Following the cliffhanger from Part 1 where the theme was Diagnosis – we now discuss the two main protocols of internal bleaching: the Inside-Outside Bleaching technique and Walking Bleach Technique for non-vital teeth whitening. In this episode Dr. AJ Ray-Chaudhuri discussed how to prevent peroxide gel from entering the root canal system while performing non-vital bleaching. We cover every detail of the procedure and offer step-by-step guidance on how to make a tray, how much to charge patients, which gels to use and much more. https://youtu.be/5Pl238679j4 Watch PDP147 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: The full protocol workflow – summarised PDF of Part 1 and 2 of this Internal Bleaching Series plus the patient advice sheet AND lab instruction sheet by Dr. AJ Ray-Chaudhuri Click Here to Request the PDFs Download Protrusive App on iOS and Android and Claim your Verifiable CPD/CE by answering a few questions + You can get EARLY ACCESS to the episode + EXCLUSIVE content Highlights of this episode: 2:28 Protrusive Dental Pearl 3:40 Tips and Advice for Internal Bleaching in Practice 7:21 The Inside-Outside Whitening Technique 17:45 Internal Bleaching Protocol 23:21 Getting the proper access cavity 27:21 Dealing with patients who do not follow instructions well 31:47 Considerations and Tips to maximize success or to avoid mistakes 33:08 Internal resorption and relapse If you enjoyed this episode, check out the first part of this episode: Internal Whitening Protocols Pt1 (Non-Vital Bleaching) 

Non-vital bleaching or internal whitening comes in many forms, but it’s often confusing which exact protocol to adopt. When you learn this technique you can make a HUGE difference to a patient’s smile in a minimally invasive manner. Restorative Specialist Dr. AJ Ray-Chaudhuri covered the all-important diagnoses and indications of internal bleaching as well as how to treat tooth calcific metamorphosis (the obliterated pulp). We answer the key question: do you always need to have a root canal treatment present? https://youtu.be/mEHIypt-WW4 Watch PDP146 on Youtube The Protrusive Dental Pearl: When carrying out internal bleaching make sure to clean out the entire pulp chamber especially the necrotic pulp horns – clean the necrotic tissue inside using ultrasonics. Ensure the entire chamber is de-roofed – remember that these are mostly trauma cases and the pulp went necrotic in youth – hence large pulp chambers. No role for Ninja access here!

Rochette Bridges are a popular option for interim tooth replacement whilst implants in the aesthetic zone are ‘cooking’. In this episode with Dr Pav Khaira we discuss his interim restoration protocols using Rochette Bridges and Dentures, as well as gaining an insight in to custom healing abutments. https://youtu.be/InBOBHfYxEA Watch PDP145 on YouTube Which cement is best for Rochette Bridges? How do you remove them? Ceramic or Composite pontic? When might we consider a Denture instead? We then expand in to soft tissue augmentation at the time of implant surgery to get the best pink aesthetics. This episode is packed full of gems even if you do not place implants – much of the benefits of soft tissue augmentation can be applied to non-implant fixed prosthodontics.

No need for violins – this episode was to share our behind-the-scenes story of creating an online occlusion course.

Be sure to watch the first part of this episode: Articaine ID Blocks and the ‘CIA Technique’ for Local Anaesthetic

There is a massive trend of Dentists ditching ID blocks in favour of articaine buccal infiltrations. For many that are still using ID blocks routinely, they are afraid of using Articaine due to fear of paraesthesia. Should we be doing less ID blocks? And when we do, is it ACTUALLY harmful to use articaine or is that a myth? I have to admit, the main reason I heavily switched to buccal articaine was to avoid ID blocks. Dr. Wayne William, our straight-talking, no-BS Prosthodontist guest will bust some myths and improve your daily delivery of safe and effective local anaesthesia. In this episode he taught us the Crestal Intraosseous Approach (CIA), a technique developed by Dr. Wayne to improve our buccal infiltrations. https://youtu.be/LbOxlXIZCkw Check out this full episode on YouTube Download Protrusive App on iOS and Android and Claim your Verifiable CPD/CE by answering a few questions + You can get EARLY ACCESS to the episode + EXCLUSIVE content The Protrusive Dental Pearl:  Check out the couple of videos I posted recently on YouTube and on the app https://youtu.be/yFfKVLmSr5Q Robin Hood Dentistry – a careful and well-considered enameloplasty https://youtu.be/3QLby2U_W3E No More High Restorations 2023 Update – Stop Grinding Away Your Composites! “There is no such thing as a periodontal ligament injection” Dr. Wayne Williams Highlights of this episode: 3:02 The Protrusive Dental Pearl 5:49 Dr. Wayne Williams’ Introduction 8:06 Buccal infiltration with articaine for lower molars 13:09 Crestal Intraosseous Approach (CIA) 22:28 ID Blocks – is it safe? 28:13 Hitting Bone while giving injections – safe or not? 31:04 Failure rate for ID Blocks Occlusion: Basics and Beyond is the most tangible, real-world, and comprehensive occlusion training on the planet.

How to Spot Frictional and Constricted Chewing Patterns (CCP) 

Do you blame bruxism for every time you observe attrition? As you know, I’m no stranger to occlusal appliances, but often they may be inappropriate for the patient who is causing their wear during FUNCTION and not so much during parafunction. Maybe it’s time for us to start looking at different aetiologies of attrition and this is what the wonderful Dr. Sandra Hulac breaks down for us in this banger of an episode. We also discussed the differences between frictional and constricted chewing patterns, which are often confused with each other. We share some case examples and discuss how to correctly diagnose these types of chewing patterns. https://youtu.be/ao0sqY6lXZ4 Check out this full episode on YouTube Download Protrusive App on iOS and Android and Claim your Verifiable CPD/CE by answering a few questions + You can get EARLY ACCESS to the episode + EXCLUSIVE content The Protrusive Dental Pearl: Acknowledge, understand, and believe the fact that often our patient’s centric relation (CR) is NOT more distal/posterior to their maximum intercuspation (MIP) – it can actually be anterior to their MIP!
