  • ‘The Routine Check-Up’ – The Breakdown – PS003
    Apr 25 2024
    I remember being a dental student and a simple 'check up' could take HOURS! Then the tutor would come along and complete the observation in 30 seconds... ‘How does a routine general dental examination work in the real world?’, asks Emma, our Protrusive student. The humble ‘check-up’ - as far as you can get from sexy before and after cases. The stuff no one is posting about on socials…until now! https://youtu.be/AutQvQBlg4o Watch PS003 on Youtube Jaz and Emma dissect a ‘routine oral health exam’ and Jaz even includes a full video of a standard check-up, complete with the banter, bitewings and bad explanations! ;) Be sure to check out this additional video freely accessible on our platform, Protrusive Guidance!

And it's overwhelming when you're learning and you realize, oh my goodness, there's so much to check. You try and remember the oral medicine lectures. They tell you to check every single lymph node under the sun. Jaz's Introduction:And then of course, you remember the occlusion, the very few occlusion lectures you had, and you get the patient to bite together and you don't know what you're doing. You don't know what you're checking for, but you're just checking that the bite exists. And then to try and compute all the things you're seeing and try and put it in some sort of diagnosis and explanation, when you're a student, it's tricky. Which is why I've got Emma, our Protrusive Student on today to talk about routine, just routine, gold standard, daily examinations, something that you will see in general practice in the future. Whilst I am recording with Emma Hutchinson, the student, this is suitable for anyone who wants to learn, any dentist at any stage of career, who just wants to get back to basics, back to foundations. For a, what I call a Real World Examination. The reason I call it a real world examination is because the things that I'll be discussing today and what I'll be sharing video form on the Protrusive app under the student scholarship section is a real world exam. So, for example, a comprehensive exam evaluation could take an hour, 90 minutes. You ask different people. Some people do two hour full examinations. And they have my highest respect, and that's amazing. But that level of service is not for the masses. It's not for the general public. Look, some of my colleagues just get 10 minutes to do an entire examination. So I've had to find somewhat of a halfway house. I've just kind of assessed, okay, well, these are essential and these are desirable. Actually, these guidelines already exist. In the practice at the moment, we're doing these audits. We're auditing each other's notes. It was actually been a really great exercise t...

  • Stop Being a Perfectionist – it’s OK to Fail – PDP184
    Apr 19 2024
    When the patient feels pain during an ID block. When a matrix does not seal the cavity perfectly. When the shade of your crown doesn’t blend as well as you would like. When the endo you did last year failed. All of these cause us anxiety. All of these are failures in some form, and as Dentists, it eats at us. Let’s admit it: we are perfectionists. Life isn’t about being perfect, but it is all to do with the effort we apply to better ourselves day to day. Failure is a major part of success, but being hung up on our shortcomings will only lead to a downward spiral, which in turn will affect our results and general practice. In this episode we are joined by Dr Marco Maiolino, all the way from beautiful Sicily, Italy. One of the biggest takeaways from my chat with Marco was the abolishment of the ‘gold standard’ or the standard of perfection - but rather, let’s aim for the ‘daily standard’ https://youtu.be/jRbgvgSpqLk Watch PDP184 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: We cannot be depressed AND grateful at the same time. Let us find moments in our day and in our Dentistry to be grateful. Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below!

Failure really is the best educator in any discipline, especially in dentistry. Jaz’s Introduction:Of all the clinical educators that I know, the kind of people that I have the most time for are those who are happy and willing to share their failures with us. This next guest we have on today, Dr. Marco Maiolino from Siracusa in Sicily. Apparently on his three-day course on VertiPreps, the last day, like the half day is just dedicated to all his failures. And I really, really respect that. I try and emulate that. I love sharing. Well, I say love is a strong word, but I like to share my failures so we can all learn together. And with Marco, like, what he writes on his blog, it's just brilliant. There's a blog he had titled The Imperfect Dentist. And now we need to stop chasing perfection. Perfection should not be the standard. And so it's with great pleasure as part of Mental Health Month. April is Mental Health Month and so at least half the episodes will revolve mental health. It's a great way to kick off this theme by exploring this idea of perfectionism in dentistry. Dental PearlHello Protruserati, I'm Jaz Gulati, and welcome back to your favorite dental podcast. Before we join Marco to discuss about how it's okay to fail, let me give you the Protrusive Dental Pearl. This time it's a bit of a flashback to COVID times. I had Dr. Barry Alton on. I'm just going to echo something that he said. He was an interference cast, and he taught me that it is impossible to be depressed and grateful at the same time. Let me say that again. It's impossible to be depressed and grateful at the same time. So based on that, the Protrusive Pearl I want to share with you as part of mental health month is that every day when you finish work I would like you to write d...
