Please post any questions you have I will try to help you as much as I can in my best ability.
I'd be glad to read through your own technique for doing it to see if I can spot any potential trouble spots. In school we used cold lateral condensation. You can look up if you need to, but I don't have time to write out a complete recipe.I am not constantly getting them but would say 2 out of 5 preps I do.. also what is the obturation tech. you would suggest, because mine doesn't seem to be working out.
There's (most likely) your problem. The whole point of having standardized master cones is that you put the proper size master cone to fit your apical preparation. Once you get the master point in place, obturate the rest of the way with accessory cones.then stick sealer in with accessory and after that put in master
If you're putting an accessory cone in prior to your master, of course you're getting a snug fit--because you're not getting the master cone all the way down your preparation. Are you taking a working radiograph after fitting your master cone? If not, you should.my master cone fits well. no prob. there.... but I still seem to get some voids
that class is the worst class you can take
his name is doctor gilber, terrible person
who just care about the money not the students
I have had a friend who has taken his course and
he just wasted his 1500 dollars for the course
DOn't do that, he did it and he was not satisfied.
Hi all,
The stress is really getting to me now since my UOP wreb is about 1 week away. Here's two possible patient I can use:
1. Patient A has ideal lesion on #13M (composite), but clinical crown is short (I measured the occlusal-gingival height on the mesial is 2.5-3mm). She is a great patient, super nice and cooperative.
2. patient B has a lesion on #29 DO (alloy), definitely into DEJ and could potentially be big. Patient has narrow ramus, very difficult to put on a rubber dam. Patient has spine problem and cannot lie down still for very long. Patient will take prescription strength pain killer on the day of the exam if its needed.
Im 70% sure I will use patient A b/c of her great attitude, the short clinical crown worries me a bit because by the time I drop the box, I'm risking the gingival floor to be at the gingiva level (lots bleeding perhaps, potential damage to the papilla). Anyone used a short clinical crown and still did ok?
Let me know please.....thanks!!!

What did you end up doing and how do you feel it went?
Hi All,
I had no problem with the papilla issue, I used a medium gauge rubber dam and it was fine. One of my amalgam patient was rejected for "over-treatment", but the lesion did show there's a something going on below height of contour and was into dentin. No point on really argue that they should have accepted my patient. I ended up doing both fillings on same patient, #12 DO alloy and #13 MO composite. No need to switch/sterilize instruments, saved a lot of time =). Instead of cleaning instruments and waiting for it to be sterilized, my patient, assistant and me all used 40 mins of lunch break. I thought my floor examiners were really nice, at one point, I wrote down the wrong wall to extend, he sat down, looked at the prep and asked me " Dr. are you sure you want to extend the facial wall?" He held the mirror in place and I looked at it again and realized I wrote down the wrong wall, then he said "don't worry, just relax" and granted my extension.
As far as other parts of operative, I think I did ok. Both of my lesions needed some extension but not too much, just 0.5 mm here and there, and I took them out with 1/4 round bur. My composite didn't really look that great. I felt a lil rushed my assistant, she's trying to keep me on track of time. I felt good with my alloy, even though I only spent 2.5 hrs on the whole procedure. My patient peeked at my score and said I got 4's and 5's. My patient is really nice and friendly, she chatted with the examiners and even told them she'd give them some tourist info after the exam. So after we finished everything, my patient (also my friend) walked into the grading area and chatted with the examiners, gave them a map and told them to goto Top of the Mark lounge in downtown SF. She gave me some info on the examiners and some of them never been to SF before, and one guy is from Alaska. She learnt their full names but I guess I should't reveal them here.
I had some doubts with perio, I used one quad on my friend and cavitroned it 3 times and scaled it three times. I still felt some bumps on lingual of #30 and #29. I took a quick 5 min break to rest my hands, and tried to feel the bumps again. It wasn't distinctive bumps, maybe part of the anatomy. I hope they don't consider that calculus despite how hard I tried to remove them but couldn't. I used a perioptix light thru out the exam and I really think it's helpful for you to see everything in the prep. I even saw a lil piece of subgingival calculus when my assistant blew a lot of air into the gingival margin, which I couldn't have missed since it's on the most distal part of the d#30.
I struggled thru endo. I spent a great deal with access, and made it as pefect as possible. By the time I got to rotary instruments, the girl next to me is already doing her master cone and it's only 1.5 hrs past the start of the exam. I barely finished endo on time, with a lil sealer got into another canal in the posterior teeth and lil void in the coronal portion. My anterior was good, but around 1mm short of apex.
I felt bad for the foreign dentist who came to UOP to take it. They all had to drag their luggages or storage compartments around with them the entire day. A few of them didn't end up showing up for endo portion since they got pink slipped for caries or didn't have patient that qualified. My biggest advice is: try to take it at your home school and avoid going to another school. During the endo exam, a lot of the foreign dentists are asking us UOP students how to use the x-ray machine. We honestly did not have the time or patience to coach someone thru it when everyone is under time pressure. I noticed some people can't communicate with the floor examiners that well and resulted in some arguments. Im so glad I took it at my home school.
I guess prosthoman was banned....too bad, but I was hoping someone could answer my quick question: If you run out of time at the end of a Saturday or Sunday, can you temporize the patient, dismiss them, and bring them back to finish on Monday morning? Is there any point penalty for this?
Thanks
What Is The Bur # Used For Gold Foil Restoration? Please Pm Me If Possible! God Bless!
Yes, you need permission and a signature. You can only do this for your class II's NOT for perio.
DD
Thank you desidentist and futuredentist for your inputs. I shall try and find a premolar but if not I shall try restore it before so I don't have to deal with any surprises. Thanks again!
Please post any questions you have I will try to help you as much as I can in my best ability.
Pen stands for Penicillin
if patient is allergic to Pen then Clindamycin is prescribed
Hi!Prosthoman,
If the patient get pseudomembraneous colitis of using Clindamycin, do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks!
Black Rose
Discontinue the use of Clindamycin and switch over to Metronidazole. Vancomycin can be used if Metronidazole does not work.
Please post any questions you have I will try to help you as much as I can in my best ability.
I'm a GPR resident and I will be taking the WREB this coming April....I learned to use Therma Fill and I am very comfortable and familiar with this technique. Have you heard anything positive or negative in using TF for the endo portion of WREB?
Thanks a lot for the help guys!
I was also wondering about doing a class III composite instead of class II, but since this is a new thing on the exam I'm kind of afraid of doing it since there is no feedback on this portion grading...what dou you think?
I'm totally stressed out over taking the WREB!!!!!!!!! Has anybody out there taken it at The University of Pittsburgh and has some suggestions????
Please, every little bit of info is very welcome!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!![]()

Thanks
Hi,
A friend of mine told me some questions from the computer test and I need help finding the answers .
1- What is the axis of rotation in RPD that only has teeth #21, 22 and 27?
1.a Plan a partial for this same case.
2-In a crown prep, what is the bur used to make bevel in the chanfer margins?
3- What is the biggest problem when you try to replace teeth 9 and 10 in a RPD?
If anybody else remember questions please post them even if you dont have the answers.
I said bevel in chamfer margin not only chamfer.....it can be made with a flame finishing bur or a diamant bur...but I was wondering what is the best answer .
Best teeth to do is max central incisor & max first-bi
No, u don't need any WL xray. Measure the tooth before and that's your WL. The first xray to take is the cone fit.
