  • Occlusion Myths and Red Flags with Lukasz Lassmann – PDP225

    Occlusion Myths and Red Flags with Lukasz Lassmann – PDP225
    May 29 2025
    Are you still using long-term provisionals just to test OVD? Is an occlusal splint really the best way to assess vertical dimension? Could raising the OVD actually harm your patient? Dr. Lukasz Lassmann joins Jaz and Mahmoud Ibrahim this AES special episode to challenge conventional thinking around occlusion, vertical dimension, and full mouth rehab. Lukasz shares his unique perspective as a clinician, educator, and researcher, bringing clarity to a topic that often feels murky and divided. They explore real-world questions like managing asymptomatic clicks before ortho, why occlusion alone won’t “cure” bruxism, and the number one reason not to raise the vertical without proper understanding. Plus, Lukasz drops an incredible airway assessment tip at the end of the episode! Protrusive Dental Pearl: Use a comprehensive TMD history-taking form to effectively triage patients into urgent (red), moderate (amber), or low-risk (green) categories—this allows you to prioritize care appropriately and build rapport by focusing on examination rather than data collection during the appointment. https://youtu.be/ZhIoUxdMMsg Watch PDP225 on Youtube Download the form: protrusive.co.uk/tmdhistory Download the Patient History Evaluation Form Takeaways Understanding red flags in TMD patients is essential. Patient history is vital for effective treatment. Phonetics can be unpredictable in dental rehabilitation. Diet and sleep significantly affect TMD management. Gut health is linked to chronic pain conditions. Communication with patients is key to successful outcomes. Bruxism may not be solely caused by occlusion issues. Palpating the lateral pterygoid is often ineffective and painful. Equilibration and centric relation are controversial topics in dentistry. Increasing vertical dimension can exacerbate sleep apnea. Holistic approaches are essential in diagnosing and treating TMD. Not all patients with TMD have malocclusion or attrition. Sleep apnea is increasingly common in younger, slimmer patients. Polygraphy is a useful diagnostic tool for sleep apnea. DISE (drug-induced sleep endoscopy) is a valuable diagnostic procedure.

  • Basics of 3D Printing, Milling and Digital Dentistry – PDP224

    Basics of 3D Printing, Milling and Digital Dentistry – PDP224
    May 22 2025
    Should You Invest in Chairside Milling or 3D Printing? How do milling and printing compare in durability and cost? Which option provides the best long-term ROI for your workflow? In this deep dive, Dr. Rustom Moopen shares his experience with CEREC, ExoCAD, and in-house fabrication, breaking down the real benefits and limitations of both technologies. From restoration strength to efficiency and investment costs, this episode unpacks what every dentist needs to know before taking the leap into milling, printing, and CAD/CAM workflows. https://youtu.be/fgQnrDfXnqI Watch PDP224 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Achieving the same effect (of the ‘Soft Clamp’ by Kerr) with a metal clamp without requiring a potentially painful palatal injection - Dr. Jo Cape (Protruserati) suggests using a cotton bud to apply topical anesthetic to the gingiva where the clamp will be placed, leaving it for a minute, improving patient comfort! Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! Key TakeAway: Investing in technology like milling can lead to a measurable ROI. Time management is crucial in dental procedures for efficiency. Milling is a subtractive process, while printing is additive. Mentorship is often more valuable than formal courses. The dental industry is evolving with new technologies. Understanding the nuances of dental procedures can enhance practice. Early adoption of technology can set a practice apart. Milling and printing serve different purposes in dental work. Mock-ups can save time and improve patient satisfaction. Milling offers more reliability than printing for dental applications. The choice between milling and printing depends on personal preference and practice needs. Milled composites have a proven track record of durability. Printed splints may not hold up under heavy use. Investing in milling technology can enhance practice efficiency. Design software plays a crucial role in modern dentistry. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each method is essential for success. Investing in dental software can be costly but worthwhile. Learning design software is crucial for modern dentistry. Milling is generally superior to printing for final restorations. Regulatory considerations are important for in-house lab work. Choosing the right milling equipment depends on practice needs. Training and mentorship are essential for mastering dental technology.
