Is your gut instinct harming or helping patients?\n\n\n\nSometimes we\u2019re just not sure which is the \u2018best\u2019 treatment plan to recommend or even if a single tooth is restorable. Dentistry is an art AND a science, which is why things are not black and white.\n\n\n\nWe sometimes get stuck in \u2018analysis paralysis\u2019 and rely on our gut instinct to save us.\n\n\n\nBut can we really trust gut instinct in decision making/treatment planning in Dentistry? Is it really serving our patients?\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/vIEYEA9Y61s\nWatch PDP171 on Youtube\n\n\n\nProtrusive Dental Pearl: Make sure to feel the root tip fragment (rub with your gloved index finger) after extraction - it should feel nice and smooth. The presence of sharp or jagged edges may suggest a potential root fracture, indicating that a fragment of the root might still be lodged in the socket.\n\n\n\nSign up for launch updates for Intaglio Mentoring - making high quality mentorship in Dentistry easy to find.

Let's face it, dentistry is as much of an art as it is a science and therefore, decision making can be really mind boggling. What is the best treatment approach? What is the best technique to use for this particular patient, for this particular problem?\n\n\n\n[Jaz]It's not so easy. And so in this episode, we're going to explore, can you trust your gut instinct? Your intuition when it comes to making these often-complex decisions? Make sure you stay tuned all the way to the end of this episode. Make sure you don't miss my number one advice for helping you with your daily tough decisions.\n\n\n\nHello, Protruserati.

It's a pearl to do with extractions, which has been kind of like a theme for protrusive over the last month or so.\n\n\n\nWe had a recent webinar with Chris Waith on how to section and elevate molars, like which direction should you go in, which hand pieces you should and you shouldn't use. So that'll be out for replay soon. It's already out for protrusive premium members, but I'm gonna find a way to make it more publicly accessible as well.\n\n\n\nSo stay tuned for that but a top tip I'll give you after extraction like there wasn't a...
