Your nurse’s eyes are like pools of fire - that’s half her lunch break gone. This happens a few more times until you realise that you’re missing a trick… Enter this podcast to save your career! ;) https://youtu.be/5MVvknCNV-8 Watch PDP200 on Youtube Dr Jaz Gulati and Dr Mahmoud Ibrahim will teach you how to radically minimize adjustments on your daily restorations. Key Takeaways: Always check the patient's occlusion before starting any restoration. Utilize shim stock to ensure accurate occlusal contacts post-restoration. Pre-op visual checks are crucial for successful composite placement. Don't compromise on the anatomy of the restoration for aesthetics. Use thinner articulating paper for more precise occlusal markings. Communicate effectively with your dental nurse about new protocols. Involve your senses to assess the quality of your restorations. Document occlusal marks pre and post-restoration for reference. Adjustments should be minimal if pre-op checks are thorough. Educate patients about their occlusion to manage expectations.

So I'll look at where the marginal ridge is compared to the base of the cavity. Where's the bottom of the fissure pattern on the adjacent tooth, for example. Use those visual references and then the angle of the cusp. The angle of the cusp is probably, for me at least, one of the most important ones.
