Dental Assisting - Pouring a Perfect Stone Model - Dental Minute with Steven T. Cutbirth, DDS

[@mistydhudd]

Boy she sure makes it look so easy. I've worked in a dental lab for a couple years scanning. Next week I'm starting training in the model room 😬😉 trying to get a lil jump on things.

[@centerforard]

I will soon have a video out on when and how to use scanning, milling, conventional impressions, waxing and pressing. It will all make sense after you watch that video. There is much misinformation about scanning and milling. Take your practice to the Top Tier.

What is that staylight thing? Can't find anything about it

[@drewv4782]

Stalight model hardening. Creates harder models with more flexural strength to resist breaking, chipping and abrasion.

[@centerforard]

Correct. Pouring models correctly is really, really important. You can ruin a nice restorative case with poorly poured models.

[@drtahir66]

You're videos are so inspiring. 2 questions please: 1) what temp water? just tap water or she takes temp of water? 2) does she do 1 model pour at a time or can pout multiple without having stone set? Thank you so much

[@centerforard]

Room temperature water, around 70 degrees F. You can pour both models from the same mix if you use a normal mix stone. Take your practice to the Top Tier.

I’ve been pouring models for 10 years and still struggle with air bubbles. Would love to work at an office with a Whipmix. Since I don’t… What are the top suggestions for avoiding air bubbles?

[@centerforard]

In my opinion, you must have something like a whip mix or you will get air bubbles. Purchasing a whipmix is just a part of being in a good dental practice.

[@gk.8541]

This actually makes me feel a lot better to know that some air bubbles are inevitable without a whip mix.. All these years I’ve been frustrated and blaming my technique. Thank you!

How does she make the base for the models?

[@drmmohamedhussain6828]

At first we followed instructions in manual, college studies.. now here.. after pouring .. we make remaining plaster in bowl as thick consistency.. and form it as base.. and placing impression upside down for drying and for flat bottom.. no more measurments, no more base formers..

[@centerforard]

I am sending your question to our videographer/editor. That needs to be in the video.

[@ctfinneman]

Can they make a video regarding the best music to play in a dental office? Maybe some of Jeremy Renner's hits?

[@centerforard]

Ha, ha. That is a matter of personal preference. I don't like music with singing in the office because I feel it makes it harder to have a conversation. I prefer music that is just instrumental of some kind with no singing. Probably not "hard" music, but also not "elevator" music. Take your practice to the Top Tier.

Dr Stevens some patients asked me before is it wrong to give local anesthesia after taking the coronavirus 19 vaccine? .

[@centerforard]

There is no problem I am aware of. I have given many patients local anesthesia after they have had the Corona virus vaccine. Take your practice to the Top Tier.

Thanks good sir

You are welcome.

[@moneyjoyk]

Never measured stone... laughing at myself...always drop the manufacturer's manual first thing

[@centerforard]

Big mistake. The expansion of the poured model can be significantly affected by the water/powder ratio, which will make your restorations not fit.
