OUR METHOD
SURGICAL MICROSCOPE TRAINING is done in a true operatory setting. I feel
that this is the best way for my students to be able to take the information
learned during our training course and put it to use on Monday at the office. The
course is a two day intensive handson experience.
OUR SCHEDULE
DAY ONE brings the students through familiarization with the microscope and
its parts and then parfocalizing the microscope (adjusting the occulars so that
the right and left eyes are focused on one object relative to each other).
Whether you are a restorative dentist, endodontist or periodontist, the ability to
operate a handpiece in the form of crown preparation will give you excellent
eyehand coordination that can be applied to any discipline of dentistry.
Therefore all students go through a sequence of anterior veneer preparation,
then anterior crown preparation.
The morning of the first day the students proceed on the either a maxillary left
posterior tooth for the right handed or a maxillary right posterior tooth for the left
handed. In the afternoon of the first day the students switch to the contralateral
maxillary posterior tooth.
DAY TWO starts with a review of posterior maxillary preparations and then to
mandibular molar crown preparations both direct and indirect (left molar for the
right handed student or right molar for the left handed student). After a lunch
break, the opposite side mandibular molar is prepared. Finally, gingival grafting
procedures are reviewed for any students wishing this discipline.
MATERIALS TO BRING
Students should bring a clean laboratory coat to the course. All other materials
are provided to the student. If the student wishes, a pair of loupes may be of
value,even to compare to the visual improvement with the surgical microscope.
