@@StevensonDentalSolutions I do have one question also. When working on live people the water spray restricts my view in the mirror to the point that nothing can be seen. How do you deal with that while maintaining the things said in the video?
Keep the water spray controlled - often it is way too high. Also, try moving the mirror a bit further a way. A dental assistant helps but this isn't always possible. Cut a little, the look, then cut a little then look. After a while, "you will see through the spray" like a Jedi Knight!
@@StevensonDentalSolutions Well I hope the force will get stronger with me! 😀 Can I suggest content? Maybe some more guides, tips and tricks in endodontics, full/partial dentures,tooth beared overdentures, impressions etc? But these ergonomics and basics are great cause seems to me not many people talk about it. Btw my first ceramic onlay turned out great thanks to your onlay video!
This is a phenomenal video. I have been looking for a guidance on this topic for so long and am so happy you created it. Maybe I didn't search out for enough mentorship in dental school or in private practice but I've never had an instructor teach these concepts like you. It's honestly therapeutic for me to watch these videos, learning about ways to get better. Thank you so much.
Today our professor gave us a demo about chair positioning and concluded it by giving credit to Dr.Richard Stevenson and recommended that we watch your video and I'm really glad I found it. Thanks, Dr. Stevenson!
Today I had very my first patient in operative dentistry today as a dentistry student and I had a very hard time on the distolingual surfice of tooth 24 on indirect vision. The tooth was also rotated so I felt very bad for having hard time trying to actually see and operate at the same time. This video made me feel much better, I now know this can be improved. Thank you!
Thank you so much Dr Stevenson, really great content. More videos on vision and access during crown preps maybe on a live patient would be much appreciated! Ive really needed this in recent times.
am so glad i found this channel thank you so much during my college years they never actually taught us about ergonomics and i've graduated for 2 years but am still struggling with the indirect vision which made me very frustrated but youre video gave me hope thank you ! please make a video on endodontics and on how to obturate to be exact am also struggling with that 😅
Really informative .. some tricks were awesome, I've discovered that I have been working for a year with many mistakes u have mentioned .. thank u so much, Dr
Thank you so much Sir ! This is wonderful. I have a request. Can you please show how to hold and use hand instruments as a continuation of this video. For upper teeth, I am having some hard time using hand instruments. Thank you. Really appreciate your efforts for us.
WOW! Superb. Thank you so much for this! I am having my operative rotation and this helps so much. Please give tips on what to do when your mirror gets splashed with water droplets while doing maxillary teeth.?
Thank you Dr. Stevenson for these amazing tutorials videos. Could you tell us what type of loupes and camera that you used during filming videos, please?
I use Univet 5x lpu[es and a Canon Vixia HD G70 with a 2X close-up additional magnifier, mounted on a Glide Gear rack with a Manfrotto articulating arm.
@@StevensonDentalSolutions Thank you so much dear professor for your kind replying, all of us woe you alot, I always recommend your Chanel to my students. Huge greetings from Yemen 🇾🇪
Thank you so much Dr. Stevenson for sharing very helpful videos. I would like to know if we will be allowed during the bench exam to rotate the dental mankin to a comfortable position that would work the best for us the way you showed in this demonstrating video thanks.
I appreciate your amazing tips about this. This is the first time I see it I have searching it for years but no one teaches details and clearly like you. We pray God bless you, Dr Stevenson and I need to share your videos to Vietnamese dentists because it is very helpful.🙏😍❤️
thank you for the valuable demonstration. I have a question, as at the end of the video when you prepared the upper first molar you said the mirror could be in front of behind the handpiece, but at the same time, you said they should be in the same line. can you explain this point please?
Hello Dr. Stevenson! What a great video, really helpful! I have a question though...how do you deal with the water coming out of the handpiece and striking the mirror? Or maybe some debris(?) that come out while working? What do you do in those types of situations? Thank you for posting great videos btw!!
Thank you doctor!! Its really really helpful. Can i ask you a favor. Can you please do a video of cl2 max molar amalgam preparation with indirect vision. That would be really helpful. Thank you doc!!
HI Dr. Stevenson How are you? Doctor what's the name of the device used and ask if it made specially for your school or available for sale? I mean the movable device used to fix teeth?
We have it available or it may be ordered from Kilgore international: CBM 3 Compact Bench Mount.kilgoreinternational.com/product/cbm-3-compact-bench-mount/
Doc may i ask about mirror position when preping class 2 amalgam prep for number 2 and 15 molars especially the box area where we need to see the while walls not to mention the occlusal part TIA
I usually try to position the mirror distal to the tooth and angle as needed. Smaller mirrors can be very helpful, like #2 and even #0. Second molars are challenging. Sometimes we must simply rely on our finger rest and bur position and then "cut a little, look a little" to get the prep completed.
Great content doc! I have a question to ask. 3 years ago i chose dentistry over medicine. That day I'd had a neck pain and pain in the fingers of my right hand for a week. I thought, i didn't have any major problems with my neck before and I've been feeling this pain for a week so i don't wanna decide against dentistry because of it. But unfortunately the pain hasn't gone away ever since. Doctor said it was probably a bad idea for me to choose dentistry because there should be a problem with my neck (herniated disc) and i went for MRI and doctors said it's fine and i need physical therapy and it helped but after six months the pain came back. My therapist said it's not a big deal just stiffness and trigger points. It's not severe but even walking or standing triggers it. Both stiffness and pain in neck and pain in the fingers of my right hand. Now I have 3 more years to finish dental school and I'm not even sure if i can become a dentist or not. Or even if i should quit or not. I don't even know if it's too late for me to get into med school. It's really hard (if possible) to do that now. I feel like i made a huge mistake. I'm 21. How serious do you think it is? Should i quit dental school? Some people say dental radiology is a good choice for me but in order to make enough money to own my own dental radiography clinic i need to work as a general dentist for some time. It means a lot if you answer.
Dentistry has many options which don't require as much neck bending...like orofacial pain, public health, research, etc. Medicine has similar issues with surgeons and of course many non-stressing ergonomic options. I'd seek additional opinions before throwing in the towel. Best wishes.
Each operator develops their own style. I use a modified pen grasp with subtle movements initiated with my upper and lower arm and sometimes my wrist. I rarely need to use my fingers. If you slow down the handpiece, by lifting off the rheostat, you'll be able to sense more resistance and know how to push, pull, slide lift or drop the bur as needed...
Thank you very much for the video Dr Stevenson. The topic was really bothering me these past weeks, i am going to try it tomorrow on my preparation. I still have one more question, where should the dental assistant be positioned ? Thank you very much in advanced.
Dr Stevenson shares some excellent foundational concepts in this video. I hope many students can derive from the wisdom shared through these videos!
Thank you, Doctor!
Here in India most professors show ego problems even in this kind of demonstrations. Thank you professor for teaching us!! 😁
Thank you.

So true yaar

Hello Dr
If I am right handed,what is the best clock position to sit for quadrant 3(lower jaw)??
Usually 7 for setting up the line of draw, then back to 11-12 to gain access.
God bless you sir. It was a wonderful lecture.
Thank you

Both are true - line the mirror, handpiece and tooth and your line of site in one plane, which might be a line or a plane.
it’s awesome 👏🏼 it was very helpful really i appreciating that you did this amazing video 💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏻 many thanks ..

Excellent sir....coming from Nepal
I spent 4 months in Nepal years ago - I even learned Nepali. Stayed in a village called Ikudhal
Wow sir, u must visit us again and this time for educating us
I would enjoy this!
Hello Dr. Stevenson!
What a great video, really helpful!
I have a question though...how do you deal with the water coming out of the handpiece and striking the mirror? Or maybe some debris(?) that come out while working? What do you do in those types of situations?
Thank you for posting great videos btw!!
Wipe the mirror on patients buccal mucosa
fix the water on your handpiece, in stead of sparing water make it drip water...controle it from the chair unite
Thanks a lot Dr.
You promised as #one video per week.. But you late for us 😊
We appreciate what do you introduce, but we need more

Dr. Stevenson, thanks so much for video. For amalgam filling 46 and 36 what should be patient position and our position? please explain, kind regards.
Please watch the other video on chair position with the manikin - I think the answers are there...If not, please reach out again, thank you!
Thanks dr
Happy to share.
Excellent videos doctor..Would you prep all your maxillary teeth in 12 o’clock..Which position do you reccomend for crown prep on 2 and 15?
11 for most in the mirror and 9 for some aspects like proximals with direct vision
Can you share a bit more on the feel for actually moving the handpiece? Is it like a twisting motion of the forearm or more like a pushing motion?
Each operator develops their own style. I use a modified pen grasp with subtle movements initiated with my upper and lower arm and sometimes my wrist. I rarely need to use my fingers. If you slow down the handpiece, by lifting off the rheostat, you'll be able to sense more resistance and know how to push, pull, slide lift or drop the bur as needed...

@@StevensonDentalSolutions thank you very much. Will practice this today in my office. I wish you also the best from Germany.

would be cool if you could do a pov of you using the mirror while another camera is showing your ergonomic while you prep and restore.
I agree - I have a loupe cam and do this regularly for my courses...it's not quite the same quality of resolution but I will for sure.
