I learnt from a senior dentist who has been practicing for 50 years. The very last layer of composite he doesn’t cure it…. First he gets the patient to bite down then he cured it while they are occluding. Then tells them to open up and fully cures it. After that no adjustments needed it works like a charm.
I use this technique for canine risers but there are a few reasons I don't use this for posterior daily restorations- you've inspired me to make a little video about this - thank you!
@@araznaser1570 haha I’ve never seen him use a dental dam but hey 50years his DA is amazing and they keep it as dry as heck. I think the outer layer doesn’t really affect it as that layer is exposed to saliva anyways once fully cured. What do you reckon?
Hello Dr Jaz the video was amazing. I have few questions 1) when doing occlusal fullings sometimes my filling got so much high than j have to spend so much time to adjust so, how to avoid it? May be the answer is measure lowest point to highest point with perio probe 2)But when cavity is already there than how can you measure it? As it happened with me recently restoring lower both 7’s my filling was too high that i spend almost half hr 3) After prep cavity i do get idea where will be central groove? Sometimes it moves away from its actual position. Si how to avoid it?
Hi Doc - nowadays with the application of PTFE tape we can achieve moisture control in areas that would have been tricky before. It depends on the reason for the poor moisture control?
@@protrusive thanks for the quick response. I will definitely look into how accessible that tape is The reason on my part is limited resources. Most of the funds in dentistry in my country go to Maxillofacial and oral surgery
Hello doc what do you think about Dentists hiring influencers for thier clinic? Is it unethical? We have so many here in the Philippines. Trying to gain patient trust using fake influencers
@@protrusivewow, in The Netherlands I only have like 20 minutes to do. Even the 4-faced restoration. It’s included the anesthetic. A DO is priced at 74€ excluding 18€ for the anesthetic. I could take 45 minutes, but earn nothing.
