We are very excited to start off Season 2 of The Digital Dental Podcast with George Schilli, the founder and CEO of SIC invent - a Swiss/German implant manufacturer with a rich history that traces back to PI Brånemark and the very inception of the dental implant itself. SIC invent's outstanding quality and dedication to innovative products result from the creative, collegial collaboration of SIC's namesake: the “Schilli Implantology Circle” - an expert team of enthusiastic clinicians, dental technicians, and engineers from around the world. In this episode, Georg shares with us what it takes to establish and build a global implantology innovator, how the Schilli Implantology Circle selects and invites new members, and why the dentist's chair is one of his favorite places to take a nap.
