Twenty-four one-page protocols for the crowns, veneers and onlays you place every week, plus the Cement Chooser and a glossary, with a step-by-step guide to the cements and primers by brand, and an optional £15 Materials Atlas upgrade. Written by a UK clinician, in the same order on every card.
The detail lives in IFUs, lecture notes and half-remembered courses. On a busy list, that is where debonds begin.
Each cement, primer and ceramic has its own sequence, printed small and filed in a drawer.
Gold and zinc phosphate forgave a great deal. Zirconia and lithium disilicate forgive far less.
A good day's teaching is hard to recall at the chair, mid-list, with the patient waiting.
Saliva and try-in paste left on the intaglio, or cleaned with the wrong thing for that material.
A small mix-up between surface treatments that shows itself months later.
Often fine on a retentive prep. A gamble on veneers, short preps and bonded bridges.
One card per material and restoration. Read it once, then glance at it at the chair.
Learn the layout once and every card reads the same. Big enough to read on your phone, sharp enough to print and laminate.
Unlike most reference sheets, each card names its evidence and tells you what to put in the notes.
Material-led: what to do for each restoration, in the same order every time.
A short decision tree and table. Answer a few questions about the restoration and the prep, and you know which cement the case calls for.
And a glossary of the terms and the names that mean the same thing, such as PFM, PBC and metal-ceramic.
14 restorative materials and 12 cements and primers, one page each, with the common brand names (lithium disilicate is IPS e.max and others). Includes a contents page and a guide to the zirconia types.
When It Debonds (ten failure cards), Rubber Dam isolation (eleven cards, from kit and clamp choice to sealing leaks) and the cementation Tray Set-up. 30 pages.
38 cement and primer systems from the major manufacturers, steps by restoration material, paraphrased from their instructions for use. Gaps are marked, never guessed. 48 pages.
Associates move between practices, materials and systems. These cards are material-led, with brand examples, so they work with whatever is on the shelf, and the one page you need is always the same place on the card.
Fuz has practised since 1999 and runs two dental practices in Warwickshire, working at the chair himself. These are the protocols he wants his own associates to have beside them.
Sold by Pennington Dental.
24 protocol cards, the Cement Chooser, Cementation Steps by Brand, a glossary and the evidence index. A5 and A4 2-up print versions.

No. It is a set of printable reference cards in PDF form. There are no videos, no lessons and no CPD certificate.
None in particular. Product names appear only as examples, and every card reminds you that the manufacturer's instructions for use come first.
Yes. It uses UK terminology and record-keeping, and is written with NHS and private practice in mind. The materials science applies anywhere.
The cards are A5. Print two to an A4 page (a ready-made A4 2-up file is included), or print single cards to laminate. Print at actual size (100%), not "fit to page". Everything sits inside a 5 mm margin, so ordinary office printers will not clip it. They also read well on a phone or tablet.
The licence is for one dentist. Print them for your own surgery and use them as you like there, but please don't share the files.
If DFR isn't useful to you at the chair, email drfuz@penningtondental.co.uk within 30 days of buying and we'll refund you in full. No forms, no questions.
Educational reference for dental professionals. It does not replace the manufacturers' instructions for use, local regulations or your clinical judgement. Digital product (PDF); nothing is shipped.
