As always, great video! Would you be willing to make a video for a Class III composite restoration? Thanks!

Lovely preps. Thanks for the tutorial 👍👍

Do you have any RPD videos?

Hello dear Dr.Stevenson,
could you please make an amalgam restoration guide for class 2 cavity MO...
Cause I've made 3 restorations for that cavity during past 2 days and it all fails due to a fracture in the proximal area and exactly distolingual part, I'm not sure why it keeps breaking there although I've made enough condensation and I was trying to be as gentle as possible during carving and pre/post burnishing and by the way I'm still a student.
Please help me with that, I would really really appreciate it.
*All the love for the great work you're doing to help people in your channel <3

Hi Dr. Stevenson, how important is to use loupes for the CDCA exam. Any loupes you recommend that are good and not too expensive? And what magnification do u think is good for a first time user.
Thank you.

sir please make videos on patients asap!!!!!!!!!

Hi Dr. Stevenson, is it ok to do axial reduction before occlusal reduction? For some reason my occlusal anatomy is not good if I start with occlusal reduction first, however I do know I need a lot more practice. Just wanted your opinion on that. Also Is there a way you could show the position of the handpiece through a video when using indirect vision for occlusal reduction for the bridge #3-#5. Thank you.

Do you recommend leaving the wings on the #5-PFM abutment? I saw a previous PFM prep video of yours where you blended away the wings at the end so it was a smooth transition. What is the benefit to keeping the wings versus smoothing them away? Is either way (wings vs smoothing away the wings) an acceptable method for the board exam? Thank you for your video, very helpful!

I'm looking over the WREB PFM prep grading criteria and all they say is that the PFM margin needs to be 1-1.5mm. From what I understand, that will work for the buccal margin but isn't the lingual chamfer margin usually 0.5mm? It was a little confusing to me and was afraid a 0.5mm lingual margin would be considered too shallow according to their grading criteria. Because of this, I know many students choosing to just do FCC for both posterior abutments since the WREB allows you to choose, to play it safe. Do you have any thoughts on this? Also, I see the burs you're using and I'm used to using an 856-012 or 856-014 for both chamfer margins and a shoulder margin (I just make a deeper chamfer if I'm doing a shoulder margin). Is this the wrong way to go about this?

how to polish my prparation dr? same tools as for composite?

Hi Dr Stevenson, I learned upper amalgam restoration from your video. I’m very grateful, I came across such a great demonstration. May I please request you to make lower amalgam MODL restoration as well, it could help me in clearing my registration exam. Thanks a lot. Have a great day.

Hi Dr.Stevenson,
In this particular video, you have created secondary planes on both the facial and the lingual walls while in the other videos secondary planes are created on the lingual wall of upper molar/premolars and facial walls of lower molar/premolar and not both the walls. Can you please explain the reason?

Your videos are fantastic as is the advice and instruction

Beautiful preps and video! Would you be able to demonstrate these 3-5 preps on CITA teeth? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I liked crown preparation cos you dr. Amazing video. Can i ask you pls the advantages of vertical wings on the premolar ? Thqnx in advance

I enjoyed your lesson! although I would have a question, what is line pf draw? what does draw mean? axial inclination of the abutment coronally? thank you

do you use these the same techniques to prep clinically?

The skill of Dr. Stevenson should not be underestimated. His YT vids are amazing, but don't despair if you don't reach his level. This clinician has a level of clinical skill that far exceeds most and it is amazing to watch and have aspirations to achieve. With practice you should be able to follow his habits and achieve a passing score on licensure. Thank you Dr. Stevenson

Very great work, your videos are a good guide in my classes. All the way from Jamaica 🇯🇲

Definitely passes every board :)
once again thank you for sharing your helpful knowledge.

Thank you for this amazing video. Would it be possible for you to make a video about bridge preparation from canine to first premolar? Would appreciate that a lot.

Why did you prepare plane C before plane B
Thanks in advance

Hi Dr. Stevenson! Is Facial axial reduction 1.2 to 1.5mm for both FGC and PFM? or are they different? Thank you always for your guidance and teaching!

Thank you for this video

Ur works are really good dr...I learned crown cutting from ur videos dr...looking forward for more updates dr...❤

Can we do waterless in case of vital tooth preparation?

Thank you sir, your videos are really amazing. Never stop making them because there are many tips to take away from them. 🙏😊

Does anyone know if you fail the ceramic, but not the bridge, must you repeat all 3 teeth? or just #9?

Beautiful preps! As an older practitioner it's nice to revisit and always strive for excellence as you have demonstrated!

Thank you Dr for these videos. What is cervical bevel ?

How do recommend the transition from shoulder to chamfer on #5? I've decided to smooth the wings away because of potential draw issues. I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Thank you very much

Just wanted to say that I watched this video non stop during preparation for my Approbation exam in Germany. I thank you from the bottom of my heart Doc!

I usually prep my premolar first and copy the line of draw on the molar. The molar has more tooth to lose if necessary

Super sir

Thank you for a step-by-step guide!! I've watched this since I was a student, and it gives me deeper insights the more i watch it.

thank you for the amazing video! It was super helpful. I Just want to make sure I am not missing something- I know ADEX requirements are always changing. Currently, the 2024 manual says that an occlusal reduction of 1-2mm for a cast metal crown adheres to the criteria. So 1mm would be sufficient occlusal reduction for a cast metal crown for the purpose of the exam- correct?

the besttttttt

checking with putty is essential

amazing tips i have question how do i break a contact without damaging the adjacent tooth ?

Sitting here at 4 am before my fixed pros exam hoping some of Dr Stevensons skill diffuses into me through the screen 😫
