I ordered the cement zinc phosphate to refill the crown that popped off last week..... I have to first scrap out the hardened old cement inside the crown...took a long time to chisel it out... I need to find a glass slab or a glass plate.....to mix the solution .....I hope it all goes smoothly for me after watching the dentist at work... I wish I could visit my dentist.....but can not ....and can't afford waiting and waiting....so am going to attempt being my own dentist .... Good luck to all Be safe Stay strong
Depends on how early in the curriculum they are here. If mixing this cement is one of the first things they learn when starting classes, they might not yet have enough experience to know the answers to her questions about the cement.
I got a root canal but my insurance didn't cover my crowns which were $3000 here in California. I was left with the cement in my tooth 🦷 but it is started to ware out so i was quoted $300 just to add more cement into my tooth. I found the cement on Amazon for $30 so i can do it myself 😂 now im going to Mexico for my crowns. USA is expensive
Good video, but I have one question...where are you examination gloves? I'm in Canada and I understand the differences but infection control should be number one!
Around 5-8 minutes from the time it gets to the luting consistency to when it sets up. The setup timing depends on how thin the mix and how well the slab hinders the exothermic reaction. This is why that as soon as the cement is mixed and ready, it needs to be filled and handed to the doctor for placement. A dental tech should coordinate mix timing with the doctor to be sure the doctor is available at the time the mix becomes ready. The instructor should have mentioned setting times so that students don't learn hard office lessons and have to start a new mix because the doctor got involved in a separate long activity, thus wasting cement materials and wasting time with extra cleanup work.
Keep in mind that that's a school facility. For learning purposes, tap water is apparently fine for student cleanup and chilling purposes since the glue is not going into someone's mouth. You also wouldn't hand the glass around for everyone to touch. She mentions using alcohol and gauze for cleanup, which would likely be the more hygienic approach to cleaning that slab, but she also said that it's not as easy. She also mentioned that at a chair setting she would wear a mask, gloves and eye protection when mixing in a doctor's office... which she did not do here. She wasn't very clear on the hygiene point for cleaning the mixing slab when at a doctor's office. Her cleaning advice was, at least that I could tell, intended for easier student cleanup for test mixing. Though, she should have made the point that tap water cleanup is not how a doctor's office setting might work. Students who become employed at a doctor's office would need follow the doctor's required methods for cleanup anyway, not random student cleanup methods learned in a classroom setting.
Actually, one of them did. One student said, "Luting" as soon as she prompted the students. It's that they all talked at once and she didn't hear that student's answer. For whatever reason, that student didn't repeat, probably thinking they got the answer wrong.
Teacher = Excellent Stundents = Dumb (they don't even remember the theory or what?, whatever she asked the students, even a non dental person can answer those questions)
Loved how the teacher questioned the students and is very knowledgeable about the zinc phosphate cement.
Such a nice and good teacher! Thank you ma'am~
This was great! Excellent teacher, thanks so much for posting. God Bless, Jul
Love the teacher. Great job!
What a brilliant teacher.
Perfect presentation
That was hella amazing
I wish they taught like that in our labs.
Thank you ❤️
Thank you. Very informative. I needed to learn how to prepare the dental cement correctly.
Thanks 😊👍,
I needed to hear this before I go to the lab
Thank you for sharing, it was very thorough from start to finish.
Wow, this was extreamly imformative and helpful ! thank you
Good explanation. I purchased from Walmart without a mixing tool.

.I love your prof she is very funny from Aleppo university❤
Kya ye perpanant filling???
Nice
The teacher was excellent, but the students were completely clueless.

When does it harden completely in mouth ?
In 5-9 mins

Do it. I did
Can you snort it for a broken nose
Good video, but I have one question...where are you examination gloves?

She said at the begining that if she was doing this on a patient she would be wearing a mask and gloves
How long do we have til it dries

NO GLOVES???
I'm horrified that tap water would be permitted to contaminate that mixing slab.
Keep in mind that that's a school facility. For learning purposes, tap water is apparently fine for student cleanup and chilling purposes since the glue is not going into someone's mouth. You also wouldn't hand the glass around for everyone to touch.

Students didn't know anything... Lol
Actually, one of them did. One student said, "Luting" as soon as she prompted the students. It's that they all talked at once and she didn't hear that student's answer. For whatever reason, that student didn't repeat, probably thinking they got the answer wrong.
That's why they are students, they still learning

Dread to think that these students will one day be 'let lose' on the American public's teeth. Most of these 'students' can barely speak English!
Be patient with them, rome wasn't built in one day
