Guides for dental students

Short, practical answers to the things clinic years throw at you.

Your record

What to record for every case, how to keep it private, and notebook vs spreadsheet vs app.

Which lens and zoom to use, the standard views, mirrors, light and the mistakes that ruin a photo.

When to take it, how to hold the tab, the photos the lab wants, and how to send them without losing colour.
