Lingual Infiltrations and Adrenaline for Cardiac Risk Patients (Part 2) – PDP144

As you may recall from the first part of this series, Dr. Wayne William is an amazing dentist in our community who has been kind enough to share his insights into local anaesthetics with us. Today we'll be talking about the second half of this topic: The most commonly used anesthetic agents used by GDPs (and why we should ditch one)Is it safe to inject lingually?

How good was part one? Thanks to Dr. Wayne Williams. [Jaz]What I love about bread and butter episodes like these is the engagement it gets from the community. So you guys, Protruserati on the Instagram app @protrusivedental, had some really interesting things today. Like for example, Cony, Cony Caravotas we met in Brighton and also at the Finlay Sutton course. Hope you're doing well. She said that she hasn't done an ID block since 2009, so that was 14 years ago. That is bloody impressive, right? I told you I do about one a month. Coney hasn't done once in 2009. She said, buccal articaine infiltrations all the way. And there were loads of comments just like that about how we're all getting really good results with buccal articaine. But of course, Dr. Wayne Williams suggested that it's only really appropriate for single tooth procedures. But I know many of you, including myself on many occasions, use it for quadrant dentistry in the lower molar. Now, I wouldn't use it, like I said in the previous episode of people with large bones, large heads, big bony exostosis. But for the average person, I think it does work well in my hands, and that's what it's all about. Don't change your technique if something is working well, unless there's more efficiency, more safety involved, or lower cost involved. But if you're not compromising a lot on those areas and something is working well in your hands, I wouldn't change anything about your protocol as long as you're safe, efficient, and cost effective. So more power to anyone who's getting great success with buccal articaine. I personally will say that by putting it in the attached gingiva. Now, something that, @ohheyitsdoctoralbert also said on Instagram is the importance of attached gingiva. I find that the attached gingiva retains it, and probably by going in the attached gingiva I'm entering that coal area that Dr. Wayne Williams talked about in the first episode, and therefore, these em mystery canals, these holes in the mandible to allow our anesthetic to get in the right place.

Articaine ID Blocks and the ‘CIA Technique’ for Local Anaesthetic – PDP143

There is a massive trend of Dentists ditching ID blocks in favour of articaine buccal infiltrations. For many that are still using ID blocks routinely, they are afraid of using Articaine due to fear of paraesthesia. Should we be doing less ID blocks? And when we do, is it ACTUALLY harmful to use articaine or is that a myth? I have to admit, the main reason I heavily switched to buccal articaine was to avoid ID blocks. Dr. Wayne William, our straight-talking, no-BS Prosthodontist guest will bust some myths and improve your daily delivery of safe and effective local anaesthesia. In this episode he taught us the Crestal Intraosseous Approach (CIA), a technique developed by Dr. Wayne to improve our buccal infiltrations. https://youtu.be/LbOxlXIZCkw Check out this full episode on YouTube Download Protrusive App on iOS and Android and Claim your Verifiable CPD/CE by answering a few questions + You can get EARLY ACCESS to the episode + EXCLUSIVE content The Protrusive Dental Pearl:  Check out the couple of videos I posted recently on YouTube and on the app https://youtu.be/yFfKVLmSr5Q Robin Hood Dentistry - a careful and well-considered enameloplasty https://youtu.be/3QLby2U_W3E No More High Restorations 2023 Update - Stop Grinding Away Your Composites!

Jaz's Introduction: I'm actually, I wouldn't say afraid. I'm not afraid of doing ID blocks. I'm just do them way less because I'm afraid of some of the POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS that you see in papers and in opinion articles about the potential risk of paraesthesia and other complications from ID blocks, and therefore I've been a bit put off. So what I did many years ago is I started to do more and more articaine infiltrations, buccally, and to be fair like I told Wayne, Dr. Wayne Williams, the prosthodontist who's a fantastic straight talking guests. I love straight talking guests. Right? You're going to love him too. And I shared with him that, look, I only do about one ID block a month. A) Because I'm getting so much success with my buccal articaine. But B) Because I'm being overly cautious, I'm really trying to prevent it. Because I think this scare mongering has worked on me. I am a little bit worried about the risk and the more ID blocks you do, the more you increase your risk or so I thought, because there's so much we talk about in this episode in terms of the power of a buccal, articaine, but also, knowing when to respect and knowing when that might not be serving your patient the best, and why he should be perhaps doing some more ID blocks. And in fact, Wayne even says that he's a huge advocate of articaine for ID block. So we're going to cover a lot of controversial topics and as you heard already, Wayne is no stranger to controversy and I love that so much. One thing I really respect about Wayne is that he helped to develop the CIA, the Crestal Intraosseous Approach. I had to really,

How to Spot Frictional and Constricted Chewing Patterns (CCP)  Click below for full episode transcript: Introduction: Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati and thanks so much for coming onto the app for part two or what was quite a brilliant part one with Dr. Sandra Hulac. Her energy is just absolutely amazing. Jaz's Introduction:Now, just a recap, we left you on a bit of a cliffhanger last time. We talked about, I asked Sandra about orthodontics. You know, how often does orthodontics come into it? Is it every single time? And the answer she gives is really pragmatic. So you'll hear that or see that in just a few minutes. But I just want to do a bit of a recap, what we talked about last time, right? So, a constricted chewing pattern is someone who really wants to bite here, but the teeth meet together here, so the condyle gets sort of pushed back, if you like. Right. So for this patient, the centric relation is actually further forward. So who's at risk? People who've got upright or retroclined upper incisors, right? And their jaw wants to be further forward, right? Maybe cuz of growth, the jaw wants to be further forward, which is why Sandra said that people who've had orthodontics and upper pre-molars extracted. The maxilla gets smaller if you like, and mandible start continues to grow and those patients may be at risk. So if you see those kind of traits, then maybe we shouldn't be using like a leaf gauge for centric relation on those patients. We should be using like a deprogramming appliance Lucia Jig or a Kois deprogrammer. If you fancy that one because that's what Dr. Sandra does. And what you find with these patients with a CCP is yes, their jaw gets shifted back, but you might get more wear on their edges. And that's not from bruxism. That's because the outside in movement. Right? Their jaw wants to be further forward. Now, this is similar. The cousin of this is the frictional chewing pattern who their condyle isn't getting forced back, right? Their MIP is okay. It's just that as they're chewing the outside in is causing this. So, let's say that's normal, the incisal edges are not worn here. Can you see? They're a bit jaggedy over here, right? It's just, to over here and over here. We see this all the time and let me show you some photos actually on th...

Stop Blaming Bruxism! How to Spot Frictional and Constricted Chewing Patterns (CCP) – PDP141

Do you blame bruxism for every time you observe attrition? As you know, I'm no stranger to occlusal appliances, but often they may be inappropriate for the patient who is causing their wear during FUNCTION and not so much during parafunction. Maybe it’s time for us to start looking at different aetiologies of attrition and this is what the wonderful Dr. Sandra Hulac breaks down for us in this banger of an episode. We also discussed the differences between frictional and constricted chewing patterns, which are often confused with each other. We share some case examples and discuss how to correctly diagnose these types of chewing patterns. https://youtu.be/ao0sqY6lXZ4 Check out this full episode on YouTube Download Protrusive App on iOS and Android and Claim your Verifiable CPD/CE by answering a few questions + You can get EARLY ACCESS to the episode + EXCLUSIVE content The Protrusive Dental Pearl: Acknowledge, understand, and believe the fact that often our patient’s centric relation (CR) is NOT more distal/posterior to their maximum intercuspation (MIP) - it can actually be anterior to their MIP!

Now we know that sounds like a big task and a huge ask, but we did it. I think we did it. OBAB:We did it. We finally made OBAB, Occlusion Basics and Beyond. And we've really, really worked our butts off to give you an occlusion course that is gonna be applicable to real world dentistry. So, what's included in this pre-launch deal? We've got five different things for you. First of all is the OBAB starter kit. We're gonna send you a starter kit so you can start implementing the concepts we're gonna teach you straight away on Monday. It's got a Huffman leaf gauge we imported from the US and this is our favorite leaf gauge. It's also got a pack of shim stock in it, so you don't have to use your fat fingers every time. We're gonna send you a pair of Miller forceps as well. The start kit is worth a hundred pounds and we'll start shipping it once the course access begins on 7th of April. I think really anyone interested in occlusion, whether you are at the beginning of your career in the middle, or even getting towards the end would learn a huge amount from this particular program. The second benefit of this pre-launch deal is we're gonna give you 500 pounds off of the cost of the course, and you can take our word for it, that we are never gonna price it this low ever again. And this course truly has an unbelievable return on investment. The third benefit of the pre-launch deal is that instead of getting 12 months of access, we're gonna extend that. So you get two whole years of oab and that's a no extra charge, and we're gonna be adding lots of new cases and content as we go. I felt like I finally understood topics that I just struggled to wrap my head around for years. And that's purely down to the way in which the content's delivered. The fourth benefit of this pre-launch deal is you'll get one fully mentored case with us incl...

The Secrets to Finding a Passion in Dentistry – IC036

Dr. Karl Walker-Finch shares his journey of pain to passion as he reveals the secrets to finding YOUR passion in Dentistry. We started by discussing our crippling imposter syndrome as we left public Dentistry to practice privately. Along that theme we highlight the importance of taking control of your own destiny. Karl's new book, 'In The Loupe' raises money for Confidental (emotional first aid for Dentists) and is a powerful book for Dentists that wish to practise without fear and establish the right work-life balance. https://youtu.be/YPv71yr62tE Check out this full episode on YouTube Download Protrusive App on iOS and Android and Claim your Verifiable CPD/CE by answering a few questions + You can get EARLY ACCESS to the episode + EXCLUSIVE content “We do not need thousands of specialists in full mouth rehabilitation” - Dr. Karl Walker-Finch Need to Read it?

Hence why the name of this episode. Now, some of the other titles that are also considered were GDPs, just Want to Have Fun. Jaz's Introduction:And the other one that describes this episode really well, which I almost considered was Fall in Love with Dentistry all over again. Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati and I'm the host of Protrusive Dental Podcast. This is a non-clinical interruption. We call this an Interference Cast. If it's your first time listening, thanks for joining me. I appreciate it. It's a whole three or four years worth of content that you need to explore, but if you are a regular listener, thanks for joining us again. This episode is a bigger picture episode. This episode is kind of like a feel good and an emotional exploration of your why and your purpose in your life and in your career. Some of the themes that we cover are things like imposter syndrome, my goodness. So I do get imposter syndrome less now than I used to, but when I get it, I get it in a big way. So we'll talk about how Karl experience is and how we both overcome that. We also talk about our journeys in moving to private density and how we actually felt bad about leaving the public health dentistry and what that kind of looked like. Our little roadmap. The other thing we discuss is how we both want to, we're both on a mission, Karl and I to infect you guys, you listening right now with enough positivity that you can head into work with excitement. In fact, the thing I love about protrusive and what it's become and you guys is the messages I get are kind of like in this vein here. I'm just going to read a message out to you from, oh, hey, it's Dr. Albert, Albert, thanks so much, for freeing a listener. You sent a really lovely message. He said lots of nice things and I'll cut to chase. He said, I've been practicing for seven years and have been stuck in a lot of routine, mundane mindsets that have been holding me back. And watching PDP episodes on YouTube has gotten me so excited about all sorts of new things. Thank you again, and please keep up the great work. So, these messages,

A Little Trick to Solve Anterior Open Bites after Occlusal Appliances – AJ003

I will reveal a little 'trick' that might 'recapture the bite' on a patient who develops an anterior open bite (AOB) after wearing a nightguard/splint/occlusal appliance. There is a degree of risk and uncertainty when we prescribe occusal appliances as it hinges on patient compliance and factors that are out of our control. There are certain risks that come with treatment that we should consent for, and this includes bite changes. Occlusal appliances are not an exact science - the evidence base is not high quality. That does not mean they do not work, it just means that we need more data! We don't even know the mechanism of HOW occlusal splints work as that is yet to be proven. Hello Protruserati! Welcome back to the third episode of #AskJaz where I answered three main questions from our Protrusive Dental Community - 1) developing anterior open bite after an occlusal appliance, 2) how to scan/bite register at a desired OVD, and 3) what should the occlusion look like on composite veneers or edge bonding? https://youtu.be/Li2W-ysYRIE Check out this full episode on YouTube Download Protrusive App on iOS and Android and Claim your Verifiable CPD/CE by answering a few questions + You can get EARLY ACCESS to the episode + EXCLUSIVE content Dr. Mahmoud Ibrahim and I are currently working on a huge project called OBAB, Occlusion Basics, and Beyond – it will be the best occlusion resource in the Milky Way…and that’s our mission!

Click below for full episode transcript: Jaz's Introduction: Occlusal appliances can be scary things. When we are given to our patients, we're at the mercy of their compliance. We don't really know if they're going to get along with it or not. [Jaz]We don't really know if it'll help their pain. If pain is the reason that we are prescribing in occlusal appliance, and a lot of times we are taking on a bit of risk because there are certain bite changes that can happen after occlusal appliances. And despite what you think, you know, you might think, oh yes, anterior only appliances, they're the big culprits here. They're the ones, those shifty devices, they're the ones causing all the bite changes. But actually, you can get a bite changer. A patient can get a bite change from any type of occlusal appliance. So, I see this quite frequently on the Facebook groups from dentists and also lots of dentists message me and share some of the cases where they've had some bite change. They're trying to get their head around what exactly happened. So, in this Ask Jaz episode, I'm going to cover three main themes. The main, the big one. The first one is, a patient who develops an anterior open bite after an occlusal appliance, and I'm going to teach you a trick that you can use if this happened to your patient to recover their bite. Okay? So that's number one. Number two and three, a shorter one. The second one is how to scan or record using silicon bite registration paste, the patient's centric relation record at the desired vertical dimension for something like a Michigan splint, for example, and the third one. What should the occlusion look like on composite veneers? These are three questions, or the last two are questions that were sent in by you guys. The first one's something I promised Professor Paul Tipton, that I would do,

But it's actually taken off hugely for the management of white spot lesions anteriorly. I've been using icon resin infiltration for a few years now, and I've had some pretty good results. Jaz's Introduction:And so this stuff, this resin that infiltrates into these white patches, like our guest Linda Greenwell, the way she beautifully describes it with her soothing voice is that the white patch is like an air bubble, and she explains that analogy wonderfully throughout this episode. And it seems to be a really great, minimally invasive way to manage white patches, either after orthotics or MIH or of any origin. Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to another episode of the Protrusive Dental Podcast. That's right. We got Linda Greenwell back again after that amazing episode about the rules around whitening for under 18. If you haven't seen that, do check it out because it does tie in well with this episode because one of the things that Linda will teach us is the importance of tooth whitening before doing resin infiltration. In fact, Linda leaves no stone unturned. Every single micro step and the nuances and considerations, and even the troubleshooting. What if things don't go to plan? It's covered so comprehensively, so beautifully that I think DMG, the company that makes the stuff will probably host this podcast episode on their own website. We also answer burning real world questions such as, do you have to use rubber dam for this technique? And can you use any composite, like sometimes you actually have to have composite at the end of it.

Best Practices in Social Media for Dentists – How to Stay Out of Trouble Yet Be Impactful – IC035

'Doing' Social Media is HARD work!' Do you find it difficult to make time for this? Do you worry about professionalism and ethics on social media? How about the blurred boundaries between professional and personal life? Dentistry is no exception to the trend of using social media in today's culture. Dentists are using social media to connect with their patients and create new opportunities for patient education. However, dentists face ethical challenges such as how to best communicate with patients online, and what is the best level of consent to get from patients when we post their photos and videos? In this episode, Dr. Alessandro Devigus also suggests how to use social media as a business tool and how to keep your personal life and professional life separate. https://youtu.be/TEBmlDlybLE Check out this full episode here Download Protrusive App on iOS and Android and Claim your Verifiable CPD/CE by answering a few questions + You can get EARLY ACCESS to the episode + EXCLUSIVE content “React and interact with your audience how they WANT you to see” - Dr. Alessandro Devigus Need to Read it?

If you're listening to this, I'm sure you're involved in social media in some way or another. Jaz's Introduction:It's NO EXCEPTION for dentistry, but this creates new problems and dilemmas, new ethical dilemmas for us dentists. How do we best communicate with patients online, and what is the best level of consent to get to patients when we are posting their photos and videos? And where exactly do you DRAW THE LINE between PERSONAL and PROFESSIONAL? These are the burning questions we cover with Dr. Alessandro Devigus, who not only has a huge following on social media, but he's such a level-headed guy as an extremely experienced, successful clinician. One of the topics we discussed, which you may resonate with Protruserati is HOW to MAKE TIME for SOCIAL MEDIA. Many of you are struggling to find the opportunity throughout your busy lives to actually have a presence online. And so when I ask this to Alessandro, he had a really good answer, and it involves doing a bit of work, a bit of an audit of your time. So that's something we cover towards the middle and end of the episode. Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati. Welcome back to an Interference Cast. This is like a nonclinical interruption. If you're new to the show, then thanks for joining. Do check out all the other episodes. Mostly a lot of 'em are clinical and they're very geeky, and I get very excited about teeth and dentistry, and hopefully that gets passed onto you. But we talk about some varied themes. So hope you enjoy this episode with Dr. Alessandro Devigus and I'll catch you in the outro. Main Episode:Alessandro. So I know this podcast we're recording today is about social media, but we must know what is your secret to looking so youthful? [Alessandro]It's my wife. I'm married for 33 years, so happy wife, happy life. [Jaz]Happy wife, happy life, and somehow good skin. [Alessandro]Yeah and it's my Sardinian roots. So, Sardinia is known for people getting very old. So my father is now almost 90. There are a lot of people there. And I think the number one secret of getting old...
