAP and clinical and practical success in our private pratices. “Seminar King” Bruce Baird has already agreed to present at next year’s meeting.
Hope to see more of you all next year.
Bob

AnonymousGuestBob/Del, Thanks for putting on such a great meeting. Lots of info and a great resort. The food was unbelievable.
I think I’m only 99+ lectures behind Glenn, 1000+ behind you, so if you make me step out of my comfort zone again, I can at least not fall too much further behind (not that I’d ever catch up in presentation skills- you guys are awesome) .
Glenn van AsSpectatorHey Ron……you didnt eat or drink as much as me…….
Also I forgot to mention that it was great seeing Todd, Rusty and of course my good buddy Jeff Cranska who is getting a new office soon. The wives are also great to see, so it was nice meeting Michelle (Sams better half) and of course Janna (Bobs way better half!! and her mom to boot!!).
It was fun Bob and I thoroughly enjoyed finding out where the Peiolase is going to be in Canada first!!
Now I have to start bringing it piece by piece by piece back into the country……gonna be murder at those security checks!!
cya
and thanks
Glenn
Glenn van AsSpectatorAw shoot and I forgot Dean Moriarity, aka Johny Bravo sleeping in the Aladdin……..sheesh how could I forget that.
Well I tell you its the people that really make it more fun to go to the meetings. The education is great but the people are such a fun thing to catch up with.
Gotta go sleep…..more tests in the am

Ron,
You were smooth, natural, and came off great. Even if you felt nervous you presented very well. You will only get and feel better.
The most imprtant thing is to know your subject and present it at the level of those who know little about it–and practice, of course, like you mentioned that you did.
Looking forward to your idea.
Glenn, somehow we ended up at Ceasars instead of the Alladin……oh well, Sleping Dean would have made a great picture. Get healthy soon! Lase often.
Bob
