The Importance of Indexing in Dentistry

In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Pasquale Venuti represents Tomorrow Tooth aka 'the other voice of Dentistry'. He is a renowned dentist who is not afraid to express his controversial views. While he may challenge the modern techniques taught in dental schools today, he brings attention to the shortcomings in current practices and encourages critical thinking. Dr. Jaz and Dr. Pasquale explore various topics that challenge traditional dental practices, including subgingival caries, flat onlays, post crowns, and cement selection. By raising practical and applicable questions, they encourage dentists to question established norms and seek better solutions for their patients. https://youtu.be/tZp4s0Wj2zY Watch PDP152 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: New Restoration Needed and the Patient has an existing occlusal appliance. What can you do? Imagine a Stabilisation Splint -  For patients who rely on an occlusal appliance - how do you manage the scenario if they need a restoration? Do you need to make a new occlusal appliance? ? Not really. You just have to gouge out the acrylic where the new restoration was placed (intaglio surface of splint). If the splint fits well, no further adjustments are needed otherwise additional acrylic can be added to provide retention (like a partial reline of the splint over your new restoration. Don't forget that vaseline!) Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below!

Jaz's Introduction:IThe Anti Biomimetic Dentist, well, for those of you who know the Italian Stallion, Dr. Pasquale Venuti, he's just amazing. And he's not shy to express his views. He's very controversial, and he won't mind me saying this right? And it's not like he's like completely in the fringe. He's not like, ozone. He's not removing people's amalgams to cure them of their erectile dysfunction or whatever. Whatever, he is not fringe. He's just on the other side of what we get taught at dental school nowadays. The adhesive approach, but what Pasquale is great at is, is pointing out the shortcomings in the modern techniques, right? What's wrong with fiber posts? What's wrong with blindly following adhesive dentistry? So, what tomorrow tooth, the group, that Pasquale is part of is so good at just expressing the other voice of dentistry, take nothing at face value. So I think you're gonna really enjoy this episode.
