Best of 2025: A Year of Shared Learning

Happy New Year, Protruserati ✨

As 2025 comes to a close, we wanted to pause and reflect by revisiting the moments that genuinely shaped how we practise, think, and show up in the clinic.

This Best of 2025 episode starts with restorative and aesthetics, moves through digital workflows, endo, paediatrics, surgery, communication, and finishes with what sustains us over a long career. These are the clips that made me pause, rethink, and quietly adjust how I work – and I hope they do the same for you.

Some of the ideas you’ll hear in this episode include:

• Predictable ways to manage wear and space without over-treating
• Small restorative and material choices that have a big impact long-term
• Practical digital workflows that genuinely improve accuracy and efficiency
• Endo fundamentals that reduce stress and increase consistency
• Clear clinical judgement for paediatrics, surgery, and medical emergencies
• Communication habits that build trust without using jargon
• Simple, sustainable ways to protect your body, health, and curiosity

Also, AskJaz is here!📢

AskJaz (JazAI) is built to solve a simple problem: knowing what to do next without digging through endless content. Need quick guidance on a tricky case? Not sure which cement to use? Need help with a lab prescription? AskJaz has you covered.😉

It provides 24/7 support, allowing you to ask questions at any time and receive clear, direct responses. You can even talk to Jaz in your own language, making the guidance easier to understand and apply—especially in fast-paced clinical situations.

AskJaz is available by upgrading to the Ultimate Clinical Education Plan, where it’s currently included. This gives you full access to AskJaz alongside premium masterclasses, CPD features, and advanced clinical resources inside the app.

If you join or upgrade on or before January 11, AskJaz is included with your Ultimate membership for as long as your account remains in good standing.

So if you’ve been thinking about upgrading or joining the app, this is a very good moment.

A Heartfelt Thank You

To every guest who sat down with me this year and shared their knowledge, their stories, their hard-won wisdom — thank you. You made us all better clinicians.

And to you — for listening, for questioning, for caring enough to keep learning even when you’re exhausted, even when the day’s been long, even when it feels like there’s always more to know.

You’re the reason this podcast exists. You’re the reason I keep doing this.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for being part of this community. Thank you for showing up, year after year.

Here’s to 2026. Here’s to more conversations. Here’s to all of us getting just a little bit better.

Until next year, keep learning, keep caring, and keep doing the dentistry that makes you proud.
