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.
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!
