Occlusion Questions from Students – AJ005

See blue dot. Erase blue dot. That was my clinical application of Occlusion at Dental school! This episode was ‘Occlusion for Dental Students and New Grads’ – as featured on The Very Dental Student podcast. Oklahoma based Dental student Mohamed Abo-Basha asked Jaz questions to make Occlusion tangible – exploring topics like using a face bow, understanding the importance of centric relation in everyday dentistry (and why in our DAILY bread and butter Dentistry, it’s not very important for 99% of our patients), and strategies for improving our ability to adapt to our patients’ occlusions. https://youtu.be/L5Dd6HZ22IM Watch AJ005 on Youtube Need to Read it?
