In this episode, Jorge André shares his journey of almost 4 years, writing the 3 part scientific article "Clinical guidelines for posterior restorations based on Coverage, Adhesion, Resistance, Esthetics and Subgingival Management - the C.A.R.E.S. concept." published in the International Journal of Esthetic Dentistry. All 3 parts are out by the time you're listening to our conversation, go look it up. Let's dive into the process of making it! "I got the email today that our article came out. Clinical guidelines for posterior restorations based on Coverage, Adhesion, Resistance, Esthetics, and Subgingival Management - the C.A.R.E.S. concept. Part I which just came out puts out the thought process and goes deep in partial adhesive restorations. This first part is a nerdy read, long text, and many schemes but we had no other way of explaining how we see this. Part II coming out in 3 months focuses on posterior crowns with a risky attempt to organize types of vertical preparations. Part III comes out in 6 months dealing with extreme situations in posterior compromised teeth (subgingival management, fractures, ferrule, extrusion, etc) and posts. I don´t know how we pulled this one, but getting a 3 part article in the IJED @ijedentistry today means we must be doing something right. This has been cooking for the last 3-4 years. Thank you to the reviewers who have positively improved this work and the authors of the total 3 articles for their friendship and inspiration and without who this would never happened - Paulo Julio Almeida, Rui Negrão, Pasquale Venuti, Joao Vinha Oliveira, Teresa Taveira, Ana Sezinando, Luis Afonso, Raul Costa, Hugo Costa Lapa, Nuno Sousa Dias, Joel Bastos and Ricardo Henriques. I need to mention two of them in particular - Pasquale for always trying to seek the truth and providing a fundamental influence in restorative dentistry and vertical preparations in this decade. And Teresa, whose early work on her MSc at King´s started us in this journey and who, very early in her career saw something in me and, against everyone's advice, chose to work exclusively in my practice even when she had few patients and when no one would give a crap about me. Today she is one of the most sought-after clinicians in my practice. Finally, for all the closer ones who know how much these little ways of expressing myself mean to my existence - thank you, I love you!" - Jorge André Cardoso Insight: Go and read every single thing on a specific topic that you are interested in, get inspiration from people who wrote something about it, and then see if something is missing about that subject, if there is a point of view that someone missed or if there is something you feel that you can make a difference there. It doesn't have to be something big. This is usually a feeling first, it's not something you search for like marketers do when they do split tests: You feel you have something that needs to be shown and shared.
