But it's actually taken off hugely for the management of white spot lesions anteriorly. I've been using icon resin infiltration for a few years now, and I've had some pretty good results. Jaz's Introduction:And so this stuff, this resin that infiltrates into these white patches, like our guest Linda Greenwell, the way she beautifully describes it with her soothing voice is that the white patch is like an air bubble, and she explains that analogy wonderfully throughout this episode. And it seems to be a really great, minimally invasive way to manage white patches, either after orthotics or MIH or of any origin. Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to another episode of the Protrusive Dental Podcast. That's right. We got Linda Greenwell back again after that amazing episode about the rules around whitening for under 18. If you haven't seen that, do check it out because it does tie in well with this episode because one of the things that Linda will teach us is the importance of tooth whitening before doing resin infiltration. In fact, Linda leaves no stone unturned. Every single micro step and the nuances and considerations, and even the troubleshooting. What if things don't go to plan? It's covered so comprehensively, so beautifully that I think DMG, the company that makes the stuff will probably host this podcast episode on their own website. We also answer burning real world questions such as, do you have to use rubber dam for this technique? And can you use any composite, like sometimes you actually have to have composite at the end of it. Do you have to use a bond before you use the composite or is the adhesive with the icon enough? And what is the best type of composite to use at the end if required? So if you listen all the way to the end, you'll find the answer to that one as well. Protrusive Dental Pearl:The Protrusive Dental Pearl for you is the best infographic or treatment guide you've ever seen. As you know, some of the Protrusive guides before have become pretty famous for the amount of detail and concise amount of knowledge on them.

It gets a little bit complicated, but don't worry, we've done all the hard work for you. We've mapped out the exact microsteps and the little nuances with helpful diagrams and tips all in one flow chart.

Before we joined the main episode with Dr. Linda Greenwall, I wanted to announce something really special with EVO 4. EVO 4 is the latest generation of Enlighten Whitening. The changes with EVO 4 really make it superior, so now there's no more in surgery stages, three weeks, all at home. They've also done something very clever with the tray design. So the whitening tray, sometimes posteriorly, they sort of flap off. There's a lack of retention sometimes. Quite often molars have small clinical crowns, you see, and that allows saliva to come in. So kind of like with the aligners, they've actually built in an attachment, single attachment on each side, which is optional to use, but I've used it and super easy. So if it gets you better results, why not? And they've incorporated that as part of the EVO 4 system. The final change, which is pretty important, is that now the gel will ship to you with the tray so you don't have the gel lying around the practice. It comes with you as a bespoke order with the patient's whitening trays. Now, the benefit of that is that the gel doesn't stay lying around the practice, and the more it lies around the practice over time, the more it breaks down, the more it breaks down, the more acidic it becomes. The more acidic whitening gel becomes, the more sensitivity you have. Can you see where we're going with this? It's less sensitivity. It's fresher gel for better results to celebrate the launch of EVO 4, my buddy Payman Langroudi and Enlighten Smiles are giving away 20 free kits to the Protruserati. It's super easy to get a kit. All you have to do is go on the Facebook group, Protrusive Dental Community. On there, I've started a thread, and on that thread I've asked, who wants a free whitening kit? Of all the people who comment, we will randomly select using one of those random apps that you see online. 20 winners. So you can start using either on your patients or your staff or your family with the new EVO 4 system. So the Facebook group again is Protrusive Dental Community. Just search it on Facebook. You'll find it. Thank you again. Enlighten and Evo 4 for supporting Protrusive Dental Podcast. Now just check out this really geeky, fantastic episode with Dr. Linda Greenwall. Main Episode:Linda Greenwall, welcome back to the Protrusive Dental Podcast. How are you? [Linda]Thank you. I'm good. [Jaz]It's great to have you back. You blew us away when we talked about whitening for under 18. It's a very controversial topic and it got a slightly controversial response on social media and email, which is fine. We kind of expected that, but in a good way that a lot of dentists were like, wow, someone's actually standing up i.e you for the profession. So that's wonderful. And I was actually at dinner, the weekend. At my friend's house. And he's a dentist, and he asked me a question, Linda. He said, which,' Guest have you had on the podcast whose story really inspires you?' And it is just, like the almost like the most inspirational guest you've had.' And I said, okay. It has to be Linda. Because of your background, your story, your mission, and the clarity in which you communicate your mission statement is just so you know, you are oozing passion about this in all your educational ventures and what you're trying to . Achieve. Through whitening and much further for the restorative dentistry. So I think it was an easy choice for me. So thank you for all that you do for our profession. [Linda]So just one more follow up. There's two more things. Number one, we are really making this year to campaign for the under 18 children because MIH, which is the disease, and a lot of the kids have these white spots that we're going to talk about. MIH is a disease and it's one in six children have this disease. And so whilst they need the mild cases, need icon resin infiltration, they start with whitening. So we are going to focus on the disease aspect, and I'm going to do quite a few series of lectures on the disease aspect of MIH because it's pretty severe and there's a whole lot of new information. That's the first thing. The second thing is we've ramped up our care for the child refugees this year through the Dental Wellness Trust charity that we are working on. And a call to anybody who wants to open their practice on a Sunday, on a weekend to help the child refugees.
