The name dentist coup is fancy but it just means removing every card of exit in defender's hand. In this 4Spade contract, after a natural sequence of plays, East is stripped (as it happens) of diamond exit, He has Qx of clubs and is striped of clubs as well. He can ruff in with his master trump on round three of clubs with the same effect (having to lead into declarer's heart AQ tenace). His discard only postponed the inevitable as I threw him in with a trump.
Defence guided me like a guardian angel, first cashing the singleton Spade Ace and then covering the spade nine (I was going to run it). Apart from this soft defence, I thought the deal was cute.
