This 5 minute video will show step-by-step the clinical protocol for correctly bonding a zirconia-framed "Maryland" bridge for predictable, long term success. The video shows each step in the process, and Michael also provides some recommendations on products you can use, as he describes the process in detail. 

This 4 minute video will show you how to prepare the best margins and overall cavity preparation for a direct posterior composite restoration to ensure minimal risk of "White Line" formation, microleakage, staining and post-operative sensitivity. 

This 4 minute video summarises the basic design features to create a perfect Michigan-style, Stabilisation Splint. These points can be used on the laboratory prescription card, to order a night splint.

The PDF Download contains this information so that it can also be sent to the laboratory when you are prescribing a splint for the first time.

What you will learn:

• 6 important design elements for a Michigan-style Stabilisation Splint
• How to prescribe a night splint from the Laboratory

This 5 minute video will show you how to safely use TCA to control crevicular fluid flow and limit the risk of bleeding during dental procedures, by chemically cauterising the gingival sulcus. 

How to order TCA is also explained. 

Course Description:

This 3 minute video will show you how to carefully remove impression cord, syringe light body impression material around each preparation, air-blow it, and then seat a custom impression tray in order to achieve perfect veneer impression. 

What you will learn:

• Impression cord should be carefully “teased” out of the sulcus, not pulled out
• Light Body impression material (PVS) should be refrigerated for at least an hour before use to extend working time
• Air thin the impression material to “blow” it into the sulcus
• Second pass of Light Body starts in areas observed to be deficient in impression material
• Seat the tray loaded with Heavy Body material, and set a timer to ensure full setting time is achieved

This 5 minute video demonstrates how to make durable provisional veneers using the silicone index technique and a bis-acryl provisional material. Finishing and polishing procedures enable the fabrication of a cosmetically acceptable and very mildly functional set of porvisional restorations.
