In this episode of the All Pulp No Fiction Dental Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Celine Higton to explore her journey from architecture to dentistry, her first-ever visit to Japan, and how culture, artistry, and precision shape her approach to modern adhesive dentistry. She discusses the evolution of adhesive techniques, the critical steps that determine long-term success—especially dentine bonding and rubber dam isolation—and practical insights on shade matching, composite shrinkage, and balancing direct vs. indirect restorations. Outside the clinic, Dr. Celine shares her passion for motorbikes, the challenge of finding balance, and her advice for young dentists striving for excellence. She closes with a message to attendees of the upcoming 6th International Dental Symposium: it’s a lineup and experience not to be missed.

In this episode of the All Pulp No Fiction Dental Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Bora Korkut for a deep and energetic conversation spanning culture, dentistry, photography, and clinical philosophy. Fresh from his hands-on courses in Japan, Dr. Korkut reflects on the unique spirit of Japanese dentistry, his academic path, and why combining research with clinical practice keeps him inspired. We dive into one of his favorite topics—shade matching—as he breaks down the science behind color selection, the power of cross-polarized photography, and how modern composite materials simplify aesthetic challenges. He also discusses treatment planning mistakes, the importance of isolation, curing, materials, and instrumentation, as well as his approach to direct vs. indirect restorations, minimally invasive workflows, and pre-restorative aligner therapy. Finally, Dr. Korkut offers advice for young dentists and shares why the upcoming 6th International GC Symposium is an event no clinician should miss.
