Overview to Occlusion in dentistry P1 by Dr.Moez Khakiani on the 32 MINUTE

In my previous interview with Dr. Moez Khakiani we spoke about Material choices in Fixed prosthodontics. In this dental podcast we discuss about Occlusion in dentistry. Yes, not only in fixed prosthodontics but universally occlusion plays a vital role in all branches. According to Moez occlusion connects all branches on dentistry together. A failure to understand occlusion either before or after a procedure might create an iatrogenic issue. We cover vital aspects like

  • How to understand occlusion before starting a case.
  • What is occlusion
  • Interference & Guidance
  • Articulating paper VS articulating foils
  • Static VS dynamic occlusion and
  • in the end a casual Rapid fire round !!

Occlusion in dentistry is a LANDMARK episode for me because this is the 1st episode recorded in my studio. You can appreciate the high voice quality which is far more superior than online interviews.The biggest difference is however interviewing face to face, it is so comfortable & there’s definitely a connect that was missing in online interviews at least in my opinion
