If you're wondering why I sound different, or if you're looking around thinking, hmm, this isn't Jaz's usual studio, it's because my studio is a conservatory, and it is absolutely roasting right now. Jaz's Introduction:So, to spare you my sweat patches, I am recording in my living room, and I've got about three minutes before my wife and kids come home, so let's crack on. Look, crowns and bridges, anything indirect is a big steep learning curve when you're a student. But what I'm hoping to cover today will not only help guide students, but also is like a basic revision of indirect restorative. I remember being taught PFM, porcelain fused to metal crowns, and speaking to Emma, our Protrusive student, she's also learning porcelain fused to metal. Let me tell you, in the real world, many of our restorations are all ceramic. So Emma really was interested in learning more about this. So remember, Emma's our protrusive student, follow her journey through all these episodes. And really, I'm getting Emma to ask all the relevant questions because sometimes you lose touch in the struggles of when you were a beginner. And that's why Emma's really gonna make things tangible for us, break things down. And ask me the right questions so I can cover things that can actually help young dentist students and those who just want some revision of the basics. We cover key themes like direct vs indirect, on lays vs full crowns. I know we did a full episode on that recently by the way, PDP189, you should totally check that one out. But we kind of talk about it more in the basics foundational student friendly version. Hope you enjoy this episode, and yes, there are Emma's famous student notes available to download in the student forum and Protrusive Vault section of Protrusive Guidance, our app. The website for that is protrusive. app or download it on iOS and Android.
