In Episode 16 of The Technology Evangelist Podcast, sponsored by Medidenta Digital Solutions, Dr. John Flucke reunites with longtime colleague Noah Levine, Editorial Director at Conexiant Dental. With over 15 years in dental journalism, Noah oversees publications like Inside Dentistry, Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry, and ADA News.
The conversation covers:
- Origin Story: Noah’s unexpected entry into dental media from newspapers, starting at Dental Products Report and evolving through roles at Dental Compare and now Conexiant.
- Journalism in Dentistry: Bridging the mouth-body connection for broader audiences, emphasizing oral health’s systemic impact and the role of media in education.
- AI in Publishing & Dentistry: AI as a tool for outlines, transcription, and diagnostics—not a replacement. Human expertise ensures accuracy, ethics, and originality.
- Digital Workflow Evolution: From traditional impressions to intraoral scanners, AI-assisted radiography, and the shift toward in-office 3D printing with lab partnerships.
- Industry Trends: Mergers in 3D printing (SprintRay + Desktop Health, Pac-Dent + Ackuretta), DSO growth driving tech adoption, and the future of cleaner, digital labs.
Noah shares patient perspectives on seeking tech-savvy practices and the importance of adapting without abandoning core principles. Contact Conexiant Dental publications for the latest in evidence-based dentistry. Stay tuned for more tech-driven insights on The Technology Evangelist Podcast!
