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 audio 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.
