Join us as we discuss hot topics in dentistry clinical tips, continuing education and adding value to your life and career with your host, Jaz Gulati... Jaz's Introduction: Jaz, Why do you have this American dude doing introduction? That's often a question I get. And the answer to why I have this American do doing is brilliant. Doesn't sound really professional really good. I really like it myself. I'm blowing my own trumpet if you like for choosing this guy. Where did I find this American guy to do my podcast intro. So there's amazing website called fiverr.com. That's F-I-V-E- double R. There's two Rs at the end. And the concept of this website when it initially began is for five US dollars or about at five pounds. You can get lots of different services. I've had logos made. I've had my introduction made for this podcast, you name it. There's lots of artistic stuff out there. So check out fiverr.com and it's not even been a minute wouldn't this podcast and I've given your Protrusive Dental pearl number one there already. So it's been a busy few weeks. For me I was in Dubai earlier this month on a course. The course was by a chap called Lukas Lassmann, Polish dentist, who basically teaches about full mouth rehabilitation concepts. He basically preaches the John Kois, the Kois school of thought, and I thought it'd be good to go to Dubai to get some sunshine, my wife as well, while attending this course. And that was really cool. I'm also doing the Dawson Academy from next month modules to be in May, so I'll be sure to share my experiences with that. But last week, I was at Mahul Patel's PrepEvo course. And that was amazing. We do a prep, let's say for a full gold crown upper right six, and then it gets scanned in by you know, one of those prime scan, dentsply, [sironen] scanners, and instantly, it tells you how close your preparation is to the gold standard proper preparation, which they call the [Gold Particle]. And it was amazing to see instantly how good or otherwise your prep was. And then he teaches his protocol Mahul Patel. He teaches his protocol how to get better preps if you'd like and then we prep it again. And then we get scanned again. And instantly we see if we've gotten better or some people actually get worse because you know, it's a new technique you're learning, the average sort of score that a dentist gets out of 600 sort of preps that have been done possibly more is 18% Mahul told me. So 18% of the preparation is to within 0.1 millimeters of the Gold Particle. So I was quite shocke 24% first time around 40% in second time round, and I really benefited. I think my preps come Monday morning will always be better now from going in that course. So if we're looking for a prep course, with someone who's a great educator, I really recommend Mahul Patel's PrepEvo course, do check that out. Today, of course, we have Neel Jaiswal, we're talking about magnification, we're talking about microscopes, loupes, all sorts, what I'll do is I'll just tell you which part of the podcast today sort of covers which topics.
