How do you really know if that radiolucency you see is cervical burnout or is it actually caries? What are the four white lines on an OPG radiograph and why are they important? And why you should be really careful with radiographic interpretation? And it's really important to marry the clinical picture, because that's how you come up with a clinical diagnosis. [Jaz]Hello Protruserati, I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to your favorite dental podcast. This is for young dentists, students, but a lot of qualified dentists have been really enjoying this basic series, this Protrusive Student series. And so what we're going to do from the next episode is we're going to make it CE eligible. The next episode is actually on basics of extraction, but before we do that extraction, we need a radiograph. And it's a topic that you guys asked for on the YouTube comments. So there we have it. And remember, if you are a dental student, make a free Protrusive account. Go to protrusive.app and then email your username or your name on the platform to student@protrusive.co.uk.

Hope you enjoyed the main episode, I'll catch you in the outro. Main Episode:Emma Hutchison, our Protrusive Student. Welcome back to the student's edition of the podcast. I know you've got exam results coming up and you're going on your elective soon. How exciting. [Emma]Yes, very exciting. So I'm just finishing up the last bits and bobs of my elective project and then I'm going traveling for two months. So, I should also get my exam results next week sometime when I'll be away. So, hopefully everything's good. [Jaz]We're all rooting for you. We know, you know, fingers crossed you'll do well and you'll report back to us. If anyone in Asia is a dental student or a dentist, and you happen to see Emma walking in a mall, an air conditioned mall, take a selfie with her and tag us on Protrusive. Let's see if this social experiment works. Let's see how much we're spending. That'd be cool, right? [Emma]Yeah, it would have to be an air-conditioned place because I'm from Scotland, so I'm not going to do well with the heat over there at all. [Jaz]Excellent. Well,
