    Very useful presentation for clinical practitioners. Thank you for your efforts in sharing the applied aspects of clinical dentistry.
    Sir, plz share video regarding the technique of placement of each type of post i.e metal post and fibre post with a note on the materials required for luting those posts.
    Sir, I am a great fan of your method of teaching. To be honest, I have learned more about applied clinical dentistry from your videos than from my dental college..May God bless you !!

    Thanks. Whats your views on types of crowns PBM vs PFM vs high nobel vs emax vs bruzir?

    • @smartdentistry
      @smartdentistry  Месяц назад +1

      Anterior single crown - discolored tooth - zirconia
      Anterior single crown - No discoloration - E Max
      Anterior FPD - Up to 3 units - zirconia
      Anterior with multiple missing teeth - Metal ceramic
      Posterior - single unit - Monolith/ zirconia/metal crown (depending on esthetic requirements)
      Posterior up to three units - monolith or zirconia (Esthetically sensitive patient) Metal ceramic/full metal - depending on patient choice
      Posterior with multiple teeth missing - Metal ceramic/full metal
      Let me know your opinion too
      Thank you

    • @DrGreenfun
      @DrGreenfun Месяц назад

      @smartdentistry I feel like emax doesn't last as long. I do cerec crowns I am a fan of full cast gold crowns. Layered zirconia always flakes off and emax on anteriors do looks nice but bruxzir has come a long way.

    How many post for 3 canal molar and two canal premolars sir

    • @smartdentistry

      That depends on the amount of tooth structure remaining above the cervical margins and the walls missing. If one wall is missing then it is ideal to replace with one post corresponding to the wall missing. If total tooth structure is lost, then more than one post is needed. In a three canal molar two post may be needed at the maximum. I will make a detailed video in this topic soon. Thank tou

      Yeah. Even I was told so. But after using it my practice and seeing its success compared to fiber posts. I just simply started using it. Metal posts are more affordable, easy to place and much more efficient compared to fiber posts. Try using metal posts in posterior teeth. You will start loving it.
