The Use of a Facebook in Dentistry

See blue dot. Erase blue dot. That was my clinical application of Occlusion at Dental school! This episode was ‘Occlusion for Dental Students and New Grads’ - as featured on The Very Dental Student podcast. Oklahoma based Dental student Mohamed Abo-Basha asked Jaz questions to make Occlusion tangible - exploring topics like using a face bow, understanding the importance of centric relation in everyday dentistry (and why in our DAILY bread and butter Dentistry, it’s not very important for 99% of our patients), and strategies for improving our ability to adapt to our patients' occlusions. https://youtu.be/L5Dd6HZ22IM Watch AJ005 on Youtube Need to Read it?

We covered things like when and why should you use a face bow? What is the relevance of centric relation to our daily dentistry? And how can we become better conformers to our patient's occlusions? [Jaz]The episode itself will be featuring on the Very Dental Student podcast, so it's great to be on there, but I thought why not take this opportunity to share it with you guys, to Protruserati, and especially some of the younger dentists and the students coming through, who also have these same burning questions, so that we can all benefit. Now, as you'll see from this episode, we could have gone and on, and on, and on, answering all these questions, and we kind of ran out of time, so there may be a part two, but if you have any burning questions for an Ask Jaz episode, or occlusion in general, then do type it in the comments, and we'll make sure that if we film a part two, that we cover those questions. Now, before we join the main episode, I've had some really great news actually, on Instagram, Course Karma, our good friends at Course Karma, they've just messaged me saying, congratulations, your podcast has been voted a top podcast of 2023. So for anyone who voted, even though I didn't ask you, even though I never emailed you to ask you, I really, really appreciate the fact that you went on, you saw the podcast and you clicked on it, and you voted for Protrusive Dental Podcast as your favorite dental podcaster. Honestly, it means so much to me and it keeps me going. So thank you everyone for your support. Thank you for the subscribers who keep coming back and I'm only just getting started. I've got great, great plans for next year to be more inclusive for all dentists and dentistry students all around the world and to continue to make dentistry tangible. Oh, and one more thing, those who watch the podcast and not listen to it, you know that we have premium notes on the screen. Now, usually about halfway on YouTube, especially so it's a free platform. We cover those notes with ads because we reserve the premium notes for our paying members on protrusive. app. Now, because this episode is for students, primarily, we're going to give all our premium notes away for free. So the premium notes are there on the screen. And also you'll get the PDF summary, the premium notes and the transcription.
