Jaz's Introduction: Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to another group function this time with all surgeons specialists, Chris Waith. Yes from that epic episode on how to section and elevate teeth. Listen, if you haven't listened to Episode 85, it is huge, because it just gives so much. I wish I had that when I was just one or two years qualified. In fact, let me tell you a story. Kamila. Kamila, you posted on YouTube when you watch the video which got like over 1000 views now, which is awesome. Guys, I appreciate it very much. Now, Kamila posted on one of the comments saying that, 'Thanks for you know, I discovered your podcast. And thanks for this episode.
