Posterior Guided Occlusion Part 2 – PDP032

I left you on a bit of a cliffhanger last episode - but now you can finish off Andy's 'origin story' of Posterior Guided Occlusion (PGO) and understand how this is practically implemented on patients. If you missed Part 1 and the ebook by Dr Andy Toy, check it out. https://youtu.be/WJxr1JPpDO0 Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! The Protrusive Dental Pearl for this episode is continuing on the theme of Dental Photography I have been posting about on my Instagram. When taking portrait photos for your patients with a ring flash, point the ring flash at the ceiling, rather than at the patient's face. This creates a softer, nicer image! If you missed out on my Butterfly Effect webinar, you can now check it out on www.protrusive.co.uk/butterfly - it's about how seemingly small events in your career can compound and change the entire trajectory of your dental career. I added a new book to the book list - the Danish Way of Parenting! In this episode we discuss: * Structural school of thought vs Functional school of thought* The relationship between the condylar movement and the teeth* The mathematical equation that is evidence for PGO* I ask Andy questions to test PGO* What does he mean by functional contacts?* What is the healthy clench?* We debate anterior guides vs posterior guides* How does this apply to the patient with large masseter muscles who keeps breaking cusps?* How many 'centrums' are enough?* What Andy is prescribing in Clinchecks for the posterior occlusion* How to finish the occlusion on an orthodontic case - and how Andy makes this 'patient driven'* How Andy finishes 60% of his Invisalign cases with a 'Dahl appliance'* Is Centric relation important to achieve?* Andy tells us the birth of Canine Guidance Click below for full episode transcript: Opening Snippet: The occlusion becomes more simple. You have to work less hard because all you got to do is make sure there's good posterior guides. And all that work you do not the front of the mouth. As long as you don't get too much of a clash there, okay? Then life becomes much, much more simple and you can, canine guidance isn't a bad thing. But it's not essential to a healthy functional bite. Okay?... Jaz's Introduction: Hey, guys, and welcome to Episode 32. This is posterior guided occlusion part two, with Dr. Andy Toy. I know I left you on a massive, massive cliffhanger last time. And I hope you can join us again, to get the complete story of how to actually apply the PGO concepts. Now something like I told you guys, it was me learning a bit about this concept for the first time like many of you, so it might take me some time to implement this, if I do end up fully going that way. But it's just great to hear other points of views and other theories out there. So I'm so glad that Andy, Dr Andy Toy was able to share that all with us. Before we join Dr Andy on the show, again, with part two, I'm gonna give you the Protrusive Dental pearl. And this is a photography one, which has been quite big on my Instagram story recently, I sort of gave a hint that I've ever invested in some new sort of photography, flashes and lighting. And I'm gonna go into a lot of detail about that, because loads of people inquired about how to get that nice softer lighting. So I'm going to do a whole segment on that,
