About the Biomimetic Masterhsip
After doctors complete the Biomimetic Mastership we ask them to complete a short survey. Here is what they shared:
What were some of your frustrations with practicing traditional dentistry?
The tooth cycle of death: restoration place, then core crown, then possibly endo. Also, not understanding occlusal effect caries and how many restorations would get recurrent decay. I really did not like telling patients, ‘I did everything I was taught to do, so I do not have an explanation to why you are getting decay or recurrent decay.’ Occlusal effect caries is not even talked about in dental school, but we see it every day.

How do you think understanding the literature of biomimetic dentistry will contribute to your work?
Being science-based gives me more confidence in applying BRD principles. During the mastership we witnessed the long-lasting vital pulps from David's gallery and years of experience. It gives a great satisfaction. I am on the path doing ethical dentistry, doing justice to preserving the vitality. I hope every dentist treats the tooth like a human being. Can someone take somebody's life so easily? Then why should teeth be an exception!.

How long had you been seeking out the protocols of biomimetic dentistry, and why did you decide to join the Biomimetic Mastership?
I was following BRD for about two years, trying to incorporate protocols and read the literature but was very overwhelmed and did not feel comfortable incorporating bits and pieces without having an idea of the full picture. I decided to join the mastership based on the examples of work I was seeing on Instagram and because the class was focused on literature not just techniques.

SLA Workshops
Here is what doctors share about our Six Lessons Approach workshops:
This was great for me. I think it was the right amount of information and at the right depth for understanding and practical daily application of principles. Everyone was knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer any questions. Both learning experience (didactic and practical) and hospitality were superb. I'd highly recommend this experience. There's nothing like an in-person experience to make the learning unforgettable. Thank you.

The workshop was a great way to practice. Being able to see the live patient demonstration was one of my favorite moments; learning from Davey's workflow will help me to improve my own practice. Also, being able to spend time on the microscope and work with the materials is very valuable for my current and future practice. I loved everything about the workshop! Thank you!

David Alleman, Davey Alleman and the team provide a fantastic preliminary overview of the underlying research, reasoning and techniques of biomimetic dentistry. It is an invaluable starting point for any aspiring doctor in the field; synthesizing sound science into pragmatic, applicable methods for dentists looking to be on the cutting-edge of treatment.
