Posterior Guided Occlusion Part 1 with Dr Andy Toy 

Do you worship canine guidance?
I think I went through a phase where I placed a very high importance on the presence or absence of canine guidance. I then got thinking...how and why are my patients with AOBs doing just fine? Why is it that some studies suggest that only 5% of the population has canine guidance, and others suggest up to 60%? Is group function really the villain?
This is why I am open to listening to theories that explain this. Posterior Guided Occlusion is one such theory.
I am joined by Dr Andy Toy to explore PGO concepts
I wanted to delve deep in to PGO - so we split this episode in to 2 parts.
