But the person who's asking all the questions is our Protrusive Student, Emma Hutchison. Students are so curious and so great at asking questions. I want to make sure that we tailor these more basic episodes to what actually students, young dentists, and those returned to dentistry actually need. Jaz's Introduction:In part one of this series, we covered what are the different types of crowns that we might go through. In part one of the series, we discussed direct versus indirect, and when we are choosing indirect, which materials can we opt for? Especially focusing on all ceramic restorations, which from my time, were not done that much. As a student, we did PFMs, and it sounds like PFMs are still being done in dent schools. Let me tell you, PFMs are not done that much in the real world. So that's why we focus a lot on all ceramics. We also discussed on crowns versus onlays. That was in part one. In today's part two, we're talking about the clinical details. When you get the crown back, how you assess if this is a good crown or a bad crown? When should you reject? What are the different parameters that we tick off? And how can we avoid? Mistakes from happening so you never have to reject lab work. I'll give you a clue involves communicating with your lab technicians, so, so important. Another interesting thing we discuss is what about if you try in a crown and it's completely shy of the bite. So it's not proud. It's not popping the patient open. It's not like eyes too big It's actually completely shy of the bite. Should we reject that? Should we accept it? What is the standard of care? So we covered this real world scenario and so much more in this episode. So I hope you enjoy. Please do comment below and give us a like, if you like what we do. I'll catch you in the outro. Main Episode:Emma Hutchison, welcome back again to the Podcast Student Version. Just give us an update in terms of what's been happening in your world. Are things getting a little bit heated academically? Are you feeling the strain? Are you feeling the pressure? [Emma]Yeah, I'm really starting to sort. At the moment we're in sort of the end of February when we're recording this and I'm just becoming a bit more aware. Exams probably end of April, start of May time.
