Hi! First comment! Hahaha just letting u know that I appreciate what you're doing, sharing these vids & stuff...I just discovered this channel, but it seems you've got a big(?) history on YT
Gold has indeed stood the test of time and remains the standard by which all materials are compared. Although it can't be truly bonded to the tooth, preparation designs may be used to augment resistance form with gold which both supports tooth structure and preserve it as well.
I am missing numbers 29, 30 & 31 molars, 32 will is slightly tilted. I am having three dental implants, can a gold onlay help straighten # 32 by shaving two or more cusp instead of placing a whole crown over # 32?
Not with the Tucker technique - the hollow grind provides adequate bulk for this area. Shillingburg even discusses this hollow grind as an option in his text. Thank you Doc!
Too few I'm afraid, and very few know even how to do it!...check out the Academy of Richard V Tucker Study Clubs, www.arvtsc.org - patients often travel great distances to have it done well -it may be esthetically performed and may last a lifetime. I mentor a cast gold study club in Los Angeles with 12 members and a wait list for joining...Thank you for the question nonetheless.
These videos are super detailed and extremely interesting. You do a great job explaining everything. Thank you so much for this content.
My pleasure!

Thanks Doc - just been serious abs YT for 9 months - thank you for watching!
Is gold still better than porcelain/zirconia? Which requires the least preparation? Does gold support the tooth structure?

Can we give skirt or collar along with slot? If we can than in what condition?

Usually, yes
Should we place shoulder margin on the functional cusp (like in shillingberg)? Thx!nice video

Then there will be only a very thin layer of gold at the bevelled plane?
Thin at the margin like a shoulder bevel but thick as we move inward, 1.5 mm where the forces are the greatest
Who is doing gold anymore?.
