How to SEE what you NEED to see - for Dental Students

This course SHOWS you how to SEE what you have to see for every step of a variety of different dental preparations in each quadrant of the mouth.  A typodont is mounted in a manikin, so each quadrant is simulated.  There are a variety of preparations on the typodont and you can see EXACTLY what I see while I look in the best direction for doing every part of the prep.

Students rarely go through the thought process to KNOW what MUST be seen for every step.  Then there is nothing to guide them as to which way to LOOK.  Generally looking the wrong direction will lead to errors in the prep - failing errors.

When you consciously decide what must be seen and make certain you DO see it, then you can do preparations that are far more successful.  Of course, once you decide what must be seen, you must work out which DIRECTION to look so you CAN see what is important.

You will see through MY eyes what I am seeing for every part of a variety of preparations.  You will also see how I position myself relative to the head and how the head is tilted so that I CAN see what must be seen in an inset video.

For example:  most damage to adjacent teeth is done because the operator does not KNOW they are damaging the adjacent tooth - because they are looking the wrong direction.  It is sometimes the case that the strategy for DOING that part of the prep will likely lead to problems, but given a good strategy - seeing how close the bur is to the adjacent tooth is critical!

This course is designed to help you think through an approach that will give you success in your preparations, and allow preps to be done quickly and efficiently - an invaluable benefit for the rest of your practice life!
