And this one is huge. This one is so big picture. There's a lot of clinical themes in here. But this is very much bigger picture LIFE DESIGN stuff. Jaz's Introduction:What if you're in a scenario where you are really struggling in your workplace? Sometimes dentistry can be like super isolated, feel really lonely, it's just you and your nurse. And it can get a little bit depressing, especially in the winter months I find. So, community and mentorship and the right culture, oh my goodness, the culture at your workplace, the nurse at your workplace, the relationship with your nurse, or your DA is so, so key. So, these are all the themes that we cover with Dr. Sandy. So, Sandy is this dentist, who and you will hear his story in the podcast, but he was not in the happiest of places. And so, we discussed all about that, and how he had to make a major change and move hundreds of miles away to be able to gain fulfillment from his career. And that's why I wish for everyone I wish every Protruserati gains fulfilment from dentistry, because it's a truly wonderful profession. But guess what, this wonderful profession can be an absolute stinker, if in the wrong environment or even a toxic culture. So, in this episode, we'll discuss all about that, how to recognize it. And what can you do, you have to just stand up for yourself, you have to be your biggest advocate. And I hope this episode inspires you to take some sort of change. If you are identifying with all the things that Sandy saying today, I want you to stand up for yourself and make a change. It's never easy, because comfort zones are very comfortable, they're very nice to be in. But growth never happens in comfort zones. So, guys, I hope you enjoy this episode with Dr. Sandy. And I'll catch you in the outro. Main Episode: Dr. Sandy Rupra, welcome to the Protrusive Dental Podcast my friend. How are you? [Sandy]I'm very good. Thank you, Jaz. How are you? You, okay? Thanks for having me. [Jaz]Very good. Thanks. No, no, thanks for making time for this. So, we spoke a long while ago now, you're very inspiring. And the kinds of things that you're telling me in terms of helping dentists finding where they want to be in a more thriving environment, a better environment and while they're working, enjoy themselves. And it was from your own experiences of going through the LOWS, that we can speak about how to attain the HIGHS. So, before we delve into your story,

Have you ever prepared the last molar for a crown? And just when you check the occlusal reduction, the patient bites down and as if by magic, the reduction has all DISAPPEARED?! It is the phenomenon that we call ‘The Last Tooth in the Arch Syndrome’ This episode with Dr. Mahmoud Ibrahim will give you more confidence in recognizing, screening, and managing such complications in practice. But like I say in the main episode, optimistically, this phenomenon will never happen to you AGAIN if you follow these protocols for screening. https://youtu.be/gs1r5mlefHU Check out this full episode on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl:  Watch out for the patient with quite flat teeth as they are more susceptible to the last tooth in the arch syndrome / bite change. They do not have good posterior coupling/stability and therefore more likely to 'forget' their bite as the cuspal inclines do not guide the mandible back in to maximum intercuspation.

I mean, this patient that might be looking at ortho might be looking at a rehab, who's paying for that? Chances are you. So for two minutes screen that you can do. And once you get good at it, it's, it's really, really quick. Just to buy yourself that peace of mind and being able to inform the patient and gain proper consent when you're restoring the terminal tooth or maybe the one in front. That two minutes is worth it in my opinion. Jaz's Introduction:Have you ever prepared the second molar or the last molar of the patient's mouth for a crown? And when you've checked the occlusal reduction, you get the patient to bite together. And it's as if you NEVER DID ANY OCCLUSAL REDUCTION. You think what the hell is going on? I swear I just sunk a two millimeter bur into this tooth. And now it's like there's hardly any space there. What's going on? Has that ever happened to you? Has that problem bitten you? Have you had that dreaded phone call from the lab saying, 'We need a bit more space here, Doc.' If you experienced this, you probably searched it and spoke to prosthodontics and got some information about LAST TOOTH IN THE ARCH SYNDROME where that space magically disappears. What's behind that? Why is that happened? Why, if you're not careful, it could happen to you could happen to anyone I know some great dentists. And it's happened to them. So no one is immune to this. However, the topics that me and Mahmoud Ibraham, my guest today will make sure that you will a be able to screen when this issue might happen. Have a conversation with your patient ahead of time and sometimes consider a change of treatment plan because you know that as soon as you prep the second molar, you're likely to lose space and to have that knowledge and screening for assessment is just absolutely fundamental. And of course,

From the entire Protrusive Community - we wish Sanj a speedy recovery - keep smiling Sanj and stay strong! In the previous episode with Sanj Bhanderi on 'how to extirpate properly and efficiently', we briefly touched on postoperative pain control.

Now, unfortunately, after we recorded that episode, and after we recorded this one, Sanj felt acutely unwell. It was actually scary hearing the news of him being ill. But I'm getting some positive updates. And so we the Protrusive Dental Community, and then all dentists around the world. We wish Sanj a speedy recovery. We hope you get well soon. We're so glad you're okay and on the mend. And we want to pass on these wishes to you. It's been quite clear on social media, what a likable guy you are, and how much we all want you to make a speedy recovery mate. So wishing you all the best and get well soon from Team protrusive. Jaz's Introduction:I bet this scenario sounds very familiar to you imagine you're on a course you having a great time. I personally love courses, I think you all know that. You're on your fifth coffee, and everything's going great. And suddenly your pocket starts vibrating. You've got a call from the practice or text message informing receptionist saying that, 'Mrs. Smith, you know, the root canal that you saw yesterday, she's in absolute agony.' And you curse because you think wow, you know, that was a completely straightforward root canal procedure. The patient was asymptomatic before you even started. Why is this happening for me? Look, post-op pain after endodontics is an absolute bitch. It's one of those annoying things ever actually puts me off doing root canal treatment because of the one in harmony of a chance that post op pain instance is going to happen. And I'm going to discuss with Sanj Bhanderi who does such a brilliant job in that GF016, where we talk about how to extirpate properly and efficiently. So if you haven't listened to that one, oh my goodness, you are in for a treat. Go back and listen to that one. But in this episode, we're focusing more on post op pain like how do you manage that kind of scenario? What do you say to the patient? How can you prevent this from even happening in the first place? You know, it's funny I've actually had four root canals on my own self and before you think, 'Oh, Jaz is disgusting, you got caries, etc.' No, it's actually trauma from orthodontics. Can you believe it? Orthodontics devitalize, my lower four incisors, and I've had all sorts of issues and root canals and fractures, etc, etc. And now have a resin bonded zirconia bridge, hence why I'm so passionate about those bridges. Anyway, I experienced post op pain myself, it was a nasty thing. It was lots of inflammation. And so I've been there and I totally empathize with my patients. Before we joined the main episode I want to say yesterday I released new tickets to Finlay Sut...

Have you ever been planning a smile (this could be a complete denture or some veneers!) and thought 'where do I begin'? Planning aesthetic dentistry involves more than just the teeth.

I've got Dr. Josh Rowley today to share the four rules of planning Aesthetic Dentistry. Hello Protruserati, I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to your favorite dental podcast. It's been a crazy few weeks for Team protrusive. Just few weeks ago, we hosted Lincoln Harris live in London for his famous destress dental lecture. And let me tell you, this was a MASTERCLASS in theatrics, comedy, dental comedy, and public speaking. It was just a PHENOMENAL lecture. And I've actually got his slides on my desktop, and for eight hours that we spoke for seven hours, right. And he only had like 38 slides. This is a sign of a phenomenal speaker. He barely looked at slides, yes, so much conviction in his message. And the lessons he shared was so real, well, a lot of big, bigger picture communication type stuff to reduce our stress in dentistry and a few slides here and there and then delving deeper into it. It was just, such an engaging lecture. There's very few people I think, can hold and captivate an audience for six hours during the day and you learn so much at the same time. It's just absolutely brilliant. So, hats off to you Linc for that. And I met so many of you for the first time it was great to connect with the Protruserati. Safina came all the way from Northern Ireland. She's a dental student, it was great that you made that trip. She's part of our telegram group. So Safina, a personal thank you for, for coming out that way on a day where there were so many train strikes from around the UK. So, thank you so much. And a shout out I mean, I can't shout out all of you. There's like so many I met for the first time. It was to privilege but a shout out Sagar Patel. Sagar is someone who told me a story. When he met me, he said that the influence that protrusive had on him was so big. And the protrusive dental community Facebook group helped him to connect with his now principal. And he's in a good place and happy environment. And that just made me feel so warm and fuzzy and happy. And in fact, we've been connecting and exchanging messages on Facebook. And then we had this photo that we took together, and he said, 'May I owe my whole inspiration of dentistry back ...

Remove any caries, access cracks but when I have 20 minutes we need to get in go for the kill. Is that okay? Can you forgive us? /Sanj/ At the end of this. This is about patient, this is about getting the patient out of pain. Okay, and you just need to get in there. I used to call it ninja endo get in there, get the job done. Get out before patient realizing it. That's my principal in endo whether it's emergency or Endo. You want to- /Jaz/ Stealthy. /Sanj/ STEALTH. Stealth. Okay? Jaz's Introduction:What is your current protocol for EXTIRPATION? So let's say you made a diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis. Your patient is in raging pain. And you have to squeeze in this pain relieving treatment, a extirpation probably of a lower molar or something in five minutes. What are you going to do? Well, some of you will listen to this and it will be validation and revision. And you'll be thinking wow, I've been doing it right all this time, even though I thought maybe I was taking shortcuts but actually I've been doing it right all this time and others will be like whoa, this is so much easier compared to what I'm doing at the moment because the big hint I can give you is that you don't even need a K file for your molar extirpation anymore after today, because I've got Dr. Sanj Bhanderi, specialist endodontist to talk us through what is the right way, the proper way to do an extirpation of your patient who is in pain. And there are just so many gems from pain relief, diagnosis, isolation, and what I love about Sanj in this episode, is that he's not dogmatic. Yes, he's a specialist endodontist and so easy for him or anyone say you must always use rubberdam. But yes, he does discuss a scenario that okay, if for whatever reason, you had to do it without rubberdam, how can you optimize the isolation? How can you reduce the saliva getting inside the tooth, so I really appreciated that about this episode. I'm sure it hope you will as well. It's very much in tune with the real world. And lastly, we do cover his step by step what is the right and proper way to do an extirpation without wasting time and without actually making things worse for future treatment. Main Episode:So hope you enjoy this episode. And I'll catch you in the outro. Dr. Sanj Bhanderi. Welcome to the Protrusive Dental Podcast. How are you my friend? [Sanj]Very well. Thank you,

Orthodontics for the mixed dentition is not well taught at Dental School - for which malocclusions should you intervene and by what age?

Your child may not ever need braces. So that's incredible, right? So what we're aiming for? obviously, the part of the reason why kids have crowding it's actually a first world problem. Believe it or not, it's partially genetic, but it's also for the most part environmental. Jaz's Introduction:Welcome back Protruserati, I'm Jaz Gulati to your favorite dental podcast and today we're covering INTERCEPTIVE ORTHODONTICS. Why this topic? Well, actually, I've been a super busy boy. And I've got so many episodes recorded, a whole range of awesome topics. And so nowadays, I'm pitching it to you guys, which one do you want next? And on the Facebook group, gosh, it was extremely tight. But you guys just about voted for interceptive orthodontics. And this episode, what it serves to do is to help you the discerning GDP to gain some clarity on what you're looking for in our young patients. When you're thinking, would this patient benefit from EARLY ORTHODONTICS or for INTERCEPTIVE ORTHODONTICS ie to intervene in their mixed dentition so that they can benefit and have straighter teeth or a better occlusion for their later years and teenage years. Now, it's important to mention that this episode, it's not been made with any countries or systems in mind, per se, ie what I mean is, for example, if you're a dentist in the UK listening to this, you might be thinking, 'Okay, this is great knowledge. But how can I implement that in the system where I work in the country that I'm in with the political system and the public funding that I'm in, etc?' Well, that is irrelevant, because what I want to pass on to you from this episode is really good knowledge and fundamental orthodontic diagnoses. And then you can have a conversation with an orthodontist, or know when you should refer for a second opinion. That's what this is about. So if you're in the US, and you're worried about insurance, and whatnot, it's all about finding out all these issues. And really, I love the way that our guest Dr. Amanda Wilson breaks it down. If you really think about it, the main things we're looking for are any errors in development or any problems malocclusions that affect the anterior posterior, the vertical and the transverse.

Is flapless implant placement really a solid technique? What percentage of cases are amenable to flapless implant placement? The cynic in me wondered if this is indeed a novel technique, or was it made mainstream to attract Dentists who seldom raise flaps?

If you enjoyed this episode, you will also like 'Can I Probe This Implant?' Click below for full episode transcript: Opening Snippet: You pay to learn in one fashion or another. This is something I've said before, right? Is you either pay your mentor to show you how to do it. And when you do it that way, you'll avoid most of the pitfalls, okay? Or you don't pay your mentor you have things go wrong and then you've got to pay out of your own pocket. Of those two scenarios one leads to a happy patient and another one leads to an unhappy patient. Jaz's Introduction:Are flapless implants a thing or are they a fad? I feel like there is a lure of some courses that want to attract the inexperienced GDP who perhaps is afraid of surgery or averse to surgery who can't raise a flap and they thought you know what, if we start teaching a guided system that doesn't involve flaps and maybe the dentist will come and learn implants and place our implants so that is the cynic in me thinking that but I got on the main man who knows everything about implants Dr. Pav Khaira on today on this group function about IS THERE A PLACE FOR FLAPLESS IMPLANTS? And of course from that we go into different directions in terms of okay, when is it suitable? When is it contraindicated? What are the problems? And how we can learn more and get into this field of implantology. If you are a novice if you are someone who's thinking about it, but you're afraid to make that next commitment. How does one get into the field of implants are huge daily topic for young dentists. Main Episode:So let's join this group function with Dr. Pav Khaira. Dr. Pav Khaira back again for the third time from the dental implant podcast. How are you, my friend? [Pav]I'm very good, how you doing? [Jaz]Amazing. And last few times you came on you really busted some myths and you helped us to understand some basic things. Can we probe implants? What happens when an implant is bleeding? The soft tissues are bleeding. How can you tell if you're too worried or not? So you cover these really fundamental topics. And you guys if you haven't listened to ready, listen to those. And of course we had you on for finding your niche in dentistry. So you've done some pretty big topics. And when this topic came along about flapless implants, which what we're talking about today, and I can't wait to dig into that. But just for those people who haven't listened to that those episodes yet, and I will urge them to check out those episodes right now, those watching on YouTube, the thumbnails be flying up, you need to listen to those previous episodes to really appreciate all the wonderful things we've covered so far. But just tell them about your week to week, day to day dentistry that you're passionate about. [Pav]Jaz, firstly, thank you for having me back again. Secondly, all I do is place implants. That's it, I don't do anything else. So what's the best way to frame it as an average implantologist and ...

I wasn't sure I was worrying about things like taking a bitewing. Can you believe that? The initial worry was how will I take my first bitewing? And actually remember it happening. Jaz's Introduction:I'm like, 'These are different holders to the ones I had at dental school. And this is a different unit and do I need to try to memorize the timings and the exposure and radiation?' And just making really simple things really complicated because let's face it, you haven't done this a long time when your first day of the real world of dentistry comes. The other thing I remember about my first few years was CONSTANTLY DOUBTING MYSELF and not being able to make decisions because you can't really make decisions or you struggle making decisions when you have a lack of experience. You're constantly doubting your judgment. So, this is why it's a very UNIQUE CHALLENGE. Being a dentist, fully fledged dentists out in the real world after dental school. So, this episode is dedicated to those in their first few years of career, after qualifying, and all the unique challenges that you face as a newbie dentist.

Mahmoud, once joke with me, they come for the OBAB but stay for the kebab, so we don't know where which direction is gonna go in terms of food in the future. But this is predominantly an online course actually. So, it's called Occlusion Basics And Beyond. And we think we'll be ready in a few months now, we're really trying super hard. But in our busy lives, it is a tough thing to do to actually plan and create the content recorded, get it edited. We've got beta testers lined up already. So, we're really excited to get it out them to make sure that we get the correct feedback to enhance it as much as we can. Because ultimately, our goal is to help you design and execute restorations from single tooth to anterior aesthetic cases. And then later actually, in module five, we also cover full mouth concepts that will help you feel confident to deliver all this type of dentistry to patients and not worrying that things will break or chip, because we will teach you to apply keyword APPLY in capital letters. Because the principals, I'm going to show you in the videos and cases, if you can apply them in practice, that's where you're going to get success. So, if you sign up to our monthly occlusion tip, you can get flavour of the kind of content we have planned and we're putting together to make it extremely tangible. So, head on over to occlusion.wtf so www.occlusion.wtf, sign up if you haven't already. And if you're a newcomer to this, if you sign up today, for example, if you haven't signed up already, then what I'll do is that when I send an email, I'll make sure the previous videos I've sent will also be sent to you. So, for example, the first one was how to adjust the occlusion on resin-bonded bridge. And the second one coming in a few days is how to ma...

I remember one lecturer in oral surgery, she was up in the podium, and she said, this is BS because all extractions should be atraumatic, but in the real world, from my experience, I know that my implant colleagues would do something called an atraumatic extraction. Jaz’s Introduction:Be very proud of it. And from what I understood, it takes a bit more time, like you need to be a bit be more gentle, need to preserve that precious bone. But from speaking to our guest, Diyari Abdah today, using specialized tools such as the Piezo, like this was all pretty new to me in terms of its applications for atraumatic extractions. But using that, your atraumatic extractions don't have to be very slow. They can actually be very efficient. So that was a real takeaway for me. Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati, and welcome back to another episode of your favorite Dental Podcast. Today I've got Dr. Diyari Abdah, who's such a fascinating man, like to me he was this like educator and implant dentist in Cambridge. From our conversations, I figured out that he's been nominated for an Emmy before. He's got an MBA. He's a bestselling author. He is got books on business, completely not related to dentistry. He's a really smart cookie and I'm sure you'll finding very fascinating, but in terms of what we're covering today, it's all about atraumatic extractions. What do you need to use? Can you just use luxators and do everything you need to do with that to call in atraumatic extraction? What is different about a traumatic extraction compared to a regular extraction, and what are the benefits of doing it in this way? Protrusive Dental Pearl:Before we get to that though, the Protrusive Dental Pearl. So, today's pearl is philosophical in a way. It's gonna give you just generic life advice, and it's something I just came across in a book. And I just wanna share with you guys, never take advice from anyone who you wouldn't aspire to be like. So, there might be an amazing dentist, let's call it a male, for example, male dentist, who's really cool. But I wouldn't take advice from this dentist, even if they're an awesome dentist.
