The American Academy of Restorative Dentistry presents
"Through the Eyes of the Master"
A Series of Dental Educational Video Projects
The American Academy of Restorative Dentistry is proud to announce a new concept in continuing Dental Education. The Academy, through its Educational Video Committee, and under the guidance of its Council, has embarked on the production of a library of Dental Educational Video projects.
The Academy and its Educational Video Committee are strictly administered on a not-for-profit basis. The concept of the series is to make available to our colleagues the highest quality educational materials at the lowest possible price. The clinicians participating in the project and the committee volunteer their time and efforts.
High-end technology is employed, coupling high resolution digital recording with a head-mounted camera containing a fiber optic light source, magnified operating telescopes, and an intraoral video camera. The images created by this system show clinical views of dental relationships and procedures never before obtainable. The images are identical to the view the clinician sees through his or her loupes, even when working in a mirror.
Projects contain from one to eight DVDs and follow the same general format as follows:
1. An "interview" may be included in which the Clinician discusses philosophies of diagnosis and treatment and the specifics of the techniques involved,
2. A laboratory phase, if appropriate, demonstrating all the procedures in detail,
3. Slide lectures to enhance the learning experience,
4. And when indicated, actual clinical procedures are included, again in great detail.
Each project stands alone as a complete exercise in continuing dental education. These are not “sound bite” videos. The clinicians are asked to tell the entire story, leaving nothing out, so the viewer can truly learn the technique or didactic information.
The goal of the Academy is to produce and make available to the Profession a complete library of video projects to include all aspects of Restorative Dentistry. Your support by purchasing these videos will make it possible to realize that goal.
All material presented in the "Through the eyes of the Master" series is for archival collection of the views of the authors. The American Academy of Restorative Dentistry has taken no official position regarding any of the material presented.
