I published the following information for dentists to review on YouTube, along with a short video.\u00a0 Ultimately it is the dentist’s\u00a0responsibilty to perform the final\u00a0“fit checking” of\u00a0your lab work prior to placing it permanently in your mouth.\u00a0 <\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

“Everyone knows that dentistry is not an “exact science.”\u00a0 That being said, where do you draw the line regarding the fit of your lab work.\u00a0 Do you simply trust that your lab is operating at 100% quality control?\u00a0 Whose level of quality control?\u00a0 I highly recommend that you at least purchase a stereo zoom microscope that can be mounted to a countertop in your office.\u00a0 “Fit checking” all of your cases under a microcope after they come back from your lab, will give you the opportunity to send the case back for further adjustments.\u00a0 You could be faced with making these adjustments directly in the mouth wasting your time, your money, as well as the patient’s time.\u00a0 For years I’ve struggled with inconsistencies related to lab work during seating appointments.\u00a0 I had to finally “grab the bull by the horns” and you can too.\u00a0 Simply purchase a microscope and watch my video on fit checking.\u00a0 I will be happy to give you the microscope information that you will need to make the right purchase.” \u00a0GC<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The quality of my dental work \u00a0reached an un-imaginable high level of care\u00a0once I stopped using dental loupes and switched to using a dental microscope.\u00a0\u00a0I send all of\u00a0my patients’ lab work to dental labs that also use\u00a0microscopes.\u00a0 Finally, I perform the final “fit checking” procedure and then place the lab work permanently in my patient’s mouth.\u00a0 GC<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
