The dental world is changing fast and interdisciplinary conversations are consistently more present in clinical and academic discussions. Pediatric endodontist Dr. Julianna Bair decided to capitalize on the intersectionality of these specialties … essentially ensuring proper management of any case she encounters. In this episode, we take a dichotomous journey that elucidates various considerations within this unique space addressing the age-old question: “Parents in or out of the room?” Dr. Bair enlightens us with her hypotheses on the potency of contemporary nitrous and prioritizing IV sedation and why. The comparisons between the specialties in terms of patient management have vast overlap, but a distinction for pharmacological dosing becomes clear as Dr. Bair displays her mathematical wizardry and rattles off antibiotic conversions and formulas for the pediatric patient. Pedo-endo is no child’s play, but with her vibrant and lighthearted demeanor, Dr. Bair gives the impression it definitely is a lot of fun!

Delving into the digital conversation on the restoration of the endodontically treated tooth, in this episode we talk with prosthodontist and director of the New York University full mouth rehabilitation course, Dr. Dean Vafiadis. Dr. Dean’s vibrant and distinguished cantor draws listeners in as he defines FMR concepts, treatment goals and ideal treatment sequence of the endodontically treated tooth. We break down his patient-centered nuanced view around the paradigm shift of restorative endodontics and preserving peri-cervical dentin. Dr. Dean paints vivid anecdotes and draws from the literature to support his take on adhesive dentistry, pre-restorative endo and post placement.

Dr. Dean generously shares occlusal reduction tips, cracked teeth management and commonsense strategies for optimizing patient satisfaction, office efficiency and production.
