With oral operations, negative outcomes are bound to arise from time to time. Though, when we take the time to continue to stay informed of possible hazards and complications, we can better avoid these possible outcomes. On this episode of Dentist Brain Candy, I share three interesting articles from the the Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, including my experience and judgment regarding each topic.

Today we’re taking a break from talking about cutting-edge techniques and tools to focus on another very important topic: racism. Inequality and underrepresentation are unfortunately still present in the workplace, but there is hope for change; real, lasting change. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Raza Hussain about his recently published article on racism, his own experiences with discrimination, and how an appreciation for learning and teaching can remedy this societal and systemic disease. Our discussion opens with Raza telling us about his background. He touches on life as a first-generation Pakistani-American, and how the first Gulf war and how his surname, ‘Hussain,’ impacted his upbringing in America. Delving deeper, Raza shares details on why not all racism is intentional, but rather comes from a place of ignorance. The way to cure this, says Raza, is to be a teacher. He expands on this and suggests how you can educate, and even inspire others by telling them about your own unique heritage and customs. As our conversation develops we find out from Raza about how women are also subjected to discrimination in the workplace. He talks about how women are oftentimes better performers in the oral maxillofacial surgery industry, and that their underrepresentation is a great shame but something we can change. Toward the end of the episode, we recap the most pertinent details from our discussion, like the relationship between teaching and learning, and why common ground is so beneficial. Be sure to join in on this episode and educate yourself on how you can help raise minority representation. Key Points From This Episode:Introducing today’s guest, Dr. Raza Hussain.Raza talks about one of his latest journal articles.

This week we discuss some pretty interesting articles from the Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery the first one discussing the Akinosi nerve block technique versus the inferior alveolar nerve block technique for beginners to see whether there's an ease in learning and decrease complication rates for beginners.   I didn't ask us the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein for use in grafting of the  Alveolar cleft. I then proceeded on to discuss where there's a correlation between an impacted mandibular third molar, the type of impaction and mandible fractures and then the type of mandible fractures and believe me when I tell you there is. You're going to have to listen to this episode to find out what that correlation is.
