Still using a MATRIX BAND for composites?
Composite restorations are challenging, and there are many different matrix systems out there. I have tried a lot of them. My favorite so far is from a company called Greater Curve; they make a tofflemire band that is specifically for composites. Check out the video for some examples of the Greater Curve technique and why I like it so much.

LumaDent Ergoprism Review - Best Loupes for Ergonomics?
Просмотров 14 тыс.3 года назад
Lumadent's Ergoprism is a great set of loupes, and after spending some time with them, I have some specific thoughts. These frames are INCREDIBLE and the optics are precise and clear. However, depending on your own workflow, there may be a learning curve with these deflection loupes, especially if you have some bad habits. I think these loupes are the real deal, and LumaDent knocked it out of t...
Potentially BIG News for Student Loan Forgiveness
Просмотров 4,7 тыс.3 года назад
As of early March 2021, student loan forgiveness will NOT be taxed as income. This could be incredible news for anyone using an income-based loan repayment plan (like IBR, PAYE or REPAYE) for a large student loan (doctors, dentists, optometrists, chiropractors, audiologists, pharmacists, etc.). Currently, the provision for tax-free loan forgiveness is set to expire at the end of 2025, but there...

Are Amalgam Fillings Safe? New FDA Recommendations for Mercury Amalgam Restorations
Просмотров 27 тыс.4 года назад
The FDA recently announced some new recommendations for dental amalgams, and naturally several news stories followed.

Shade Matching Teeth with Vita Classical
Просмотров 27 тыс.4 года назад
Here is an amazingly helpful tip I learned from a prosthodontist my 4th year of dental school. Basically, the idea is to arrange the Vita Classical shade guide by value, rather than the way most dentists use it. Our eyes are more sensitive to value, and the "value first" principal is actually incorporated into shade guides like the Vita 3D Master. But even arranging the Vita Classical by value ...

CEREC vs Dental Lab Crowns: Is Chairside Milling Worth It?
Просмотров 53 тыс.4 года назад
CAD CAM is a really cool technology, and a lot of dentists love doing chair-side milling. I actually had a CEREC, but sold it a couple of years ago. I have seen some great in-office crowns, and some...let's say...not so great work that was done in-office. If you know what you are doing, CAD CAM can give you some great results and really wow your patients if you are able to integrate it into you...

The Atlantic recently published an article claiming that "Americans are Spending Billions on Unnecessary Dental Treatment", and saying that orthodontic treatment is primarily cosmetic, and has almost no influence on dental health.

Best Loupes for Dental School and Clinical Practice
Просмотров 77 тыс.4 года назад
The best loupes for dental school and clinical practice. The first pair of loupes I bought was a 2.5x from designs for vision. I still used those loupes today on a regular basis for things like exams, denature adjustments and orthodontics. They are lightweight and comfortable. Now I use 4.5x loupes any time that I can for routine restorative and crown and bridge (as well as endo). The 4.5x magn...

Choosing the right CE can be hard as a new dentist, and there are a ton of different options. Sometimes the best place to start is to ask yourself what topics you are interested and why.

In my opinion, another great place to start is a comprehensive course, li...
3 Things They Do NOT Teach in Dental School - But They Should

Dental school taught me lot, but there was so much that I had to learn the hard way. The first big thing I needed to learn was how to give painless injections.

Being able to talk to patients and make them...

Dental School Graduates - How to Manage the Job Market in 2020
The real value of the mill is when you have an absolute need to get those cases done ASAP. For instance, the military has people coming in with teeth that are broken and they need to make them deployable, like, yesterday. So there is a really good reason that all military dental clinics in the USA are setup with CAD/CAM capabilities. For the rest of us, a digital scanner is amazing, but most of our patients can wait to get their permanent crown.
Got aaallll Amalgam removed today for composite 🎉🎉🎉
This did not age well at all :)
Do they have any sort of paint !?
“FDA” I’m certain told people smoking is good at one time….
BDS student here. Love how honest you are. Subscribed❤❤
a bit from here , a bit from there thats why we die and dont feel well.
If you avoid bonding because it’s too much hassle, then you are a poor dental surgeon with limited skill
Short answer...hell no!..but, don't be fooled into thinking the new white replacement is any safer ...it isn't. It contains bisphol A, and two radioactive elements..strontium and the other I can't recall at the moment.
as a dental patient I’d say a small town because you can have your schedule easily organized and also plan your day accordingly and also appointments don’t have to be as rushed because I’m from Canada and from a big city and I’ve noticed it’s less stress and easy in a small town then it is in a city because there is a new oral health clinic at my college here in Canada and now I know why many patients don’t go there to get dental care because all they care about is money and rushing to treat their patients when they should take more time with their patients and take their time doing dental treatments and then maybe patients would want to come back to the oral health clinic but because they never care or take their time this is how they tend to lose past patients or former patients 🇨🇦 and I’d like for my dentist,orthodontist and oral surgeon take more time talking to me during my appointments because I love dentistry a lot and also I love my visits with my orthodontist Dr. Drew Smith of Smith Orthodontics here in Canada 🇨🇦 and also actually I had a dream that he had his new office because back in 2010 he had a small office close by my oral surgeons office but then he moved across town back in 2017 and his new office is nice and also they knocked down all the walls because it allows for better communication because at the other office it was all walls but still nice too but I had a dream of my orthodontist living in a small town and he wasn’t so rushed during my appointments and he could easily make his own schedule and also plan his day accordingly but I think when he’s in my city of London, Ontario he’s more rushed for some reason but I have another in-person orthodontist appointment coming up in December on Saturday, December 7th at 11:30 A.M. Canada 🇨🇦 time I’m so excited because I love orthodontist appointments even though too bad we are in a big city because I’ve noticed 2 things about the reality of dentistry : Mental health and also losing good patients due to cost and or bad choices it’s really sad but I’m glad that I always am supportive of all the social media dentists and also my own dentists here in Canada 🇨🇦 that they should if you have a hard time opening up to former patients about why they don’t trust and or are open to continuing dental treatment or ongoing treatment then just write them off and find patients who are loyal to your office like me because I’m my orthodontists favourite patient and I’m also his office ambassador and also both of my moms cousins work in Dentistry. hello 👋 from Canada 🇨🇦 🤗🩷🦷🦷🪥 @Beyond Dentistry
If there is tmj and if the individual gets bi weekly mouth sores that cause regular risk of infection, the person can get braces covered as medically necessary right? The person would just inform the dentist and get it covered?
What if color is not a good match before bonding? Will dentist send it back to lab for redo?
Generally, if you need to change the shade of a porcelain restoration, you would have to send it back to the lab. A lot of good lab technicians will actually see the patient at the lab for a custom shade match. Usually, that is not necessary, but for something difficuly like matching a single front tooth, it can make a huge difference
In my country(Norway) university is free. Dentists make $150k roughly. But I am 32 and just finished a bachelor in robotics and AI. I can't get a job (my grades are average and I have zero experience). And an average it-guy only makes $50-80k here. Should I become a dentist? My long term goal would be to only work 1-2 days a week while I spend the rest of the time starting companies (until one succeeds). I just love the idea of being so flexible with work times and never having to worry about job hunting/ CVs etc.
Personal preference. It is a service you offer and the community loves it. Adjusting eMax is tricky, but with minimal adjustments, I have done thousands that have been in service 15+ years. Additionally, cosmetic cases go to a my lab for top-notch results. I am on my 3rd Cerec.
As of 2025 amalgam is banned in the Eu
Just a decade ago mercury fillings were placed right and left, saying stuff like “insurance only covers mercury fillings, you have to pay out of pocket for porcelain”
I feel like CEREC just scares lab techs out of a job
I hate my cerec crown 😢
Hello sir iam a ENT surgeon i do ear repairs and septoplasty basically 1-3cm space. Can u suggest me which 2.5x or 3.5x loupe.
If you have any mentors, you could definitely get some advice from them. I would say when in doubt, go with the higher magnification. 3.5x is definitely not too much magnification!
There is no safe level of mercury to have leaking into your body from your teeth everyday. Mercury in any form is toxic to the brain and nervous system.
Are these Colgate Oral Health Network CE points any good to put on resume for a foreign trained dentist looking for admission in US/ Canada?
Cant we use any liquid other than Hg.as dentist i prefer amalgam ❤🎉😊LCC isnt that good if islotion not proper.
Start with warmed 4% Citanest Plain with short 30 gauge needle and then follow-up with lido/articaine. Painless anesthesia. Warming the citanest plain and 30 gauge makes a huge difference.
Can i ask if you can take military dentist in the US while being in a different country?? I heard you can take that and the military will pay for your tuition or atleast some of it in exchange for your service after graduation. Can you take that in the US while being in a different country? Please answer,,,
There are definitely military scholarships but they are pretty competitive. You have to get into the US dental school first, then you would apply to the branch of the military you want to serve with. Good luck!
Four years later, I hope you still like the lab work. Please consider paying your lab upwards of $180 for full contour. Small labs are going out of business so fast because too many dentists don't appreciate good lab work. Plus, there are too many dentists that are making labs race to the bottom, because of greed. Dentists should care about their local small labs and send their scans for cheap work to any offshore lab. Why play the middle? Thank you
Thank you for the simplified explanation!! It helped clear up a lot of things! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Any update on your opinions here 4 years later?
If you are not using a sectional matrix then you are not doing the best you can for the patients. You are making it easier for you maybe.
woud you put it in your mouth?
I have adhd along with several other mental health issues I’m 24 and I haven’t gone to the dentist since I was 16 and I know I need a few root canal’s done and likely a fair few fillings. My experiences with dentists in the past doing, honestly really really shitty composite fillings on me and all of my older siblings having either gold or silver amalgam fillings, having mine fall out even with extensive care and cleaning done just because the dentist didn’t do it right, and watching them do and eat basically the same things I do- taking care of their teeth like I do and they’ve had amalgam fillings for 30+ years for the oldest. Absolutely no problems and I will be leaving the dentist without payment if they think they’re gonna go against my wishes and do another composite filling. I’m done with them. Give me the metal. So as a dentist you also need to understand that if the patient WANTS it, you need to listen
“You can get a great composite restoration that will last” not longer than 10 years. Most not even 5
Why do I still feel like there’s a hole in my teeth after the composite?
Have you ever met a dental specialist who decided to switch to general dentistry?
I agree. 2.5 magnification is great for dental school. Take care of your eyes. I switch to a bigger magnification after graduating from dental school and now I have to wear glasses for reading. My eyes aged super fast thanks to the loupes. People who always have had glasses probably don't suffer as much as they are used to going to the eye doctor every year. But if you have a wonderful 20/20 and suddenly lose it, well.... it's a bummer.
you can mill gold

Any reviews on loupes with polarized light for viewing veins?
EVERYTHING is safe according to the FDA. lol. Vitamin D3 has been a registered rodenticide since the 1980s and yet they tell people that it's safe even though the manufacturer says that it causes liver and kidney damage with prolonged use.
Public health dentistry.
I worked in rural Oklahoma and my boss averaged 40k daily production with tons of FMR and implants
This video is the exact reason why opinions to be looked upto should come from practitioners more than 20 - 25 years of experience preferably while being on a specialist register Ability of the operator to do any any procedure would be among the last criterias to be instrumental in determination of guidelines for the indication of a procedure Mean life of composites around 6.7 yrs while that of amalgam 11.6 years. 5 yrs they may look the same(tho i rea lly doubt this when class 2 fillings are taken into consideration) Its more technically demanding to do a good Class 2 amalgam
Why is starting salary so low?
It’s probably higher now (due to inflation), 130-150k (usd) is probably a little more accurate
I am C1 and getting a three part bridge on one pre molar and two molars. He said if I’m whitening I should do it beforehand but that would mean I’d need to whiten forever . I wanted to get my natural of C1 and have the premolar B1 so if I decide to whiten later it would be ok. When I was looking at them they looked so similar!! Is it a big jump? You can see my premolar when I smile prominently. If B1 is not an option what is the next lighter option if the rest of my natural teeth are C1? I don’t want to have yellow teeth when I’m older but I don’t want a drastic difference between the premolar and my front teeth. I’m plagued with this decision. I was hoping I could get a lighter shade that would be a subtle difference from the rest and when looking at the color chart they all look similar so I’m confused
C1 isn’t really too dark, and as you go toward the back teeth tend to darken a little bit (a slightly dark molar will look a lot better than a slightly light molar). I’m sure you will be fine either way..but definitely let your dentist know if you have concerns on the shade!
How C1 is #6 and behind B, A and D2, is perplexing to me! C1 is clearly on par with A1. I do Not understand this??
Thanks! I'm looking into these loupes for working with electronics. One observation: I think that what you call "field of view" is the "pupil apperture" or "pupil diameter". A lens with a bigger diamater doesn't require you to look at the center of the lens but you can actually let the glasses move around and you can see the image effortlessly.
Hey what would you say a general dentist takes home with one practice compared to orthodontist with a practice?
Cerec . I’ve had about 15 of them. Done here in Spain by a German dentist. He’s the only one around where I live who has the machine. I asked him why. He says .having the machine. thing. But knowing how to use it is another. He’s in his late 50s. He’s actually taught classes on using the machine at universities. I think it has something to do with experience more than just owning the machine.
You need to Create Inlays and onlays in ceramic materials to avoid all toxic composites that are not safe. You cement the constructions with Inert cement. You know which composite is safe. But I know eternal solutions only. Dental Technology should be there and help.
If you have even one , and leave it. Your stupid.
This should be considered a crime, we have been lied to thinking this was normal, what kind of a medical system is this that allows this only to have us going to doctors and wondering why we go through what we go through.
