Various Options to become proficient:

​

1. Self-Trained

Many choose this option. It is similar to Loupe training - it takes some time to acclimate to the higher magnification.

​

The Book. We encourage learning from The Dental Microscope which is a 261 page book with training exercises and information on how to utilize microscopy in many different procedures.

​

2. Spear Education

Strong endorsements from the staff. The CEREC courses in the building show the value of smooth, glasslike margins leading to successful treatment

​

3. Baylor University

Once a year a special clinic is held on basic microscope training geared toward the Seiler microscopes

​

4. In-Office Training

Dr Rick Schmidt (co-author of The Dental Microscope will come to your office to teach the fundamentals of using the microscope. The cost: $1950 for 2-days plus travel expenses
