In this video, I explain the infinite bevel technique, developed to create a dental restoration interface without visible demarcation, allowing more flexible adjustments and a smooth finish. I demonstrate how to make inclinations with specific burs to achieve a continuous and seamless finish. Thi...

In this video, I share valuable tips for handling composite resin, addressing methods for removing resin from the tube to prevent contamination and waste, as well as controlling the ideal amount for a final layer. I demonstrate how to use simple techniques to ensure a clean and efficient protocol...

In this video, we present an innovative container for the development and fixation of radiographs. This product allows saving up to 72% of the revealing and fixing liquids due to its special design. With three different colors to identify each liquid, the container simplifies the process of ident...

In this video, we discuss the importance of cervical sealing before internal tooth whitening. This practice is essential to prevent possible external root resorption, a complication that can occur due to peroxide migration to the periodontium. We explain how to correctly measure the distance from...

In this video, we present a tip on using a flexible dark background, such as the Smile Line Flex palette, ideal for dental photography and anterior tooth examination. This matte background allows you to take pictures without surface glare interference, ensuring a more precise and detailed result....

In this video, we discuss the use of an interproximal matrix to protect adjacent teeth during cavity preparation. The matrix, available in different sizes and colors, allows for better control in protection and adaptation in smaller cavities, optimizing contact and safety in the procedure. Ideal ...

In this video, we discuss the use of a specific composite, Selite Omega, developed by Dr. Neuten Fall. We explain how to apply dentin and enamel layers, highlighting the handling and finishing of the material for better results in dental restorations. We also cover the easy application of incisal...

In this video, I explain the different programs on curing devices like Bluephase and their applications in specific clinical contexts. I demonstrate the light intensity of each program and indicate in which clinical situations, such as anterior restorations and crown cementation, they should be u...

In this video, I present the Profin system by W&H, ideal for polishing and finishing composite resins and cemented parts. I demonstrate the use of its autoclavable and flexible tips for cervical and proximal finishing. The Profin performs oscillatory movements, allowing excess removal and precise...
