The international organization, founded in 1995, consists of several thousand marketing, communication, advertising, public relations, digital, and web professionals.

Implant Fundamentals Article

As dental technology continues to advance, general dentists are increasingly handling a wider range of implant cases, including more complex procedures, within their own practices. This shift has led to a growing demand for dental laboratories with specialized knowledge and advanced training to support these cases. The creative team behind Inside Dental Technology, led by Jennifer Barlow, Manager of Print Design, captured this trend with a striking design. To highlight the relevance of the article, Barlow used an illustration of a dental implant emerging like a plant, symbolizing the growth of both implant demand and the role of laboratories in the evolving dental landscape. This visual not only reinforces the article’s theme but also underscores the critical need for expert support in today’s implant procedures.

Oral Cancer Screening Article

Under optimal conditions, dental hygienists typically see their patients twice a year, and among healthcare professionals they are uniquely positioned to screen for oral cancer — a major health risk affecting many individuals. As this article in Inside Dental Hygiene highlights, the brief moments a dental hygienist spends examining patients for subtle tissue changes can make a life-saving difference. To illustrate the urgency of this topic, the creative team led by Barlow used an eye-catching image of a mouth agape, along with bold typography.
