Thank you very much Dr. Stevenson. I am in first year of dentistry now and your video taught me a lot. The picture was always sharp, the pacing was just right and the part where you drew on iPad was very good for understanding. Good job. I missed the preparation of the S curves though, I would like to see that as well.

Thank you Dr Steven! Brilliant work, I am a fan. Please if you can also make video for amalgam cusp built up with MOD. That would be so helpful for the exams I am undertaking. Regards.
Thanks so much Dr Stevenson for this amazing demo of Class 2 amalgam prep, which is a nightmare for many dental students including me. I have one question though, I have been preparing MOD prep and noticed that distobuccal cusp is getting very small after the final preparation coz of extension of proximal box buccally to get enough clearence. I was just wondering is this acceptable or is there any method for distobuccal cusp preservation in order to prevent over reduction of that particular cusp? I hope you got my query, thanks for reading and I will be waiting for your response. Thanks and Regards.
Hi Dr. Stevenson, i am currently in the process of getting my Australian dental registration and i am a big fan of your work...the detail and finishing are amazing to say the least. I was wondering of you could make a video about complex amalgam restorations and cuspal build up. There are a few videos around, but o am sure they wont compare to the artistry you command. Thank you
Okay - will do - would you like an MOD with a MB cusp replacement on a maxillary molar, or an MODL with a DL cusp replacement on a mandibular molar, or something even larger? Two cusps, three cusps?
@@StevensonDentalSolutions Thank you for the reply..i am so tempted to say both...hahafa..but amy one you do will be a great learnin learning experience for is all...wish we had you at my dental school.
@@StevensonDentalSolutions Thank you sir..yes i already got a notification...really excited. Watched part 1 yesterday, amazing as usual. Thank you soo much. Please keep up the great work you doing..!!
@@StevensonDentalSolutions I was always reminded that I woundn't be understood if I used the term "s curve" which is a unique term in my school. It seems other clinicians also use that unique term.
Hey Dr. Stevenson, I love your videos and was wondering, as a fellow microscope user, if you would do some instructional microscope videos? Thank you for sharing your great technique!
Great videos as usual. I see you have alot of requests, my wishlist contains a porcelain veneer prep because there are different variations in the literature. Really appreciate it. Thank you so much
This video is so helpful! Thank you for sharing. Do you have any suggestions for other burs we could use to create the S curves if we do not have a 330RGS?
Thanks doc this is a super helpful video! I’m just starting preps in school but we were never fully taught what exactly is a box, and what “dropping the box” means, would you be able to explain?
Yes, dropping the box means to remove the proximal tooth structure from the occlusal aspect, moving gingivally, hence "dropping" the box. Actually a better way of saying this would be to create the proximal box...
I love your work doctor I student from iraq and always follow your videos thank to your effort.i hope if you slow from your speech please 😅you very speed sorry to more my speech
Pleasee make the indonesian subtitle DR. Stevenson. I am your fan from indonesia. I enjoy your video but i don't really understand what do you say. You make the greatest video of dentistry while i watched.
Hi Doc, your content is saving my life in dental school. Thank you for putting out amazing content. A quick question. I recently started practicing for Class II Amalgam #30 MO and I've been having trouble gaining a proper vision on the mesial and gingival floor when I'm dropping the proximal box. I'm used to operating at 7 or 8'o cock position when I work on #30, but I was just curious what would be an ideal chair position when dropping the box for class II #30 MO. Same question with a #19 MO as well. Thank you.
Class II boxes on mandibular teeth are always more challenging than maxillary teeth. 7-8 O'clock is good for bur orientation, line of draw, mesial distal tipping, buccal lingual tipping but poor for visualizing the boxes. Try the 12 O'clock position for direct vision - it works most of the time, and have the patient lean towards you. Ultimately, the mandibular class II box approach will be a combination of different chair positions and the concept (albeit uncomfortable at first) of "cut a little, look a little", repeated numerous times. As you gain a subconscious awareness of your bur in 3D space through much practice (will take 100s of preps), and remembering the importance of bur orientation and finger rest, you can do less looking and more "blind" cutting. Some things in dentistry are very easy and some things are very hard - it's just the way it is...so, when you encounter a difficult prep, say to yourself, "okay, this is tough, it will take longer, be patient..." Best to you!
@@StevensonDentalSolutions Hello Doc, thank you so much for your thoroughly reply. Thanks to your advice, I've been trying different operating positions for dropping the proximal box on #30. A quick follow up question though. When I'm dropping the proximal box at a 12'o clock position, I noticed that I've been having lots of trouble with seeing the depth of cut I'm backing since it's a bird-eye view. In another words, it's hard to see how deep I'm going in with a bur. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong here, or if it just takes practice. I would appreciate your words of wisdom once again! Thank you.
thanks .. very helpful. I might have missed a thing or two on retention. You didnt stress much on importance of making retentions on the preparations. How useful ( or not ) would you say they are?
As long as the major retention aspects are present: occlusal convergence, proximal convergence and occlusal locks, most amalgam restorations have ample retention. If the size of the box is large, additional retention may help via the use of axioproximal grooves.
Hello Dr, I appreciate your videos. I am curious, how wide is that gingival floor of the box mesial distally? My school requires it to be 1.25 mm but I always find mine is more like 1.5 by the time I get the 245 in there. Thank you!
1.25 mm. Use the 245 closer to the adjacent tooth and be mindful of its position at all times. You'll get there! Use the secondary cutting edge of a sharp enamel hatchet when finishing the axial wall to control the axial depth.
Use the 169L or 55/56 to create most of the refinement - you'll need the chisel to refine the Axiobuccal and axiolingual line angles and the point angles at the gingival...
I love your videos. I have a question. What would you do if you need prep Amalgam on the same tooth but it’s DO instead? I have a Columbia typodon as well but the distal cusp is really small. I think if I do mine S shape. I will take most of the distal buccal cusp away. How would you do this type of prep? Is there any restrictions for this type of prep where you don’t follow the rules...!? Thank you so much in advance for your help
Forget the DB groove at first - simply prepare the class 2. Then assess the DB groove - if it is more than 0.5 mm away from the buccal proximal wall, leave it, and you're done. If, however, the groove is closer than 0.5 mm from your buccal proximal wall you have two choices: 1. Simply widen your box buccal to include it, or 2. Cap what remains of the Distal cusp FLAT to the pulpal but don't touch the proximal box from the gingival to the pulpal - it's like a mini-cusp capping procedure.
Stevenson Dental Solutions. Thank you so much for responding so fast. I really appreciate it. I ordered some of the burs that you were suggesting and an instrument as well. If at one point you make a video of this type of prep. I’ll be paying attention to it. Thx a lot for all your help
Thank you for this amazing video. Can you please show us HOW TO POLISH AND FINISH A BEUTIFUL COMPOSITE RESTORATION with a video full of tips. And i really want to see the COMPOSITE VENEER RESTORATION video from you.
Any tips on how to avoid trauma to the gingiva using the hatchet? Mine keeps slipping and I'm practicing on a model but it would hurt if it was a real patient
Keep a stable finger rest and make sure that the hatchet is very sharp. We recommend sharpening them after each prep. Also, take very small "bites" with the hatchet...less force and easier to control. And finally, remember that we define with the bur (95% of the prep) and refine with the hand instruments (only 5% of the prep). Best to you and Happy New Year, Dr. S
Thank you so much for this wonderful video Dr Stevenson. I have a question and concern about using the enamel hatchet. So, when we chip the little bird peak according to your description, down to the gingival wall, wouldn’t that create a sharp angle between the gingival and the axial, buccal or lingual wall of the box? And how to avoid this? Thank you
Hi Doc - not really - creating a sharp line angle takes effort and requires forming it by sliding the hatchet into the proximogingival area across the gingival as well - simply removing the lip isn't enough, therefore it won't be an issue. The rounded line angle created by the 245 and refined by the 330RGS will remain as is, but if it seems too sharp, it's easy to correct with the bur.
Both 7 and 11-12. 7 is great for aligning the bur and starting the occlusal. 11-12 is good for visualizing the box and occlusal. 9 may be used with direct vision at any time...check out: ruclips.net/video/GxWqppkToAg/видео.html

Hi Doc - not really - creating a sharp line angle takes effort and requires forming it by sliding the hatchet into the proximogingival area across the gingival as well - simply removing the lip isn't enough, therefore it won't be an issue. The rounded line angle created by the 245 and refined by the 330RGS will remain as is, but if it seems too sharp, it's easy to correct with the bur.
