  • White Patches – When to Refer + Diagnoses ORAL MED – PDP206

    White Patches – When to Refer + Diagnoses ORAL MED – PDP206
    Nov 29 2024
    Are you confident in diagnosing white patches? Which white patches need an URGENT referral? How do you tell the difference between lichen planus, lichenoid reactions, and other common lesions? Dr. Amanda Phoon Nguyen is back with another amazing episode, this time diving deep into the world of oral white patches. Jaz and Amanda explore the most common lesions you’ll encounter, breaking down their appearance, diagnosis, and management. They also discuss key strategies to help you build a strong differential diagnosis, because identifying the right lesions early can make all the difference in patient care. https://youtu.be/xlQpuQu2Hl0 Watch this full episode on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: A new infographic summarizing Dr. Amanda Phoon Nguyen’s key teachings. Jaz describes it as an easy-to-follow "cheat sheet" designed to simplify complex ideas and make it easier to apply the concepts discussed in the episode. You can download the Infographic for free inside Protrusive Guidance 'Free Podcasts + Videos' section. Key Takeaways White patches in the oral cavity can be classified into normal variants, non-pathological patches, and potentially malignant disorders. It is important to identify the cause of the white patch and differentiate between different types. Referrals should be made based on the characteristics of the white patch and the urgency of the situation. Clinical photographs are valuable in referrals and can aid in triaging patients. Ongoing monitoring is important for potentially malignant disorders. Lichen planus can have different types and presentations, and a biopsy may be necessary for certain cases. Enlarged taste buds, particularly in the foliate papillae, are usually bilateral and not a cause for concern. Oral lichenoid lesions can be triggered by dental restorative materials or medications, and a change in dental material may sometimes improve the condition. Smoker's mouth can present with white patches and inflammation in areas where smoke gathers, and counseling patients to reduce smoking is important. Oral submucous fibrosis, often caused by areca nut chewing, requires regular review and counseling patients to stop chewing the nut.

    Making Awesome Dentures – Border Moulding and Beyond – PDP205
    Nov 26 2024
    What are the key steps and nuances to make awesome Dentures that your patients will love? In this episode, Jaz probes Removable Pros legend Dr Mike Gregory to break down the process. From border molding to primary impressions and the teamwork between dentists and technicians, Mike reveals the key steps to making great dentures. https://youtu.be/snM3PerQ1ko For example, be sure to include a note on the lab sheet for the technician: "Preserve full peripheral depth and width of the sulcus on this impression, to about 2-3mm." This ensures the correct functional width is maintained when the final tray or denture is created. Protrusive Dental Pearl: When checking denture occlusion, it's crucial to keep the patient relaxed.
