Dentistry is often referred to as an art and a science. Nowhere is this more evident than in the tiny sculptures clinicians create while performing restorative dentistry. Hands-on skills are best learned through demonstration, practice, reflection, and correction. Videos created using the clinical experience of Dr. Richard Aronstein DDS can be watched repeatedly as an introduction or refresher to the material and positive visualization before exams. Many of the documents included were created and successfully used to aid students in self-reflection by Loretta Johnson RDH, BS, EPDH. Additional resources introduce concepts common for teaching fine art and aid students in 3D visualization.
