Good afternoon, dear colleagues and visitors of this WEB-site, my name is Apokin Alexander Dmitrievich, I am a dentist. This is a private WEB-site, it was created to aggregate information about the products and dental instruments of Polydentia company for therapeutic dentistry (caries and restorative dentistry). I continue information research in therapeutic dentistry and after the skeleton of the optibond.ru site was formed, I took up composites. I looked at what everyone does, and decided to accumulate information now on instruments for isolation in the oral cavity with rubber dams. Work on this site has now begun and I want to discuss several ideas with you. I will be very glad to receive feedback from you and possible evaluation of them.
I like the level that information resources for dentists have now reached. A separate, especially difficult problem is higher education in developing countries. But I believe that there is scope for work, but unfortunately in my own separate direction, as I work. I have been doing the open program Dental Therapy Grand Course for several years now and it distracts me from bad thoughts when I feel like giving up.
1. Can one of you become a co-author and editor of this site
I would like to invite you to work together on the information direction on rubberdam isolation. I also have a lot of experience working with it, but I have another “superpower” – I am a techie and I love IT. The structure of my reception at the clinic is General Dentistry and this determines the depth of my immersion in caries, because I also have to be present in surgery and orthopedics.
How do you feel about taking the post of editor of the polydentia.online website?
I see this site as a version of a periodic electronic professional clinical publication with information on scientific publications and clinical works. Caries with magnification is a bottomless topic. And I would be engaged in data mining in this direction, and technical work on the design of the site. Perhaps you have some of your own ideas and priorities in this area that I do not understand yet. In this version, you yourself will determine what is important and how to present it to people.
2. Gallery of clinical works
If you do not want to do something conceptually in this area, please give permission to publish your works.
For my part, using one example of any case, with your permission, I will debug its publication and design, since technology allows for a much richer design and more interesting display of photographs than social networks allow. It will be indicated everywhere that you are the author and exclusive owner of the copyright to the photo, that any use is possible only with your permission. In my opinion, this is an excellent option for expanding your lobby in the profession and a very competitive industry such as cariesology and composites.
3. Compendium of good current educational programs of lecturers about isolation with rubberdam
Perhaps you will not have time to work on this or simply have other plans and partners, but then I ask your permission to collect and post announcements of your educational programs on the site.
Using the example of the program of a unique dentist and artist – Bundakov A.A. It turned out very well in my opinion, better than he publishes about himself and better than what the training centers did for him.
I believe that another mirror with an announcement and a program of your trainings will be very useful to you and, most importantly, to your potential students. You will determine the strategy for designing programs and where the links from them to which organizers should lead yourself.
At this stage of my career, I like working with sites, this is not a cheap technology, but I cannot draw analogies with publications in social networks and instant messengers, these are different scales of work and quality of the final result.
General provisions for working with information.
Personally, I myself do not like it when information about me is posted on some resources, not because I do not like it. I do not like how it is often designed, that these are some kind of compendium sites of everything with everything. And most importantly, it is very difficult to update information posted anywhere. In my proposals for you, this issue is taken into account at a high technological level. Any option requires that you have a personal account with editor rights and you can either correct or supplement everything that will be done or delete it if necessary. This is an open information position that no company in Russia or professional community can offer me personally.
We have a very fragmented dentistry, everyone is on their own. But now, small teams are better at achieving great results in the information space. An example for me is the site periospot.com – it is evolving and several doctors are jointly creating very cool information materials. Look at it in your spare time and think about what cool things can be done together in our industry in our country.
I managed to make a very interesting program for teaching the use of rubber dams in dentistry, it evolved and very organically took its place in the information field – rubberdamology.com is an excellent example of how people from different countries combined their programs in one site and took the place they wanted.
I really like to use the ring system for Wagotrix.ru matrices – my fun-base project was also well received by the infosphere, as well as a very important material – sanctuary-dental.ru – the site took off
