The most popular articles include a lawsuit against three of the dental industry's largest companies, and dental organizations backing flossing after the release of a critical report on the evidence behind the practice. Read these articles here.
Regarding columns, those from Dr. Benjamin Burris, William S. Spiegel and Dr. Marc R. Leffler, and Dr. Alvin Danenberg feature prominently. Topics include the future of dental practice, new ways to think about treating disease, and patient communication. Read these columns here.

We'll follow a reduced publishing schedule on Monday, January 2, but resume our usual complete coverage on Tuesday, January 3. All of us here at DrBicuspid.com wish you a happy and safe new year.
