Full Gold Crown Preparation - #30 Acadental Tooth

[@stephenraydentist]

It's truly crazy how easy this looks compared to how hard it actually is to do for the first time!

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Agreed!

[@kierra5498]

This prep is killing me right now, and we have a practical next week 😢

[@kwishapatel]

This is such a wonderful prep Dr. Stevenson! we are doing the same prep today in sim lab and I prefer watching your videos a couple of times before each sim lab session! keep giving these wonderful tips you have acquired throughout your work! we really appreciate it. you are such an inspiration.

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tokamoataz5144]

I am beyond hrateful for these demos ❤❤ I am from egypt a preclinical student and your demos makes eth much easier thankful

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Great - thank you

[@naylan2633]

You are amazingly generous!

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

My pleasure

[@katjones4840]

That’s beautiful. I have never seems such a nice prep. Normally I see dentist chop the tooth into a tiny peg 😢

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Thank you, Dr. Stevenson

[@rodf2310]

Beautiful work as usual Dr. Stevenson. I'm in the process of applying to US dental schools for advanced standing programs and I would find it very helpful if you'd make a video showcasing some tips and tricks for the bench exams that are required by some schools, including the wax ups. It's a bit early to worry about bench tests as i'm going to sit through the NBDE I this August but it'll give me some time to practice. Thank you very much!

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Hi Doc - I'll do the best I can - please watch all of the videos I have (over 40) that pertain to Bench Topics. Our hands on courses are the best way to get this info.

[@dentaltipsbd]

Hi, fantastic video. I like your methodical and thorough approach, I recommend your channel to my students! Could you please do a video on temporisation of crown/veneer preparations? Thanks

[@abodghafir3582]

Thanks for posting yet another amazing and helpful video, doctor!

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Thank you!

[@sameeraadeel5882]

Love your videos ! Extremely helpful

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Thank you! More to come soon...

[@kingot90]

OMG what a beautiful prep

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Thank you Doctor!

[@nitinsingh5195]

Very nicely explained Sir

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Thank you

[@jyothyrmayiambadipudi3123]

That’s an amazing prep doc. How did you bring that shine to the crown prep in the end ? Any extra tips?

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Jiffy polisher - cup shape, green. Thank you.

[@youhannaandraws5182]

I saw all the crown prep videos. Great educational tool thank you so much Dr. Stevenson. Can you make a video for crown prep on a premolar I find it the most diffcult to get achieve a good result.

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

PFM? ACC? FGC?

[@youhannaandraws5182]

PFM please

[@dalia4014]

Another amazing video thank you Dr Iam trying to follow your steps in prep still having problem with keeping the central groove in its place

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Keep at it! It will come...

[@khaledemad6800]

another amazing video . thank you dr 😃 can you please make video about vertical preparation ?

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Usually this is not a good prep design, but I'll consider doing this too.

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

I don't think I will - this prep is completely against all of the science and principals we know from all evidence.

[@moabazid254]

Great video as always Dr ! you really helped me and still helping me through my time at the University. would you consider to make a video about marilyn bridge preparation ? i'm making one for a patient next week and i was surprised of lack of infos online about these type of bridges ! best regards from germany

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Will do!

[@mustafabassam7175]

Very nice prep dr. Can you please also do pfm on the same tooth

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

I'll out this in the queue - thank you

[@ankursnd]

Thanks for the video Dr Steven , would your recommend similar steps for PFM of same tooth?

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Yes, in fact, you may nearly complete the FGC first, then at the end, reduce the occlusal to gain another 0.5 mm clearance and place the facial shoulder, running from the most facial aspect of the mesial contact to the distofacial tooth line angle... Thank you!

[@ankursnd]

@@StevensonDentalSolutions thank you for the prompt reply. Just did a pfm using above technique, I liked the results. Cheers .

[@renemorales228]

Thanks you so much for this preparation on tooth #30

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

My pleasure, Dr. S

[@iffatkhan6959]

Can you please please make one short video for canine veneer preparation as I am struggling with it.

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Good idea - it's in the queue - thank you for the suggestion Doc!

[@iffatkhan6959]

Can it be please posted soon as I have my exam soon and I'm really struggling with it

[@HS-mg7ie]

In real small dental clinic, combination of carbide bur and diamond bur is complex and difficult. Your demo is great but, diamond burs are alternative for carbide burs?

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Yes, you may use either.

[@hamzaahmed5694]

Amazing :)

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Thank you!

[@ankursnd]

There is another video that you have uploaded for FGC preparation of mandibular first molar . In that you reduce A plane earlier than B plane. What is your opinion on the results from both techniques? Thanks you in advance.

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Both work equally well - the key is to consider the functional cusp bevel as an integral part of the occlusal reduction and the attainment of clearance, rather than an afterthought...

[@09김기홍]

Thank you for making this video!! ㅠㅠ It really helped me in this semester. Interesting thing was, i was taught that there's only 2 planes that needs to prep>functional&nonfunctional area. But after watching your video, i realised that what i learned was a little old fasioned one. I duno if your gonna see this!!....i have something to ask about your opinion 1.I'm thinking about praticing with carbide bur like you, but i've always been using diamond bur. So i'm little worried that the 'feeling' might be very different. Is it okay as i switch to carbide bur? 2. Me in particular, use only #212diamond bur even when preparing prox. area. Would it be okay to use only #57 carbide while prep? Thank you again for your video and hope you be okay from covid-19 !!

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Hi - thank you for your comments and questions! I think that you should try the carbides - they cut very differently but may become your favorites. Let me know what you think...

[@LovelySmile55]

Hello doc thanks for this video! i did my first prep today and find it difficult using the needle bur breaking the proximal contact between the teeth. any tips?

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

That's great - use the tip of the bur at the most gingival portion of the proximal and pull the bur upward creating a slope as you reduce the proximal. Don't try to push the entire bur lingually while trying to reduce the entire height of the proximal area. Using this method, you'll break through the occlusal portion first, while maintaining a protective shell - continue do this until the gingival portion is cleared and the shell breaks off. After this, carefully remove any lips or under extensions at the gingival. You will have enough room now to insert your tapered diamond (878K-012, etc) and refine the axial wall and the finish line.

[@weightloss3062]

hi Dr. Are you using 878 012 for axial reduction at slow speed or high ?

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

High at first, then slow for refinement.

[@michaelfortini3236]

are there any text books you'd recommend for preparations?

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Shillingburg - The Fundamental of Fixed Prosthodontics

[@michaelfortini3236]

@@StevensonDentalSolutions thank you so much. I don't fully trust what i take in college at the moment so I've been meaning to teach myself from the start

[@choochd]

At my school they taught us that the Functional Cusp Bevel is a Secondary Plane except that it's on the buccal surface (for mand) so it's called the FCB. So they teach us to have only 2 planes on the Buccal and Lingual surfaces. I am now seriously questioning this bc I trust Dr. S more than my school lol

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Yes, I understand. Perhaps if your school used the Shillingburg text of prosthodontics it would be different? Anyway, many schools have disparate approaches due to isolationism, school tradition, ease of instruction, the difficulty of change, professors being overworked, hence unable to update their knowledge, and many others. Dental education is in its infancy compared to Law or Medicine - we have a very long way to go. Wishing you the best!

[@choochd]

@@StevensonDentalSolutions You are exactly right we use Shillingburg ! I will have to follow their rules for my practical but now I see there's a more anatomical approach to this contour! Thanks Dr. S you're the best :)

[@Cody-up6dt]

Here I was thinking that I’d be nice after 50 preps. 5,000 is more like it haha

[@StevensonDentalSolutions]

Hah - you'll get there sooner than you think!

[@umairlakhani7166]
