Next Dental Ep 4: Prof Paul Tipton Unpacks Occlusion Trade-Offs

DUBAI, UAE—17 June 2025 — Next Dental, the fast-rising podcast for forward-thinking clinicians, today released Episode 4: “Paul Tipton: Occlusion in the Digital Age.” Host Dr. Khalil Karam sits down with renowned UK prosthodontist Prof Paul Tipton—Founder of Tipton Training and President of the British Academy of Restorative Dentistry (BARD)—to ask a disarmingly simple question:

“You can’t have limitless longevity, perfect aesthetics and zero tooth reduction in the same restoration—so which corner will you cut?”

Over 40 years in practice, Tipton has mentored more than 5,000 dentists across Europe and the Middle East. In this episode he argues that skipping occlusion fundamentals—not material choice—lies at the root of most failures, even in fully digital workflows.

Key Talking Points

The “holy trinity” dilemma — why every case balances longevity, beauty and minimal invasion, and how to help patients choose wisely
Gold vs. zirconia vs. composite — lifespan math most dentists never show their patients
Stress-driven bruxism — occlusal disease now out-numbers caries and perio; what that means for treatment planning
Digital face-bows & AI bite mapping — when to trust the software and when hybrid analog steps still win
Three pillars of success — knowledge, hands-on skill, and business communication—Tipton’s formula for new-generation clinicians

“Dentistry has become throw-away because society is throw-away,” Tipton tells Karam. “But your patients’ teeth aren’t socks—you can’t buy a new set on Amazon.”
