Join us for an insightful episode as I chat with Dr Steve Soukoulis, the founding member of the Dental Implant Registry (DIR). Dr Soukoulis graduated with a master of periodontics in 2001 after completing a clinical residency at the Adelaide Dental Hospital. At that time he also worked in the medically compromised clinic giving him well-rounded experience in dental trauma, dental patients with systemic diseases, and implantology. He now owns a practice in South Australia. He founded DIR to address the challenges in implant identification and regulatory compliance, making it a crucial tool for dental professionals.

DIR is a registration platform that improves communication and information sharing among dental professionals. Whether you’re treating a new patient and unsure of the type of implant or abutment they have or need clarity on regulatory and record-keeping requirements, DIR provides the solutions you need. Dr Soukoulis will discuss how DIR benefits practices, patients, and the industry.
