Study with a Master at Your Home, Lab or Office!
With Jensen’s convenient and cost-effective Virtual Study Clubs, you and your employees can engage in valuable professional learning opportunities within your own environment.
This unique format allows for interactive training of registered participants, whose own models will be used by the instructor -- while at the same time also allowing any number of your other employees to learn by ‘over-the-shoulder’ observation. Simply project the sessions on a conference room screen, and you’re ready to go!
Join master educator Russell T. DeVreugd for six exceptional live Webinars over six weeks covering multiple topics combined in a way that makes it easier than ever for you to participate!
- Mr. DeVreugd will share equilibration, waxing, treatment planning and ceramic design methods and techniques perfected while teaching the longest-running Occlusal Morphology curriculum offered in the United States.
- Registered participants will have access to recordings of all modules for a period of 90 days.
- An optional hands-on course will be offered in Raleigh, NC at a significant savings for Study Club participants.

Module 6: Final Case
Thursday February 9th, 2012 at 3:30 pm est - Russell T. DeVreugd - 1 CDT Credit
The most important aspect of crown fabrication is achieving the proper tooth form. Whether the blueprint is derived from adjacent teeth or the treatment plan wax up, tooth form must be carefully considered and faithfully executed during every phase of crown fabrication from dentin build up through internal characterization and final enamel layering.
This module will cover:
- Using Pulse Press-to-Metal
- All Ceramic
- PFMs
