Like, getting the ceramic to get the correct fluorescence and shade and shape is tricky. Jaz's Introduction:So we rely a lot on our lab, but the communication to actually get that color, that shade perfect, can be really challenging. Now, as you guys know, I do a lot of resin bonded bridges. And so I do face this challenge a fair bit, trying to match a pontic of a lateral incisor, for example, or a lower central incisor to the adjacent teeth can be really tricky. So I've been stung a few times whereby technically my bridge has been awesome, but the shade has let us down. So this is a real art. This is a real tricky thing. But today we've got Dr. Imi Nasser, who's going to share his entire protocol with us. Imi's one of these annoying dentists on Instagram, right? He is just brilliant. at everything. Like you see him post a class 2 restoration that's just absolutely flawless, and then all of a sudden he's doing all the soft tissue grassing, temporization, and a beautiful single central incisor that matches flawlessly to all the other teeth. And you think, how does he do it? And he does it consistently, time after time after time. I've seen him post central incisors, lateral incisors that are just shade and characterization perfect. So I asked him to come on the podcast to spill all the beans. How can we take the stress out of shade matching and how can we make sure we nail it every time? Because the crazy thing in here from today's episode is that actually, Imi doesn't bring his patients back for like a try in and a retry and then send the patient to the lab to get a custom shade. He doesn't do any of that, right? It is just amazing. His level of communication is fantastic and that's how he gets great results and we're going to share that all with you today. So don't go anywhere, Protruserati. Hello, Protruserati, I'm Jaz Galati, and welcome back to the Protrusive Dental Podcast. I've been a bit sick for a few weeks, so I haven't been in front of the camera. Finally almost got my voice back fully. I think it's some nasty bug that's been going around, and it doesn't help that I'm not sleeping much because I've got a six-month-old baby, like my son, Sihaan. Great kid, bad sleeper. So it has been a challenge and a shock to the old immune system, but I'm finally getting back to my best. Sorry that I had to cancel a monthly grind coaching course. So every month of my split course, we do like a coaching call.
