Dr. Puterman Q&A
Dr. Puterman offers leading expertise and proven experience in all aspects of periodontics, implant surgery, IV sedation, complex bone and soft tissue regeneration and laser periodontics (LANAP). Periodontists normally complete a 3-year residency after dental school in order to become a periodontist. Because Dr. Puterman recognized the benefits of further expertise with dental implants, he also completed an additional 3-year residency in Implant Dentistry. For dental school, he attended Boston University, followed by the dual residency programs and a Master’s Degree at California’s Loma Linda University. The intense dual residency training involved treating the most complex case types, and included advanced training in bone and soft tissue grafting, microsurgery, prosthodontics, anesthesia, sedation, and the treatment of various oral pathologies. He is one of a handful of periodontists in the world with his superior level of specialized training.
Originally from Montreal, Canada, Dr. Puterman lives in the Washington, DC area with his wife, Jennifer, and his sons, Asher and Nathaniel. While he is open to the idea of his boys cheering for the Capitals and Nationals, his heart still belongs to the Canadiens and long-lost Expos.
- What motivated you to purchase the 3D surgical microscope for your practice?
I’d always been interested in microscopy for surgery for the benefit or accuracy and precision and minimal invasiveness. Then when I found out I had a torn hip labrum from all the bending over to look at the palate, I realized it was time.
- How has the 3D surgical microscope benefited you ergonomically compared to your previous setup?
It’s the natural body position that means everything for me. I was using loupes before, so although I could see closer, I still had to move myself into position to get a view of the surgical site. Now I move the scope instead of myself.
- Could you describe the learning curve associated with using the 3D surgical microscope? How long did it take you to become proficient?
It didn’t take long at all for me, probably within a few surgeries to feel comfortable. It helps that I used it as much as I could so that I’d get used to it quickly.
- Do you feel that your work quality has improved since you started using the 3D surgical microscope? If so, in what ways?
Yes, just like going from no magnification to loupes increases work quality, this takes a similar leap. We can only do what we can see.
- Has the use of the 3D surgical microscope also improved the ergonomic conditions for your dental assistants? How so?
Yes, for sure. Before using it, my assistants would bend over trying to see in the patients mouth but typically unable to see much. Now they look at the screen, and of course still look in the mouth, but it’s not because they’re trying to see what I’m doing.
- On a scale of 1 to 10, how important would you rate the 3D surgical microscope in your daily practice?
It’s definitely a 10. I have three of them and use it on every single patient I do surgery on.
- How does the 3D surgical microscope compare to using traditional ergonomic loupes or a standard microscope in terms of comfort and effectiveness?
I had little experience with a traditional scope in residency but when I started researching them, I always found it challenging to get comfortable when using one on the exhibit floor at a conference. You had to sit just right, not move and had to readjust whenever you look away. With the 3D scope, my posture is natural, I don’t need to sit in a particular position.
- Can you share any specific examples or cases where the 3D surgical microscope has made a significant difference in your work?
With a traditional scope you don’t have any peripheral vision and can’t see your patient. Since I do a lot of IV sedation, that didn’t make me comfortable. With the 3D scope I can see the entire surgical field and keep an eye on the patient while doing the surgery. I find it safer for sedation procedures.
