Protrusive Dental Podcast

I recorded this a few weeks ago and recently finished editing it (always enjoy chatting with Barry G) – I was pretty much ‘shy’ and dare I say ’embarassed’ to post this/make it public because in the grand scheme of things, our world is being rocked by Covid-19 at the moment and we have so much to worry about… But then two people independently sent me a photo on Instagram of them at home watching my YouTube/IGTV interviews I posted recently telling me they are learning so much from the guests on Protrusive. If this video or any of my content can get you to chill on your sofa and learn while you #stayathome – then that would be awesome. Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! Sending my best wishes to all – stay home as much as reasonably possible 🙏🏼I hope all this will reunite our profession. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Bla9N9PS8 In this episode: – Jaz shares a Parable of the 12 Blind Men relevant to TMD and makes a mess of it!– We discuss if the role of teeth/occlusion/malocclusion/Restorative really has a role to play in TMD/pain?– What is macro trauma and micro trauma, and how is it relevant to TMJ pathology?– What is Barry’s message?

Join us as we discuss hot topics and dentistry clinical tips, continuing education and adding value to your life and career with your host, Jaz Gulati... Jaz's Introduction: Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 22 with Dr. Barry Glassman. He likes me to call him Barry, as you'll see. So this is a my first ever full intro and outro video podcast. And I'm glad to see Barry, he also featured in episode eight, which if you haven't listened to it, it's a great episode, I urge you to check it out. Episode eight was all about anterior midpoint stop appliances, and do they cause a OBS. So if you haven't heard that already, it's really great. You can hear Barry's passion in that in what he believes. And I guess I want to give you some context, in terms of what you're about to watch or listen to if you listen on the podcast between the conversation between myself and Barry. Basically, what Barry teaches and what he's all about, and I heavily recommend going on one of his courses because it's a different way to see occlusion and basically the crux of it is, is that it's not the occlusion, or the malocclusion that causes a lot of problems. Let's call this let you know whether it's chipping or things breaking TMD, which is a very loose term. It's not because of the occlusion per se, it's because of occluding. And what Barry always says on his courses, nouns don't hurt people, verbs do. So the occlusion is not as important as the occluding. So if you've got someone who's like a 17 and a half minute a day chewer, then they're not likely to cause that much problems when in terms of destroying their teeth, or TMD. Because essentially, what we're talking about is the relationship between parafunction and causing repetitive micro trauma in the temporomandibular joint is quite, we will discuss a fair bit of anatomy at the end. So it's actually a good revision for that. And I'd actually encourage people to if you're listening on the audio podcast version,

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... Main Interview: [Jaz] Marina, thank you so much for coming on the Protrusive Dental Podcast. It's great to have you on. How are you? [Manrina]Yeah, really good. Thanks, Jaz. [Jaz]You're always smiling. You're always always always smiling and you got your most beautiful whitest teeth ever. [Manrina]I'm like promoting my own work. [Jaz]You have to, right? Because that's exactly what you're doing. You're doing veneers. You're doing cosmetic dentistry, and you know, you talk the talk, you walk the walk, right? [Manrina]Right. That's exactly. It makes my job easy. Cuz my patients will come in and they'll be like, Can you give me a smile like yours? I'm like, you know what I can. And that's half the job done. [Jaz]Perfect. So tell to my listeners a little bit about yourself, about your journey and how you got into cosmetic dentistry and veneers in particular. [Manrina]So I have a really interesting career pathway. A really unusual one, I think. When I graduated from university, and at the time, it was VT. So I graduated in 2002. From Guys hospital, which is now Kings. And there was a job opening that came up for Harvey Nichols, first dentist. And they were asking, yeah, so they were asking for someone that was two years graduated, and someone that was five years graduated, like as a minimum requirement.

Thanks for watching! Click below for full episode transcript: Opening Snippet: Welcome to the Protrusive Dental podcast the forward thinking podcast for dental professionals 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... Main Podcast: Guys, it's Jaz Gulati from the Protrusive Dental podcast and today's interference cast is just three tips I have to share with you. Based on my reflections of doing a composite veneer case recently, patient's main complaint was actually different to begin with. And actually this is part of the sort of the three little tips I want to share with you guys. So let me discuss three learning points from this case number one will be communication tip. Number two will be how I managed the interproximal part of doing composite veneer. And number three will be the composite refinement tip, I've got a bur that I want to recommend to you to use for composite refinement, which I found really useful. So before we come on to that, if you're listening to me on the Protrusive Dental podcast, then yes, you're still gain from this because I'm sharing some stuff that is tangible, even though you're listening and not watching. But it's probably worthwhile going logging on and actually watching the seeing the images, so you get to see what I'm talking about. But anyway, let's proceed. So tip number one I have for you is regarding communication. This patient initially came to me and she had busted her upper right five, she went on to get a vertical crown on upper right five in Zirconia, which I've done and as you can see, that's done. But actually her main complaint after was that actually, I don't like the way my crown looks at the back and she was pointing to her metal ceramic crown on the upper right six, as you can see that she didn't like the fact that the color was a bit off to that yellow bit too warm. And she didn't like the fact that there's a gray line. And we all know why that is a metal ceramic crown is the metal showing through. So when you have a case like this, and you look at this lady smile after her teeth are actually framed really nicely within her lips, she's 68 years old, she looks great when she tells me that she has an aesthetic concern, instead of replacing this upper right six, because there's two good reasons why I shouldn't replace it upper right six. One is that it's still healthy. The margins still good, even though it's done many years ago is still a good tooth. But the second reason is because she has a limited opening. And for me to do a good job back there in a limited opening compared to I'm assuming she had a better opening many years ago when the crown was first done to actually be a pension to be doing a disservice for this patient. That's two good reasons. But the third good reason is will that really massively help her smile. So by changing the upper right six crown to something a bit nicer that says a Zirconia or just a better color with no metal, that may improve her smile and her perception, but really look at the anterior is look at the upper right one, the upper left one and upper left two. Yes, in this particular photo, I've just put a composite blob on to check shade. But if you have a look at this original photo,

In this mammoth episode (boy, it’s a long one but I hope you like it!) we have the legend that is Dr Jason Smithson. If you are a Dentist and have not heard of Jason Smithson, you have been living under a rock! The calibre of cases that Jason posts on Social media and lectures is always unbelievable and we as a profession learn a lot from from him, as well as the courses he runs. I went on his Onlays and Veneers course about 4 years ago and I was really engaged throughout the entire 2 days. Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! We will be talking all thinks eMax onlays and vertical preparations. Protrusive Dental Pearl: for all my listeners, a group just for you where we can share content, knowledge and files for each other: Protrusive Dental Community First half we discuss all about lithium disilicate onlays including: Indications and contraindicationsWhen an onlay really should be a crownThickness of eMaxWhy flat top onlays are not recommendedHow thin can we go if on virgin enamel? (Think of OVD increase cases)IDS (Immediate Dentine Sealing) and and DME (Deep Margin Elevation We also discussed Vertipreps in great detail! What is “vertiptrep “or “vertical crowns”?Why have they ‘suddenly’ become fashionable?Tips for temporising for Vertis (see eggshell technique reference)What to tell your technicianTrouble shooting Vertical crowns (overcoming friction!) And we also discuss a gem right at the end about how I help to improve the longevity of my anterior work by a simple trick that takes 4 or 5 minutes with only with a disc….and Smithson agreed it is a good thing to do! Resources shared with this episode on the Protrusive Dental Community Facebook group: Eggshell temporary techniqueLoi’s paper on BOPTBur codes for the Vertical prep burs we discuss Lots of news to share with you all: Those of you who follow me on Instagram (@jazzygulati) or like the Protrusive Dental Podcast Facebook page (I’m pretty active) will have seen the news that starting from the next episode (which by the way is with none other than Kushal Gadhia) you can get enhanced CPD! My guest and I will produce A&Os and have some questions for you to answer. The only caveat is you have to be a Dentinal Tubules member – if you listen to my ramblings, you either LOVE dentistry or you WANT TO TRY to love dentistry or you want to reignite your passion, and that’s exactly what Tubules is about and I am provide for them to quality assure and issue my CPD.

And really what you need to do is take a step back and work out why they've got a problem... Jaz's Introduction: Hello everyone, and welcome to Protrusive Dental podcast. This is Episode 19 with Dr. Jason Smithson. Jason Smithson is an internationally acclaimed dentist, and he's a fantastic educator. If you don't know who he is, you're probably living under a rock or something because he is one of those well known dentists in the world. I went to his course around about four years ago now on onlays and veneers, and it's one of the best courses I've been on. He is such an inspirational dentist in the sense that he shares so much of his knowledge. So if you go on Facebook, and you check out some of his cases, they are fantastic. Like I said, he is famous around the world raised it to Latin America and Asia. And when he has time he tries to the UK as well. So I was really excited to have Jason on the podcast today. We will be discussing all things Emaxs, lithium disilicate and particularly in respect to onlays. Cuz you know, we could talk about all sorts of veneers, I suppose we touched on that a little bit,

But what's happened?... Jaz's Introduction: Hello everyone and welcome to the Protrusive Dental podcast, it's Jaz Gulati here. Today, I've got Stephen Hudson on the show, we've been talking all things about like consent forms, notetaking, how not to get sued, the relevance of Montgomery, Who the hell is Montgomery? You'll find out today, like I did, I thought Montgomery was a guy, right? It's actually a woman. So there we are. I've noticed that actually, a lot of my listeners are starting to message me with recommendations for who they think that should come on the show next, and I'm actually loving it. So please, if you've got any suggestions for topics, I'd love to hear it, I've got a good list of speakers coming up and guests on the show lined up for you. But if you think something would be beneficial to the audience, then please come with the suggestions. Before we dive into the episode I will give you the Protrusive Dental pearl for today. And that is going to be a gift to you guys. It is my custom screen for taking comprehensive examination notes. So for my new patient examination, I try and make it fairly comprehensive. It's not ott it's pretty detailed. And you know, you can fit in what you want. But basically the the benefit of a custom screen, if you never heard of a custom screen is on Exact, Software of Excellence , Exact. You can actually have a way of collecting notes where instead of having to have like a template where you're adding and deleting stuff, I've converted it into like tick boxes and drop downs. So it actually makes it really easy for your nurse to follow what you're doing. And like for example, molar classification, you can just drop down click class two whatever, you can select your sort of incisor classification, you can have the BP code within the custom screen, you can take where the radiograph is grade one, two, or three on page two of the custom screen. So basically, custom screen is a fantastic way of collecting notes efficiently. And also notes of very good quality. So I'm going to share with you my custom screen, the story of how I got to make my custom screen was basically I was a bit poorly last Christmas. Basically I hate doing nothing right? So I was in bed, I was super sick. So what the hell can I do anything I can move. So I got my laptop, open our log into exact. And I was able to bust out for hours and make this custom screen. So I know I worked really hard on this custom screen. But it's not perfect.

Actually, it's not gonna work. And the way I view it is if someone's got an in standing premotor and they need a dahl, because why not just have you know, a few mouths or a couple mouths of ortho, you know, it's not a rocket science to move that tooth, that's the point if you've got a little bit of, you know, dahl is effectively like doing some ortho. It's like doing some ortho but we're talking about biplane... Jaz's Introduction: Hello, everyone, and welcome to Episode 17. The one that so many of you have been pestering me about. I sort of teased you with the first episode with Dr. Tif Qureshi Dahl part one, and then I threw in the 12 rules of dentistry which was please say greatly received. And then a lot of people got value from that. And now to continue on from that cliffhanger I left you on with Dr. Tif Qureshi. I've got dahl Part Two for you today. So this will be the spicy part. Now, before we get into an excellent conversation with the top man that is Doc Tif Qureshi some important things. Firstly, a very Happy New Year to all my listeners. Thank you so much for tuning in in my first proper year. 2019 was really the first year I started podcasting. And honestly, I really, really appreciate you taking your time to listen to it. I struggle to listen to myself, you know, I make myself cringe. But the fact that other people are listening to me is just it blows my mind. So thank you so much. A massive shout out to one of my listeners. I'm not gonna ask him but he messaged me to say thank you. Because somehow the episode with Druh Shah and myself episode 3 transition to private had such an influence on him that he decided to change his environment, change his mindset. And he thinks that good things have happened because of it. So now he's in, his goal was to be in full time private practice, and now looks like in the coming months he'll be able to achieve that. So if I've had that sort of influence on him, that has literally made it completely worth my while. And that's exactly what I like to do for as many people as I can. I love sharing my enthusiasm and my love for dentistry. And it's so great to hear stories like that. So thanks so much for reaching out to me. And thank you Dhru Shah as well for a great episode that we did in Episode Three. Secondly, I'm really sorry that I didn't give you a Protrusive Dental pearl with the last episode to make up for it. I'm going to give you today a really, really awesome pProtrusive Dental pearl which can save you hundreds of pounds potentially. Okay, so Hear me out this pearl or this hack will save you money on buying a composite heater. So the first question that some people ask when we talk about heated composite or a composite heater is why would you heat the composite in the first place. So from my understanding from in-vitro studies,

[Jaz]David Bretton. Mr. Positivity? [David]Jaz, Good to be here. [Jaz]Absolutely. And I when I thought, right, I want to do something like 12 rules for dentistry because, obviously the book by Jordan Peterson, and a lot of other industries and professions have sort of made their own 12 rules if you'd like. And I thought, right, if I do something like this, there's only one person in the world I can think of who would match it so and who will do it justice. And that's, you [David]I appreciate that. I didn't know it's your may have connected me since on the sorts of topics I think, really, we've always talked about things beyond the clinical side of things of dentistry. [Jaz]That's right. Remember the first time we met and we discovered our mutual interest for self development and positivity and that sort of stuff? Do you ever do remember? [David]It was [inaudible] award? [Jaz]It was. It was British and ronix. And it was actually you introduced me to Tony Robbins. Yeah. That's quite life changing. If you're the one who introduces someone to Tony Robbins, you've changed someone's life for the better. [David]You've definitely helped people to that, I'd say we've definitely people. [Jaz]Awesome. So let's just dive right in. [David]Dive right in, so about 12, our big rules to go for I think so. Yeah, let's get on a chat about that really. [Jaz]Absolutely and for those tuning in, and thanks for joining us, you know, these 12 rules are what we make it, have your own 12 rules. It's you know, you might enjoy some of them. You might hate some of them. That's completely cool. Okay? Weird is this something that me and David sort of looked at and agreed on that? You know, actually, and there might be some things that we haven't actually rehearsed this. So there might be some things and I said today Look, it's completely cool if we disagree on something. So let's go. So rule number one for rules in a 12 rules for dentistry or 12 rule for dentists or everyone involved in dentistry is see everyone. So David, I came up, well I didn't come up with this rule. I pinched this rule from a book that's called If I could just tell you one thing by Richard Reed, have you read that one? [David]I haven't. No. [Jaz]So Richard Reed, he he's basically meets all these powerful people in the world. And he just answered one piece of advice. And what Bill Clinton said was See everyone. And what that means is basically that Bill Clinton, he has a very special talent, or a gift is that he makes everyone feel important from the person wh...

I really love recording it. And once again, it was a video podcast so you can see it on my Facebook page as well. But what can I say I am honored to have the Doctor Tif Qureshi on this podcast. I feel like the guests are getting better and better each time and it's privileged people to interview these people. So Tif, the story of being with Tif is I went to his course in Sydney. Actually, I was living in Singapore at the time, and it was a great way to see Australia and I noticed that actually, Tif was teaching in Sydney and my wife let me go, so Sim thanks for letting me go. Now Tif is I'm gonna go ahead and say he is the most respectable person in UK dentistry. There we go. I said, if you don't know about Tif Qureshi, then please join us for his fantastic two part episode. The amount of value he gives in the recording was so vast that I had to split it two episodes. So the way that the two episodes are split as follows. Part One of Dahl is basically talking about the importance of consistent photography, how Tif Qureshi carries out his consultations and what kind of communication he carries out with his ongoing patients in the run up to Dahl because what you'll find out is that a lot of these Dahl cases, they're not done as a treatment plan that's presented to a patient and then they go ahead, it's a conversation to have and you need to cultivate and discuss with the patient. So it's some great tips in there. We talk about young associates moving around too much in terms of associate positions, we talk about how much you can learn from your follow ups, you know, you're already probably familiar with a lot of his ideologies and ...

Jaz's Introduction: You can almost hear the excitement in my voice right now. I have none other than the Dr. Michael freaking Melkers on the podcast. And the reason I'm so excited is because as you know a lot of you know, I saw Dr. Michael Melkers in Stockholm last year in his two day course, absolutely just inspired me so much was a massive, massive part of my occlusal journey if you like. So I'm so excited to have him on the podcast. And for some of you who might have seen my Facebook exploded about a week ago. So for those of you who haven't been my Facebook page is facebook.com/protrusive. And on there, you can check out the video version of this podcast. So you can see me and Michael, Michael Melkers were sort of, you know, our faces, interchanging and it's the first ever video podcast I did. And it went well. Thankfully, a few little minor glitches, which I mentioned are sorted out in terms of streaming and stuff. But overall, if you prefer to watch rather listen, then you have the option for this podcast episode to sort of watch that. So yeah, that's on the Protrusive Facebook page. And if you want to listen to it, that's totally cool. That's why I'm recording this. But you do get an added benefit of you know, I'm putting in the Protrusive Dental pearl for today and a few other extra bits. So let's just dive right into that. My Protrusive Dental pearl for you today is related to occlusion and splints. And I learned this from Hit Parmar who is a dental technician at Fine Art dental studio, which is in Birmingham. And I met him at Kushal Gadhia, Rahul Shah and Victor Gehani sort of Ace course, that's acecourse.uk.co I believe. We were discussing about splints and splints compliance, because we all know we all have those patients where the compliance with splinters is not so good. They feel it's too bulky, not comfortable. And I had one sweet old lady asked me look Jaz, we're recommending this, you know, 400, 500 pounds splint And what if I don't get along with it? You know what, that's completely reasonable.
