Long considered the finest material for restorative dentistry, gold is often (unfortunately) omitted from treatment plans as a viable option in today’s modern dental practice. In this 90-minute presentation, Dr. Richard G Stevenson will focus on techniques to produce predictable precision gold castings that conserve and protect tooth structure. Special attention will be placed on preparation designs to maintain aesthetics, simplify clinical and laboratory procedures and allow practitioners to provide restorations of the highest quality. 


Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
        
  • Decide when cast gold is the best option to satisfy the patient’s value profile.
  •     
  • Learn how to diagnose the need for extra-coronal vs intra-coronal restorations.
  •     
  • Complete a step-by-step technique to produce castings of remarkable precision.
  •     
  • Understand the use of auxiliary retention and how it saves tooth structure.
Dr. Richard G. Stevenson III received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from UCLA in 1982 and his DDS from the UCLA School of Dentistry in 1986. After practicing general dentistry for 7 years in Laguna Niguel, California, he accepted a full-time teaching position at the UCLA School of Dentistry, as an Assistant Professor in the Section of Operative Dentistry.

For four years he served as the Chair of the Pre-Clinical Operative Dentistry Course where he authored several comprehensive illustrated syllabi in Operative Dentistry. Dr. Stevenson has been recognized by his students on six occasions as the Teacher of the Year and has received numerous additional teaching awards from twenty different classes of students. He has over published over 30 articles on dental materials, the principles of evidence-based dentistry, and restorative techniques in peer-reviewed journals. Stevenson has given more than 500 continuing education presentations and table clinics in restorative dentistry.
