So because we're talking about tooth wear cases and the actual treatment of them, i. e. usually increasing the vertical dimension, aka opening the bite and how you fill in that space. Jaz’s Introduction:So if you are earlier in your dental and occlusion journey, or maybe you're not yet comfortable going beyond single tooth dentistry, then this episode may be difficult to grasp, but you should use these experiences as motivation and inspiration. It's a bit like when you go to a conference and some of the stuff that's being presented is so far beyond and above you at that moment in time in your journey where you are, but it's still really important to pay respect and listen because that can be the spark that you need in your career sometimes. But of course, if you're into occlusion and tooth wear. And you love restorative dentistry, then this could be a really geeky discussion that you're going to be able to apply on Monday morning if you've never used this technique before. Like, to give you a flavor of it, it's essentially using the wax up to create your own composite restoration. So you're using the wax up to create your own, like, direct composite onlays, for example, right? Direct composite onlays that you're making. So not indirect, it's direct because you're making them using the wax up and using the putty. And you'll see later, our guest, Zohaib Khwaja. He's going to explain why this has certain benefits and perhaps when he wouldn't use this technique and go indirect. And from speaking to him, I do think that it's a really nice trick to have up your sleeve, especially if you're interested in the adhesive management of tooth wear.
