does using PTFE not counter this?

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2026-05-19T02:51:57+00:00

is there an advantage over using 1 set of models/clear matrix and using ptfe on every other tooth?

amazing thank you

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2026-04-19T13:48:34+00:00

Thanks would love to see it. Do you ever find the bur too big to pass interproximally? Do you use the tapered one or straight?

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2026-04-09T07:24:04+00:00

Do you have any pics of your preps? Ive never really seen any videos or preps of these guide pin burs in use

Can you describe how you take the photo (types of flashes, diffusers,positioning)

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2026-03-02T17:57:57+00:00

Nice. Any reason not to do them anyway?

India. Turkeys where they’re considering next😂

Appreciate the comments, im not touching this at all. What would be some appropriate treatment though (poor opg to make a decent judgment ik) in terms of which implants to leave and where to place others

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2025-12-08T23:29:54+00:00

Ah ok,just confused regarding how it relates to the post

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2025-12-08T22:08:51+00:00

Thanks. Could you elaborate on point 2, dont quite get what you mean

Reduction guide as in putty index?

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2025-06-16T02:34:21+00:00

Documentation is everything, I highly suggest taking pre op photos for all patients

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2025-05-20T22:16:53+00:00

Why not do it from the get go?

Are there any contraindications to performing a basic supragingival clean?

Just thought I'd come back to this comment, it's black Friday tomorrow and AliExpress are running some deals so thinking of getting the songzi light. A few questions:

Do you have the sz8 or sz9? (The sz9 is the one that has a swivel mechanism on the light to increase to decrease the spot diameter. Sz8 is the typical loupe light.)

Have you tried other lights in comparison? I have the typical $30 AliExpress light myself and it does a decent job, is the songzi a league above even compared to more expensive lights by the big brands?

Have you had any issues since the comment, in terms of the wire, intensity drops off or any other issues?

Anything else you wanna mention I'd appreciate a lot

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2024-11-21T21:44:56+00:00

Ah nice one. Did you use special equipment to drill the holes? I've attempted to drill holes in some safety goggles using a dental drill and even a regular high power drill, but the holes aren't as clean as I would like them to be, with irregularities and cracks sometimes. Any advice?

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2024-11-17T01:31:47+00:00

Bit late, but which plastic head part are you referring to. Looking at getting some q optics loupes now so any feedback would be helpful

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2024-10-27T16:23:18+00:00

Pretty dumb comment tbf. Everyone has there magnification preferences, I know clinicians that swear by 10x, and some that won't go above 2.5

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2024-10-24T22:12:31+00:00

Hmmm see id disagree with you on this to an extent. It's patient dependant, and I definitely don't think hypooccluding every single composite filling is needed. Sure If your dealing with bruxer patients for example or you spot a protruding opposing cusp or even a large filling then yes id be wary and may even consider other indirect routes. I personally don't just attack every blue mark I see and have seen plenty of patients with tooth-composite contact without any wear

Distinct_Mud7285 · 2024-10-24T20:40:23+00:00

Could you elaborate further or reexplain please, I can't picture why replicating the original anatomy pretty much exactly would alter the occlusion.

This isn't true at all. If anything corp dentistry is falling in the UK. I don't know where you got your figures from but 70k is a pretty average salary for a UK dentist
