Thank you Dr. Stevenson. I'm an assistant hoping to apply to dental school soon and I find your videos very helpful in building my dental vocabulary and procedural knowledge.
Thank you alot for the videos .. it's so useful I wish to work with indirect vision like you .. I am hitting the neighboring and always feel that I have no control with the handpiece in the upper teeth .. for the lower teeth everything is so simple and easy for me
Dr. Stevenson - thank you for the wonderful videos! I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your channel and have learned so much. Could you please share a little more information regarding the provisionalization technique? What is the stopping material and what is its function? What type of material is dura seal? Thank you!
The dental stopping simply protects the tissue in the box area and the duraseal is a PMMA with plasticizers and is mixed liquid powder style and flowed into the prep. That's it. The duraseal technique does not use cement, more is the patient able to floss, but the tissue does remarkably well.
Hi - for sure. The dental stopping is a fully biocompatible material that protects the tissue from the irritating effects of the DuraSeal which is a PMMA with plasticizers.
Thanks, I use double-packed Alum-impregnated braided cords, NEVER knitted, which are essentially useless, however, popular because they are easy to place. The braided cords expand and increase the sulcus dimensions and when soaked in aluminum chloride 25% they stopped most bleeding. In tough cases, I'll pack an additional cotton pellet on the cords for pressure hemostasis. I NEVER use Ferric Chloride or Sulfate because they create so much coagulated blood which contaminates the prep for traditional impressions. Under the 40x microscope we can see the litter and debris left behind by these popular medicaments - but they are a detriment to excellence, that is clear.
Oh - just that I place the cords with the rubber dam still on, and that I pack inwards towards the 3D center of the tooth when packing. I like thin packers with a serrated tip.
Sure - but you'll need to remove it, trim it and cement it, which may not give you much benefit...The DS technique works amazingly well - keeps the tooth in an ideal and stable position and the removal is easy and leaves no residue to clean up. For a quadrant of onlays, especially those without much resistance form, I use Bis-Acryl and cement with duralon. T

Keep at it - After much practice, I actually find the maxillary indirect to be easier than the mandibular direct! Strange, but true.

How do you remove the gingival stopping material after flowing the temporary material into the preparation.

Dr. Stevenson, thank you for the video. I have a question, how do you control the bleeding so well?

They are not made anymore - but the paper free MonoTrac is great.
@@StevensonDentalSolutions thank you
Great videos Doc. What were you going to say about the cord packer?
Oh - just that I place the cords with the rubber dam still on, and that I pack inwards towards the 3D center of the tooth when packing. I like thin packers with a serrated tip.
Could you use bisacryl temp material too?

Hey Doc, make sure she gives you those sunglasses before she leaves and PAYS.
OOps - forgot that!
