Hi, Thanks for your video. It's too bad you didn't show how you created your marginal ridge and instead jumped from 3:53 to 3:55. Do you have any videos that show this critical step? Also, is the carbide bur you're using for a high speed or slow speed drill?
Pretty sure I had this done yesterday - I cracked one of my premolars down the side and it crumbled out, so they did the filling this way. It's the first time that i'm aware they used the metal thing/fence and I'm guessing its due to where it needed to be filled. All other fillings i had were in the middle/top of the tooth. Teeth damage from night bruxism ever since I was little and I'm 31 now.
I recognize that this video is quite old but as of 2023, I suggest a selective etch protocol with deeply prepared class II's - a self-etching primer applied to the dentin will improve resin-dentin interaction and long term bonding while also substantially reduce post-op sensitivity.
My dentist left the clinic after drilling and had the dental hygienist do the filling as she went on an errand. The assistant added a ton of resin and then had to shave a lot off with an electric tool because my teeth were not resting on the opposing side. I don’t have any grooves now and I cannot chew with that side of my mouth without an intense electrical pain. It’s not sensitive to hot or cold, strictly pressure when eating. I’m worried because the dentist didn’t check her work because the dentist had left.
Doesn't the football bur damage cuspids due to how big it is and touches cuspids too much? Wouldn't the chrismas tree be more adapted for structuring occlusal surface ?
