It’s been proven that both positive and negative thinking have effects on our mental, emotional, and physical health.

It can be hard to be the cheerleaders in our own lives, but it’s true that positive emotions broaden our attention and thinking, seed human flourishing, and trigger upward spirals towards greater well-being.

The book Limitless by Jim Kwik is all about “limiting beliefs” and how they might be holding us back from achieving our biggest dreams.

On this episode of Dentist Brain Candy, I dive into the Limitless book and discuss the article Robotic Assisted Drilling Systems and Prosthetically-Driven Implant Rehabilitation: The Present and Future? Robotic assisted drilling systems (RADS) are cutting-edge and very interesting. I share my thoughts on how they could create breakthroughs in dental surgery and also cause potential complications.

I also cover a 2021 study on if platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) prevents hemorrhagic complications after dental extractions on anticoagulated patients.

Listen in to learn more on how PRF and RADS are being studied, as well as why it is so important to minimize our “limiting beliefs” and prioritize positive self-talk.

Key Takeaways

The details of a study on PRF preventing hemorrhagic complications, as the number of dental extractions and minor surgical procedures has increased significantly in anticoagulated patients.

Why I use extractions and local measure for anticoagulated patients, rather than PRF or Thrombin Topical

How robotic assisted drilling systems (RADS) work and how they may shift oral maxillofacial surgeries in the near future
