Ep.10: Rick Ferguson & Dr. John Flucke on Pioneering 3D Printing in Dentistry

Join Dr. John Flucke, a seasoned Technology Evangelist with over 30 years in digital dentistry, as he hosts Dr. Rick Ferguson on Episode 10 of The Technology Evangelist Podcast, proudly sponsored by Medidenta Digital Solutions. Dr. Ferguson, a globally recognized figure in 3D printing and implant dentistry, shares his inspiring journey from a pre-med student at the University of Florida to a dental innovator. His love for tinkering—sparked by taking things apart and building computers—led him to dentistry, where he honed his skills during a residency at the University of Miami, focusing on implants and trauma surgery. Over two decades, he served as part-time faculty, opened a private practice in 1997, and embraced digital dentistry by 2014 with the advent of affordable 3D printers like Formlabs.
