Dr I have been struggling with gaps on my fillings, I compact really good, but still dealing with the issues. How can I improve this?

[@ssamps4079]

The tip about using the matrix and the scalpel are gonna be lifesavers

[@mentaldental]

I'm glad to hear that!

[@bettyabbey1239]

I love how you bent the mylar strip. Great job. The only thing I would do differently is to reduce the amount of excess composite inter proximally so I do not hav e to go through a lot of removal after it has been cured.

[@ammoula2974]

I love how he used a tuffle mayer band edge for finishing! That’s new for me!! Thanks for the great video!

I love this stuff. I hope I can become a dentist one day.

Where do you study?

[@MoDarnell_fit]

Lingual anterior fillings are SUPER tricky for me. It also doesn’t help that I’m left handed and work in an office with a right handed setup like most. Thank you so much for this video, it helps me out a lot 😊

[@mentaldental]

Thanks for watching, and I'm glad it was helpful!

[@rajitharanvijayasekaram5862]

@Morgan Ride I know how you feel. Instead of fighting the system I taught myself to work with my right hand a couple years back, and everything's much smoother now.

[@mamtaadityasharma4998]

Thankyou for the video, really informative. I am practicing in India, Love the way you finished with tuffle mayor band.

[@taratuttle1069]

You cannot use adhesive material to ensure composite doesn’t stick to instruments. It will weaken the matrix of the composite!

[@tallalahmed3572]

Sir it’s very easy without water. In our clinic we have to demonstrate with water and its so challenging.

[@EllyXtar]

Nice doctors to see this

[@harpreetrandhawa8958]

You are the best !!!! Thanks immensely!!!

[@hannahnoori95]

Hi, thanks for all the videos, super helpful. Just wondering if roughening the enamel walls is the same as bevelling the enamel here? Thanks

tq sir

[@amnahazim539]

You r the best

[@fad7789]

For single bond adhesive . Do we have to do acid etching before

[@bpaganpagan233]

we can use a IPR for finishing insted or also the matrix ?

[@thegreatindians8456]

What will be the C FACTOR IN THIS CASE I THINK 5/0

[@johnkhamrokulov6434]

How deep did you go? Nice cavity prep btw 😊

[@drraghavendrabhat987]

What s that strip used for grinding at 8.40?

[@farshadbajoghli1606]

thanks for the great video, could you tell us how you adust the occlusion so it doesnt take so much time?

[@mentaldental]

Hi Farshad, an important step that people often forget is to check occlusion PRIOR to doing the preparation. This way you can see where and how the contacts already are, and what if anything needs to be adjusted when restoring. This way you can save some time when it comes to adjusting occlusion later on.

[@genexworld1]

What’s the cost for something like this?

[@harpreetrandhawa8958]

Recently studied composites from your operative series Which type of composites do we use ....microfill ,nanofill, or the hybrid types .....if anyone could please clarify !!!!

[@mentaldental]

We use 3M’s Filtek Supreme Ultra which is technically a “nanohybrid” composite.

[@MrGW2fanboy]

Sorry but isn't that an open contact, you can see the gap
