Hey from Australia, watching this brings back so many memories in the dental school!
I totally agree with you about learning the old school ways, but in the end this will make you a well diverse practitioner and appreciate what’s to come after graduating and practicing.
Glad to hear it from someone with lots of experience!
Loving how cinematic this Video was!! Keep up the good work man. Definitely a nice glimpse in the future since I'm still a D1.
Thanks man, good luck to you. It'll be here before you know it for yourself
Totally badass work, but seems so complicated.i hope I get into dental school and try this someday . Awesome video
When you take an alginate impression, take a little of the material with your glove finger and and put it on the occlusial of the teeth so you can get a good impression of all the grooves. Then place the impression material in the mouth (or duplicate the model). The alignate has to be thick enough that you can turn it upside down and not run out of the tray (for better control of the material, and you can actually get a good impression of the vestibule). In the real world, we don't use red boxing wax. We just pour the impression and have the lab do the rest. But, as a dental student, you need to know every thing that happens in the lab so you can be a better informed dentist. I have met so many new dentist who don't even have a clue of what happens in the lab. Taking impressions will make or break you as a dentist. Yes digital impressions are here, but I have seen some digital impressions taken for implant cases that were not accurate. So I am not completely convinced that digital is the only way to go. Having the skills to take an excellent impression for crown/ bridge/ implants or dentures is dependents on how good of dentist you want to be. I always stride for myself to be the "best". I take pride of my skills, and after 30 years, I have seen some of my work come back 20-30 years later, and I still admire what I did in the early years of my career. If you can take a good impression, you will get a good result back form the lab. I always talk to my lab tech, and ask if they have any problems with my impressions, and they always say, "We never have to worry about your impressions doctor. They are always so clear and easy to work on." Once you are out, you should never take short cuts, and always remember what you were taught in school...it will keep you out of trouble. Never take a short cut. Make each step the best you can make it, so it doesn't haunt you later on in a future step. If you don't think it is right, fix it and redo it. A dentist is suppose to be a perfectionist. One of my patients said to me today, "I will always go to you Dave, because your are a perfectionist." Being a perfectionist should be part of all dentist's code of ethics.....it makes me sleep good at night knowing I did the best for each of my patients at today's work at the dental office.
I am inspired by your beautiful words, David! You’re an amazing Doctor.
Agreed about how important it is to take an excellent impression. If that isn’t right, then you’re wasting everyone’s time. Yours, the patient and the lab.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
I’m a dental lab tech and we only use the boxing way if the dentist specifically asks for full borders. Otherwise we will just flip the poured impression onto a patty of slightly thicker stone then use the trimmer to clean up the edges before prepping and articulating! We also use a debubbler before pouring to get rid of bubbles on the teeth and tissue.
Also, wile 3D models are great for some things we en up making stone model dupes of most of the anyway and it’s good to know the annoying parts of lab work when you’re the one calling and advocating for your patients with the lab.
Plaster Guys is a good source for dental plaster materials.
I aspire to be as successful as you one day. Keep up the content, I will always support you in your journey.
Thank you!!
Cool videos man. I was a computer scientist major for 3 years and realized it wasn’t for me. It wouldn’t make me happy. Dentistry really interests me and your videos are helping me decide what I want to do for the rest of my life.
This is exactly what I’m going for! I’m a dental technology student so it’s cool to see what dental students do with the lab work.
You should do more of these educational videos because they are really enjoyable. I'm doing a bachelor of dental surgery so the system is a bit different to a DDS like we have 5 years of uni then 1-2 years of supervised practice but regardless your videos give me a good insight
What country is that in
@@MossadDid911 it's also the same here in Guyana 🇬🇾. Not sure about the 1- 2 yrs of supervised practice tho
Dope content love how you’ve been very consistent in your videos and haven’t given up. Keep up the good work!!
Great video! Just wanted to give you a heads up: alginate is very bad for you to breathe into your lungs so please wear a mask when mixing it :)
As a practice owner I would advise you to try and do some assisting or shadowing in a private practice ( if you are not already ). Ideally you should be exposed to digital scanning such as Trios, Cerec etc. You will always need traditional impressions and casts on the odd occasion but 3d printed models from scans are not only accurate and easily reproducible, but can be part of the patient's notes such that you can monitor wear, tooth movement, gingival recession etc. Prospective employers will love if you have had experience in this area. Keep up the posts, I wish my dental school experience was as positive as yours seems to be. All the best for this semester.
His videos keep getting better every time , edits and quality. Keep it up
dentist should always know how to take impression that's dental practice 101, I've been a lab tech over 17 yrs and its very annoying when dentist don't know how or what a good impression is suppose to look like, trust your lab guy but also know what your doing your a dentist for gods sake
Mix your alginate faster, and use fast set versions always. Get used to fast set, it makes the day go better for you and your patients.
Hope you will one day have your own dental practice! I wish you the best of the best. Keep it up one day all those late night and those early mornings will be worth it!
Thank you! I can't wait for that day
You guys have it easy... our alginate is pink and its fast setting, so within 1 minute of you mixing it up by the time you put it in the patients mouth or a duplicate cast it would be like 30% set already. Our teachers wanted us to learn the hardships first rather then the progress of getting difficult each time, no nope nope just throw it in there let them figure it out hardest difficulty level, even chuck norris would have trouble getting a proper impression
smear a thin layer of vaseline on that bad boy. Also can smear vasiline allover a temp, to make cleaning up the cement easy
Keep going good job 👏👏
Keep it up👍👍
Im also dental technician👍👍
Gotta say , you're pretty good with a camera.
Nice af editing bro
You can use vaseline as a separating medium on casts.
Hey where did you get the kit you had in the lab. Interested in seeing what you have in there. Btw Awesome video! Have no idea where you get the time.
Hey Trevor! My name is Maya. I applied to college recently. I hope one day to go to dental school. But I’ve been having difficulty figuring out a major to best suit pre dental reqs and a major that acts as a back up just Incase I don’t get in to dental school. Any advice?
~ I’ve been watching your videos for a while now :) thank you for your wonderful content. You are so driven and I can’t tell you enough how inspiring you are.
At my school, human bio covers all of the dental school pre-reqs if you do not want to have to take extra credits! Thats what I did and I'm also able to complete a minor within my 120 credits to graduate. I'll be applying for dental school this summer (:
Haley Schultz ohh I’ll definitely look into that! Thank you so much Haley & Best of luck ❤️
@@thepapaya480 I'm currently applying to dental school. My advice is to take what you enjoy, because your GPA matters more than your major. I currently have a 3.75 in a Biology major, which is nice as it covers most of the pre-reqs. However, I know people who hate biology that took the major for the sake of covering the pre-reqs and didn't do so hot. So now they're at a disadvantage due to the heavy weight that a GPA carries. One of my closest friend just got into a dental school and he's a philosophy major. It may add extra work, but if you enjoy it, you'll find yourself putting in the extra effort. Just my two cents :)
SuperKaboby Thanks so much :) I’ll take that into consideration for sure! Best wishes with application process!
Thanks so much!! I'll echo what Superkaboby said too. I think picking a major that you enjoy will help you excel in those classes and keep your GPA high because you actually enjoy the material you are learning. That's why I chose exercise science. I love sports and anatomy ha. The other replies aren't wrong either! Lots of bio and chemistry majors have almost all of the dental pre reqs built in which makes it really convenient. Good luck!
I think the most frustrating thing is broking when you re trimming at the end. Believe me I cracked it somehow and its really annoying :)
No air bubbles is easy to achieve and boxing is a waist of time, trust your lab guy!
Do you know how it would work if I were to graduate from dental school in Brazil but want to practice in America.
do you live alone or have roommates? which one do you think is better for dental school? Thanks
I notice you list DDS after your name but listening to your presentation your are in school with the goal to become a dentist. Are dental students dentist using the title DDS?
Didn’t realize he was at Ohio State. Go Buckeyes!!
In USA Chicago do u suggest me I want to learn dental lab so which course or certification plan or school good for me or If any one know some lab tech u
Hey Trevor how many hours of volunteering did you have and what extracurriculars did you do?
The more the better but around 100 I'd say
hunderdsofthousands of dollars... that's the world we live in ... No. the problem is you think "THE WORLD" is just America.. in europe dental school is like 4 maybe 5k ?
Trevor how do you get rid of bubbles man? I did it so many times, I get bubbles 😪😪😪😪
Rouzbeh Ostadsharif Memar try to pour up very slow. Do the corners first and take your time. Add a little extra debubblizer too!!
Have you considered applying petroleum jelly to the original cast to avoid the alginate from sticking in the model?
Yeap! That is another way to do it. We even have a few cans of PAM cooking spray in the lab to do the same thing 😂😂
@@trevorwestdds5505😅😅 as long as it work! I am from ohio, OSU is where I am hoping to get in. I am still have a year before I can apply
