When it comes to direct composite restorations, shape is more important than shade. Mastering primary anatomy with well defined line angles is the difference between mimicking nature or ending up with flat white blobs with no definition. In this Group Function I'm joined by Dr Matt Parsons who answers the following question from the Protruserati:\n\n\n\n\nOnce you have drawn on the desired line angles, how would you suggest to really define them? When using bur or disc I tend to find I get a result which is rather flat and lacks line angle definition.\nDr Devin\n\n\n\nFirstly, if you don't already follow Dr Matt Parsons on Instagram....you will now, and therefore you're welcome. It's dental porn.\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/CFvmFm5FhQk\nDr Matt Parsons on Nailing Line Angles\n\n\n\nNeed to Read it?

I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome to this group function all about line angles this was inspired by Dr Devin Mandalia...\n\n\n\nJaz\u2019s Introduction:\xa0I\u2019m going to ask Devin\u2019s question now. So in episode 52, I gave a Protrusive Dental Pearl about the use of a pencil on its front and on its side to reveal different things about the line angles when you\u2019re doing direct composite restorations like veneers for example.And on that YouTube video of the Protrusive Dental Pearl Dr Devin Mandalia, Devin thanks so much sending your question buddy. He says once you have drawn the desired line angles, how would you suggest to really define them? When using a bur or a disc, I tend to find I get a result which is rather flat and lacks the line angle definition so I got someone who\u2019s absolutely phenomenal at line angles I look at Matt Parsons cases on instagram and every single case he\u2019s absolutely nailed the line angles.And I think that is really the most fundamental thing about what defines the anatomy of your in sciences is about getting those line angles crisp and perfect so they don\u2019t look like flat tic tacs. So Devin, I hope you enjoy and everyone hope you enjoy this group function with Matt Parsons all about how to redefine those line angles. Thanks so much.\n\n\n\nMain Episode:For those listening we need to congratulate Matty Parsons I want to say your name now so you can introduce yourself in a moment but congratulations will be becoming a father to little George who\u2019s seven weeks old. Describe the last seven weeks for us.[Matty]A roller coaster of nappies, no sleep, screaming kind of the moment where you get home from work and Meg just looks like she\u2019s had hit constantly all day and just kind of like throws him at me like get him off me for half an hour at least. But and he was so annoying at the same time. So he can be just crying for no reason for two hours and you\u2019re kind of saying what is wrong with you and then he just gives you one little smile and it\u2019s like oh you\u2019re so annoying because now I can\u2019t be angry with you.[Jaz]So it sounds like George might have what my son had like the whole colic term right I mean my son was pretty colic for the first three four months crying for no reason and stuff. I\u2019ll never forget that. But don\u2019t worry the end is in sight eventually they will grow out of it don\u2019t worry. Well George\u2019s awesome.[Matty]Hopefully sooner rather than later.[Jaz]We\u2019ll have to do a fatherhood podcast another day because today is about it\u2019s a group function about nailing those line angles. Matty your work that I\u2019ve seen on social media is just stunning like even the full protocol cases that you post on mini smart mocova and the before and afters that we see on instagram those line angles and the anatomy is just absolutely brilliant and that\u2019s what we need your help with today.
