Mohamed welcomes back Kevin and Zach to talk about the comprehensive exam. It turns out that they do them a little bit differently in dental school than in private practice! They discuss the challenges of lengthy school exams, the importance of efficient workflows in private practice, and the crucial role of patient communication. Key Discussion Points: Dental School Exams: Zach describes the lengthy and cumbersome process at his dental school, including screening appointments, multiple trips to radiology, extensive paperwork, and faculty approval. He highlights the frustration of the process and the difficulty of managing patient expectations and finances. Private Practice Workflow (Kevin): Kevin details his streamlined approach in private practice, emphasizing the importance of delegation to trained team members. His workflow includes: Comprehensive Records: High-quality photos (smile, retracted smile, occlusal, buccal), cone beam scans, bite wings, and potentially digital scans. He stresses the value of photos for patient education and documentation. Efficient Exam: A quick but thorough exam after reviewing records. Patient Communication: Using photos and plain language to explain diagnoses and treatment plans. Focusing on the patient's chief complaint. Treatment Planning & Financial Discussion: Developing a plan and discussing finances with the patient. Patient Triage: The hosts discuss the importance of phone triage to determine the type of appointment needed (emergency, comprehensive, etc.) and to schedule patients appropriately. They also touch on the challenge of "walk-in" emergencies and how to integrate them into the workflow. Patient Communication: Both Kevin and Zach emphasize the use of patient-friendly language, avoiding technical jargon. Kevin highlights the importance of showing patients their photos and explaining findings visually. Adapting to Patient Needs: The conversation covers tailoring exams and treatment plans to different patient populations (teens, elderly, etc.) and individual needs. Teamwork: Kevin emphasizes the role of a well-trained team in managing the workflow efficiently. Key Takeaways: Photos are Crucial: High-quality photos are invaluable for patient education, documentation, and communication. Streamline Your Workflow: Efficient processes save time and improve patient experience. Communicate Clearly: Use patient-friendly language and visuals to explain diagnoses and treatment plans. Triage Effectively: Proper phone triage helps schedule patients appropriately and manage the flow of the practice. Adapt and Pivot: Be prepared to adjust your approach based on individual patient needs and emergencies. Delegate Effectively: Trust your team members to handle tasks efficiently.

Very Dental Student: How to Do a Root Canal with Zach and Kevin

In this episode of the Very Dental Student Podcast, Mo talks with Kevin and Zach to discuss endodontic procedures, comparing dental school protocols with real-world practices. They delve into a step-by-step walkthrough of an endo procedure on a premolar, highlighting key differences and offering valuable insights for dental students and new dentists. Key Takeaways: CBCT is Your Friend: While PAs and bitewings are helpful, a CBCT scan provides a 3D view of the canal system, acting as a "GPS" for navigation. This is especially crucial for molars and complex premolars. Begin with the End in Mind: Always consider the final restoration (likely a crown). Take a pre-op impression before starting the endo to simplify temporary crown fabrication. Quadrant Isolation: Isolate more than just the tooth being treated with your rubber dam. This provides better orientation and access for both endo and crown prep. Flat Top that Tooth: Reduce the occlusion and flatten the tooth before accessing the canals. This improves visibility, access, and post-op comfort. Lubricate Early and Often: Use RC Prep on your files before entering the canals to prevent pushing debris apically and to aid in lubrication and chelation. Hypochlorite Timing: Introduce sodium hypochlorite after establishing working length to avoid pushing debris and potentially blocking the canal. Secondary Rinses: Use EDTA or a similar product (like Smear Off) to remove the smear layer created by sodium hypochlorite before obturation. Sealer Coating Technique: Coat the canal walls with sealer by running your files in reverse. This ensures a more thorough and even distribution. Post-Op Comfort: Even if a crown is planned, taking the tooth out of occlusion can improve patient comfort and reduce post-op complications. Posts - Controversial but Sometimes Necessary: While posts are less common today, they can be valuable in certain situations, particularly for premolars and anterior teeth. Crown Prep Under Rubber Dam: While unconventional, prepping crowns under a rubber dam can be done effectively with practice and proper technique.

Here's a breakdown of the general sentiment:Challenges and ConcernsFinancial feasibility:Securing loans for practice acquisition amidst student debt can be daunting. Building a thriving practice also takes time and investment, posing financial risks for young dentists.Limited experience:Graduates, though equipped with clinical skills, might lack the business acumen and operational knowledge crucial for running a successful practice. Gaining experience as an associate dentist first can be valuable.Time commitment:Practice ownership demands more than just clinical expertise. Marketing, administration, staff management, and financial responsibilities are all part of the package, eating into personal time and potentially impacting work-life balance.Positive Views and Options:Early investment:Owning early can benefit from lower practice purchase costs and potentially establish a strong client base in a desired location.Control and autonomy:Practice ownership offers independence and the ability to shape your career path and practice philosophy.
