Scientifically Speaking

MRC had the opportunity to interview Dr. German Ramirez whilst on a recent visit to Australia.  In this interview he talks about his ongoing research and in particular, the pre-orthodontic use of the TRAINER System™ and tooth alignment with MYOBRACE® as well as answering some frequently asked questions.

MRC Global - A World Perspective

Hello readers.

MRC continues to grow globally across all cultures. What seems to be the key?

Utilisation of a systematic approach by professionals and patients.

MRC are working hard to produce a range of educational tools designed to deliver information easily. Simplicity and ease of duplication are very important coupled with the doctor's enthusiasm to get the message out there. MRC helps with better faces, easier and more effective treatments and certainly better profitability within clinics.

The NEW MRC 12-page brochure compiles all the information you need to know about the systems. MRC's 3-page flip chart is designed specifically for use in consultations and combined with the Complete Systems CD-ROM, will assist you in making the concepts clear and easy to understand for your patients.

The success of the products has increased the demand for lectures to be held around the globe on functional appliances from the TRAINER System™. For the dental professionals already using the products it can be a good idea to put some pressure on your local MRC dealer or representative to organise events such as lectures as well. In some cases, MRC can support with a guest lecturer to help the ongoing awareness in the local area and develop better application of the appliances for the professionals.

The Power of the Media

It has been exciting for me to have just worked with Mr. Manuel Bodra in Costa Rica where the acceptance couldn't be better. Immediately after landing at the airport, we were presented with an invitation to appear on a national television network talk-back show to discuss the importance of MRC's appliances to the children and people in the community. Central America certainly is teaching great awareness through the power of the media. Congratulations to Mr. Bodra on this significant advance.

If YOU have any reports of MRC exposure, please let us know.

Regards,
Damien O'Brien

Updated CD-ROMs in additional languages

The multimedia team at MRC have been working hard on updating both the MRC Complete Systems CD-ROM and MYOBRACE® including MBS™ CD-ROM.  We are proud to announce to both our representatives and doctors that the updated version is now available. 

Order your FREE CD-ROM
(sent via your nearest representative).

Also, we are working through translations of our videos and CD-ROM products and will be announcing these additional languages in the near future.

Lectures by Wire

The multimedia team at MRC are currently developing a system in which a lecture can be broadcast live across the internet to many viewers or directly into a lecture theatre utilising video streaming and video conferencing technology.

This potentially allows lectures to be delivered on-demand, without the necessity of a presenter to attend in person. This also opens up possibilities of communications with more remote areas and smaller communities not usually on lecture circuits.

We hope to demonstrate this new technology in the near future. Interest should be directed to your local representative.

If you are interest in participating in a test broadcast please contact me.

Thanks everyone.
Aaron Young
Head of Educational Media and Communications for MRC.
