Ask Marty: What are you using to access drug information in your practice?
A: I gave up using the print version of Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) many years ago after I installed Internet access in my office. The biggest problem with the written version of a drug data reference book is that the information is obsolete before it is even published.

Ask Marty: What should I look for in a new LED curing light?
A: The nice thing about LED (light emitting diode) curing lights is that they are lightweight and cordless. They are also quiet, as they do not need fans for cooling. The most important thing when considering a LED curing light is to find one that fits your hand and is easy to control.
