## Resource

In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked art of communicating effectively with your dental laboratory. Dentists and technicians exchange information daily across multiple channels and on a vast range of clinical and technical matters. Yet, as Dentolegal consultant, Dr Simon Parsons notes, many opportunities to strengthen this communication and ultimately improve clinical outcomes are frequently missed. To understand why this happens and what clinicians can do to bridge the gap, Dr Annalene Weston speaks with Simon, who brings a unique dual perspective shaped by his time working within a large dental laboratory and his own clinical experience. Join us for a conversation that may just transform the way you work with your lab.
