Occlusion — it’s one of the most misunderstood and often intimidating topics in dentistry. But if there’s anyone who knows how to break it down clearly and make it genuinely engaging in podcast format, it’s Dr. Jaz Gulati from The Protrusive Dental Podcast.

In this episode, Jaz explores occlusion through the lens of Pareto’s 80/20 principle — the idea that 20% of what we do leads to 80% of our results. With that perspective, Jaz shares five practical tips that can reshape the way we think about occlusion and help prevent many of the common day-to-day issues we encounter.

From Robin Hood dentistry to how to properly use a leaf gauge and what to tell your patients so they can best care for their composites — every minute of this episode is packed with gold.
