Which imaging techniques should you prioritize for TMD patients? Does a panoramic radiograph hold any value?  When should you consider taking a CBCT of the joints instead? How about an MRI scan for the TMJ? Dr. Dania Tamimi joins Jaz for the first AES 2026 Takeover episode, diving deep into the complexities of TMD diagnosis and TMJ Imaging. They break down the key imaging techniques, how to use them effectively, and the importance of accurate reports in patient care. They also discuss key strategies for making sense of MRIs and CBCTs, highlighting how the quality of reports can significantly impact patient care and diagnosis. Understanding these concepts early can make all the difference in effectively managing TMD cases. https://youtu.be/NBCdqhs5oNY Watch PDP223 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Don't lose touch with the magic of in-person learning — balance online education with attending live conferences to connect with peers, meet mentors, and experience the true essence of dentistry!

Key Takeaways: Imaging should follow clinical diagnosis → not replace it. Every imaging modality answers different questions; choose wisely. TMJ disorders affect more than the jaw → they influence face, airway, growth, posture. Think beyond replacing teeth → treatment should serve function, not just fill space. Avoid “satisfaction of search error” → finding one problem shouldn't stop broader evaluation.

Can composite really outperform ceramic in the right case? Do you know when to choose an inlay over an onlay? What makes occlusal veneers so effective — even at just 0.6 mm thickness? After years of anticipation, Dr. Pascal Magne finally joins Jaz Gulati on the podcast for an episode packed with adhesive dentistry gold. They dive deep into occlusal veneers, material selection, and why indirect composite may be the best-kept secret for worn, root-filled molars. They also unpack the full bonding protocol step-by-step—from air abrasion and IDS to silane application and cementation with preheated composite. Whether you're doing full rehabs or composite repairs, this episode is your go-to guide for smarter biomimetic dentistry. https://youtu.be/WTsF1mD-nTo Watch PDP221 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: After applying silane, don't just let it evaporate—let it react for 30 seconds, then air dry, and crucially, use a heat source (like a hairdryer) for 60 seconds to activate it properly and achieve optimal bond strength. This enhances the effectiveness of silane and significantly improves the bond strength of indirect restorations like composite or lithium disilicate. Key Takeaways: Occlusal veneers can be as thin as 0.6 mm. Indirect composite is often a superior choice for restorations. Proper bonding protocols are crucial for successful restorations. Focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses is key in dentistry. Conservative approaches in dentistry can preserve tooth structure. The vital tooth is always preferable to a non-vital tooth. Composite resin has wear properties similar to enamel. Occlusal veneers provide excellent protection for compromised teeth. Porcelain veneers have long-term durability compared to composites. The evolution of composite materials has led to better options for restorations. Zirconia is strong but difficult to adjust and bond effectively. Immediate dentin sealing is crucial for successful bonding and patient comfort. The Dahl principle allows for minimal preparation in certain cases. Composites can be as effective as ceramics when used correctly. Understanding the properties of materials is essential for successful restorations. Thin occlusal veneers can be successfully bonded with proper techniques.

Are ergonomic loupes and fancy chairs really worth the investment? Is back pain an inevitable part of being a dentist—or can it be prevented? Are you setting yourself up for a long, pain-free career in dentistry? What's the number one thing you should be doing right now to protect your body for the long haul? Dr. Sam Cope is back, and he's not just any dentist—he started as a physiotherapist before training in dentistry. That means when it comes to musculoskeletal health, posture, and career longevity, Sam knows his stuff. In this episode, Jaz and Sam revisit the crucial topic of back pain in dentistry and dive even deeper into what actually works to keep you practicing pain-free. So, if you clicked on this because you're worried about back pain, take this as your sign—your future self will thank you. https://youtu.be/lUC45aLXZKk Watch PDP220 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl:  Motion is lotion. Staying active prevents back pain and keeps your career strong. If you're not making time for exercise, it's time to rethink your habits. Knowing isn't enough—action is what matters. Prioritize your health now. Key Take-Away: Posture and back pain have no direct correlation. Apprenticeships provide invaluable experience and learning opportunities. Investing time in learning and shadowing can accelerate career growth. Ergonomic tools can enhance comfort but should be tailored to individual needs. Mental health is crucial for dentists, and seeking help is a sign of strength. The human body can adapt to various postures with training. Choosing a specialization should align with personal interests and strengths. Preventative measures in ergonomics can improve career longevity. Continuous learning and adaptation are essential in the dental field. Choosing the right dental chair is crucial for comfort. Preventative strategies for back pain include regular exercise.

The Northern Mental Health Nursing Qualitative Research Forum meets three times a year to connect Mental Health Nurse researchers interested in, and conducting, qualitative research, methodologies and innovations. If you wish to be added to the mailing list, please contact james.turner@shu.ac.uk. The following session was recorded at their fifth event on Friday 3 May 2024. With thanks to Prof Karen Wright and Dr James Turner for organising the event and the invitation to support with recording the sessions. Author: Dr Gary Lamph Title: A World Café Approach that explored perspectives of people with lived experience and occupational experience Background - The diagnosis personality disorder is one which continues to split opinions. Negative connotations, stigma and negativity surrounds the diagnostic category. In recent years a movement to challenge the label and terminology of personality disorder has emerged. Aim – To explore the perspectives of the diagnostic label personality disorder with people with lived and occupational experience in a live conference world café based format. Methods – Adopting a World café participatory method provided a flexible and effective approach to capturing the qualitative views of people in a large group format. Table discussions were hosted using a co-facilitated model to capture the table discussions. Each table had different discussion points pertaining to the diagnostic label. The event ensured that necessary dialogue is developed, delivered and analysed in co-production. The unique methods and delivery will be discussed. Results - This study identified contrasting opinions towards the label of Personality Disorder and provides insight into the concerns described for both keeping and losing the label. Although many felt the words ‘‘personality'' and ‘‘disorder'' are not in themselves helpful, certain positive views were also revealed. Perspectives towards the label were influenced by the way in which diagnosis was explained and understood by patients and practitioners, alongside the extent to which service provision and evidence-based interventions were offered.

Aim: To glory in our risen Christ - as God's resurrected church

Welcome to episode 119 [originally broadcast on Wednesday 15 March 2023] of #mhTV​​​​​​​​. Between 13 and 14 March the 2023 Horatio Congress happened in Malta. Dr Neil Murphy and Dave Munday attended on behalf of Unite/MHNA. In this episode, Neil and Dave provide a brief reflection on some of the highlights from the two day event. Following this you can see a recording of the congress session that Dave gave, joined by Nicky Lambert via Zoom: ‘#mhTV – how to build an online digital community'. We were also lucky to have the excellent volunteer, Shuna Vanner take up the ask to join in the conference session. Shuna is a clinical nurse specialist in Heiloo, Netherlands. Background: Mental ill health is still seen as frightening or mysterious, although it's part of everyday human experience. The community of people who live with mental distress, who care for and about them, who work to make things easier through research, practice and education have move in common than divides them and there is much to be understood and celebrated. During the pandemic and in their own time, the #mhTV team created an online television and podcast series to support colleagues, celebrate nursing and discuss mental health issues. We began by live streaming their conversations about COVID-19 on Facebook and covered mor- al injury, bereavement, loss and social inequality and have gone on to produce a 100 episodes about all aspects of mental health practice. Aim: To share our experience of coproducing a learning network and collaborating to produce educational and professional content Method: This is a shared and coproduced endeavour - we meet guests and engage in helping conversations to make complex ideas or intimidating topics accessible and interesting - we share links to work, articles, im- ages and support independent learning during the show and can respond to real time questions. We want to share our love of mental health communities and believe that you don't need permission to educate yourself or explore subjects you find interesting. For example the team also hosted the mental health nursing research conference enabling it to go ahead free of charge and expanding its reach to be seen by more than 2,000 people compared to its usual 200 attendees. Results and Discussion: In this workshop we will describe what we did and why. We will look at the successes and lessons learned and offer practical suggestions and guidance for anyone wishing to try something similar. We will also describe the technology used and how to get the most out of social media from a professional perspective.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.09.07.506981v1?rss=1 Authors: Parks, S. Z., Rutter, G. A., Leclerc, I. Abstract: Background: Soluble Resistance Related Calcium Binding Protein (sorcin) is a calcium (Ca2+) binding protein which has been shown to play a role in maintaining intracellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ stores and lowering ER stress. Recently, our lab has demonstrated that sorcin expression was downregulated in the islets of Langerhans of mice fed a high-fat diet or in human islets incubated with the saturated fatty acid palmitate. We also showed that overexpression of sorcin under control of the rat insulin promoter (RIP7) in C57BL/6J mice, or whole body sorcin deletion in 129S1/SvImJ mice, improves or impairs insulin secretion and pancreatic {beta}-cell function respectively. The mechanisms behind this beneficial role of sorcin in the pancreatic {beta}-cell might depend on protection against lipotoxic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress through improved ER Ca2+ dynamics and activation of the Activating Transcription Factor 6 (ATF6) branch of the unfolded protein response (UPR). Whether sorcin is also implicated in hypothalamic ER stress during the progression of obesity is unknown. This could potentially contribute to the diminished satiety typically observed in overweight individuals. Aim: To investigate a potential role of sorcin in hypothalamic ER stress, leptin resistance, hyperphagia and obesity. Methods: Whole-body sorcin null mice, backcrossed onto the C57BL/6J genetic background, were used. Body weight, food intake and EchoMRI body composition were measured in vivo whereas qRT-PCR analysis of sorcin and ER stress markers expression were performed on the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. Leptin signalling through STAT3 phosphorylation was measured by Western blots on sorcin-null HEK293 cells, engineered by CRISPR/Cas9, and transfected with leptin receptor (LepRb). Results: Sorcin expression was not influenced in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus by diet-induced obesity. Whole-body sorcin ablation did not cause ARC ER stress nor changes in body weight, body composition or food intake in C57BL/6 male mice exposed to a high-fat, high-sugar diet. STAT3 phosphorylation (Y705) in response to leptin was not impaired in sorcin-null HEK293 cells. Conclusion: In our model, whole body sorcin ablation did not increase hypothalamic ER stress nor influenced food intake or body weight. Copy rights belong to original authors.
